The Milk Way is about 160,000 light years wide, with our planet only taking up a mere fraction of that. Considering our only spacecraft in transit is taking 2.5 billion years to make the trip through it, human domination doesn't seem likely. But there could be a better way. Roey Tzezana explains the idea of von Neumann machines and how they could aid in getting civilization across our galaxy.
Wrestler André the Giant was huge in the ring, and even the big screen was barely enough to contain him. André had smaller parts in other films and television series, but it was The Princess Pride, in a role written specifically for him, that André's penchant for acting was brought to the fore. No Small Parts looks at André's career in film and how being the biggest guy in the room wasn't always a good thing.

Combining legendary Leica optics and a full-frame sensor in a compact body, the original Q was a tremendous success. The third-generation Leica Q3 further refines the formula. It's built around an all-new 60-megapixel, backside-illuminated CMOS sensor offering 14 stops of dynamic range, which uses pixel-binning to output 36- and 18-megapixel images for faster operation and longer bursts. It's paired with a new Maestro IV processor with an 8GB buffer and a new hybrid autofocus system that blends contrast and phase detection to enable speedy eye, face, body, and animal tracking. Video recording also receives a boost, with 8K resolution, H.265, and Apple ProRes support.
Thankfully unchanged is the outstanding Leica Summilux 28 mm f/1.7 ASPH lens, with an integrated macro mode. It's paired with a digital zoom feature that crops to focal lengths of 28, 35, 50, 75 mm, and 90 mm, expanding creative possibilities without carrying around extra glass. The OLED EVF receives a resolution boost to 5.76 MP with zero lag, as does the tiltable 3" display offering 1.84 million pixels — a 76% increase compared to the Q2. The new battery has 18% more power than the prior generation, and when paired with the wireless charging handgrip can recharge the camera without wires or an external charger, a first for a full-frame camera.
Bluetooth and MIMO WiFi are on board, with the latter supporting 10x faster wireless transfer speeds, and four customizable FN buttons allow for easy one-thumb operation. Ports include HDMI for video recording and USB-C for charging and data transfer, and IP52-certified weather sealing protects against splashes and dirt. The Leica Q3 is handmade in Germany.

Imagine a swing so extreme you need a parachute to ride it. Red Bull takes the venerable playground mainstay to a whole other level, suspending it from hot air balloon 6,000 feet in the air. In the words of skydiver George Lettner, the 400-foot long swing is the realization of a childhood dream: "To swing higher and higher, and finally jump off and fly."
