Happy Wednesday space fans,
We are just two days away from SpaceX launching its Starship megarocket on its Flight 15 test flight, in which they will attempt the first-ever double catch with the vehicle. Much farther out into space, NASA is planning its new space telescope called UVEX which will explore some of the most violent, chaotic moments in our cosmic history. And stranger even yet, we take a deep dive into Soviet space history and investigate the possibility of "lost cosmonauts" who may have perished aboard secret Soviet space missions.
Check out what's big in space below?

Rocket Lab has raised the launch cost of its next-gen Neutron rocket by more than 25%, an increase that reflects high demand amid a looming liftoff bottleneck.

At the height of the Cold War, two amateur radio operators alleged they intercepted signals from Soviet cosmonauts who perished during missions that remained secret.

And that's it for our space update today.
Are you counting down to SpaceX's Starship Flight 15 on Friday (Nov. 13) with us? You might have heard so much about Starship that it all blends together, but if this test is successful it will do something no spacecraft has ever accomplished before. With Flight 15, SpaceX is attempting to make the first-ever full recover of a rocket from orbit. While we might have seen SpaceX falcon 9 boosters return and be recovered in the past (still really cool), this will be the first full return of an orbital rocket. This is a major test for the company and its megarocket, and if successful it could drastically change how reusable the future of spaceflight is.
Coming up, we are also looking forward to the public opening of the California Science Center's new air & space center that is housing the space shuttle Endeavor this Friday. Finally, this exhibit will open to the public. The good news? The exhibit and the science center continue to remain free to access. And looking into next week, we are approaching a major milestone for NASA's iconic Voyager mission that we can't wait to tell you all about.
