Aerospace just set a new responsive-launch record. Its Alpha rocket lifted off from SFB on Thursday just 27 hours after the U.S. Space Force gave the order — less time than on any previous national security mission, demonstrating the "Space Force can rapidly integrate capabilities and will respond to aggression when called to do so on tactically relevant timelines" https://www.space.com/firefly-aerospace-rapid-launch-space-force-success

Wow, it worked! It is working!

5 teams are doing a Capture The Flag contest by hacking an actual satellite in orbit.

Hack-a-Sat 4 is underway.

I haven't said anything about this because I wasn't sure how public the information was, but this article is on @arstechnica, so ...

This is, in my opinion, one of the MOST EXCITING MISSIONS currently under consideration!

The folks working on this want to resurrect a Great Observatory! With a ride-along! And it's so audacious it just MIGHT WORK!

Space Force has already given some money, as the ride to Spitzer will be informative about how the Sun will affect spacecraft. And who knows if they'll get the rest of the mission. Who knows if Spitzer will be able to turn back on in 7 years. Who knows if Spitzer will still operate. Who knows about a lot of things. It's a wild, audacious plan, and I love it.
