I often tell people that the sky rewards patience. These days, there is more happening up there to wait for. On August 20, the White House issued a new space transportation policy built around one clear goal: letting many more rockets launch and return to Earth than before.

This is a policy document, not a mission announcement, but it points to a future with far busier skies. More launches and reentries mean more schedules to track, more windows worth checking before dusk or dawn, if you enjoy watching for them from where you live in Asia.

For the full details of what the policy covers, read the original report at SpaceNews.
