NY Times Rides in Waymo Robotaxis in SF
Reminds me that SpaceX has now landed rocket boosters successfully over 200 times. Landing just a single rocket was huge news a few years ago.
The US is launching things into space about 20 times as frequently compared to 10 years ago [1]. Now, most rocket launches don't make mainstream news—I only keep up with things by subscribing to a niche newsletter [2].

Jeff Bezos announces $3.4B NASA contract to land astronauts on lunar surface
NASA needs multiple lander options; putting all their cards on a lunar Starship landing was always a bit ridiculous, even if it seems reasonably likely to happen. So if you want the Artemis program to actually happen, this is likely a good thing. However, with congress in a deadlock around the debt ceiling, and SLS costing $4B per launch, this is only going to add to Artemis's serious funding challenges.
If you're interested in the space industry in general, I'll cover this more next week in the weekly Orbital Index newsletter (https://orbitalindex.com) which I co-author with blach.

Open Source Mission Control Software from NASA
OpenMCT is great if ALL you want is to do is look at Telemetry. But good luck if you want to send a commamd to a vehicle. I think YAMCS is much better solution: https://github.com/yamcs/yamcs
Yamcs has got a builder for displays, client APIs, etc. Almost everything you'll ever need.
What are some alternatives?
illumos-gate - An open-source Unix operating system
Open MCT - A web based mission control framework.
orbiter - Open-source repository of Orbiter Space Flight Simulator
r2cloud - Decode satellite signals on Raspberry PI or any other 64-bit CPU.
jmc - Repository for OpenJDK Mission Control, a production time profiling and diagnostics tools suite. https://openjdk.org/projects/jmc
Torque3D - MIT Licensed Open Source version of Torque 3D from GarageGames
celestiary - Astronomical simulator of solar system and local stars
satellite-js - Modular set of functions for SGP4 and SDP4 propagation of TLEs.
cosmicos - Sending the lambda calculus into deep space
awesome-security-newsletters - Periodic cyber security newsletters that capture the latest news, summaries of conference talks, research, best practices, tools, events, vulnerabilities, and analysis of trending threats and attacks
gr-satellites - GNU Radio decoder for Amateur satellites
