@planet4589 : "When I was a kid 🧒, it was #LEO. Now, the frontier is out near the #asteroid belt, and the #Moon and #Mars are becoming part of where humanity just hangs out, maybe not yet as people, but with #robots. Meanwhile, #LEO is so normalized that it doesn’t take a #SpaceAgency to deal with it. You just call #SpaceX. Thousand years from now, perhaps more people live off Earth 🌌 than on it" cearkadia.edu.pl/jonathan-mcdo

🇦🇺 The news will put pressure on the #Australian #SpaceAgency to grant it the crucial permit it had been hoping to receive six months ago ⌛.
Founder Adam Gilmour has been hugely critical of the Space Agency’s handling of the situation, arguing the pushback was “more them than us” and even suggesting that officials were concerned that its #Eris launch vehicle could hit a passing ship 🚢 spaceconnectonline.com.au/laun

🇮🇳 #India's #SpaceAgency expects a 20%-30% increase 📈 in its budget (currently $1.55 billion 💵) in the coming years. Their rocket launch 🚀 prices are on a par with #SpaceX's. #NASA's approved budget stands at $25 billion 💰. The Indian government estimates its share of the market is currently just $8 billion, but it is aiming to increase 📈 that to $44 billion over the next decade reuters.com/world/india/indias

It’s unlikely a Harris administration would make revolutionary new moves on #space 🌌 beyond pressing ahead with #Artemis. If Harris continues the Biden administration’s policy, it’s unlikely the #SpaceAgency would see a significant boost in funding 💰. Overall, #SpaceExperts are expecting more of the same if Harris takes office. politico.eu/article/kamala-har

devcodef1.comJAXA's Successful Lunar Mission: SLIM Landing on the MoonJapan's space agency, JAXA, announced successful landing of the SLIM (SmartLanderInvestigatingMoon) spacecraft on the Moon. However, the spacecraft, which cost 121 million dollars and was launched with the XRISM observatory in September, is not generating electricity yet due to its orientation. The Japanese have officially become the fifth country in the world to reach the Moon. Before the lunar landing, the spacecraft released two small robots, named Lunar Excursion Vehicles (LEV), to capture images of the lunar surface. SLIM was designed to function in low power mode and is expected to operate in the area near a 270-meter crater called Shioli, in the Mare Nectaris region of the Moon.
