Amazon founder Jeff Bezos-owned Blue Origin last week filed a public comment on the Federal Aviation Administration’s plan to evaluate the environmental impact of granting commercial license to Elon Musk-owned SpaceX’s Starship at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida, urging upon the federal agency to set limits on the number of launches. This did not go down well with the Tesla CEO. What Happened: As the FAA works on preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) of SpaceX launches from the base, Blue Origin presented seven considerations for the agency.

Garmin Ltd. (NYSE:GRMN) shares are trading lower after BofA Securities analyst Ronald J. Epstein downgraded the stock to Underperform from Neutral and cut the price target from $165 to $150.

Space is critical to the security of the United States. The US military and intelligence services rely heavily on the functioning of a vast fleet of satellites that orbit the Earth. Without the constant stream of communications the satellites facilitate, the photographs they take, or the targeting data they deliver, the functioning of the military would be crippled and the security of the US compromised. As John F. Plumb, assistant secretary of defense for space policy, puts it, “For the Department of Defense space is essential to how we compete and fight in every domain. It provides us with a missile warning and missile tracking critical to defending our homeland. It provides position na

The Procure Space ETF (NASDAQ:UFO) opened flat Thursday, continuing to consolidate a big break up from a descending channel, which Benzinga pointed out was likely to happen on Oct. 23. The thematic fund, which invests in companies powering the space sector, has gained over 8% since that date. While news of the commercial space industry is often dominated by Elon Musk’s and Jeff Bezos’ aspirations to open the cosmos to tourism and interplanetary human habitation, the sector is of vital importance to life on Earth. It is relied upon by governments for national and global security, for researching, monitoring and evaluating natural disasters and for national and international communication. M

Southwest Iceland is bracing for a volcanic eruption following thousands of earthquakes that have split houses apart and caused large sinkholes to form across the local landscape.

The Israel-Hamas war continued to escalate over the weekend and on Monday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched fresh airstrikes in Gaza, while heeding advice from the Joe Biden Administration to hold off on a ground invasion. Like with all modern wars, including the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, the space industry, which is essential for communication, navigation and imaging is thrown into focus. Looking back, the importance of satellites, in particular, was demonstrated when Tesla, Inc CEO Elon Musk agreed to provide SpaceX Starlink devices to Ukraine, which undoubtedly changed the path of the war, especially for Ukrainians, who depend on the internet for information. With the Is

Space technology has become an integral part of modern life, affecting almost every aspect of society. It is integral to communication, navigation, scientific research, and national security. It’s often taken for granted until major events bring its immense importance into sharp focus. The renewal of violence in the Levant is no exception. In the chaos of the last week, space technologies – and the companies that design, build, and deploy them – have proven to be critical assets for governments, news organizations, and citizens alike.  COMMUNICATION Space technology plays a pivotal role in communication during times of conflict. Satellites orbiting high above the Earth enable the real-

Space ETFs: as a matter of personal interest, but also of topical interest given the recent rise of the commercial space sector (not to mention increasing interest/news around UAP!), I thought it would be worth keeping tabs on the flow of investment (or underinvestment as it turns out) into space-related ETFs. Currently, pure-play space ETFs (which tend to hold more of the NewSpace companies like RocketLab, Virgin Galactic, et al (albeit, do NOT hold the much larger and unlisted/private SpaceX)) — such as US listed ETFs UFO (NASDAQ:UFO), ROKT (NYSE:ROKT), ARKX (BATS:ARKX) and UK listed funds JEDI, YODA, SSIT — account for about 0.01% of all US-listed Equity ETF assets under management.

News has been making the rounds on Tuesday evening about the intelligence officer whistleblower named David Grusch who has come out and claimed that there are UFO/UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering programs nested within DoD and commercial Special Access Programs that have been hidden from Congressional oversight for decades.  Although this may be difficult to believe, the Pentagon cleared the whistleblower’s public comments and he has testified in front of Congress for 11 hours, and his colleagues in the intelligence community are vouching for him personally and have also confirmed that his claims are true.  The original story was posted at the Debrief on Monday and it has now be
