NASA says crew replacement on the International Space Station will be delayed following the failure of a Russian Soyuz capsule in a ground test. Russian technicians overpressurized the Soyuz vehicle causing a split in welds on the descent module that brings the space crew back to Earth, Michael Suffredini, NASAs program manager for the space station, told The Washington Post Thursday.

Life could not exist on the surface of Mars because the planet has been in a super-drought lasting 600 million years, British researchers say.

Their three-year analysis suggests the Martian surface has been dry for such a lon
