| |    | | (Miguel J. Rodriguez Carrillo/Getty Images) | Hey, Space Fans! Happy Monday and welcome to your daily dose of space from ... well, space. Our top story today is about NASA's Artemis 2 moon mission, which aced a fueling test last week. But now, it's not launching soon at all. Find out why in our report by Mike Wall.
There is some good news from space today, though. We're officially 1 week away from an epic Blood Moon lunar eclipse and SpaceX hit a new record for Falcon 9 reuse. See it all below! | | |   | | (James Abbott) | Before we get deep into the news, here's a deal worth checking out in order to begin your own aerial adventures with the best cheap drones as hand-picked by our drone pilot. It may not be Top Gun, but could help you launch your own awesome flights. | | | | We may not have an Artemis 2 launch to the moon in March, but there is a total lunar eclipse! Here's what you need to know to prepare...it's just one week away. | |  | | (Alan Dyer/VW Pics /Universal Images Group via Getty Images) | The moon isn't the only thing shining bright this week. If you look up tonight, you'll be able to see the Pleiades (and not just on the Subaru logo).

Here's one idea, to make food from mushrooms - but what does it taste like? | | |  | | (International Gemini Observatory/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/Shadow the Scientist) | Scientists have been drooling over recent interstellar comets passing through our solar system, but catching up with such a fast cosmic object is a challenge. Now, one team of scientists think they have a way to do it, and it means getting close to the sun. | | |  | | (SpaceX) | From record-breaking speed to a comet to a different kind of record by SpaceX, we now turn to the trusty Falcon 9 rocket. SpaceX launched a doubleheader over the weekend that included a record-setting flight for its most flown Falcon 9. Here's what happened. | | |  | | (NASA/JPL-Caltech) | NASA's Perseverance rover has found itself, but not in the way you might think.

It was the second to leave us behind after Pioneer 10, but not the first in interstellar space. Anyone know that one? (Cough cough, Voyager 1.)
And with that, we'll call it a wrap for today's space newsletter. Thanks for reading if you made it this far and keep looking up!
