The Federal Aviation Administration has reopened the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas, just hours after it announced a 10-day closure that would have grounded all flights to and from the airport. The FAA announced in a social media post on Wednesday that it had lifted the temporary closure of the airspace, saying that there was no threat to commercial aviation and all flights would resume.

NASA is fueling its new moon rocket in one final make-or-break test before sending astronauts on a lunar fly-around. The launch team began loading the 322-foot rocket with super-cold hydrogen and oxygen on Monday. More than 700,000 gallons have to flow into the tanks and remain on board for several hours. The all-day operation will determine when four astronauts can blast off on NASA's first lunar voyage in more than half a century. The only thing missing from the action is the crew. The three Americans and one Canadian remain in quarantine in Houston. They could launch as soon as this coming weekend.
