The biggest breaking news this year wasn't some celebrity's wedding, nor was it Daya Bay's power generation success, but instead, it was the successful launch and return of Skyglow.
Everything from the successful launch, to the 25-second congratulatory video, to The New York Times report, and the safe return of Skyglow. Every moment grabbed everyone's attention.
There are plenty of rocket scientists.
But Lu Zhou was probably the only rocket scientist who flew in his own rocket.
Even Elon Musk, who had been called the real-life Iron Man, said he would never fly on his Falcon 9 rocket.
This sensational flight completely changed everyone's opinions regarding aerospace.
2020 was going to be a new aerospace era.
This would revolutionize the aerospace industry.
Interestingly enough, if it wasn't for NASA's news release on Columbia TV, most people wouldn't have known that Skyglow was using an ion thruster propulsion system.
