• NASA will pay SpaceX nearly $1 billion to deorbit the International Space Station | Ars Technica
• DutchSatellites on X: “The USDV that SpaceX offered is indeed based off Dragon XL. By leveraging the technology already under development for Dragon XL, SpaceX was able to keep their offer for the USDV relatively cheap. Never mind the boilerplate language about the launch service: it will launch on FH.”

• Andrew Jones on X: ”Wow. This is apparently what was supposed to be a STATIC FIRE TEST today of a Tianlong-3 first stage by China's Space Pioneer. That's catastrophic, not static. Firm was targeting an orbital launch in the coming months.”
• Andrew Jones on X: “Drone footage from the Tianlong-3 static fire test and accidental launch emerges.”
