 | | Created for ceo.studentlike.spuniv@blogger.com | Web Version | | | |  | The Launchpad We have made it to the end of the week, but that doesn't mean there isn't news to share, starting with new videos and photos from Starship's historic 10th flight that happened this week. These show the wear and tear of the spacecraft as well as how much power was involved in lifting it up into space.
Other headlines for today include scientists about to unleash a powerful new weapon in the hunt for dark matter, a new exclusive 'Foundation' Season 3 clip that sees a tense face-off and a mouse study showing spaceflight may not be an issue for sperm production.
It's also Friday so as we head into the weekend we have your weekly staff recommendations of "what we're reading/playing/watching." You'll find those suggestions from our team at the bottom of your newsletter and heads up, for this week, we have a lot of 'Alien:Earth' reviews! Thanks for exploring with us.
Keep looking up,
