On Saturday, September 20, an ambitious project will be announced and celebrated in Animas, New Mexico, which lies near the Arizona border. And you’re invited. Dubbed “Lunar Base Alpha,” it will replicate the lunar landscape and feature rovers conducting science experiments and habitats that you’ll be able to stay in. The initial project will cover Continue reading "Experience the Moon on Earth" The post Experience the Moon on Earth appeared first on Astronomy Magazine .

With all the frenzied news swirling around these days, it's understandable if you let Elon Musk slip from the top of your mind. While the billionaire's mental state was arguably frayed during his stint as DOGE czar — thanks in no small part to a constant stream of drugs like ketamine, Ambien, and MDMA — it's become visibly more concerning since his dramatic departure earlier this summer. Left alone with his own thoughts, the world's richest man has embarked on a number of bizarre side projects to fill the days, including an anti-Microsoft company called "Macrohard," and an anti-establishment political […]

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the well-heeled crackpot helming our nation's healthcare system, holds all kinds of screwball beliefs about pharmaceuticals — but his bizarre and incoherent opposition to depression-treating selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is perhaps the most indefensible. Since at least 2023, when Kennedy first launched his long-shot presidential campaign, the conspiracy theorist has insisted there is some sort of link between SSRIs and school shootings. That summer, the political scion told Elon Musk [link to either the original or a reference to it?] during a livestreamed discussion on X-formerly-Twitter that although there are no studies on the matter, "there’s […]

A man murdered his mother and then killed himself after entering into a mental health crisis tied to ChatGPT, which fueled his delusional, paranoid beliefs. As The Wall Street Journal reported, a 56-year-old man named Stein-Erik Soelberg was a longtime tech industry worker who'd moved in with his mother, 83-year-old Suzanne Eberson Adams, in his hometown of Greenwich, Connecticut following his 2018 divorce. Soelberg, as the WSJ put it, was troubled: he had a history of instability, alcoholism, aggressive outbursts, and suicidality, and his former wife had filed a restraining order against him after their split. It's unclear exactly when Soelberg started […]

Your ears do not deceive you. It's the Taco Bell death knell, tolling for the restaurant chain's shambolic AI-powered drive-thrus. We exaggerate, but only a little. The much-maligned tech experiment, which has been deployed at 500 Taco Bell locations across the country, isn't quite dead yet. But it's received enough backlash since being unleashed on hangry motorists that one of the company's top executives is having second thoughts. "We're learning a lot, I'm going to be honest with you," Taco Bell chief digital and technology officer Dane Mathews told the Wall Street Journal, in what we can only imagine was […]
