Something that always stuns me are the ways dedicated players find ways to push the limits of the games they play. Whether it’s Animal Crossing designers who know the perfect way to line up buildings to fake certain perspectives, or a Tears of the Kingdom player who created an ultra-fast flying machine by holding the fan up in a particular way, I’ve always appreciated the commitment and creativity that goes into pushing a game to its limit. I was doing the rounds on Reddit when I saw something that truly astounded me: Reddit user Scalhoun03 created a completely wind-powered airship in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
SpaceX’s Ship That Sent Lasers To Space Is Now Coming Back

SpaceX's CRS-29 mission from the International Space Station (ISS) departed from the orbiting space laboratory in the evening yesterday while it was flying above South America. The mission had flows to the ISS in early October and it carried a variety of payloads including science and research experiments. The CRS-29 mission was one of the more important ones in NASA's manifest as it carried crucial experiments such as laser communication and Earth imaging equipment to the ISS. Its liftoff in November marked SpaceX's 80th mission in 2023, with the ascent leg carrying 6,500 pounds of cargo. After separating from the ISS at 5:05 pm Eastern time, the Cargo Dragon is slated to return to Earth a little under 20 hours by splashing down off of the cost of Florida.
The Cargo Dragon for the CRS-29 mission will return with 4,300 pounds of cargo after it flew to space with equipment that would allow NASA to create a two way laser communications system and monitor atmospheric waves. Returning on the Dragon are completed research experiments as well as other items.
NASA continuously runs scientific experiments for its own scientists and other researchers on the ISS. The station's unique micro gravity environment enables scientists and researchers to see whether materials behave differently on the ISS compared to how they would on Earth. Some research that will make its way to Earth involves the study of plant genetics and the impact of microgravity on cells. Another experiment returning on the CRS 29 measured telomeres in space. These are structures at the end of a DNA strand, and while they shorten with age, previous studies have shown their elongation in space.
After its splashdown, the Cargo Dragon spacecraft will have completed its second commercial resupply services mission for NASA. It previously flew the CRS-26 mission in November 2022, with this year's launch marking a year long turnaround time for this particular Dragon spacecraft.
The next NASA SpaceX cargo mission is CRS 30, and it is currently expected to take to the skies in March next year. SpaceX has introduced several upgrades to the Dragon spacecraft over the course of the years, and the latest batch of these are under what is termed as the Dragon 2 spacecraft. All Dragon missions, whether Crew or Cargo, now fly on the Dragon 2, and the CRS 29 mission was the ninth flight of the upgraded spaceship.
Two crucial science experiments that made their way to the station on CRS 29 were the Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) and ILLUMA-T. AWE is an imaging science study that observes the upper regions of the atmosphere

Chatty robot called ‘ElliQ’ helps seniors fight loneliness through AI companionship
Joyce Loaiza lives alone, but when she returns to her apartment at a Florida senior community, the retired office worker often has a chat with a friendly female voice that asks about her day. A few miles away, the same voice comforted 83-year-old Deanna Dezern when her friend died. In central New York, it plays games and music for 92-year-old Marie Broadbent, who is blind and in hospice, and in Washington state, it helps 83-year-old Jan Worrell make new friends.
