SpaceX, OneWeb and Amazon to launch thousands more satellites in 2020s
If a handful of space companies succeed, the next decade will see more satellites put into orbit around the Earth than all the satellites launched since Sputnik 1 in 1957.
While SpaceX makes up the lion's share of these plans, together with OneWeb, Telesat and Amazon's Project Kuiper, the four companies have announced the intention to launch as many as 46,100 satellites in the next few years. That's more than five times the amount of objects sent to space in the past 60 years, which numbers just shy of 9,000 according to the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs.
NASA Space Station On-Orbit Status 12 December 2019 - Preparing for Boeing's Orbital Flight Test

NASA and Boeing are proceeding with plans for Boeing's Orbital Flight Test following a full day of briefings and a Flight Readiness Review that took place at the Kennedy Space Center.
SpaceX's Next Resupply Mission Will Deliver Cannabis Into Orbit | Digital Trends
SpaceX has just sent a cargo ship to the International Space Station (ISS) containing everything from supplies and a floating robot to genetically engineered mice. But for its next shipment to the ISS via Dragon capsule, something even more unusual will be on board: A selection of cannabis plants.
The cannabis being sent into orbit is surprisingly not Elon Musk’s personal stash but is rather part of an experiment by agricultural technology company Front Range Biosciences. It’s not for getting the astronauts high as it’s hemp, which is a strain of cannabis with minimal psychoactive effects — instead, it has potential uses as food, as a building material, or even as a biofuel.
Not to change the topic here:
A second black hole at our galaxy's center? | Space | EarthSky
There’s a supermassive black hole – 4 million times our sun’s mass – in the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Astronomers who’ve measured star movements near this central black hole are now saying there might be a 2nd companion black hole near it.

Do supermassive black holes have friends? The nature of galaxy formation suggests that the answer is yes, and in fact, pairs of supermassive black holes should be common in the universe.
Europe is sending a robot to clean up space. Why is the junk there in the first place?
A four-armed robot, developed by Swiss startup ClearSpace, will latch onto debris before diving back down to Earth, where both machine and junk will "burn up in the atmosphere," according to the ESA.
The robot's mission will target a cone-shaped part of an ESA rocket that was left in space in 2013. If all goes well, follow-up missions will target larger objects, before eventually trying to remove multiple pieces of junk at once.
36 African Satellites Orbit Earth. Africa's Space Industry Is Worth $7.3B
Africa’s space industry is enjoying enormous growth, especially in recent years, according to research that forecasts continued growth in the next five years.
The African space market is now worth an estimated $7.3 billion annually and is expected to exceed $10 billion by 2024, according to the African Space Industry Annual Report .
