the Boeing stalina capsule has returned to Earth but its crew will ride a SpaceX spacecraft home in 2025 as many in the space industry acknowledge space travel is inherently challenging yet this has not deterred ambitious innovators Seattle based radian Aerospace is Reviving NASA's abandoned space plane concept from 2001 radian plan involves launching from a rocket powered sled rather than a vertical rocket though this ambitious project faces significant hurdles currently Boeing Starliner future within NASA's commercial crew program is uncertain the spacecraft successfully transported astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunni Williams to the International Space Station in June but the mission extended far beyond the initial 8 days due to issues with star's return capabilities after nearly 3 months in space starina returned to Earth early Saturday Landing in the New Mexico desert without its astronauts this marked the first US capsule to land on Solid Ground rather than in the ocean Wilmore and Williams will remain at the space station until 2025 Steve stick manager of NASA's commercial crew program expressed regret that the mission didn't go as planned with the astronauts on board Boeing Engineers will now evaluate starina to address the issues encountered during its flight and determine the path forward for its certification for crude missions in other news researchers tracking a pregnant poor beagle shark off Cape Cod discovered discovered that a large Predator likely a great white or short fin Marco shark may have eaten the shark turning their study into a scientific mystery that sheds light on shark behavior the Iberian lynx once on the brink of Extinction has seen a comeback thanks to extensive conservation efforts to further protect these lynxes from Road accidents virtual fences with sensors and potential scent corridors are being developed to connect different links populations in planetary science new research suggests that a massive asteroid impact 4 billion years ago may have altered the axis of Jupiter's moon ganam the European space agency's due spacecraft set to arrive in 2031 aims to uncover more about this impact and its effects on ganim's global ocean a small asteroid recently created a visible flash as it burned up over the Philippines in scientific Curiosities researchers have developed a method to make mouse organs visible by temporarily making their skin transparent using a Dy enhancing biomedical research capabilities lastly new discoveries include Cornell University researchers have created robots controlled by King oyster mushrooms recent photos of the Titanic wreck reveal significant Decay and an unexpectedly intact statue an amateur archaeologist in Scotland Unearthed a complex kite-shaped ring from over 1,000 years ago
