SKTLs Newsletter #34 includes information about South Korea’s first mission to lunar orbit (KPLO), China’s secretive reusable rocket test, an update on extending the lifespan of the ISS, New Shepard’s sixth flight, Rocket Lab’s recent launch for NRO, what was happening on August 5th, 2011 in space, the upcoming Perseid meteor shower, startups in space and fun facts about asteroid Bennu.

ANNOUNCEMENT: This is a call to all SKTL Token holders to please put a little of your SKTL tokens into the pancakeswap Liquidity Pool if you can. It helps provide liquidity for all these new space enthusiasts trying to buy SKTLs. You do risk trading some of your SKTL tokens for BNB if pooled as new SKTL buyers come in. But again, it helps the community to put at least a little bit of your SKTL tokens into a liquidity pool. Thank you. And just a reminder that if you got the airdrop, you could sell your SKTL tokens on pancakeswap. Yes, we literally gave people enough money to (help) pay rent when we did the 100% free airdrop. And guess what — selling your SKTL tokens also provides liquidity for the community. If you’d like help selling your SKTLs (or if you’d like help putting some of your SKTL tokens into the liquidity pool) please email [email protected] and we’ll be happy to set up a time to talk you through it on the phone or over zoom.

Fun facts about space…
Sometimes, during a morning coffee or tea, it’s hard not to become obsessed with the surface and sub-surface of asteroid Bennu. Lucky enough for those of us that have meteor people problems, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft collected samples from asteroid Bennu’s surface in 2020.
It just so happens, asteroid Bennu has had a rough-and-tumble existence since being liberated from its much larger parent asteroid some millions or billions of years ago.
