    Star Trek: Section 31' review: It isn't classic 'Trek', but the Paramount+ exclusive offers some flashy fun

    I suffered through every agonizing minute of that horrible show. I was hoping that somehow it would get better but, alas, my hope remained unfulfilled.

    SpaceX tests Falcon 9 rocket for next Star satellite fleet launch
