The Space Force has called for joint operations of GPS.  This could be the beginning of incredible joint efforts!  Astronomers have found the first asteroid belt outside our solar system!  This could bring big changes to current models.  And China just ended its second secret spaceplane mission.  Where will China go from here?  But first, let's back up a bit.

Welcome to the Undiscovered Country!  This is part of my Space Brief series where I outline the top 5 most important things that are happening in the world of space.  This is not going to be a super polished and super edited presentation, but a short overview of important events including some commentary about why it all matters.  This is not a one-sided presentation, it’s a discussion.  Did I get the stories right?  Did I miss an important consideration?  Join the conversation and let me know!
