Shrek 5, everything we know so far

In Shrek, one of the most popular animated movie franchises ever, Mike Myers (the voice behind Shrek) managed to connect as the swamp-dwelling ogre in a way few could have expected.

DreamWorks executive Jeffrey Katzenberg recently spoke about Shrek 5, where the movie would explore Shrek’s origins.

“In the last chapter, we will understand how Shrek came to be in that swamp, when we meet him in the first movie. There is a reason he came to be there, but there is another chapter to the story before that.”

So far no release date for Shrek 5 has yet been disclosed.

SpaceX launches 46 new Starlink satellites into orbit

SpaceX launched its next round of Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit aboard a Falcon 9 rocket, from the Vandenberg Space Force Centre in California.

The Elon Musk-owned private space company plans to add 46 new satellites to its constellation of small satellites around the world in order to allow access to internet.

The Falcon 9 rocket took off with separation from the first stage at about three minutes after lift-off. Afterwards, Falcon 9’s first stage returned to Earth, landing on a drone ship stationed in the Pacific Ocean. The newest additions to SpaceX’s Starlink constellation were later released into low-Earth orbit.

SpaceX has launched more than 2,800 satellites into orbit since its first 60 satellites on May 24, 2019.
