Today on CNN 10 we head to Russia, where presidential elections are taking place. Then, we take off as SpaceX launches the most powerful rocket, Starship, into space for a third test flight attempt. Below, we recognize two influential female figures during Women's History Month: environmental activist Wangari Maathai and physicist Lise Meitner. And before you go, we meet a “doggy little dog” who would rather get a good night's sleep than wake up to start his shift tending sheep on a Virginia farm. All that and more in this episode of CNN 10.
