NASA has announced that it found something on Mars. What is it? Well… they’re going to tell us about it tomorrow. In a statement, NASA said: The media and public are invited to ask questions during a live discussion at 2 p.m. EDT Thursday, June 7, on new science results from NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover. […] More
I am a huge fan of NPR. I listen to it almost every day, even if I’m just hanging out at home. The commentary is incredibly intelligent, the spin is little-to-none, and the quality of the content is far above nearly any other news organization out there. So I was a bit surprised by the […] More
Today, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a cake shop in Colorado which refused to serve a homosexual couple, and I agree with the decision. In short, a bakery in Colorado refused service to a homosexual couple seeking a wedding cake, saying it violated his religious beliefs and freedom of speech. SCOTUS ruled on […] More
Tardigrades. Water Bears. Moss piglets. Whatever you choose to call them, they’re built like tanks. Pop culture has taught us that they’re seemingly indestructible and impervious to… just about anything. After all, they’ve been found living near vents on volcanoes, and have even survived the vacuum of space for a week and a half, where […] More
It’s certainly been a long year this month. We have the usual nonsensical ramblings from someone who is supposed to be the leader of our country. Then we had the white woman who pretended to be black get charged with welfare fraud. Then there was the InfoWars-esque conspiracy theorist with a television show who got […] More
I was born and raised in Evansville, Indiana. With a population of about 120,000 people, it’s a relatively big fish in a small pond. You have to drive two hours to get to a city that’s larger (Louisville, Kentucky), and you’re unlikely to see very many people on that barren stretch of I-64 that adjoins […] More
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Donald Trump thanked summer break for playing a pivotal role in stopping the carnage of school shootings happening on an almost weekly basis in the United States. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders explained what this meant in a press conference on Friday: We’ve all looked at the numbers, and […] More
Last month, NASA gave me an incredible opportunity to take me behind the scenes for the launch of TESS, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, in Cape Canaveral, Florida. You can read more about TESS here, and even check out the tour and launch here! Today, NASA contacted me to let me know that I was […] More
Everybody loves explosions. Everybody loves rockets. And among us omnivores, who doesn’t like fried chicken? So it’s safe to assume that combining all of these elements into one fantastically photoshopped image would be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen in my life. And it’s true. Possibly the only thing better than a […] More
If you remember back in 2016, the European Space Agency navigated its probe, Rosetta, to Comet 67P. No big deal, right? Well. The probe had a lander, named Philae. That’s right – a lander for a COMET. Comets are similar, but very different from asteroids. They’re similar in that either one impacting the Earth would […] More
A Google Street View car in Maryland Heights, Missouri drove right through the path of totality during the ‘Great American Eclipse’ of 2017 – and now you can, too! Google Street View is really an amazing tool. It’s helped me figure out where I’m supposed to go when more traditional directions aren’t very clear. And […] More
According to the New York Times, the Trump administration is making a push to support abstinence-only sex education. The Times said: While the funding announcement, issued Friday by the Department of Health and Human Services, does not exclude programs that provide information about contraception and protected sex, it explicitly encouraged programs that emphasize abstinence or “sexual […] More
