It is the first time since 1995 that a rocket will take off from Australian soil and the first time for NASA launching a commercial rocket.
NASA's rocket will take off from the red dirt at the Arnhem Space Centre outside Nhulunbuy about 10.44pm local time tonight.Those on the ground and in surrounding areas will be able to track the rocket as it makes its way through the skies, just seconds after lift-off until it exits the Earth's atmosphere.Tonight's launch will be the first of three the centre has scheduled with NASA over the next three weeks.

Apologies for my cynicism, but I smell bullshit. Reminds me of the 80s all over again and Reagan’s push for deployment of US nukes on Australian soil. A tad too circumstantial given the current crisis in the Ukrainian and that unfolding over Taiwan. No thanks!

An education revolution is taking hold in remote Arnhem LandIn Australia's Top End, traditional owners are pushing for a cross-cultural education that will help children live between two worlds. It's a battle these communities have fought for decades — and now they're celebrating. No doubt about it, reducing class time to just three days a week will definitely advance Aboriginal education. And let’s not forget the importance of traditional wisdom. So crucial to children in the 21st Century. AD, that is. Not BC. There is no two worlds, there is one world, the capitalist world, children should be taught their heritage but unless all these Aboriginal communities are building their own infrastructure, hospitals, schools and self sustaining cities they are not independent.
