This newsletter contains information about the JWST telescope, Space Force closing down their space debris monitoring system, the NASA VADR venture capital program, mysterious unknown objects blasting energy toward Earth, what SpaceX and the U.S. military are up to, space startups news and fun facts about space.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: As part of our launch process, SKTLs has been actively reaching out and partnering with various space companies and entities. Some of these partnerships are catching traction and are still being developed. With this additional interest from the space industry, we are going to postpone the SKTLs Airdrop so that we can reach more people to have a better critical mass of Space and Crypto enthusiasts as part of our community before launching. As such, the SKTLs Airdrop will happen on Space Day, May 6, 2022 at midnight rather than on January 1. Reaching critical mass before the airdrop will help ensure that the SKTLs token has the best chance of creating real value with liquidity and little volatility for all SKTL holders. Thank you for being a part of this revolutionary concept, process and mission.  Thanks for joining the SKTLs community mission to help create a sustainable space economy. It’s more apparent than ever that we all have an immediate responsibility to protect the planet and help progress human space migration.  The SKTLs family wants to keep you up to date and informed on the development of the space economy, space exploration and space related cryptos. In this newsletter subscribers will find recent news about space, including lots of interesting facts about our new frontier.
