The static fire test released more than 1,000 tons of thrust, which likely melted the concrete blow the rocket. The melted blobs were then launched into the grassy areas surrounding the site.

Why do some plants grow into large woody shrubs or colossal trees, while others remain small and never produce wood in their stems?

To better understand what drives biological diversity on Earth, scientists have historically looked at genetic differences between species. But this only provides part of the picture. The traits of a particular species are not merely the result of its genes b…

For a company whose whole job is rocketry, SpaceX sure is good at flexing its might — as video of its "Can Crusher" test equipment proves.
