If you saw a mysterious " parabola of light " across the North Carolina sky three weeks ago, it was likely due to SpaceX's recent Falcon 9 rocket launch.
The Falcon 9 is a two-stage rocket designed by SpaceX for the "reliable and cost-efficient transport" of satellites, and is one of many space ventures the company is currently working on.
More recently, SpaceX tested a prototype of its Starship named SN11, a rocket intended to take people to Mars, and it managed to reach an altitude of 6.2 miles before exploding into bits and pieces of metal debris in mid-air. This was the fourth high-altitude test for Starship.
Intergalactic drama 'Voyagers' squeezes the joy out of space travel - StarTribune.com
Burger is probably going for an intense contrast, since things do get heated in the final half-hour, but the first 70 minutes of "Voyagers" are so devoid of humor, passion and spontaneity, it's difficult to engage with the characters. It's not just that there are no jokes; it doesn't seem like these people — "bred" specifically for the mission so they won't miss concepts such as "family" or "love" — even know what a joke is.
There are no laser battles or space chase scenes in "Voyagers"; the enemy is within, so everyone glowers a lot. To spice things up, Burger introduces the possibility of an alien intruder, as well as a romantic triangle, but not with much conviction. (It doesn't help that the performers always seem to be enacting behavior written for actors a decade older.)

Did Astronaut Scott Kelly's Heart Shrink From Space Travel? | Snopes.com
In spring 2021, news headlines claimed that American astronaut Scott Kelly's heart shrank in mass by more than one-quarter when he spent about one year on the International Space Station in 2015 and 2016.
Using the journal's website, we determined the research to be authentic. We obtained a copy of the study's summary, titled " Cardiac Effects of Repeated Weightlessness During Extreme During Swimming Compared With Spaceflight," which was published on March 29, 2021, and explained the key findings of the research project attempting to determine the effect of Earth's gravitational pull on the human cardiovascular system.
Symposium 365 Digital Platform To Feature Space Technology Innovation Panel and Conversation With
As human spaceflight expands into the private sector, we must consider the health needs of the astronauts on these future missions. Join featured speakers Joseph Urso, founder and CEO of ActivePure Technologies, and Alan Mittelman, president and CEO of Eagle Eyes Optics, to learn more about space technology innovations that were developed into commercial products and now may play a pivotal role in next-generation space travel.
Every year, Space Foundation hosts a celebration of the first human spaceflight by Yuri Gagarin to spotlight the importance of investing in the future of space. This year, Yuri's Night is an interactive "choose your own adventure" virtual event. Attendance is pay-as-you-can, and registration is required. Proceeds benefit Space Foundation's education programs.
How Direct Fusion Drive Works: Fusion & Interstellar Space Travel
Scientists have outlined the wild way humans could travel past Neptune in under 10 years—with over 1.5 tons of cargo on board.
To travel to the outer border of the solar system, the DFD engine goes through three phases of propulsion. Phase one is the spiral departure phase, where the craft is launched from low-Earth orbit and accumulates velocity in order to exit Earth’s sphere of influence. That’s, of course, after being launched from the surface in one way or the other.
