The sky is falling.
Do they know if/where it landed?

News Feature: Voyager still breaking barriers decades after launch

As Voyagers 1 and 2 continue their epic journeys through interstellar space, they're resolving past controversies and even helping to spark a new one: the true shape of the heliosphere.
Launched more than four decades ago, the two Voyager spacecraft keep expanding our horizons. Having flown past the giant planets in the late 1970s and 1980s, Voyagers 1 and 2 are now well beyond all their planetary targets, with Voyager 1 more than five times farther out than Neptune and Voyager 2 not far behind. “Every day is a new record for Voyager,” says the spacecraft’s project manager, Suzanne Dodd at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory near Los Angeles, CA.

SQUIDS IN SPACE!!!!!!!!

NASA launches dozens of baby squid from Hawaii into space for research
The baby Hawaiian bobtail squid were raised at the University of Hawaii’s Kewalo Marine Laboratory and were blasted into space earlier this month on a SpaceX resupply mission to the International Space Station.
Researcher Jamie Foster, who completed her doctorate at the University of Hawaii, is studying how spaceflight affects the squid in hopes of bolstering human health during long space missions, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Monday.
The squid have a symbiotic relationship with natural bacteria that help regulate their bioluminescence.
When astronauts are in low gravity their body’s relationship with microbes changes, said University of Hawaii professor Margaret McFall-Ngai, who Foster studied under in the 1990s.
“We have found that the symbiosis of humans with their microbes is perturbed in microgravity, and Jamie has shown that is true in squid,” said McFall-Ngai. “And, because it’s a simple system, she can get to the bottom of what’s going wrong.”

Pro Tip.
When you lash together a trebuchet and go to test it with a water balloon and it ends up launching the balloon straight up, don't try to catch it unless you are intending to amuse your staff.
Not that I know about such things.

Random things. After posting the trebuchet meme I got this picture of my granddaughter making a catapult in daycare!
