NASA faces uncertainty as it awaits Boeing's ability to resolve certification issues plaguing its Starliner spacecraft. After propulsion problems during Starliner's first crewed test flight in June 2024, NASA had to delay the next potential mission to the ISS to 2025. With the spacecraft's certification still incomplete, NASA is questioning if a second test flight will be necessary before regular missions can proceed. As a result, astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore will now return to Earth on SpaceX's Crew Dragon in 2025, instead of the originally planned Starliner-1 mission. NASA's ISS operations will continue uninterrupted with the upcoming Crew-10 mission in February 2025, featuring astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers.
A viral video claiming to show American astronaut Sunita Williams returning safely to Earth after a 127-day space tour is making rounds on social media and X. However, a closer look reveals that the video is from 2012 and shows Williams giving a tour of the International Space Station. Williams is actually still in space and is expected to return to Earth in February 2025. Further investigation reveals that the watermark on the video belongs to "UNILAD Adventure."
A recent DNA study has revealed that Christopher Columbus, the 15th century explorer, was actually a Sephardic Jew from western Europe. After 21 years of investigation, researchers concluded that Columbus's DNA was "compatible" with his being of Jewish origin.

The study also confirms that the remains at Seville Cathedral belong to Columbus, solidifying his final resting place after centuries of debate.
In a historic feat, SpaceX successfully caught its Falcon Heavy booster mid-air using giant mechanical arms after its test flight in Texas. This accomplishment, spearheaded by CEO Elon Musk, marks a crucial step in the company's goal of reusing rockets and cutting costs. With future Starship launches planned for the Space Coast, this revolutionary booster recovery will play a key role in ensuring public safety and advancing the space industry towards the future.
Following the successful completion of a test that saw part of SpaceX's Starship return to its launch pad, the company's goal of creating a fully reusable and quickly deployable rocket has taken a major leap forward. BBC's science correspondent, Pallab Ghosh, delves into the technical challenges of this feat and addresses concerns about the environmental impact of such a rocket. This development comes after a public dispute between Elon Musk and the Federal Aviation Administration over permits and environmental concerns.
