MIAMI, Florida – The mysterious explosion of a SpaceX rocket last month took an odd turn with a “cordial” encounter between staff of Elon Musk’s firm and fierce rival United Launch Alliance over a mysterious glow on a ULA building nearby during the blast, The Washington Post reported.
Israel will face a significant shortage of communication satellites in coming years due to the destruction of the Amos-6 satellite in an explosion earlier this month, officials from the country’s space program told a Knesset panel on Sunday.
The explosion at the Florida launch site that inflicted irreparable damage on the Israeli “Amos 6” satellite prevented the launch of the satellite last Saturday, on Shabbat.
