It’s time for some rocket launches.

Two in 15 minutes, to be specific. Today (July 25), Arianespace, the European rocketmaker, plans to fly four satellites into space from its launch site in French Guyana. Minutes later, SpaceX, Elon Musk’s space company, will launch eight satellites from Vandenberg Air Force base in California.
