Unitree G1 Humanoid Robot Anti-Gravity Mode
Engineers at Unitree decided to test their latest robot upgrades the old fashioned way: by hitting it in the face.

NASA VIPER Mission Moon Blue Origin
NASA’s Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, or VIPER, is back from the dead. After being cancelled in 2024 and pissing off scientists and lawmakers, NASA has contracted Blue Origin to take this golf cart sized rover to the moon’s south pole in late 2027. This is part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program and is a big step towards unlocking the moon’s secrets and paving the way for humans to live off the land in space.
