Weather Channel meteorologist Jacqui Jeras told Newsweek that there is currently a 50 percent chance that the weather on Saturday will violate the criteria for a safe launch. The Crew Dragon Demo-2 mission will see NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Doug Hurley fly to the International Space Station aboard SpaceX’s next-generation crew capsule. “Weather may once again be the deciding factor if the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch on Saturday....

So, is this progress? Back in the dear dead days of the civil-rights movement, poor Kramer was discomfited when college students told him his movie was out of date because interracial love was no problem for them. But in early 1967 16 states still had laws against miscegenation, and the Ku Klux Klan picketed theaters showing the film. Cyrus is more honest than those ’60s students: interracial love is still an H-bomb for many Americans of every color....

The Silverdome lets in 10 to 15 percent of normal sunlight, most of it the far-red part of the spectrum. These long wavelengths elongate plant cells: the cell walls thin, and the blades become spindly and vulnerable to injury. In a warehouse, researchers tested grass varieties, synthetic chemicals and lighting schemes. “I had people living there 24 hours a day,” says agronomist John Rogers.

We’ve gone hands-on with the latest Sphero and a beta version of the linked app, so find out what we thought in our Sphero Spider-Man review....

After a string of big releases taking advantage of lucrative properties like Star Wars, Cars, and Spider-Man, Sphero is going back to its roots with the Bolt, which packs in new tech and a renewed focus on education – though it’s undeniably still a toy at heart. Here’s what we think. Price and availability That’s undeniably a lot for a toy, so it’s really only worth it if you expect your kid – or yourself – to get long-term use out of it, which means really engaging with the educational coding side of the device....

The PSP on the Outside While Sony’s PlayStation Portable was the most powerful handheld game console at its launch, it was also the largest and heaviest. It’s still one of the nicest looking, though, with a sleek, rounded industrial design aesthetic. The button configuration matches that of its big brother, the PlayStation 2, except the PSP only has one shoulder button on each side and has only a single analog nub instead of the PS2’s dual sticks....
