Rogue black holes could wander the cosmos

Happy Tuesday, space fans.

We hope that your week is off to a good start. Did you catch yesterday's Starship launch? If not, we recommend taking a peek to see the mission launch to orbit for the first time. But just as we come down from one big launch we are counting down to another. This upcoming Thursday (Oct. 1), NASA plans to launch the Crew-13 mission, and the SpaceX rocket and spacecraft that will get the astronaut crew to space are already on the launch pad. Looking at spaceflight way farther into the future, Boeing announced yesterday that they won't be launching their Starliner spacecraft with astronauts again until 2028 (and they have a lot of work to do between now and then). And the latest in the world of strange science, researchers investigating rogue black holes think that they could be holding the secrets of their home galaxies.

And that's it for our space update today!

Hot off the heels of Starship's Flight 14 yesterday morning, we are already in countdown mode for Crew-13. This mission will launch a crew of 4 aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft that will liftoff atop a Falcon 9 rocket. The astronauts onboard will include NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov. Space.com will be reporting from the launch site in Cape Canaveral, Florida, so stay tuned for updates. 

Coming up soon, as we find ourselves on the cusp of October (somehow), we will be celebrating World Space Week. This will be a great opportunity to explore the cutting edge of spaceflight and space science as we look to the future of what's possible on the final frontier.
