Thunderbirds at Kennedy Space Center: Same Physics as a Rocket Launch

The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds headline the MAX POWER airshow at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in November 2026 — and the jet-engine physics powering their F-16s turn out to be surprisingly close to those of a rocket lifting off from the same complex. Samwise Shore - November 9, 2026

NASA’s $1M Moon Base Challenge Asks Students to Solve Lunar Construction

Mars Global Surveyor Found a Magnetically Active, Wetter Early Mars

NASA's Mars Global Surveyor launched in 1996 to map a planet scientists considered geologically dead — then returned data showing Mars once had an active magnetic field, possible tectonic activity, and far more water than anyone expected. Samwise Shore - November 9, 2026

Ancient Oceans Had Multiple Giant Predators at Once — Defying Evolution

Classical evolutionary theory insisted ecosystems support only one apex predator at a time. Fossil records from ancient oceans — including megalodon's era — tell a far more complicated story. Samwise Shore - November 8, 2026
