Boeing carries NASA astronauts to orbit in ‘milestone’ Starliner flight
The long-awaited flight of the vehicle is the latest step in NASA’s efforts to rely more heavily on the private sector for its human spaceflight program.Kenneth Chang (The Japan Times)
OKAY EVERYONE, we are about an hour from launch of Boeing Starliner CFT. Everything is going well so far, weather is 90% go.
If you recall, the last launch on June 1 was scrubbed at T-3:50 because of a ground systems issue
Please cross your fingers 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

"How it started/how it's going," space edition:
On March 17, 2013 a flash appeared on the Moon. It was bright enough to see with the naked eye.
Now we can see the result: a new 18-meter-wide crater, blasted out by a watermelon-size meteoroid.

After years of searching, astronomers have finally detected an atmosphere on a rocky planet around another star.
But what a strange planet it is! 55 Cancri e seems to be blanketed in carbon dioxide gas bubbling out of a global ocean of lava. Like an image out of Dante's Inferno.

How NASA Tracked the Most Intense Solar Storm in Decades - NASA Science
During the first full week of May, a barrage of large solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) launched clouds of charged particles and magnetic fields toward Earth, creating the strongest solar storm to reach Earth in two decades — and possibl…science.nasa.gov
"The sun produced its biggest flare in nearly two decades Tuesday, just days after severe solar storms pummeled Earth and created dazzling northern lights in unaccustomed places."
AP reports: "The good news is that Earth should be out of the line of fire this time because the flare erupted on a part of the sun rotating away from Earth."

Object that slammed into Florida home was indeed space junk from ISS, NASA confirms

I'm in central Florida and was gonna be on the beach at 10:30 to watch NASA launch the newest spacecraft for carrying humans, the Boeing (eeek!) Starliner. I made sure to check the website before heading out. I do like that the NASA site gave me this immediate info front and center. I find it funny that they state officially that the launch is "scrubbed" — my friend had never heard that word used in this context. It is odd, isn't it? Kinda only used for rocket launches?
