Moonbase Alpha: That time NASA made a meme video game

NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States, has tried many different ways to encourage public interest in science education and space exploration. That included a brief pivot to video game publishing, of all things. In 2009, NASA teamed up with multiple video game studios to create a space-themed MMO. The result was a moon base simulator game that became a meme: Moonbase Alpha. To the Moon Virtual Heroes was founded in 2004 as a game studio focused on trainin

I fought in Ukraine and here's why FPV drones kind of suck

In 2024 and 2025, I served for six months as an international volunteer on a first-person view attack drone team in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. My team was deployed in the Donbas region, in one of the hottest sectors of the front. When I joined the team, I was excited to work with a cutting-edge tool.

Indian drone startup Raphe mPhibr has raised $100 million in an all-equity Series B round led by General Catalyst, as the startup aims to boost its R&D and local production capabilities amid growing demand for drones in battlefields and for border surveillance.

A new pyramid-like shape always lands the same side up

In 360 BCE, Plato envisioned the cosmos as an arrangement of five geometric shapes: flat-sided solids called polyhedra. These immediately became important objects of mathematical study. So it might be surprising that, millennia later, mysteries still surround even the simplest shape in Plato’s polyhedral universe: the tetrahedron, which has just four triangular faces. One major open problem, for instance, asks how densely you can pack “regular” tetrahedra, which have identical faces. Another as

‘Ironheart’ Has a Phase One MCU Link We Didn’t See Coming

If we said Ironheart, the new Marvel Studios show about a genius who builds a special suit allowing her to fly around, linked to the original 2008 film Iron Man, you’d say “No duh.” The entire idea and premise of the show are intrinsically linked to that character and film. But if we told you the connection went beyond that, and linked to a supporting character in that film played by an Oscar winner, you’d probably be like “Tell me more.” So we will.

Since Avengers: Endgame, the MCU has examined which heroes will step up now that most of the original characters have bowed out. In the case of Iron Man, this question has mostly been answered in Spider-Man, but fans of the armored Avenger’s comics know his actual successor comes in Riri “Ironheart” Williams, introduced in 2016 by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato, Jr. Marvel brought Riri into the cinematic fold with 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, with the promise of her eventually

It has something to do with the brain,” she says.
