In 2025, NASA and its international partners celebrate 25 years of continuous human presence aboard the International Space Station. Since November 2, 2000, more than 290 people from 26 countries have lived and worked aboard the orbiting laboratory, conducting thousands of experiments that have advanced science and technology on Earth and paved the way for Artemis missions to the Moon and future journeys to Mars.  Beyond its role as a science platform, the station has been a bridge—connecting cultures, sparking creativity, and inspiring generations. The memories of Johnson Space Center employees reflect how the orbiting laboratory is not only an…

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7‘s campaign is bad. So it’s a shame that the coolest bit of Black Ops 7, a new co-op RPG-meets-extraction-shooter mode called Endgame, is locked behind completing said not-very-good campaign. But that’s changing very soon, according to the game’s developer, Treyarch. The latest entry in Activision’s long-running FPS franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, launched earlier this week to mixed reviews from fans and critics. While many praised the game’s visuals and zombies mode, its multiplayer feels long in the tooth, and its campaign is a wild, incomprehensible mess that is only fun to…

I’m not happy that I have to write about Battlefield 6‘s new map, Eastwood. I’d rather be playing it. I’ve already put around five hours into the map in a single night, and I’m here to say: It good. On November 18, Battlefield 6‘s latest major season one update landed on all platforms. It added a new game mode, Sabotage, which is too small and not very good. But more importantly, it added a whole new map. And unlike the last map added earlier this month, the dreadful Blackwell Fields, this big new warzone set in a rich California suburb…
