SpaceX's massive Starship on Thursday successfully went to space and reentered Earth's atmosphere for the first time during its third and most ambitious test flight thus far.
Why it matters: The test was a major leap for the vehicle, which is essential for NASA's Artemis program. The flight featured technologies critical for any future manned missions to the moon or beyond.
Advances in critical areas of science and tech in the U.S. hinge on foreign-born scientists and engineers, according to a key report on science and engineering competitiveness published today.
Why it matters: The U.S. isn't the only option for the world's top scientists and engineers. Global competition around AI, computing, biotech and materials science is intensifying as other countries invest heavily in science and engineering research, infrastructure and talent.
