GPS is a pretty critical infrastructure system. Air travel, electricity grids and even cellular communications rely on GPS to some degree.
If there is a custody battle to be had, the Smithsonian has it locked down.
In an interview with CNBC, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said that it would "take some serious time" to repair the damage at Launch Complex 36..."
As you may have heard, rocket science is complicated.
The return to the Moon isn't just a far-fetched fantasy anymore, but a tangible near future.
A booming industry is proving that private enterprise can make serious strides in space, and JPL is looking to find cheaper ways to do what it's always done.
SpaceX likely will quietly settle it for non-trivial (though not mind-blowing) sum and then just keep on doing what it's doing: going fast and breaking stuff.
This one telescope is enabling us to deduce not just the chemical and mineral compositions of distant worlds, but their terrain and features as well.
It's a brave new world for spread science.
One can only hope that he will build a giant toll barrier in the sky, at which the rocket will have to stop and deposit some change before heading to the stars.
The upper stage of a rocket used to launch a lunar lander mission now heading towards the moon, and it's going to crash there at 5,400 miles per hour.

NASA says that is a stepping stone to going to Mars. Really, it might just be the most historic thing our species has done since... well, landing on the Moon.
This is an important step toward enabling other research facilities around Europe to participate in antimatter research.
