Towering volcanic rock, flowing mineral pools, and desert vegetation. Sounds like the perfect backdrop for an epic wakeboarding video. Brian Grubb thought the same thing when he headed to Jordan to navigate the narrow canyons of Wadi Al-Hidan. Grubb is no stranger to riding unique waters having shredded the waves of an ancient Cleopatra Pool, a Wisconsin cranberry field, and the rice terraces of Banaue.
NASA's Parker Probe will launch this summer and makes many firsts in space exploration. Over the course of seven years, it will orbit Venus, eventually becoming the fastest man-made object as it passes through the sun's corona, then becoming the closest man-made object to our nearest star. The Parker Probe's heat shields will disintegrate as it moves through the corona, and its instruments will operate at room temperature as it tries to solve the mystery behind why the corona is hotter than the surface of the sun. The data is years away, but the Park Probe is poised to help us better understand the life-giving body so close to home.

Homes with complex layouts and/or a lot of floor obstacles can befuddle a lot of robot cleaners. With the StarSight Autonomous System 2.0, Roborock's Saros 10R handles them with ease. Its 3D ToF sensors and visual recognition technology allow it to create 3D maps of its environment — as opposed to the 2D tech in most robovacs — boosting sampling frequency, response times, and the ability to see small objects. As the thinnest Roborock yet, it easily navigates under furniture and into hard-to-reach spots. It has a dual anti-tangle system for dealing with hair and an industry-first AdaptiLift Chassis to easily tackle thresholds and obstacles up to 1.5" tall; the latter joins a liftable mop, main brush, and side brush to make this one of the most versatile cleaners on the market. Enjoy $200 off through 2/16.
