JSR Fundraiser
---------------

The JSR Fundraiser at
https://www.gofundme.com/f/fund-jonathans-space-report-library-transition
has now raised over $100K. I am profoundly moved and grateful for all your
support.

I am looking at several properties in the south of England as possible homes,
but nothing solid (or affordable) yet. I'll keep you all posted.

International Space Station
---------------------------

Expedition 72 continues with Suni Williams (ISS commander), Barry Wilmore, Aleksey Ovchinin, Ivan Vagner, 
Don Pettit, Nick Hague and Aleksandr Gorbunov.

Erratum
--------

The launch date for Starlink 11-4 was wrong in the text of JSR 842, but correct in the table.
