The space industry is way more active and exciting than most people realize!
There's around 5 rockets launching payloads to orbit each week, and a minimum of 10 people living in space at all times, between the 2 active space stations.
There are dozens of companies working on new rocket technologies, many of them reusable.
There are half a dozen private space stations in development, some being space hotels for earthlings to visit on vacation.
