As NASA and SpaceX pivot toward speeding astronauts to Mars, U.S. scientists are testing technologies that could transform the Red Planet into an astonishing New Eden.

SpaceX said Friday it will make another launch attempt next week of the massive Starship rocket—key to CEO Elon Musk's long-term vision of colonizing Mars—after two consecutive in-flight explosions earlier this year.

Unfavorable weather conditions have delayed the SpaceX Dragon's return to Earth from the International Space Station until at least Friday.

It's NASA’s SpaceX 32nd commercial resupply services mission.
