Beware, that's just a Cardassian Galor class refit ^^

Astronomers Find the Edge of the Milky Way Astronomers have located the edge of the Milky Way’s star-forming disk, showing that it extends 40,000 light-years out from the center.

Astronomers have located the edge of the Milky Way’s star-forming disk for the first time, showing that star formation is focused within 40,000 light-years of our galactic center.

Super Erklärung! 👍

A second orbit dataset from SpaceForce for the BlueBird-7 sat shows it in a 265 x 485 km x 43.0 deg orbit, indicating that the upper stage delivered about 1000 m/s, mostly changing orbital inclination. This is about half the dV that would have been needed for the target orbit

NEW: Astronaut Reid Wiseman shares a video of ‘Earthset’ that was taken with his iPhone

“This is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye…” Wiseman said.

This has to be the greatest iPhone video of all time.

Best estimate for the SECO-1 orbit given the slow observed decrease in altitude in the webcast is somewhere in the range of 164 x 380 km to 116 x 420km, depending on flight path angle at cutoff which was somewhere in the 0 to -1 degree range.
Still waiting for SECO-2 data.

From Blue Origin: "We have confirmed payload separation. AST SpaceMobile has confirmed the satellite has powered on. The payload was placed into an off-nominal orbit. We are currently assessing and will update when we have more detailed information."

There is one scheduled from the payload provider

I agree, especially with the latter.

Yes, and an X-ray raises the radiation dose your body has to absorb. But would you refrain from it just because of that, if you had a broken limb?

Do you know if LINK is an acronym and, if yes, what it means?
