The large robotic arm on the International Space Station stopped functioning this weekend. It's not clear whether the problem is temporary. No official comment from NASA yet.

It is poetic that Starship reached orbit 18 years, to the date, after the Falcon 1 rocket. 'Orbit Day' should be a perpetual holiday at the company.

Marc Garneau was a rare politician. He came to the House of Commons as a Canadian space hero and never deviated from setting an example of competence, non-partisanship and exemplary leadership. On a personal level, he was warm, engaging and unusually down to earth. We have lost an inspiring, insightful and compassionate Canadian.

Today, a report revealed that Doug Ford’s plan for a private spa at Ontario Place, and to rip the Science Centre out of Flemingdon Park, will lead to even more traffic chaos on Toronto’s waterfront. If Ford calls a snap election, let’s take a stand and fight for our city.

I spoke with Jeff Bezos on the eve of his company's first orbital launch attempt. He was both affable ... and anxious.

I recently spoke with outgoing NASA Administrator Bill Nelson about the future of Artemis, the selection of Starship HLS just before he was sworn in, and his relationship with Elon Musk.

Fife gets another scoop. Looks like the reign of Trudeau II is coming to an end this week, in some fashion.

What if Doug Ford is his own — and Ontario’s — worst economic enemy? What if, instead of the incoming U.S. president, it is the long-serving Ontario premier who is the problem? Thursday's column online now: thestar.com/politics/politic…
