Did you know that people from Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, and Muskegon have flown to space multiple times?

On the anniversary of the Apollo 1 tragedy, Michigan remembers the hero native who perished in a pre-launch test in a program that eventually put the first man on the moon.

The Dragon capsule was named "Resilience" by the crew in light of the challenges of 2020.  

This is the first time in almost a decade that the U.S. will be going to space.

It's really happening for two astronauts who have been in space for the past 7 months.

The launch was halted following a booster failure a few minutes after the launch sequence began.

Wait, what? About two years ago, the Mars One project began soliciting candidates to go on a one-way trip to Mars to help prepare the planet for colonization by Earth. There will be 24 selected to head to Mars and begin the process of making the red planet ready for the rest of us to move house. And die, I guess, since there's no return trip even in the planning for this.
