We're back to start October for a Space Update!

This week on Episode 359:

  • Crew-9 successfully docked with the space station, marking a significant milestone for the Commercial Crew Program as Crew Dragon acts as backup to bring Suni & Butch home in Early 2025
  • Astronomy news | Comet C/2023-A3 Atlas is now visible, with its brightness increasing as it approaches perihelion (best time might be the last two weeks of October!)
  • SpaceX's Starlink is aiding hurricane-affected areas (Hurricane Helene) with free internet services.
  • Starship is assembled for Test Flight 5 and awaiting FAA approval for its fifth test flight.
    • My thoughts on SpaceX & the FAA
  • Heading to NYCC to compete in Veefriends TCG Championship!

Topics:

Crew 9, Starliner drama, Commercial Crew Program, visible comet, Comet a3, Starlink satellites, Hurricane Helene, SpaceX Starship, FAA approval, Mars mission, New York Comic Con, VeeFriends TCG, trading cards, cosplay, space update
