NASA Begins Plans To Crash The International Space Station Into The Ocean

Ten days, it is often said, is a long time in politics. And for SpaceX, it is also a long time in Falcon 9 flight operations, as the Hawthorne, Calif.-headquartered launch services provider prepares to resume missions later tonight with its fourth large commercial geostationary communications satellite of the year from the Space Coast and the 44th large Starlink batch from Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., bringing to more than 980 the total number of these flat-packed internet communications satellites orbited since January.

A decommissioned Russian satellite has broken apart, creating dangerous space debris in low-Earth orbit, according to US Space Command. The satellite, RESURS-P1, appears to have created “over 100 pieces of trackable debris,” the US agency said on Thursday. The disruption briefly caused the crew onboard the International Space Station to take shelter for about an hour, NASA added.

Los Angeles, CA

Nope, that wasn’t aliens, it maybe was fireworks and it probably wasn’t lightning: If you see a strange streak of light ascending in the night sky above Los Angeles, there’s a good chance you’ve just encountered a rocket launch—most likely a bundle of satellites bound for orbit on a reusable SpaceX rocket.

Here’s how to watch and keep up with SpaceX rocket launches in L.A.

It takes a lot of speed to get to orbit. So you might as well steal some!

Why Do Most Rockets Launch From Close To The Equator?

But SpaceX may have even more ambitious plans for a second launch pad right next door: Space Launch Complex (SLC)-37 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS). At a series of public meetings held in March, the public was invited to comment on plans to launch Starship from SLC-37 up to 76 times per year. That would mean SpaceX aims to launch its next-gen rocket up to 120 times per year within a six-mile area on the Florida coast.
