SpaceX launches rocket to return stranded astronauts
The Independent
|March 15, 2025
Following a scrubbed launch on Wednesday, Nasa and SpaceX launched four astronauts to the International Space Station last night.
The Crew-10 mission lifted off from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center on board a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft.
The mission includes Nasa’s Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos’ Kirill Peskov.
“Take two,” McClain wrote in a post on social media before the launch.
Wednesday’s attempt was thwarted by a hydraulic system issue with a ground support clamp arm for the rocket. The issue has reportedly been fixed.
The astronauts’ arrival at the orbiting laboratory is designed clear the way for Crew-9 to return to Earth, including Nasa astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams. The pair have been on board since June.

SEND must be reformed to keep vital service going
Political consensus is an unusually rare commodity these days, but there does seem to be unanimous agreement that the present system for helping children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) needs radical reform. Aspects of the current regime are grotesque, if not cruel, and have inflicted great distress on children, parents, teachers and everyone else involved. It is a major concern at every level of the state.
