 | | Created for ceo.studentlike.spuniv@blogger.com | Web Version | | | |  | The Launchpad We have a good roundup of stories for your daily read, starting with the US Congress holding a UFO hearing today to 'restore public trust,' which you can watch live via our website. Congressman Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), said that the hearing is intended to compel Congress to reexamine what types of information should be classified and which should be available to the public, mostly when it comes to UAP. Stay tuned as we continue to cover this story.
Other headlines for today include SpaceX test firing its new Super Heavy booster, ISS astronauts comparing robot controls to video games, a new space survival game that uses science to get the details right and NOAA satellites seeing a solar eclipse mere hours before the recent lunar eclipse visible to Earth.
It's Tuesday so we have our weekly Trivia Tuesday: Quiz of the week for you, which is all about literary science fiction! Read and test your knowledge about common book tropes that help make the sci-fi genre what it is.
We have all that and more for your daily read. Thanks for exploring with us.
Keep looking up,
