For anyone who may be confused--yes, SpaceX is launching TWO lunar landers on Wed at 1:11 am ET. They're ridesharing the F9 launch. Otherwise unrelated. Firefly's Blue Ghost (part of NASA's CLPS) and ispace's SMBC x HAKUTO-R with the Resilience lander and Tenacious micro-rover.

No one was hurt by the object, believed to be part of a #launch #rocket. Experts say the frequency of such incidents is increasing as the amount of #debris in orbit around the Earth grows dramatically.

How Space Legislation Fared in the 118th Congress and a Look Ahead
Posted: January 2, 2025 10:46 pm ET | Last Updated: January 2, 2025 11:16 pm ET | Very little space-related legislation passed the 118th Congress and the outlook for the 119th Congress is iffy.

Space Force has cataloged object 60058 / 2024-48D in an orbit near the Moon - it is likely DRO-B, and is in a similar orbit to 59228 / 2024-48A DRO-A. They were launched in March. May be a sign that USSF is upping its game on tracking cislunar objects - which is good news
