Oct 18 (Reuters) - Space technology startups are being forced to limit their sky-high ambitions, as their venture-capital backers turn to safer bets due to the current economic turmoil, VC firm Space Capital said. Investments in space technology companies, which collect, process and analyze space-related data, have fallen 80% in the third quarter to about $1 billion from nearly $5 billion in the year-earlier period, Space Capital said in a report. VC investment volume in space companies fell 44%, compared with a broader market decline of 31%, it added. VC firms "are looking to reduce their exposure to capital intensive companies with low or long-term profitability models," Space Capital's managing partner, Chad Anderson, told Reuters. Many investors who explored aerospace last year have backed away, said William Kowalski, co-founder of Atomos Space, which makes spacecraft that help satellites maneuver in space.

The "Falling Back to Sleep" wind down. Some tracks I found distracting, like "Cabin Porch," which featured bird sounds that my mind equates more with waking up. While briefly glancing at a cell phone in order to play an item from Sleep for Headspace likely won't ruin a night of sleep, it invites into the bedroom the temptation to continue scrolling.
