Trump-Musk row fuels 'biggest crisis ever' at Nasa

Retired astronaut Chris Hadfield dishes on the messy realities of space life—like wrestling with a zero-gravity toilet repair—while sharing wild moments from his career, including the sheer chaos of launch (imagine going from 0 to 17,500 mph in under nine minutes). He also drops thoughts on alien life, space movies, and even an "unusual party trick."

Editor’s Note: Hadfield’s candid anecdotes remind us that space isn’t just glamorous moonwalks and stunning views—it’s also hilariously (or grossly) human. His stories bridge the gap between cosmic awe and everyday relatability, making the final frontier feel a little closer to home. Plus, who doesn’t want to hear an astronaut complain about plumbing in zero-G?

NASA is facing what some are calling its "biggest crisis ever" after a public spat between Donald Trump and Elon Musk spilled over into the agency's budget plans. The newly released budget request to Congress slashes funding for science projects by almost 50%—a move that seems tied to tensions between the former president and the SpaceX CEO.

Editor’s Note: This isn't just bureaucratic drama—it could have real consequences for space exploration. NASA's science programs drive everything from climate research to Mars missions, and deep cuts could stall progress for years. The Trump-Musk feud adds a layer of political volatility to an already fragile situation for the agency.

Frank Graham Jr., a prolific writer who blended his love for sports and nature, has passed away at 100. While he once worked for the Brooklyn Dodgers, he’s best known for his conservation work—including a follow-up to Rachel Carson’s groundbreaking book on pesticides. His writing in Audubon Magazine helped shape environmental awareness for decades.

The Sega Toys Homestar Classic isn’t just another star projector—it’s the best at creating a realistic night sky indoors. If you want to turn your ceiling into a convincing planetarium, this gadget is the one to beat.

Robots today are limited by their battery life—they often conk out before finishing their tasks. But researchers are exploring a wild idea: what if we could "feed" robots like we do animals? By mimicking biological metabolism, robots might one day sustain themselves more efficiently, bridging the gap between machine endurance and natural stamina.
