Washington (AFP) Aug 2, 2025
Tucked inside President Donald Trump's flagship tax and spending bill last month was a little-noticed provision to relocate the iconic Space Shuttle Discovery from a museum outside Washington to Houston.
The plan now faces legal uncertainty, with the Smithsonian Institution arguing Congress had no authority to give away what it considers private property - even before accounting for the ste

Is SpaceX's Stock Price Affected by Trump's Supportive Politics over Bitcoin?

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 01, 2025
If there are people and trends that are currently shaping the world, it would have to be the new President of the USA, Donald Trump, and his trusted advisor, billionaire inventor and entrepreneur, Elon Musk. Musk's SpaceX company is another big name everyone knows, and so is Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency. But how are they connected, and why do they depend on each other for success and a sa

4D images show heat shield damage goes below the surface

Urbana, IL (SPX) Aug 01, 2025
Rather than completely burning up when a spacecraft reenters Earth's atmosphere, its heat shield's outer surface is sacrificed to protect the rest of the vehicle. The carbon fibers decompose, dissipating the heat. It was assumed that this only happens on the surface, but in a recent study, researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and four othe
