"However, travel via Space-Available is never guaranteed and, as always, travel is available only on a space-available basis," the release reads.

While the Las Cruces Space Festival has been canceled, the enthusiasm for all things space has not. The children of Las Cruces Public Schools turned in their work to a poster contest, and the quantity and quality of the artwork is testament to the lasting dream of space travel.
The poster selected is by seventh-grade Vista Middle School student Josswe Duarte. It was chosen as the official poster image for the 2020 Las Cruces Space Festival by a public vote. The festival received hundreds of entries from LCPS students, and 12 finalists were selected by the crew from the Challenger Learning Center of Las Cruces. The final images were voted on at the Challenger Learning Center Open House in December and on the festival’s social-media pages.

ULA targeting first launch for the US Space Force this afternoon during pandemic - The Verge
The United Launch Alliance is on track to launch a communications satellite for the US Space Force out of Cape Canaveral, Florida this afternoon — the company's first flight for the newly minted military branch. The flight is happening against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic that has forced other rocket companies to stand down from their missions to space.
For ULA, the pandemic has not stopped the company's ability to move forward with launch preparations, though they did make some adjustments to protect their workers. In early March, before state governments started issuing lockdowns, ULA CEO Tory Bruno said that the company had issued new precautions in response to the outbreak, such as limiting how many people could be in meetings and eliminating all non-essential travel, according to Space News .
Scientists believe women may be better suited for space travel — here's why
But despite those statistics, there's plenty of research showing that, in fact, women may be more suited for space travel. Here's what the science has to say about it.
There's also the issue of how space affects the body. Both men and women experience a series of negative responses to space travel — but those responses can differ based on gender.
"It takes all sorts of people from diverse backgrounds to explore the unknown and to make things that are seemingly impossible, possible," Meir said. "When we all work together, there is no limit to what we can accomplish."
'Cosmos: Possible Worlds' episode 2 will make you think | Space
The second episode of the brand new series of "Cosmos: Possible Worlds" takes us, as the show so often does, from ancient times on Earth through to the very edge of the galaxy. "Cosmos" is always "thinking big," and this episode is no exception — it takes a look at how humans have always been voyagers and explorers, leaving the comfort of native shores to explore.
The Ship of the Imagination, Tyson’s slivery time-and-space-traveling vehicle, then takes us into the distant future, showing our sun enlarging into a red giant — destroying Mercury in the process. At this distant, future point, the episode takes you to survey the outer solar system, "house hunting" for a new home for the human race. Neptune's moon Triton emerges as the ideal place to settle ... for a time.
