Boston Dynamics, famous for its highly mobile robots, has announced an expanded product line for the agile ‘Spot’.

After Jim Glickenhaus defied Elon Musk to pit the Cybertruck against the SCG Boot at the Baja 1000, he revealed his car will be a fuel cell pickup truck.

WASHINGTON — NASA awarded a contract to SpaceX Feb. 9 for the launch of the first two elements of its lunar Gateway on a Falcon Heavy in 2024.

NASA will use a Falcon Heavy rocket to launch the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) and Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO) modules of the Gateway, destined for the near-rectilinear halo orbit around moon. The contract with SpaceX is valued at $331.8 million for the launch and “other mission-related costs.”

Ethical hacker Alex Birsan developed a way to inject malicious code into open-source developer tools to exploit dependencies in organizations internal applications.

Alien intelligent life may be bird-like, see.

Could they help us understand intelligent life on other worlds?

Flip flops from plants. 😃

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have figured out how to turn algae into flip flops. They founded a startup to sell the shoe, but face a challenge in getting their invention mass produced: There aren’t enough algae farms to support the startup’s supply chain.

Solar powered bikes for use in fighting poaching. 😃

What’s even more badass than defending endangered animals from illegal poaching? How about rolling up on a stealthy solar-powered bush bike made specifically to sneak up on poachers and bust their asses? These electric motorcycles are light, nimble, rechargeable and best of all zero-emissions. Get wrecked, poachers!

NASA’s rover must plow through Mars’ atmosphere at supersonic speeds, deploy a parachute to slow itself, then fly to safety with a jetpack.

The detailed physical processes and pathways involved in the transmission of COVID-19 are still not well understood. Researchers decided to use advanced computational fluid dynamics tools on supercomputers to deepen understanding of transmission and provide a quantitative assessment of how different environmental factors influence transmission pathways and airborne infection risk.
