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, 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

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
