As opposed to their 2019 selves, more Americans now believe UFOs are alien spacecraft. This lines up with the mysterious aerial objects getting a scattering of reports in mainstream news outlets (theoretically making them less stigmatizing) during the same two-year timeframe. According to poll results published last week by Gallup, 41 percent of adults think UFOs come from other planets. […]
Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ space company, filed a federal lawsuit Friday over NASA awarding a $2.9 billion lunar lander contract to Elon Musk’s rival company SpaceX. Bezos founded the company to pursue commercial space flight, and after a trip from Texas last month, offered NASA $2 billion to change its mind about the contract. The filing mentioned “NASA’s unlawful […]
A priest sewed his lips shut in protest of Rupert Merdoch’s News Corporation and it’s “denial of the climate emergency,” according to a release from Christian Climate Action. The man, 71-year-old Rev.

Kevin Hart revealed on his Sirius XM show Straight From the Hart that he could’ve joined the likes of Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson, and boarded a shuttle for space, but turned it down. “I’ve got something to tell you guys, though, and this is not a joke. You’ll never guess what I was offered,” Hart told his co-hosts, […]
Upcoming changes in the moon’s orbit could have devastating effects on the United States. According to a newly published report, researchers at NASA and the University of Hawaii predict a “wobble” in the moon’s orbit, combined with rising sea levels due to climate change, will cause record flooding in the country’s coastal cities. NASA explains that these floods […]
A newly discovered exoplanet, or planet outside of the solar system, may contain water clouds, CNN reports. Located 90 light-years from Earth, the exoplanet, known as TOI-1231 b, is believed to have clouds in its atmosphere, based on observations of the planet’s radius and mass. Researchers suspect TOI-1231 b is low density, and quite comparable to another […]
An asteroid the size of a skyscraper made a “relatively close” approach to Earth on Tuesday. According to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory website, the “potentially hazardous” space object—called 2021 KT1—is believed to be about 600 feet in diameter, which would make it bigger than the Washington Monument and about the size of the Seattle Space Needle. NASA […]
On Monday, a NASA spacecraft filled with asteroid rubble, called Osiris-REx, started its journey back to Earth. It should be here in *checks watch* roughly two-and-a-half years. Osiris-REx first got to asteroid Bennu in 2018. For two years it flew near/around it. Then it touched down and collected debris. It’s estimated to be holding somewhere between half a […]
The Chinese rocket that was anticipated to fall to Earth, finally landed on early Sunday morning in the Indian Ocean, near the Maldives. CNN reports that according to China’s space administration, a majority of the debris burned up as it re-entered the atmosphere. NASA administrator Bill Nelson denounced China for the rocket’s uncontrollable landing and […]

The debris is a 100-foot-long piece from a Chinese Long March 5B, according to the U.S. Space Command, which the Associated Press reports brought the main module […]
