The film then reversed the trick and zoomed back toward that Chicago couple and into their bodies to show the equally breathtaking world of our insides, down to the molecular and atomic level.

Impulse Space, founded in 2021 by former SpaceX co-founder Tom Mueller, is an up and coming player in the wacky world of space tugs, more professionally known as 'orbital transfer vehicles.' OTVs are satellites designed to carry spaceborn cargo to various orbits.

Redwire focuses on space infrastructure and autonomous systems. The company completed its Edge Autonomy acquisition and reported 50.7% year-over-year revenue growth. Management maintained full-year guidance of $320 to $340 million, and the book-to-bill ratio of 1.25 suggests demand is holding. But the business is bleeding cash with a net loss of $41.2 million in Q3, nearly double the $21 million loss from the prior year. Gross margin sits at just 16.3%, leaving almost no room for error.

The proposed scale of orbital deployment would represent a significant alteration of the natural night-time light environment at a planetary scale.

By the end of the year, Northwood, based in El Segundo, California, had shown the ability to build eight of these Portal arrays a month. And in January the company had deployed operational Portal antennas across two continents. These deployments, which comprise an area of 8 to 15 meters, have the equivalent capability of a 7-meter parabolic dish, said Griffin Cleverly, co-founder and chief technical officer of Northwood.

The International Space Station (ISS) returned to full strength with Saturday's arrival of four new astronauts to replace colleagues who bailed early because of health concerns. SpaceX delivered the US, French and Russian astronauts a day after launching them from Cape Canaveral. Last month's medical evacuation was Nasa's first in 65 years of human spaceflight. One of four astronauts launched by SpaceX last summer suffered what officials described as a serious health issue, prompting their hasty return.
