The head of NASA has decided to move one of the agency's retired space shuttles to Houston, but which one seems to still be up in the air.

I attend a minimum of 3 EDM festivals every year, and they all have one thing in common: There’s no phone service anywhere. It’s almost a meme at this point. Trying to send a text message at a festival will have you walking around with your phone in the air, praying that it’ll send. Don’t even think about trying a phone call—it’ll fail every time. It’s gotten to the point where my friends and I started time-stamping our text messages: “I’m at the Forest Stage, 2:42 pm.” The Totem Compass is the
