In the last two weeks Starship flight 12 was the biggest thing launched, and it might even look like the biggest story in spaceflight news, but that doesn't mean we can ignore all the other stuff going on! 

We have a new crew on China's space station, some cool new satellites. Stoke space is testing their booster and Blue Origin are cleared to fly New Glenn, again.

As part of NASA Artemis, we’re building a Moon Base to serve as a lunar habitat for long duration exploration and science.

During this live news event from NASA Headquarters, agency leaders will discuss progress on the Moon Base program, including new industry partners and mission plans.

Moon Base is a lunar exploration and infrastructure initiative designed to enable sustained human presence and expanded scientific and commercial activity at the lunar South Pole. Robotic missions will work alongside astronauts to study the Moon and help prepare us for future Mars missions.

Goonhilly, huh?

[ckilmer]

The psyche mission is the goal. It is the modern version of a mountain sized deposit of silver the Spanish empire found in 1540 in Bolivia—and then started mining about 1560 after a Bavarian engineer figured out how to mine it. For two hundred years it was the main source of Spanish imperial wealth.

If you want some of the most pleasant bedtime reading you’ll ever enjoy, there is a book called 1493 by Charles Mann that tells the story.
