NASA handed Stone Aerospace a $175,000 check in July 2026 to fund a nine-month research on a hovering robot that would have the opportunity to explore one of the Moon’s most intriguing features.

Hennessey Special Vehicles just pulled the covers off its third hypercar, and this one plays by a very different set of rules. Named Blackbird and shaped by the Lockheed SR-71 spy plane that once owned the skies, the new car skips turbos, hybrids, and digital screens in favor of a high-revving American V8 and a gated six-speed stick. Production is capped at 71 examples, each starting at $2.5 million before taxes, with customer deliveries planned for 2029 and 2030 once Venom F5 production winds down.
An old laptop that had served for more than six years suddenly shut down mid-game and refused to power on again. Its owner, the LEGO builder known as Koenkun Bricks, recovered the hard drives without trouble and found them intact. Rather than scrap the machine, he decided the screen still had a future as a second monitor for his desk. The plan was simple on paper: free the LCD panel, give it a proper controller so it could accept a standard HDMI signal, and enclose everything in LEGO so the whole unit could tilt, rise, and spin as needed.
