carrying Starlink Internet satellites. The constellation Leo takes center stage

NASA's approach to managing the development of crude lunar landers

for Artemis has successfully controlled costs but not schedule, raising

8
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:48.000

It'll pass roughly two times the Moon's distance. No threat,

17
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:24.040
just a cosmic passerby. Look for the worm Moon tonight
