Latest update is that it is in orbit, which is a good sign (Not sure what the timeline of the mission is though) https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/swift/2026/07/03/mission-to-b...

A really good video about this rocket and its mission by Alexander the Ok: https://youtu.be/Up0LNTMPnjI

Space maintenance feels like something we'll see much more of over the next decade. There are too many valuable satellites to treat them as disposable.

In my circles, "lol" means "laugh out loud" ... but I can see no reason why you would react in that way to this article.

Am I missing something? Can you explain or expand on that comment?
