A new study makes the case that as funding for university research shifts from government to private firms, entrepreneurship suffers.
Why it matters: The share of research funding to universities from the federal government has declined as private companies make up a bigger proportion of R&D spending. Far from encouraging the development of new companies, the shift may be slowing the pace of valuable innovation.
NASA is planning to re-do a major test of its Space Launch System rocket after the last test didn't go as planned earlier this month.
The big picture: The space agency hopes to launch the first uncrewed flight of the SLS by the end of the year, but having to re-run this test could put that timeline at risk.
