Stratospheric Airships for Elint - And a Stray Chinese Balloon or Two
Latest: China has apologised for the illegal drifting of one of its balloons into US airspace. It resulted in the US Secretary of State cancelling a visit to Beijing citing 'violation of our sovereignty' at a time when diplomatic relations between the countries are arguably at an all time low. It's clearly a major embarrassment for China.

The Moon
The Moon is the only natural satellite of Earth and the fifth largest moon in the Solar System. It is the second-brightest regularly visible celestial object in Earth’s sky after the Sun, as measured by illuminance on the surface of the Earth. The Moon is a cold, dusty, airless, rocky world that has been a source of fascination for thousands of years. It is the closest celestial body to Earth and has been a major cultural influence since ancient times, from the earliest civilizations to modern day.

First Contact
Since the beginnings of popular science fiction, the idea of any initial meetings between humans and extraterrestrials have happened overwhelmingly on Earth. From Well's The War of the Worlds, in which the Martians attack, to Clarke's Childhood's End, an attempt at peaceful utopia under alien overlords, the extraterrestrials have come to Earth with more technology, more knowledge, and always, always, more firepower. Whether it's peaceful Vulcans shaking hands with Zefram Cochrane, or multiple fifteen mile wide saucers being deployed over major Earth cities, it is what we Earthlings have come to expect. If you believe in intelligent alien life, you instinctively believe it will eventually come to us.

4 Places Where the Laws of Physics Break Down
The laws of physics are the foundation upon which our understanding of the universe is built. They describe how things move, how they interact with each other, and how they change over time. These laws are incredibly powerful and accurate, but there are a few places where they break down. In this article, we will explore some of these places in depth and discuss the implications of these breakdowns for our understanding of the universe.
