- ULA CEO marks the last Atlas-5 rocket moving through its factory
There are only 16 Atlas-5 launches left, with all the rockets now built and ready, leaving room for the assembly of Vulcan rockets.
- Scientist discovers another type of aurora
This phenomenon is similar to another new aurora type that scientists claim to have discovered in 2017 and stupidly dubbed “Steve,” a name so asinine I have found it impossible to take the whole thing seriously.
- SpaceX celebrates the 100th country that has approved Starlink for use by its citizens
The tweet does not say the country, but Jay says it is Sierra Leone.
- Chinese company OneLinQ launches civilian satellite internet terminal for high-speed connectivity via Asia-Pacific 6D satellite
Jay notes that their subscription price is $4,000 a month, gigantic compared to Starlink or any other similar service.
