The Space Station Leak Is Rearing Its Ugly Head Again

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-15 03:15:21

Space Draft Space tourism company Axiom Space has had to postpone its fourth chartered SpaceX flight to the International Space Station after NASA announced it needs more time to investigate an air leak affecting the orbital lab. For five years, NASA and its Russian counterpart Roscosmos have been hunting down leaks in the station, which has been continuously occupied for 25 years. The issue has since been traced back to the Russian segment of the ISS, specifically the Zvezda service module, a

I wanted to find new ways to enrich my 3D work which wouldn't be possible without leveraging effects and passes alongside custom shaders. As it turns out, post-processing is great entrypoint to enhance a 3D scene with atmospheric and lighting effects, allowing for more realistic and dramatic visuals. Because t

Mel Brooks returns from the retirement home to save a galaxy 'very, very, very, very, far away'

techspot.com Cal Jeffrey 2025-09-15 15:06:00

Editor's take: If you're around my age, chances are you grew up loving at least one Mel Brooks classic. Young Frankenstein was my personal favorite, and Spaceballs cracked me up with its irreverent jabs at Star Wars and other sci-fi hits of the era. Now, nearly four decades later, Brooks is back with a sequel. After nearly 40 years, Mel Brooks is finally making a follow-up to his classic Star Wars spoof, Spaceballs.

NASA Makes Big Update to Asteroid Potentially on Collision Course With Earth in 2032
