Volatility saw a new cycle low of 16.09, but then swung upward, settling +2.2% at 16.72. S/t outlook offers equity cooling, with the VIX set to at least test the key 20 threshold.

Meanwhile... (full screen recommended!)
NASA continues to make reasonable progress with the Orion, as part of the SLS program. However, when you consider that SpaceX are re-using their launch vehicles, it makes the SLS program look grossly outdated. see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Launch_System
Reading around, I see many within the industry believe that we'll likely only see 3 or 4 SLS vehicles ever launched, not least once the SpaceX BFR is launching on a regular basis.
