SpaceX hits milestone in sustainable space travel Another astronomical success in private space travel: Elon Musk's SpaceX docked its first manned mission with a reused rocket and crew module at the International Space Station 250 miles above Earth. The Crew Dragon Endeavour launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida early Friday atop the Falcon 9 booster, safely carrying the four astronauts from three nations to the ISS on a 23-hour journey. SpaceX has reused its craft and boosters before to carry cargo and satellites, but this mission took a giant leap forward with its recycling. Such reuse massively cuts costs, allowing for far more off-Earth travel.

On Thursday, the Scottish First Minister set out a string of key actions her government will take in the first 100 days of the new Holyrood should the Scottish National Party (SNP) win re-election. The omission of any early independence drive in the document was seen as a sign she would not immediately look to call for a new referendum. The country currently gets the bulk of its finances from oil and gas, having a large sector in the North Atlantic and the North Sea, Western Europe's largest oil resources.

On the morning of June 2, 2018, an asteroid was seen careening toward us at 38,000 miles per hour. It was going to impact Earth, and there was nothing anyone could do to stop it. Astronomers were beside themselves with excitement. Five feet long and weighing about the same as an adult African elephant, this space rock posed no threat. But the early detection of this asteroid, only the second to be spotted in space before hitting land, was a good test of our ability to spot larger, more dangerous asteroids. Moreover, it afforded scientists the chance to study the asteroid before its obliteration, quickly narrow down the impact site and obtain some of the most pristine, least weathered meteorite samples around.
