The European Space Agency has signed a deal with Airbus and Voyager Space to secure its next home in orbit.
The two companies are currently developing Starlab, a planned replacement for the International Space Station (ISS), set to retire in 2030.
Under the agreement, ESA will assess how the Starlab space station could be used to provide continued access to space for Europe after the retirement of the ISS.

Back when I was writing on @boingbot, I'd slam out 10-15 blog posts every day, short hits that served as signpost and public notebook, but I rarely got into longer analysis of the sort I do daily now on Pluralistic.
