Happy Friday! Kenna here with the latest headlines in the world of space news and science. 

It's been a busy day so far, as The Exploration Company's "Mission Possible" Nyx capsule, that was part of SpaceX's Transporter-14 rideshare mission, crashed into the ocean. 

In other news, employees at the National Science Foundation's headquarters were abruptly told to leave the building with no previous warning.

Our other stories to end the week with include the years-long con of an astronaut impersonator, a man in Georgia almost being hit by a blazing fireball, and Star Trek's "Strange New Worlds" season 3 release. 

Thanks for exploring with us. Wishing you all a restful weekend. 

Keep looking up,
