Summary

  • The Cygnus cargo ship, which was scheduled to launch in June, has been scratched after a shipping container carrying the vessel picked up damage in transit.
  • The International Space Station (ISS) is now running low on supplies, so a SpaceX Cargo Dragon, set to launch in April, will be adjusted to hold more food and other essential items.
  • Unfortunately, the Cargo Dragon is reusable, while Cygnus is expendable, which means it provides a handy way to dispose of trash for the ISS crew.
  • Emmanuel Lidden has pled guilty to violating Australia’s nuclear proliferation laws after ordering a sample of plutonium, despite it being illegal to ship the substance to Australia.
  • border force officials initially seized the shipment but returned some of the material to Lidden, before re-seizing it and even shutting down the street where Lidden’s parents live, while wearing hazmat suits.
  • Thanks to 3D printing, it’s now possible to build models of unusual cars and vehicles that you may have an emotional connection to, including old Volkswagen Beetles and Toyota 4x4s.
