A Quilty Space report estimates that rocket supply outside China will fall about 150 launches short of demand through 2030. The shortage could be twice as large if U.S. military needs are included and SpaceX does not extend its Falcon rocket program; the report says the crunch may persist into the late 2030s.
Key Facts
Quilty Space estimates a shortfall of about 150 launches between now and 2030, compared with demand from satellite operators and civil space agencies.
Including U.S. military demand could double the projected shortfall if SpaceX does not expand Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy service.
The report expects the shortage to become most acute in 2028, then slowly ease.
Factors include the loss of Russian rockets from Western markets, rising satellite demand, and delays to new rockets such as New Glenn, Vulcan, Neutron, Terran R, and Nova.
Quilty Space says SpaceX has been winding down Falcon 9 commercial service and has not recently affirmed Starship as a commercial launcher.
Starship could add substantial launch capacity, but its current narrow satellite dispenser may limit which customer spacecraft it can carry.
Telesat CEO Dan Goldberg said the company may consider Starship if its next-generation satellites fit the vehicle’s dispenser.
Quilty Space forecast eight New Glenn launches in 2028, 12 in 2029, and 16 in 2030.

NASA researchers identified Teghaza 001, a meteorite found in Mali’s Sahara Desert in 2022, as a roughly 4.1-billion-year-old piece of Mars. Its minerals and evidence of ancient water offer clues about how the planet’s crust formed and changed.
Key Facts
The nearly two-pound meteorite was named Teghaza 001 after the salt plain where it was found.
Researchers used its chemical and mineral composition to identify it as Martian.
NASA said it is among the three oldest Martian meteorites discovered on Earth.
The rock contains volcanic minerals, including zircon crystals, that match observations of Mars’ southern highlands.
An age-dating method analyzed individual mineral grains in a sample smaller than a fingernail.
The analysis found that Martian water altered the rock about 4.1 billion years ago, though the rock itself may have formed earlier.
Researchers said the findings suggest early Mars may have had a more active water cycle than previously thought.

Australian lawmakers and legal experts have warned that changing copyright rules to let AI companies use protected material could raise constitutional questions and lead to compensation claims. No proposal has been released, and the potential legal consequences would depend on how any law is drafted.
Key Facts
Australia is considering AI-related reforms that may include changes to copyright law.
Some AI companies have sought weaker copyright rules to use Australian material to train their systems.
Anthropic has proposed an opt-out approach, under which content could be used unless rights holders take steps to block it.
Nationals senator Ross Cadell said such a model could raise a question under the Constitution’s requirement for property acquisitions to occur on just terms.
University of Sydney legal expert Anne Twomey said the issue is complex and that a change reducing copyright holders’ rights could potentially raise constitutional concerns.
Twomey said global rights holders might have grounds to take legal action in Australia if rules allowed AI training on international data.
The attorney general’s department said it was closely aware of the issue, while the government pledged meaningful control and fair compensation for creatives.
The government has not released a legislative proposal, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said creatives should be protected and paid for their work.

The article argues that AI can help construction firms by automating tasks such as checking worker hours, locations, job codes and required breaks. It says this could reduce payroll errors and administrative work without replacing payroll staff, while noting that construction faces labor shortages and still relies on paper time sheets.
Key Facts
The Construction Industry Institute estimates labor makes up 30% to 50% of construction project spending.
The article says nearly four in 10 contractors still record work hours on paper time sheets.
A 2026 CBIZ survey found that labor shortages and rising wages were the top concern for 32% of contractors.
Associated Builders and Contractors estimates the construction industry is short about 349,000 workers, a gap it projects will reach 456,000 by 2027.
The author describes payroll staff collecting hours by text, entering them into spreadsheets and checking rates and cost codes.
