Humans have been flinging things into deep space for 50 years now, since the 1972 launch of Pioneer 10. We now have five spacecraft that have either reached the edges of our solar system or are fast approaching it: Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2 and New Horizons.
Most of these probes have defied their expected deaths and are still operating long beyond their original mission plans. So where are they now?
Boom Supersonic is determined to create the planet's fastest airliner with its needle-nosed Overture supersonic plane, and now the sleek craft will be equipped with a brand new turbo-fan propulsion system.
When SpaceX launched its 60th Falcon 9 rocket mission of 2022 before sunrise this week, you can bet photographers were ready for the sight. Here's what they saw.

The most advanced space telescope ever did not disappoint. The launch and subsequent operation of the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb or JWST) is one of the most exciting scientific events in decades. But though this first year of operation is only the beginning for the telescope, it has already contributed to many scientific discoveries.
NASA is looking deeper into the possibility of using a private spacecraft to lift the Hubble Space Telescope to new heights, giving the influential space observatory a new lease on life.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," IDW Publishing will be gifting us a new five-issue comic book miniseries "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Dog of War" in April of 2023 with a particularly valuable Welsh Corgi called Latinum at the core of its fun storyline.
