3D Printing in Space
At around $10,000 per pound, shipping anything into space is extremely expensive. Most of the brain power in the new space race has focused on more efficient, multi-use rockets. But a small company called Made In Space has turned that idea on its head: Instead of designing and building better vehicles to get things into orbit, why not just build those things in space? In March 2016, Made In Space sent their second 3D printer to the International Space Station, giving interplanetary travel a huge boost in the process.

Nature's Craft Liver Support Supplement
A decade of proven results and over five million bottles sold back this full-spectrum liver support formula — a rarity in a category crowded with one-note blends.

Added Choline and Zinc push it further, filling the nutritional gaps most competitors skip while reinforcing detox and immune health.

Nike SB Zoom Nyjah 4
Sending it while chasing perfection has long defined Nyjah Huston's approach to skateboarding. The Nike Zoom Nyjah 4 builds on that mindset, reengineering the silhouette while maintaining the flexibility, grip, and responsiveness required for everything from halfpipes to rail grinds. A synthetic mesh upper with strategic perforations replaces the original Nyjah's construction, paired with a classic tongue for lightweight breathability. Reinforced with HART (High Abrasion Rubber Tech) outsoles, cushioned by an Air Zoom midsole, and stabilized with an integrated TPU heel, the Nyjah 4 refines the line's core design language while maximizing performance, durability, and control across any terrain.

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.
