In this episode, we cover a flurry of major spaceflight activity from May 10 to May 20, including SpaceX's record-setting Starlink launches, the return of a 1972 Soviet Venus lander, the ESA’s groundbreaking Proba-3 mission, China's growing satellite fleet, the FAA’s greenlight for Starship Flight 9, and the return of Varda's W-3 capsule. We also explore launches by Rocket Lab, ISRO, Galactic Energy, and LandSpace, alongside budget uncertainty for NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Plus, in the first part of the episode, we reflect on the outcomes and lessons from Starship Flight 9.
