 | | Created for ceo.studentlike.spuniv@blogger.com | Web Version | | | | | The Launchpad "The turtles and the nudists will have to migrate," is a key quote from one of our stories for today about the debate around SpaceX's plan for Starship launches from Florida, as Space Coast residents are concerned about the increase in rocket activity. These worries include broken windows and impacts to the local environment, tourism and fishing industries.
Other headlines include a deeper look at interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as it's been seen wrapped in a carbon dioxide fog, a dive into the robot-worshipping cult in 'Foundation' season 3 and Mars's interior being more like rocky road ice cream than smooth brownie batter.
As we head into the weekend we have your weekly staff recommendations of "what we're reading/playing/watching." You'll find those suggestions from our team at the bottom of your newsletter. There's that and more for your daily read. Thanks for exploring with us.
Keep looking up,
