🌌 About Orbital Dispatch
Who this site is for, who runs it, and how to get the most from it.
Who I Am
Hi, I am Marcus Knapman, the creator of Orbital Dispatch. I run this project independently and publish science content in plain English, with clarity and accuracy as the priority.
My full-time business is Exmoorweb, where I build and maintain websites professionally. If you want the full background, you can read more on my About page.
What This Website Is For
This website is the home for my space and science channel. It is designed to help you quickly find recent videos, browse major headlines, and understand the bigger picture behind current discoveries and missions.
If you are short on time, think of this site as your practical, no-hype briefing hub for space and science updates.
