Chinese Company Conducts Fifth Sea-Based Rocket Launch
Galactic Energy, a Beijing-based private rocket manufacturer, successfully completed its fifth sea-based launch of the Ceres 1 carrier rocket on Monday. The rocket lifted off at 3:38 pm from a modified deck barge in the Yellow Sea off the coast of Shandong Province, delivering four satellites into a low-Earth orbit approximately 850 kilometers above the planet.
The satellites, developed by Space tourism's growth blurs the line between scientific and symbolic achievement
On April 14, 2025, Blue Origin launched six women - Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyn, Gayle King, Katy Perry, Kerianne Flynn and Lauren Sanchez - on a suborbital journey to the edge of space.
The headlines called it a historic moment for women in space. But as a tourism educator, I paused - not because I questioned their experience, but because I questioned the language. Were they astronauts or sp Second CubeSat joins ESA’s Ramses mission to asteroid Apophis

Streaks on Mars Satellite Data Confirms First Ship-Based Detection of Landslide-Triggered Tsunami
For the first time, scientists have detected a tsunami generated by a landslide using satellite data from a ship's navigation system, marking a significant step forward in early warning technology for coastal communities. The breakthrough, led by researchers from CIRES and the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder), was published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
