SpaceX via Twitter SpaceX is set to launch NASA astronauts to the International Space Station for the first time on Saturday afternoon. Poor weather conditions forced NASA and SpaceX to scrap their first liftoff attempt on Wednesday. A successful launch would mark the first time an American-made spacecraft has launched humans from US soil in nearly a decade. The mission could resurrect the US's human spaceflight capabilities and open a new era of commercial space exploration. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. The last time the United States launched humans into space from American soil was in 2011, when the last space shuttle made its final voyage into orbit. Since then, NASA has relied on Russian Soyuz rockets to ferry its astronauts to and from the International Space Station. That has become increasingly expensive and limited US access to the station. That could all change on Saturday afternoon. If weather, hardware, and other factors cooperate, Spa...

FYI: Shutterstock/Cabeca de Marmor Hosting a scavenger hunt over Zoom could be a great way to socialize with friends and family members that you can't see in person. To play the game, each team or player would come up with a list of items to be found by the other players within a given time limit. Once the time limit is up, players must show the items they managed to find, which the judging players must approve before choosing a winner. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

If you're looking for a new way to make Zoom chats feel less mundane - especially now that we've been socializing virtually since March - try holding a virtual scavenger hunt. You don't need to purchase anything you don't already own; the game j...
