With all the bad news (much of it seems to be caused by corruption, political correctness, or just sloppyness/incompetence) it's nice to know that some things work.
SpaceX just brought some astronauts back from the ISS.
The four astronauts on the SpaceX Dragon capsule, named Endurance, splashed down late Saturday (March 11), wrapping up a five-month mission to the International Space Station. Returning on the capsule were NASA astronauts Josh Cassada and Nicole Mann, Japan's Koichi Wakata and cosmonaut Anna Kikina of Russia, who splashed down in darkness after streaking over the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Tampa Bay, Florida at 9:02 p.m. EST (0202 GMT on March 12).
The successes in the space race would only be seen as news if something went wrong I guess.

Best comment about this there:
I find this just amazing. This is done with no fanfare, just doing a day job. I am 76 and remember Sputnik and the start of Space explorations. Its a Damn shame that it has taken so long to get where we are. We should have had a permeant base on the Moon, with trips to further points.'
