More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.

BREAKING: Blue Origin has delayed the return of its New Glenn rocket until January 2027, following a massive explosion that destroyed critical launch infrastructure earlier this year.
In an internal memo to employees (pictured), CEO Dave Limp confirmed the company is abandoning its previous goal of resuming launches before the end of 2026.
New Glenn has been grounded since May 28, when an explosion during engine testing severely damaged Blue Origin's only operational New Glenn launchpad at Cape Canaveral.
The company traced the failure to an oxygen valve on one of the rocket's BE-4 engines and has spent months rebuilding the pad and redesigning launch operations.
Despite restoring major sections of the launch complex, construction delays and severe weather have pushed the next flight into January.
The delay creates additional pressure on Blue Origin as it works to fulfill launch commitments for Amazon's satellite constellation and NASA's Artemis lunar program.
The new timeline was first reported by the Financial Times and confirmed by Reuters.

There is one contingency in which I won’t reintroduce the articles of impeachment:
Hegseth resigns.
“Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, the famously anti-Trump GOP lawmaker, told CNN he plans to trigger a vote to impeach Hegseth when Congress returns next week — and multiple GOP sources said they expect it to pass.” cnn.com/2026/11/04/politics/…

BREAKING: President Trump has been asking his advisers if Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should remain in his job, per CBS
Trump, please dump Hegseth

This won’t happen. Space is on an all-time trajectory with Jared Isaacman at the helm at NASA. Aerospace is one hopeful industry in many states contending with AI layoffs.
Some may try, but access to space transcends politics ❤️
