CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Americans prefer a space program that focuses on tracking potential asteroid threats to Earth. That’s according to a poll released Thursday by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, one month before the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. The results come as the White House pushes to return astronauts to the moon. But only about a quarter of Americans said exploration of the moon or Mars by astronauts should be among the country’s highest priorities.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The human delivery driver may soon become a relic of the past. Domino’s plans to start delivering pizzas via an autonomous robot in Houston. The world’s biggest pizza company is teaming up with robotics company Nuro. How will this high tech pizza delivery service work? Well, once Domino’s customers in Houston place their order, they can track their driverless vehicle via the Domino’s app. Once the vehicle arrives at the delivery location, customers will be able to use a PIN code provided by Domino’s to unlock the vehicle’s compartment and retrieve their pizza. Nuro has already been using electric self-driving vehicles to deliver groceries to Kroger customers in Phoenix and Houston. These vehicles, by the way, have half the width and half the weight of a typical car…lack seats, steering wheels or room for human occupants…and can reach 25 miles per hour on major roadways.
