The first US moon landing mission in more than 50 years met a fiery end on the wrong celestial body. However, its story is nevertheless inspiring, and data acquired along the way is invaluable.
The November test flight of SpaceX's Starship rocket, although successful, ended in flames. Much was speculated on social media about the cause, but only now we finally know what actually happened.
Jeff Bezos is one happy man after his competitor, ULA, reached orbit with its brand new Vulcan rocket, powered by Blue Origin's engines. It gives him hope to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink.
Although NASA is often blamed for being too slow and cautious, it has been developing cutting-edge space tech for decades. However, its approach sometimes turns out to be simply outdated.
In a rather unfortunate turn of events, SpaceX has lost the F9 booster B1058 during the ride back home from its record-breaking 19th mission. Only remnants of the workhorse arrived in Florida.
We have quite a lot of launches this week. Aside from more attempts by NASA to launch the SLS, several companies and countries are planning to launch various satellites into orbit.
Following the Launch Readiness Review, NASA and SpaceX have given the Crew Dragon launch atop the Falcon 9 rocket a go-ahead. However, the weather will still prove to be an important consideration.
