## Resource

NASA’s pulling out all the stops to save the aging Swift telescope — launching a robotic rescue mission this week to haul it out of a dying orbit before it burns up in Earth’s atmosphere. Worth hundreds of millions and vital for catching cosmic explosions, Swift’s been slipping since 2004, and now NASA’s betting on a daring first-of-its-kind American robot built by Katalyst Space Technologies. If successful, Swift could be back online by September — but the clock is ticking, with re-entry looming in October. This isn’t just a rescue; it’s a potential blueprint for future space repairs — and maybe even a future for Hubble too. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
