SpaceX's Next-Gen Starlink Satellites Now Transmitting Data

What's more, the upgraded internet satellites appear to be fainter than their predecessors, which could lead to a less disruptive view of the night skies.

The billionaire rocketmen: Branson's spaceplanes take on Musk and Bezos in race to orbit

Space launches that take off from a runway are cheaper, but are they the future of spaceflight?
20 January 2021 • 6:00am
About 35,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean, 100 miles out from Los Angeles, the rocket's break-up was easily visible on weather radar: a bright fan of debris, spreading out like scattered salt.
It was not an auspicious debut for Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne rocket system, first imagined in 2007 and a centrepiece of Richard Branson's space flight dreams. But it was far better than the tragedies felt by its sister company, Virgin Galactic, whose space programme suffered three deaths in an accidental explosion at a contractor's facility in 2007, and one more when its SpaceshipTwo vehicle disintegrated above the Mojave Desert in 2014.
