NASA on Friday shared the reduced crew for its upcoming SpaceX Crew-9 mission to the International Space Station in order to accommodate the return of the stranded astronauts of the Boeing Starliner.
The space agency announced the decision Friday to send only NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov aboard the mission, which will launch no earlier than Sept.

It takes a long time for supermassive black holes, like the one at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, to form. Typically, the birth of a black hole requires a giant star with the mass of at least 50 of our suns to burn out - a process that can take a billion years - and its core to collapse in on itself.
Even so, at only about 10 solar masses, the resulting black hole is a far cry from th

SpaceX cleared to fly Falcon 9 rocket after landing mishap

US regulators on Friday cleared SpaceX to restart launching its stalwart Falcon 9 rocket, as a probe continues into a rare mishap this week during a first-stage booster landing.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded the Falcon 9 rocket on Wednesday after a first-stage booster tipped over and exploded while attempting to land on a droneship off the Florida coast.
The early morning launch was otherwise successful, delivering the latest batch of 21 Starlink internet satellites into orbit.
"The SpaceX Falcon 9 vehicle may return to flight operations while the overall investigation of the anomaly during the Starlink Group 8-6 mission remains open, provided all other license requirements are met," the FAA said in a statement Friday.
A webcast from Elon Musk's company showed the first stage, which normally fires its thrusters to achieve a precise upright landing, tilting and blowing up as it descended onto a droneship off the Florida coast.
Although landing the booster is a secondary objective, and no lives or public property were at risk, the reusability of the entire rocket system is crucial to SpaceX's business model.

Lunar igneous activities, including both intrusive and extrusive magmatism, offer crucial insights into the Moon's interior and its thermal history. These activities are distributed asymmetrically between the Moon's nearside and farside, reflecting the global lunar dichotomy.
