The world, in perspective.

Successful recoveries of both Starship and its booster would have marked a milestone in the space industry's decades-long pursuit of fully reusable rocket systems that can drastically reduce mission costs and make frequent launches possible.

SpaceX launched the 15th flight of its Starship spacecraft from Texas yesterday, on a mission the company hopes will be the first round-trip voyage into orbit and back to the very spot where it left Earth.

SpaceX, het ruimtevaartbedrijf van Elon Musk, is er bij een testvlucht met zijn Starship-raket niet in geslaagd om zoals gepland de eerste rakettrap weer te vangen. Morgen hoopt SpaceX nog wel de tweede rakettrap op te vangen.

SpaceX had planned to catch and later reuse both stages of its biggest rocket for the first time. But the booster exploded over the Gulf of Mexico, while the spacecraft continued into orbit.

SpaceX's attempt to recover its entire Starship back at the launch pad was thwarted when the booster malfunctioned and ended up in the water Friday, but the spacecraft still soared into orbit in its boldest test yet.

Demi Moore plays the meanest fashion maven of all in Boots Riley’s ode to the art of shoplifting.

The upcoming Starship test flight is the most ambitious to date and, if successful, will mark an important milestone in the company's mission to create a truly reusable launch vehicle that dramatically lowers the cost of space launches

Boots Riley’s film cannot be faulted for its ambition, most notably in design

NASA’s Artemis III SLS (Space Launch System) core stage is integrated alongside the twin solid rocket boosters on Oct. 28 inside the Vehicle Assembly Building’s High Bay 3 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Technicians lifted the 212-foot rocket stage from the facility’s High Bay 2 using a one-of-a kind lifting beam designed […]
