SpaceX is scheduled to launch 60 Starlink demonstration satellites on a Falcon 9 this Wednesday without using a traditional dispenser.

While SpaceX, Blue Origin and other rocket providers target reusability, there’s a part of rockets that hasn’t changed very much in recent decades – the fuel.

A new spacecraft has docked with the Space Station, the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule on its maiden voyage, a precursor to astronauts using the spacecraft.
