Teams move the core stage, or largest section, of the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket for NASA’s Artemis III mission into the Vehicle Assembly Building at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida in this photo from April 27, 2026. The SLS core stage traveled 900 miles on the Pegasus barge from NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans where the stage is manufactured, to complete assembly of the massive rocket at NASA Kennedy. This mission will launch crew aboard the Orion spacecraft on top of the SLS rocket to test rendezvous and docking capabilities between Orion and commercial spacecraft needed to land astronauts on the Moon.

Anbernic’s unique retro handheld console, the RG Rotate, will be available to order beginning on May 11. The portable machine includes a 1:1 swivel display that reminds me of an old-school T-Mobile Sidekick. The specs are decent, so this machine should be powerful enough to run PS1, Nintendo 64 and maybe even some GameCube games, in addition to titles from older consoles. It features a Unisoc Tiger T618 octa-core CPU, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. It runs on Android 12 and also boasts a fairly large battery and a USB-C port for…
If you read George Orwell’s classic political satire Animal Farm in seventh grade, you probably remember the basic contours of the plot: fed up with human rule, a group of well-intentioned barnyard animals set up their own egalitarian society, with disastrous results. Published in 1945, Animal Farm has a timeless (and, certainly, contemporarily relevant) message: it’s about how the impulse to retain power will always come at the expense of our basic morality.That message, however, seems to have been lost on most MAGA influencers assigned the book in middle school (if they even read it at all). After their failure…

Trimmed in bicentennial pageantry, NASA opened a visitor center at its Goddard campus in Greenbelt, Maryland, in May 1976. Fifty years on, the Goddard Visitor Center continues to inspire through exhibits and programs on the past, present, and future of space exploration. When the visitor center first opened its doors (just a few weeks before the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington), much of it was open-air. Instead of gilded scissors, a reenactment of Dr. Robert Goddard’s first rocket launch snapped the ribbon. Initial exhibits featured a full-scale mockup of the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory (a Hubble telescope precursor),…
The long-awaited underwater survival game Subnautica 2 will be playable as an early access title on May 14. This sequel was first announced over four years ago, but some serious legal drama seems to have held things up. This is actually the third entry in the franchise, following the original Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero. Just like the other games, Subnautica 2 is an exploration-focused survival sim set primarily underwater. This one’s set on a new planet and introduces co-op support for up to four players. It’s also extremely easy on the eyes. Unknown…
For anyone who fears their ChatGPT and Codex accounts might be targeted by attackers, OpenAI announced on Thursday that it is adding an optional new level of account protection that adds an extra layer of security. Dubbed Advanced Account Security, the feature enforces strict access controls that would make account takeover attacks very difficult.Such measures are not a new idea in the realm of account security. Google, for example, has offered its Advanced Protection account security tier for nearly a decade. But as mainstream AI services rapidly proliferate around the world, there is a pressing need for an array of…
Love and Deepspace, a mobile gacha game developed and published by Papergames, has run into a bit of an odd censorship problem in China during the advertising campaign for its latest in-game event, “Lingering Lust,” due to the country’s strict laws regarding NSFW content. However, after the trailer for the new event was censored twice, Papergames has resorted to a rather inventive form of artistic expression: stick figures. OK, so, there’s a lot of conflicting information out there surrounding this, which is almost definitely even more difficult to parse due to the language barrier, but here’s what I was able…
Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. The king has returned. Maintenance workers at Katmai National Park in Alaska spotted 2025 Fat Bear Week champion Chunk. In a video shared by Katmai Conservancy, National Park Service (NPS) maintenance crews spotted the roughly large adult male brown bear (Ursus arctos) walking along on a patch of ice in the park. Bears are not seen as frequently during the spring, so this early glimpse of Chunk is exciting. Katmai is a home and hunting ground for some of the largest brown bears in…
Rebellion Yet another indie game is becoming a TV show, as an adaptation of Atomfall is in the works. This is an action survival RPG that was released in 2025 and won British Game of the Year at the recent BAFTA Game Awards. That’s fitting, because Atomfall is an extremely British game. It references everything from Doctor Who and the legend of Excalibur to The Lord of the Rings, James Bond, The Chronicles of Narnia and The Wicker Man. The Fallout-inspired game is set in the 1960s after a nuclear disaster leads to…
