Yes!
This is how all countries should treat the USA’s attempted dominance of the global commons (Earth Orbit) by allowing the FCC to approve spectrum allocation without considering … you know …. everyone else!
Starlink is the #SpaceX cash cow and blocking spectrum harms the business model!

Stunning shots! - China launched a Zhuque-2E Y6 rocket, successfully placing the Spacesail DTC 01 and China Mobile 02 satellites into orbit. The mission marked the 8th flight of LandSpace’s Zhuque-2 series, a cryogenic liquid rocket capable of carrying up to 6 tonnes to low-Earth orbit.
a PhD in systems engineering, and the last crew member has an MD with extensive experience in piloting military helicopters. The lone backup: 4000 hours as a NASA research pilot logging time in 50 different aircraft. So not a bad selection for what amounts to an Earth Orbital test flight.
A short 🧵: I noticed a few folks saying that there is something missing from this photo, and yes, I get it. However, there are two test pilots on this flight, you also have someone with two MS degrees, one in mechanical engineering and another in electrical and computer engineering, plus ...1/

Mr. Issacman likes to say, "We're following the Apollo Playbook." If you are GENUINELY doing that, you'd have two fully working landers. We don't. I would have saved this flight until we had at least one fully functional lander, so we could REALLY test the darn thing, as we did on Apollo 9.
VENUS-JUPITER CONJUNCTION: This is a very good night to look into the sunset. Venus and Jupiter are in conjunction only 1.6 degrees apart--a striking pair in the western evening sky. Georg Klingersberger sends this picture from Kobernaußen, Austria spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload...
