SpaceX's Crew-1 astronauts returned safely home aboard a Crew Dragon spacecraft on Sunday, May 2, 2021. The four crew members — NASA astronauts Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, together with Soichi Noguchi of Japan's JAXA space agency — splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico after undocking from the International Space Station (ISS) around six hours earlier.
This second crewed mission, plus last week's launch of four other astronauts to the ISS on another Crew Dragon, helps to further establish SpaceX's reputation as a reliable provider of astronaut transportation services, bringing crewed launches and landings back to the U.S. after a decade-long gap following the end of the Space Shuttle program.
To celebrate Crew-1's safe return, we've picked out some of the best photos and footage that tell the story of the successful six-month mission: The Crew-1 astronauts at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida several days before launch. Check it out! |

Your smartphone almost certainly has a highly capable video camera, and because it's always with you, it's really the perfect on-the-move vlogging and video-creation tool. Except it's always going to be let down by the built-in microphone, which has to perform too many different jobs and simply can't be great at them all.
Solving the problem has frustrated me for a while, as very few of the options available are idea. Now, Sennheiser has launched the MKE 400 Mobile Kit, which is designed to bring pro-grade audio recording to videos shot on your phone. Could this really be what I was looking for? I've found out. |

Smartphones are heating up the planet quicker than any other electronic appliance. Their environmental figures are astonishing, and since 2010, their climate footprint has only become worse. Studies estimate greenhouse gas emissions from smartphones will proliferate by an unprecedented 730% every year.
Over the past few years, manufacturers have stepped forward to cut back on smartphones' role in accelerating climate change by, for instance, killing the in-box adapter and reusing metals from recycled devices. However, none of these actions could possibly ever match the positive impact swappable batteries could have had on the planet. |
