NASA has chosen SpaceX's Crew Dragon for its crew rotation missions to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2025. Crew Dragon will fly NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov on the Crew-10 mission in February 2025. The
In a historic moment, SpaceX managed to land its massive Super Heavy booster rocket back at its Texas launch site. This success is a big deal for Elon Musk, often accused of making promises he can't keep. He's been promising reusable rockets to cut costs and make space travel easier, and this landin
NASA and SpaceX are eager to send the Europa Clipper spacecraft toward Jupiter's moon Europa, the launch now set for Monday, October 14, 2024. This $5 billion project has been delayed due to Hurricane Milton, which caused havoc at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The launch window is incredib
Think of trying to grab a giant skyscraper as it falls. That's what SpaceX just did with their Starship rocket! Elon Musk's team pulled off a stunning stunt, catching the massive Super Heavy booster with mechanical arms. This isn't just a cool trick – it's a big step towards making space travel chea
On October 13, 2024, SpaceX achieved a remarkable feat in Boca Chica, Texas. Their massive Starship rocket, standing at nearly 400 feet tall, launched and returned to the launch pad, where mechanical arms caught it. This was no easy task as the previous four attempts ended in destruction. But SpaceX
SpaceX has an exciting new challenge called the Starship test flight. This time, they're trying something extraordinary: grabbing their huge rocket booster right out of the sky! The idea, affectionately nicknamed the "chopstick" method, is all about swiftly reusing rockets. The massive 232-foot-tal
On Sunday morning, SpaceX is attempting something never done before. Around seven minutes after launching from South Texas, the massive Starship rocket's booster will try to return to the launch pad and hover, allowing robotic arms to catch it mid-air. This innovative method aims to quickly reuse th
SpaceX recently got the go-ahead from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its fifth uncrewed test flight of the Starship rocket. The test is set to happen at SpaceX's Starbase facility in Texas. This is a big deal because Starship is the most powerful rocket ever built. The plan is to send
Hurricane Milton, a massive storm that's set to hit Florida, has caused NASA to delay the SpaceX Crew-8 mission's return. This means four astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) have to wait a bit longer to come home. Initially planned for October 7, the mission's return has been pushed
Hurricane Milton has put a wrench in NASA and SpaceX's plans to bring four astronauts back to Earth. The powerful storm forced the agencies to reschedule the Crew-8 mission's undocking from the International Space Station (ISS) from Monday, October 7, to Sunday, October 13. The astronauts—Matthew Do
