So the falcon 9 made it into near earth orbit on its way to the international space station yay!!! If you want to see it dock it will happen around 710 eastern time on Sunday Astronauts onboard the ISS will soon be able to grow their own vegetables in space using a specialized system of LED lights. If successful, this will help astronauts not only at the ISS in addition to future long-term missions to Mars and beyond. Sending seeds rather than prepackaged food will not only reduce the cargo sent up to astronauts (which reduces cost). It will also give astronauts better nutrition as well as the relaxation associated with tending the garden. Various high-definition cameras will be sent to the astronauts for the purpose of taking videos of the Earth. It will then be decided which camera(s) is(are) superior and will continue to be used. The most amazing payload being launched today is the Optical Payload for Lasercomm Science (OPALS) system. Communication between the ISS and Earth are done using radio frequencies, but this new system will use lasers
