Quote of the day by Max Planck (Image source: Wikipedia) Science has helped people understand the world in ways once impossible. Scientific discoveries have changed our lives in many ways, from understanding how planets move to discovering what atoms are made of. But even with all of these improvements, there are still a lot of…

For much of their time in space, astronauts are connected to the Earth via an invisible network of communications: voices, information, and continuous assurances from Mission Control. However, for NASA’s Artemis II mission, there is a defining point at which all such connections disappear. The astronauts inside the Orion capsule were silent for approximately 40…
