Soyuz MS-17 named "Favor" by the crew of Sergei Ryzhikov, Sergei Kud-Sverchkov and Kate Rubins will have liftoff in T-9 hours.

This will most likely be the final Soyuz mission carrying American astronauts and will also use an experimental Express Ascent profile, reaching the ISS in just 3 hours

Hard to tell, nuclear engines are of course radiation hazards by nature and the pussies who run governments for some reason don't want them hurtling through space at half a dozen kilometers per second, ion engines are only workable with solar in the inner solar system so for shots to Mars and further they'll be much slower until powered with small compact nuclear reactors.

You raise a good point. If the "end goal" of evolution is to get as intelligent as possible, then dolphins got fucking unlucky. They sacrificed land and returned to the sea, and unbeknownst to them they kind of fucked themselves.
BUT... evolution does not have an endpoint. You could also argue that dolphins are way better off. They aren't extinct, so returning to the ocean was probably a good thing.

>On 5 May 2020, Reuters reported that the Trump administration was drafting a new international agreement outlining the laws for mining on the Moon.[3] NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine officially announced the Artemis Accords on 15 May will be a series of a bilateral agreements between the nation states in the Artemis program.[4][1]

>The accords outline areas like “safety zones” where work on the Moon is being conducted and where other countries should not interfere.[5] Two researchers writing in Science have called on countries to speak up about their objections, and that the United States should go through the United Nations treaty process in order to negotiate on space mining. They were concerned NASA's bilateral agreements, if accepted by many nations, would enable the U.S. interpretation of international Space law to prevail and make the United States —as the licensing nation for most of commercial space companies—the de facto gatekeeper to the Moon and other bodies in the solar system.[6]

Imagine thinking that the gatekeeper to the moon and solar system is not gravity, but the United States. Imagine thinking that the UN's blessing will be worth anything in the heartless black of space. Imagine thinking that we need to sit at a table with cowards after we have stood on the moon.

To be fair, their new Soyuz-5 rocket is really cool. It’s basically capable of doing everything Soyuz does but as a single stick launcher.
