Neat article, and not surprising. Has my interest so gonna follow this as best I can. Thanks for the homework assignment, @ahc LOL.
This is ironic, as, after all, he did produce Devo’s song, “Space Junk”...
Brian Eno calls for space to be protected like Antarctica is

More orbiting debris might make it harder for ufo's to navigate their way thru to come get us. As far as arctic and antarctic, due to polar ice caps melting, russia is starting to militarize the area and using the opening waterways to ship goods etc.... the "share" thought process of the area is rapidly changing and not in a good way...
Thought this was kinda neat. Shortly after the Perseverance rover landed, it started taking pics and caught the smoke from it's Skycrane (technically the descent stage) after it flew off and crashed. We've seen those pics.
A few weeks later, the rover, after moving, spotted the Skycrane wreckage.
Doesn't take much to entertain me LOL.

I was down in flagler Beach last week and saw two spacex falcon 9 launches. One was a day and one was a night launch. Pretty awesome. One was sending up solar panels and rhe other launch was a Sirius xm satellite. I had never seen a launch before, it was pretty amazing.
An animated video of the upcoming SpaceX orbital launch. Cool stuff!
Next up, wood satellites are going to space. Granted, tiny little CubeSats, but still cool.

Geez, I do hope they at least try to land the first orbital test!
Watching spacewalk. This current task will take a few spacewalks, but two older solar panels will be removed and relocated to a new position and two new solar panels, delivered by Spacex recently, will be installed.
Currently removing the first older panel, all bolts removed, held by the robotic arm. But one astronaut is having data-dropouts in his suit. He's in no danger and heading back to the airlock to do a warm-restart on his suit. Ground control is relaying info to him as to what to expect during the re-boot.
Update: Fast reboot. He's heading back to continue working, though ground control saw one spike.
