It's comparable to a city bus, passing roughly two times

the Moon's distance. No danger, just a cosmic neighbour dropping by.

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

for Artemis has successfully controlled costs but not schedule, raising
7
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.560
questions about NASA's desire to accelerate those efforts. The Sun

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:44.119
has been active lately. We're seeing high magnetic complexity across

to space Tomorrow. SpaceX launches from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California,

00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:02.079
sending up Starlink Internet satellites. The booster will attempt to

00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.439
land back at Vandenburg. Look for the Worm Moon two
