SpaceX Crew Dragon docks with space station
A SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule caught up with the International Space Station early Saturday and glided in for a picture-perfect docking, bringing four fresh astronauts to the outpost and setting the stage for four others to return to Earth next week aboard a second SpaceX ferry ship.

Imagine the hypocrisy of a government who will allow businesses to card people to get a job or buy groceries, but won't card people to vote in elections and gives millions of non-citizens free money from taxpayers.

NASA Hopes to Fly Plane on Mars Amid Ingenuity Helicopter's Success
Development of some kind of Mars plane has been continuing for several years with the hopes such a vehicle could collect atmospheric data or visual information. NASA experts provided more details in an Ask Me Anything session posted on Reddit, Monday.
David Berger, STEM Engagement Embed to Aeronautics at NASA's headquarters, confirmed it is possible to fly a plane on Mars, and that it would face similar challenges as Ingenuity.
Berger said: "There have been many airplane studies both within and outside of NASA. The NASA ARES Mars Airplane is one example and led to a high altitude flight test here on Earth. NASA Interns are working on a Mars glider concept."

Mars helicopter fails to take off on fourth test flight
The same sort of software glitch that delayed the Ingenuity Mars helicopter's first flight earlier this month cropped up again Thursday, preventing the small drone from taking off on its fourth test flight. The $80 million helicopter is healthy, officials said, and another attempt to get the flight off is planned for Friday.

Space Force scientist warns US military must use 'human augmentation'
Combining humans with machines to create superhuman intelligence may soon no longer be the plot of science-fiction films, as the US Space Force's chief scientist say it will happen in 'the coming decade.'
Dr. Joel Mozer, speaking at an event at the Airforce Research Laboratory Wednesday, announced we are entering the age of 'human augmentation,' which is crucial to the US's national defense in order to not 'fall behind our strategic competitors.'
