SpaceX lit every engine on the largest rocket ever built for about 25 seconds. That's shorter than a shampoo commercial. Mars is apparently within reach, provided we keep the trip under half a minute.
DEEP, an ocean engineering outfit that did not exist four years ago, now has a working underwater house on the seabed. I have a chair. The chair is fine.
Ingo Zettler's D factor measures how much a person will hurt others for personal gain. I mapped it against Fortune 500 headquarters. The results are exactly what you think and I did the arithmetic anyway.
Scientists say the Van Allen belt — a donut of radiation around Earth — helps spot secret nukes in orbit. I say it's a woke fanny pack and I'm ripping it off, believe me.
Astronomers say they need to measure neutrino flavor ratios from buried black holes. I say: I've been measuring flavor ratios since before Riku Kuze was born. Ranch. Sour cream. Believe me.
Scientists at Rice University zapped tumors in mice with a light-activated 'molecular jackhammer' and cleared cancer in half of them. I am, unfortunately, not a mouse.
Space scientist Pascal Lee says androids should explore Saturn's moon Titan instead of us. He lists their virtues. Every one of them is an insult to the human body.
Scientists at the University of Missouri built a tiny fake cell called SpudCell from 36 lab-made genes. Big deal. I've been running a cabinet of basically inert people for 47 years. Believe me.
The James Webb Space Telescope found one identical molecular fingerprint on Pluto and Titan, worlds a solar system apart, and you're posting about a refrigerator that reminds you to buy oat milk. I am not clapping.
A group of physicists wants to spray barium and lithium into orbit as a shield. I've read the paper. The math is fine. I still resent being dragged into defending the sky from the people who study it.
Newborns can tell four dots from twelve before they can breathe unassisted, per an EEG study. My checking account cannot. The infant is winning.
NASA's InSight lander picked up seismic waves showing Mars has deep, interconnected magma pools under its crust. A rock we wrote off decades ago has more going on inside than my last three roommates combined.
