We join Star Trek fans in mourning the loss of actor Walter Koenig. He joined the cast of the original Star Trek television series in its second season as Russian navigator Pavel Chekov, a key member of the Enterprise crew. Koenig portrayed Chekov in two seasons of the original series and all six of the original series major motion pictures.

On 26 October 1968 happened the first successful flight of a Soyuz spacecraft (7K-OC active) with Georgij Beregovoj onboard. It was the rehersal of the ill-fated flight of Soyuz 1 (Komarov's death). The Soyuz 3 failed to dock with the unmanned Soyuz 2 and landed 3 days after.

On 26 October 1940 the very first prototype of the future P-51 made its first flight. Born as private venture (after British input) it flew as NA-73X (NX19998), it was developed as A-36 Apache (Allison engine) and after into the P-51 Mustang (Packard Merlin engine).

The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before the restrictions. The speeds are now where they need to be. The restoration began overnight, and by this morning, speeds were already sufficient. This matters: for our frontline logistics, for defending Ukraine against jet-powered “shaheds.” I thank all Americans and all our partners who took this seriously and truly helped – members of Congress, senators, all the media, the State Department, and the President. Protecting lives matters.

Blue Origin has stacked the final tower segment for LC-36A! Nearly 5 months ago New Glenn exploded on the pad during testing damaging the original tower and destroying the lightning tower. Now the tower is fully stacked awaiting the umbilical extensions ahead of New Glenn's Return To Flight on December 28th. This is record pace for a pad rebuild that many said wouldn't happen until 2028, major congrats to the BO team! 👏👏

Voglio ringraziare le donne e gli uomini delle Forze dell’Ordine che anche oggi, nelle piazze italiane, hanno lavorato per garantire la sicurezza dei cittadini e il diritto di manifestare pacificamente, nonostante i tentativi di alcuni violenti di provocare scontri e disordini. Un ringraziamento al Ministro dell’Interno Matteo Piantedosi, ai prefetti, ai questori e a tutti coloro che hanno coordinato e gestito le operazioni di ordine pubblico. Il diritto di manifestare va sempre garantito, così come il diritto dei cittadini di vivere le proprie città in sicurezza. È in questa direzione che vanno anche le misure approvate nei giorni scorsi dal Consiglio dei Ministri: dare allo Stato strumenti più efficaci per prevenire le violenze e impedire che delinquenti e facinorosi possano mettere a ferro e fuoco intere città. Perché la sicurezza va garantita a tutti. A chi vuole manifestare pacificamente, a chi lavora e a chi vuole vivere la propria città senza paura. Senza lasciare spazio a chi cerca soltanto lo scontro e la violenza.
