For @BW I did a check in on SpaceX and Blue Origin's plans for landing humans on the moon for NASA. They both rely on launching multiple refueling flights to fill up a spacecraft -- either a depot or a tug - in Earth orbit to fuel their landers. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

#NASAWebb mapped the weather on an exoplanet 280 light-years away, where it’s cloudy on the nightside and clear on the dayside—with equatorial winds howling around the planet at 5,000 miles per hour. (1/6) 🧵
A jettisoned solar array from the Hubble Space Telescope falls away from space shuttle Endeavour during the first Hubble servicing mission STS-61 on December 7, 1993. Exhaust from the orbiter caused the flexible panels to flap "like a giant soaring bird over the desert."
