Second braking manuver successful https://www.asteroidmission.org/?latest-news=nasas-osiris-rex-executes-second-asteroid-approach-maneuver

touchdown rehearsal today, actual thing delayed to next year http://www.hayabusa2.jaxa.jp/en/topics/20181014e_TD/

Spaceship two will be going to space this year, ties with Saudis have been severed for reasons I'm not sure the mods want discussed https://spacenews.com/virgin-galactic-preparing-for-next-phase-of-spaceshiptwo-test-flight-program/

This appears to have been drowned out by the news from Russia https://news.northropgrumman.com/news/releases/stories-20181010

https://spacenews.com/arianespace-assessing-impact-of-crewed-soyuz-failure-on-satellite-launching-variant/ seems like european soyuz is continuing as normal

The Orion spacecraft isnt currently designed for long duration flights, probably better to launch a soyuz on an american or international lv empty if it comes to that, not delta IVh, the next one being launched is at VAFB, it would be dangerous to send that rocket to the ISS from there

this site says separation occurred at 140km, which would put him over the Karman line http://www.americaspace.com/2018/10/11/soyuz-ms-10-crew-lands-safely-in-kazakhstan-following-launch-vehicle-failure/

Did anyone else see a bunch of objects at booster separation, it didn't look like a normal korolev's cross

What's the planned t-0?

A mig-31 has been spotted carrying an unusually large rocket analysts suspect it's an ASAT or orbital launch vehicle (or both) http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/23936/exclusive-russian-mig-31-foxhound-carrying-huge-mystery-missile-emerges-near-moscow
