Top TipsAttendees stranded at Burning ManBurning Man's estimated 70K-plus attendees were isolated at the venue known as Black Rock City as rain-closed roads and muddied campgrounds. Attendees were told to shelter in place in the Black Rock Desert and conserve food, water, and fuel after a rainstorm hit the area, forcing officials to halt any entering or leaving of the festival. More than half an inch of rain fell this weekend in parts of northwest Nevada, which includes the area where the Burning Man festival was being held. One death was reported during the event, but officials confirmed the fatality was unrelated to the weather. The organizers planned an orderly exit yesterday, the event's last day, and have so far turned down help from the Nevada National Guard. The annual festival was founded in June 1986 and was first held in Nevada's Black Rock Desert in 1990. It attracts nearly 80K artists, musicians, and activists for a mix of wilderness camping and avant-garde performances. |

NASA Space X mission returnsNASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 landed in the sea off Jacksonville, Florida yesterday, ending their mission after six months at the International Space Station (ISS). The crew undocked from the space station early Sunday to begin the trip home. Crew-6 was made up of NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg, UAE astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev. They completed the agency’s sixth commercial crew rotation mission to the ISS, spending 186 days in orbit. During their stint in space, the Crew-6 astronauts were slated to oversee more than 200 science and tech projects, as well as host the Axiom Mission 2 crew. They also conducted a total of three spacewalks. To date, SpaceX has flown 11 human spaceflight missions. Eight of those missions have been contracted with NASA's Commercial Crew Program, while the other three flew private astronauts. This marked the fourth trip to space and back for the Dragon Endeavour. |
