How we decide what to cover¶
Every story we publish passes through a filter:
- Is it aerospace? — If it involves launch, spaceflight, orbital mechanics, or space industry, it's on the table.
- Is it sourced? — We pull from NASA, SpaceFlightNews API, RSS feeds, Wikipedia, and official announcements. No rumors without attribution.
- Does it matter? — A funding round matters. A single tweet doesn't (unless it's from an official channel and affects the industry).
- Does it have a Canadian angle? — Even in our daily broadcasts, we flag Canadian connections.
