A new book about the Apollo program, “Eight Years to the Moon,” suggests that a rogue space module nearly crashed into an astronaut space capsule.
Wednesday’s experimental launch was supposed to show the first true flight of the Starhopper, but a spout of flame started coming out of its top.
The photos have stood the test of time: A spacesuit-clad Apollo astronaut stands proudly next to a red-white-and-blue American flag on the moon, his national trophy saying: “The United States was here.”
Unfortunately, the six flags planted on the lunar surface from 1969 through 1972 haven’t fared so well.
Images taken by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2012 showed that at least five out six flags were still standing. However, scientists think decades’ worth of brilliant sunlight have bleached away their emblematic colors.
On Wednesday, we wrote about a database of mutations that could give people superhuman characteristics or medical benefits.
The database, which reads like a real-life skill tree from a video game, is housed on the website of famed Harvard geneticist George Church. Now Church has opened up, telling Futurism why he assembled the list and how he hopes others will use it as gene-hacking technology develops.

China has declared its ambition to dominate the technology sector from 5G and artificial intelligence to robotics and quantum computing. Joining the infrastructure firms on this year’s list are technology firms such as Alibaba, http://JD.com/, Tencent, Xiaomi, and BOE. Huawei was not included as it is a private entity.
China’s ambition to dominate the technology sector from 5G and artificial intelligence to robotics and quantum computing is bearing fruit.
