Solar geoengineering faces daunting practical and political challenges
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 22, 2025
Efforts to cool the planet by reflecting sunlight back into space may be far more difficult than previously imagined, according to new research from Columbia University scientists. Their analysis highlights the immense scientific, logistical, and geopolitical hurdles involved in stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) - a proposed form of solar geoengineering that seeks to counter global warming b

Space exploration in the backyard, on a budget - how NASA simulates conditions in space without blasting off
Atlanta, GA (SPX) Oct 22, 2025
Humanity's drive to explore has taken us across the solar system, with astronaut boots, various landers and rovers' wheels exploring the surfaces of several different planetary bodies. These environments are generally hostile to human and equipment health, so designing and executing these missions requires a lot of planning, testing and technological development.
