Blue Origin unveils TeraWave, a global satellite network designed to handle terabits of data center traffic
Blue Origin says TeraWave could transmit data at speeds of up to 6 Tbps, raising questions about competition with Starlink and Amazon Leo.
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin space venture says its proposed 5,408-satellite #TeraWave constellation would offer data speeds of up to 6 terabits per second - but what would this mean for Amazon, which is ramping up its own satellite broadband internet constellation? www.geekwire.com/2026/blue-or...

NASA Astronaut Recruitment Faces Trump’s Moves Against D.E.I. (Gift Article)
The government space agency has vocally promoted diversity and inclusion for decades, even during the first Trump administration.
An important part of our job as NASA Astronauts is to inspire our next generation of space explorers. We can't accomplish that mission if we can only connect with a fraction of the kids in America. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/s...
