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.
A Chinese spacecraft appears poised to enter orbit around Mars, one day after an orbiter from the United Arab Emirates did so and about a week ahead of an American attempt to put down another spacecraft on the surface of the red planet.
