Yeah... I actually just looked that up. Apparently, they have to seek approval to allow the rockets to communicate with Earth. SMHFederal Communications Commission?
Back to Ultima Thule for a moment: mission scientists put together a GIF of the last images New Horizons shot after passing it (more info):

I want to see if we could build a Venus rover with modern technology. The idea has been sort of neglected since the Venera program ended and obviously it’s not easy to sustain a machine at 90 atm but there’s still a ton of interesting geological and atmospheric work to be done.
Quite amazing really. I missed the launch and landing by like 5 minutes due to some poor planning on my part but watched the replay and it was like they had done this 100 times over. I've been lucky enough have been invited as media to a few SpaceX launches. Hoping to head down and watch a heavy launch in the very near future.Another spectacular show put on by SpaceX this evening with the Falcon Heavy launch. They landed all three boosters this time. Seems like they get better every launch.

I think NASA is about to do some heavy investing in SpaceX as a client. The years of defense/space contractors milking the government for this type of work is coming to an end. Sadly it looks like it will hurt ULA, who makes their rockets in Decatur, AL, if they can't adapt quickly.
I don't disagree that contractors milk the government. However, if SpaceX is forced to comply with the requirements levied by the government on most programs, their job will become far more difficult.Quite amazing really.
