While there was no #Starship launch the #SpaceX webcast contained two unexpected segments, one about a vague plan of a space tourist flight - #Starlink Stargaze system described in https://starlink.com/updates/stargaze and https://breakingdefense.com/2026/01/spacex-unveils-stargaze-space-tracking-system/ and https://smallsatnews.com/2026/02/18/spacex-unveils-stargaze-system-to-revolutionize-space-traffic-management/: apparently there are numerous unlisted satellites in LEO which come so close to the Starlinks that cameras on the latter see them as bright objects. How could those objects have been missed by all space surveillance from the ground?
