By now, we all know about the Falcon 9 rocket's first landing at Cape Canaveral a year ago. Everyone was excited about the news, but none as much as SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. For the first time, we get to see just how jacked he was with National Geographic's behind-the-scenes look at the entire event.
Get the patents. Make a video. Prove the concept, then wait. The front end of Amazon that we're all familiar with — it's retail website — is just the tip of a massive internet juggernaut. Amazon also pretty much hosts the internet through its Amazon Web Services platform, also the most profitable part of the company. Now, Amazon wants you to buy your groceries at its coming chain of checkout-less locations, with the aim of getting as big a slice of a $25 trillion dollar pie as possible. And this is just the beginning.
On December 15, 2016, the sports world lost a legend. Famed NBA sideline reporter Craig Sager lost his two-and-a-half year battle with leukemia.

Bar soap rarely gets an upgrade, but the Duke Cannon Soap Puck rethinks the format with a compact, palm-sized design built for grip, portability, and longevity. Triple-milled for a denser, longer-lasting bar, it delivers a rich lather while holding up better than typical soaps, making it just as suited for daily showers as it is for gym bags and travel kits. Formulated with natural oils and free of phthalates, it cleans without overcomplicating things, while the rounded puck shape feels deliberate in hand. It's a small shift in form that turns a basic essential into something more considered and durable.

Having Morgan Freeman as your in-home assistant, whipping you t-shirts and playing your favorite movies, sounds like a dream. We'll leave it to Mark Zuckerberg to make it a reality. The Facebook founder created his own AI to run his home through an app on his phone and computer. As well as controlling your lights, thermostat, appliances, and security, Jarvis even begins to pick up on your tastes and patterns, keeping your ears safe from unbearable music choices. Unfortunately, Zuckerberg is keeping this all to himself for the time being, but hopes to eventually make it available to the world.

Film preservationist and historian Ed Glaser talks about his search for the film and restoring it to all its campy glory.
Nike launches the Vomero 18 with a stacked cushioning setup designed for longer miles and everyday training. The silhouette combines ZoomX foam layered above ReactX foam to create a softer ride while maintaining responsiveness underfoot. Additional outsole pods are positioned at high-contact zones to improve agility and smooth out heel-to-toe transitions across pavement, treadmills, and track surfaces. A padded tongue and reinforced upper add structure to the fit, while the retro-inspired colorway pushes the Vomero beyond running and into everyday wear equally built for early morning mileage, coffee stops, and city streets afterward.

Inside, there's a place for everything — laptop, documents, business cards, a change of clothes—because chaos isn't part of your carry-on. Finished with a leather strap, suitcase clip, and clean lines, it's built for long days and global nights.
If you were wondering why it's called the bullet ant, it's because its sting has been compared to being shot. But being the most painful insect in the insect kingdom isn't enough to stop Coote from Brave Wilderness from giving it a try. After warming up with several other extremely painful stings, Coyote bites the bullet — literally — and experiences it for himself.
