SpaceX Starship Prototype Fails, Disrupting Air Traffic
On Thursday, SpaceX's latest Starship prototype experienced a catastrophic failure in space, eight minutes after launching from South Texas. The spacecraft, which was carrying mock satellites as its test payload, lost communication with SpaceX mission control, signaling an anomaly in its upper stage. This led to a total loss of the spacecraft, marking a significant setback for the company's Mars ambitions. The failure had an unexpected impact on air traffic. At least 20 comm

US Astronauts Stranded on ISS Share Update on Long Stay and Plans for Return
Two U.S. astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, who have been stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) for months, provided an update on their extended stay. Initially, they were expected to spend just eight days aboard the ISS after arriving in June via Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. However, technical issues with the Starliner’s propulsion system forced NASA to change their return plans, pushing their departure to March 2025 at the earliest. Despite the

Elon Musk Plans to Create a New Town for SpaceX Employees in Texas
Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is looking to add something to his impressive list of achievements: his own company town. After moving his SpaceX operations to Texas due to political reasons, Musk now plans to create a new municipality in the state's coastal South. The town, known as Starbase, is home to a growing number of SpaceX employees, many of whom are pushing to establish it as an official town. Since July, SpaceX employees at the Starbase launch site have begun

"NASA's Dawn Spacecraft Uncovers Secrets of Gullies on Asteroid Vesta"
NASA's Dawn spacecraft, which orbited asteroid Vesta in 2012, captured images of enigmatic gullies on the asteroid's surface, prompting scientists to investigate their origins. A recent study published in the Planetary Science Journal explores the possibility that these gullies were formed by brief liquid flows involving briny water. Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) simulated conditions similar to Vesta's surface using the Dirty Under-vacuum Simul

SpaceX Polaris Dawn Crew to Make History with First-Ever Private Spacewalk
The SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission is poised to achieve a historic milestone with the first-ever spacewalk by non-professional astronauts. Launched from the Kennedy Space Center early Tuesday, the mission led by fintech billionaire Jared Isaacman has reached an unprecedented altitude of 870 miles (1,400 kilometers) — over three times higher than the International Space Station. This ambitious mission ventures into the inner Van Allen radiation belt, a zone known for its high-energy particl
