After a Monday, April 17, scrub, SpaceX launched its Starship rocket today at 8:33 a.m. CT in South Texas. The tallest and most powerful rocket ever launched cleared the pad, roared into the sky, and successfully passed through a key moment of heavy aerodynamic stress. The plan was for the Super Heavy booster to separate from the spacecraft. Instead, it began flipping and broke apart midflight.
The rocket possesses about twice the thrust of the Apollo Saturn V, which launched astronauts to the moon in the 1960s and ’70s. Starship, which is considered pivotal to the future of SpaceX, is also crucial for future human space exploration: It’s part of NASA’s Artemis program to land on the moon.

Europe's Juice spacecraft successfully launched to study Jupiter's icy moons
Europe's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) mission successfully launched from the Kourou spaceport in French Guiana, after being delayed by weather. The satellite will travel to Jupiter to study its moons - Callisto, Ganymede and Europa - which scientists believe could potentially host life as they are thought to retain vast reservoirs of liquid water. The mission, which cost €1.6bn, is being carried out by the European Space Agency (ESA) and involves scientists from 10 countries.
Juice called home shortly after coming off the top of the Ariane rocket, and a key milestone was confirmation that the satellite's enormous solar array system had also deployed correctly. The mission is being sent to the largest planet in the Solar System to study its major moons and will carry 10 instruments to do so.
Scientists are intrigued to know whether the moons might host life, as the gravitational squeezing the gas giant exerts on its moons means they potentially have the energy and warmth to drive simple ecosystems - much like the ones that exist around volcanic vents on Earth's ocean floors.

Europe’s Oldest Direct Evidence of Hallucinogenic Drug Use Discovered in Spain
Researchers have found evidence that people were using drugs derived from plants and bushes for hallucinogenic effects in Spain over 3,000 years ago. According to a study published in Scientific Reports, the ancient human civilisations used these substances to induce delirium and hallucinations.
Hair from a burial site in Menorca showed the oldest direct evidence of drug use in Europe, indicating that the substances could have been used during rituals held in a cave called Es Càrritx. Atropine, scopolamine, and ephedrine were detected in the dyed red locks found in the cave, which suggest that shamans controlled the side effects of the drugs.
The substances may have been used as part of rituals held at the Es Càrritx cave, on the south-western side of Menorca. The discovery represents the oldest direct evidence of people taking hallucinogenic drugs in Europe. Researchers suggest the drugs could have been used during rituals held in the cave by shamans who were capable of controlling the side effects of the drugs.
