Humanity's First Interstellar Mission
When Johann Kepler wrote Galileo Galilei that humans would reach the stars on the heavenly winds, it turns out he wasn't just making a metaphor. While we might not ever make it, spacecraft with sails designed to ride a massive beam of light to Alpha Centauri, the nearest star to Earth, can. The Atlantic looks at how this technology could get us to the stars, with spaceships that cost as much as a smartphone.
French Onion Barb
Now Netflix is just being cruel. After leaving Barb in the Upside Down with no explanation about her health or safety, they're making a mockery out of our favorite Stranger Things character by turning her into a soup. Although we're totally against the treatment of Barb, we have to admit she does look rather tasty as a bowl of french onion soup.

Nick Offerman On Making Stuff
Turns out that the the "character" Nick Offerman and the man Nick Offerman aren't too philosophically apart. In this sit-down interview with Sam Jones, Nick gives his thoughts on the all-American pastime of buying stuff, the importance of making things, and giving children the opportunity to see that not everything has to come off the shelf of a massive box store.

He's been bitten by an alligator and stung by a cow killer. Now Coyote Peterson is taking a sting from the Tarantula Hawk. Not only is this the largest species of wasp in the Unites States, but it eats freaking tarantulas for lunch. Needless to say, he immediately regretted his decision.

Lego Skateboard
Sure, there are plenty of amazing Lego sets, but the really impressive builds come from those who think outside of the box. Woodworker Peter Brown did just that when he put his skills to $200-worth of Legos. Using 250 bricks and 20 ounces of resin, he made a working skateboard by hand. Once it was complete, he sent it over to they guys at Braille Skateboarding so they could give it a test run and see just how much abuse it could handle.
