NASA has postponed the opening of a container of material from asteroid Bennu as scientists analyze additional debris collected by the spacecraft. The delay comes as SpaceX, Eutelsat OneWeb, and Amazon Kuiper plan to launch thousands of satellites for internet services, raising concerns about their large carbon footprints compared to land-based alternatives. Meanwhile, NASA tests deep space communications on a six-year asteroid mission, and SpaceX's Falcon Heavy successfully lands its side boosters after launching the Psyche spacecraft. Additionally, NASA hitches a ride with SpaceX to launch an asteroid probe with lasers. The heavy metal journey to a big metal asteroid begins with the Psyche mission, and SpaceX delivers more than 900 metric tons to orbit this year. These developments highlight the growing interest in space exploration and the challenges posed by satellite launches and carbon emissions.

Some in Texas got a view of the second stage of the Falcon 9 last night. It was launched from Florida but moved around the globe and then back over the U.S., where the second stage burn occurred. Pushing the satellites into higher orbit. The small vapor circle was illuminated by… https://t.co/BjjVAejqKo https://t.co/2Ga6GS4tvh
