Four years ago, back in 2020, a group of scientists at Cardiff University in the UK discovered phosphine in the clouds on Venus. This significant discovery, the researchers said, showed that a gas closely related to life on Earth existed on Earth’s twin still to this day, spurring theories that life on Venus might not be completely extinct just yet.
However, many scientists called back to those researchers and those theories, calling them crazy for even suggesting such a thing. And while it is always good to have a healthy amount of skepticism about things, those scientists didn’t give up. And...

Updated on July 18, 9am PT: As expected, the Falcon 9 was indeed grounded; however, SpaceX seeks ways to obtain an exception to resume the flight operation before the full mishap investigation is officially over. Specifically, SpaceX has asked the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to make a so-called public safety determination.

It looks like NASA officials might be seeing the writing on the wall for the very troubled Boeing Starliner, which has marooned two astronauts up in space for almost two months due to technical issues. An unnamed "informed" source told Ars Technica that there's a greater than 50 percent probability...

There are a lot of factors that determine how much power an internal combustion engine makes, but the biggest is simply how fast it can consume fuel. This is true in both turbocharged and naturally aspirated drivetrains. While turbo or supercharged engines can get away with smaller displacements, because they force the fuel into the combustion chambers, the best way to make more ponies with air-breathers is to increase the cubic inches.

The SR-71 The SR-71, the most advanced member of the Blackbird family that included the A-12 and YF-12, was designed by a team of Lockheed personnel led by Clarence “Kelly” Johnson, then vice president of Lockheed’s Advanced Development Company Projects, commonly known as the “Skunk Works” and now a part of Lockheed Martin.

Once F-4 crews told the SR-71 couldn’t go vertical after takeoff. They gave up after a Blackbird did a high-performance takeoff (with sensitive equipment replaced with ballast).

There’s an awful lot of junk floating around in space, with recent estimates suggesting there could be more than 25,000 objects in orbit around the Earth right now. We don’t often get to see this junk up close to find out how a lifetime in space affects man-made objects, until now.

NASA recently live streamed the departure of a spaceship from the International Space Station (ISS), but it wasn’t Boeing’s Starliner, which is staying longer than expected at the orbital outpost due to technical issues. On Friday, the station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm detached Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus spacecraft from the...

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

As the astronauts approached the ISS several of the Starliner’s thrusters malfunctioned due to what NASA identified as “five small helium leaks in the spacecraft’s service module.”
