Elon Musk’s successful takeover bid for Twitter has raised concerns about his plans for the social media platform, because of his political views. Historically those views have teetered left and right, but tend to gravitate towards libertarian. His anti-union stance as CEO of electric vehicle maker Tesla has displeased liberals, even if they constitute his best automotive customers.
Objections to The Boring Company, his venture that proposes to build underground transportation networks beneath cities, fall not on ideological grounds but practical ones: some civil engineers just call it pie in the sky.
But there is one skyward thrust of Musk’s sci-tech empire that attracts almost universal praise – the aerospace enterprise SpaceX. The Netflix documentary Return to Space, directed by Oscar winners Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, chronicles the company’s development of a recyclable rocket and its collaboration with NASA to get this country back into human space exploration.

For decades, the public has been fascinated by humans traveling into space. However, with the privatization of space travel that has taken off over the past few years, veteran astronauts have been forced to adapt to the presence of cameras more than ever before.
“It’s not easy to open up your life like that when you’re concentrating on the job at hand,” said Doug Hurley, the NASA astronaut who was one of two co-pilots on the first SpaceX-designed Dragon spacecraft to fly humans into orbit. “The private space industry has really just gone crazy.”
The entertainment industry has entered low-Earth orbit, and it’s poised to stick around, whether astronauts want it there or not. Hurley is among the main subjects of “Return to Space,” the latest space-related Netflix project that reflects the streamer’s ongoing investment in the new space era, and its second produced in...

Discovery and Science Channel’s simulcasted coverage Sunday of the return of the Space X Crew Dragon spacecraft from its two-month stint at the International Space Station was watched by 4.3 million viewers on the cable networks, Discovery said.
The strong numbers completed the networks’ own mission, after their two-hour live coverage of the historic launch on May 30 drew a combined 7.2 million viewers. Both the launch and landing repped the No. 1 telecasts for the day across key demos. Sunday’s coverage drew 3.4M viwers on Discovery and 1.0 million on Science, with the total cracking the top 10 for the day in all of TV in that metric.
Discovery said its networks’ coverage of the SpaceX capsule splashing down – just south of Pensacola on Florida’s Gulf coast, at 2:48 p.m. Et — also fueled 5.6 million social video views on Discovery and 5.5M on Science, ranking them No. 1 and No. 2 on the day.

They’re baaa-ackk. NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken returned safely to Earth after a two-month stay on the space station.
The SpaceX Dragon Capsule splashed down just south of Pensacola on Florida’s Gulf coast at 2:48 Pm Et, marking a successful end to the first successful journey into space by a private company.
NASA is looking forward to the privitization of earth orbit space travel as a way to save money for future trips to the moon and Mars.
“On behalf of the SpaceX and Nasa teams, welcome back to Planet Earth. Thanks for flying SpaceX,” the SpaceX mission control said just after splashdown, which touched the water at an estimated 15 mph.
Recovery vessels are now working to lift the capsule out of the water. The astronauts will then be able to get out and will be checked by a medical staff before being flown to shore.

SpaceX and Nasa’s historic launch of its crewed Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station planned for Wednesday has been postponed because of weather problems.

Launch director Mike Taylor announced the scrub after what amounted to a great practice run, with Nasa astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley already on board the Crew Dragon and liquid oxygen and fuel partially loaded for the first private, commercially built manned spaceflight in U.S. history.
Communications between the spacecraft and mission controls at Kennedy Space Center and at SpaceX in Hawthorne, CA suggested that if the window had been 10 minutes wider, the launch would have been possible. Potential lightning was cited as one of the three weather points that prevented the launch,...

William Shatner is no stranger to odd headlines, whether it’s being banned from Reddit, sharing Twitter feuds, or winning prized horse semen. The 89-year-old Star Trek star is now putting himself forward for a Nasa mission, having previously expressed an interest in accompanying Elon Musk into the stars. Shatner tweeted at Nasa that he’s ready to suit up if necessary, and even included a mocked-up image of himself with the slogan “Launch America.”
Of course, Shatner was more specifically referring to the SpaceX Crew Dragon launch this week, and its journey to the International Space Station, which is currently scheduled to happen on Wednesday, the 27th of May. Nasa astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken are currently down for the mission, so it’s difficult to tell whether the agency will need to take Shatner up on his offer.
