Met de geslaagde lancering van Crew 9 zullen de twee Starliner-astronauten wellicht opgelucht adem halen. Verder waren er heel wat Chinese lanceringen, alsook een (beetje mislukte) hoptest voor de Chinese Nebula 1. Maar het gebekvecht tussen SpaceX en de FAA loopt als een rode draad ook door deze week in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart. Temeer daar de tweede trap van de Crew 9 Falcon 9 een niet-normale deorbit burn gekend heeft.
