Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Our Space in the Universe, a blog dedicated to space-related news and ideas that I find fascinating. A little about me; I am a Junior in college, I grew up wanting to become an aerospace engineer which is what originally got me into loving space, and I am definitely an amateur blogger. 

What can you expect to find on this page? Well, I am planning on updating this blog with fascinating ideas that intrigue me involving space, advanced technology, ideas, etc. as well as current events. I will try to post at least weekly from here on out. 

To start, I'd like to cover a very recent SpaceX event. On January 19, 2020, SpaceX successfuly tested their "Crew Dragon's launch escape capabilites". (SpaceX, 2020) The purpose of this test is for the safety of the astronauts in the unlikely event of a malfunction during their ascent. The -Dragon capsule successfully demonstrated it's ability to separate, and carry potential passengers to safety during a malfuntion such as this. SpaceX will still need to analyze the data the test yeilded and make improvement to the system based on what they find. But, to me it looked like an extremely successful mission. Below I will post a link to SpaceX's website where they posted the launch video and some more details about the test.
