BluShift Aerospace in Brunswick, Maine, successfully launched its Stardust 1.0 rocket from an abandoned Air Force base – a rocket the company’s CEO claims was powered by nontoxic biofuel so safe that he could “give it to one [his] daughters’ without it having any adverse effects.” No adverse effects other than his daughter never speaking to him again because she thought it was her first real cocktail.
Claire Elise Boucher, better known as the singer Grimes and even better known as the current girlfriend of Elon Musk, says she’d relocate to Mars after she turns 50 (in 18 years) even though it would involve “manual labor until death most likely but hopefully that can change.” Is that true or is Jeff Bezos telling her this to get her to break up with Musk?
The first 3D printed home in the U.S., made using SQ4D’s Autonomous Robotic Construction System (ARCS), is now listed on MLS in New York for the incredibly low price of only $299,999. Somewhere there’s a pig with money thinking, “I wonder if it’s wolf-proof.”

In a rare instance of a church allowing its relics to be scientifically tested, remains of two of the earliest Christians and members of the 12 apostles — St. Philip and St. James the Younger – were removed from the Santi Apostoli church in Rome and taken to a lab, where radiocarbon dating found them to be the wrong age to belong to either apostle. Will the pope send the lab a bill for lost collection basket revenues?
If you’ve ignored all of the gross warnings about why it’s unsanitary to keep your toothbrush in the bathroom, here’s some good news — Northwestern University researchers found that the bacteria bathroom brushes are loaded with come from your mouth, not the water droplets sprayed after every flush.
