Just as NASA’s uncrewed Orion spacecraft is about to reach a record distance from Earth for a human-rated spacecraft, the European Space Agency has released some awesome footage showing its recent launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The unusual angle comes via a camera attached to the Orion spacecraft at the top of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

Playing throughSurvivor’sopening doesn’t elicit feelings of disappointment about1313, though....

But you no longer need to choose between them, especially if you carry your iPhone in a wallet case. Whether you choose a folio or a back case card slot, the fewer items you have to keep track of, the better.
