In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web. motherjones.com/environment/…

The EPA is quietly killing its web archive

Tens of thousands of documents on contamination, clean power, and Trump's climate deletions are now scheduled to disappear.

EA's complete misunderstanding of BioWare's RPG heritage and a desire for mass market, microtransaction-fuelled action games has robbed us of one of the industry's greats. bit.ly/4skXwy5

14 Years of 3D Printing OpenRC cars - Daniel Norée

15 years ago, my dad and I bought our first 3D printer, a MakerBot Thing-O-Matic. Once it was finally up and running, I set out to create a project to show my friends how cool 3D printing was....

Now on display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center: A Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk The F-117 is the world’s first true operational stealth combat aircraft. The Museum's F-117 was restored for display by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, which included demilitarizing the aircraft and restoring it to its final operational appearance.
A black F-117 Nighthawk stealth aircraft is displayed inside an aviation museum hangar. The hangar has a high arched ceiling with white beams and skylights. A few other aircraft with visible decals and designs are situated in the background.

Today, @JAXA_en is scheduled to launch its Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission. Aboard is MEGANE, an instrument built by Johns Hopkins APL for @NASA that will study Phobos' elemental composition to help uncover the origins of Mars' moons.
Today, JAXA is scheduled to launch the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission from Japan. With an instrument built by Johns Hopkins APL for NASA aboard, MMX will investigate whether Mars' moons formed from debris following an impact on Mars or are asteroids captured by its gravity.

Built by Johns Hopkins APL on behalf of NASA, MEGANE is a neutron and gamma-ray spectrometer that will study Phobos, the larger of Mars' two moons. By measuring neutrons and gamma rays emitted from its surface, MEGANE will help scientists determine which elements make up the moon.

As MMX makes repeated passes over Phobos, MEGANE will collect measurements that scientists can use to map the moon’s elemental composition. This illustration shows what a map of Phobos’ elemental composition could look like based on MEGANE’s future measurements. These maps could provide important clues about how Phobos formed.

A Spinosaurus species uncovered in northern Niger appears to have been a wading predator of fish like its close relatives, but it lived as many as 1000 kilometers inland from the Tethys Sea. The fossil find may represent a third phase of evolution for this group of massive, fish-eating dinosaurs. Learn more on #NationalFossilDay: scim.ag/4tOnxpY

NEW: More trees were cut at East Potomac than first reported. About 529 trees were cut at East Potomac Golf Links in a single day, according to a Justice Department email filed in court today. The figure given in court Monday was about 430. Plaintiffs say that number covered only one of two zones cut on Saturday. wusa9.com/article/tech/scien…

it's a bit concerning that instead of responding to obvious political incentives and moderating on some of their worst and most unpopular policies, the Trump administration is getting more and more extreme

The aircraft that launched the stealth revolution is headed to its next mission. ✈️ With support from @LockheedMartin and the @512AirliftWing, this F-117 Nighthawk was loaded aboard a C-5 Galaxy and transported to the @airandspace, where its legacy will inspire future generations. AFA and Air & Space Forces Magazine were on the C-5 that carried the Nighthawk from Skunk Works to IAD. The aircraft is currently in the Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar, having its wings reinstalled before it goes on public display.
