SpaceX launch today would equal Space Coast record for the year
Tuesday, 17 October 2023 19:19
A planned SpaceX launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Tuesday would mark the Space Coast's 57th launch of the year equaling the record total seen in 2022.
A Falcon 9 with 22 of SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites is slated to lift off from Canaveral's Space Launch Complex 40 at 5:20 p.m. with five backup options from 6:11 p.m. to 8:48 p.m. and six backups on Oct. 18 from 4:55 p.m. to 8:23 p.m.
Space Launch Delta 45's weather squadron forecasts a 95% chance for good conditions, and 90% in the event of a 24-hour delay.
This is the first-stage booster's 16th flight with a planned recovery landing downrange on the droneship Just Read the Instructions in the Atlantic.
For SpaceX it would be the 53rd mission from either Canaveral or Kennedy Space Center this year while United Launch Alliance has flown three times and Relativity Space has flown once. SpaceX is the lone launch provider this year from KSC having flown 11 times while ULA, SpaceX and Relativity combined for what will be 46 launches from Canaveral.

NASA seeks development of universal payload interface
Tuesday, 17 October 2023 10:56
NASA is calling on innovators to help solve some of the challenges in rapidly testing technology payloads across a wide range of commercial flight vehicles and test environments. As NASA explores the unknown in air and space, the agency is making increased use of commercial suborbital vehicles, spacecraft, and lunar landers to help advance new capabilities. However, the process to ensure payload Lucy continues approach to Asteroid Dinkinesh for November 1 encounter
Tuesday, 17 October 2023 10:48
Since NASA's Lucy spacecraft first imaged the asteroid Dinkinesh on Sept. 3, 2023, Lucy has traveled over 33 million miles (54 million km) and is now 4.7 million miles (7.6 million km) away from the small asteroid. However, as Dinkinesh continues on its orbit around the Sun, Lucy still has another almost 16 million miles (25 million km) to travel to its meet-up with the asteroid on Nov. 1. Hypervelocity impact experiments probe the origin of organics on the dwarf planet Ceres

One of the most exciting findings from NASA's Dawn mission is that Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt that lies between Mars and Jupiter, hosts complex organics. The discovery of aliphatic molecules, which consist of carbon and hydrogen chains, in conjunction with evidence that Ceres has abundant water ice and may have been an ocean world, means this dwarf planet might have once harb Simulations of 'backwards time travel' can improve scientific experiments

Physicists have shown that simulating models of hypothetical time travel can solve experimental problems that appear impossible to solve using standard physics.
If gamblers, investors and quantum experimentalists could bend the arrow of time, their advantage would be significantly higher, leading to significantly better outcomes.
