The UCLA Police Department is grieving the loss of K-9 Blake, who passed away yesterday due to a medical condition.
Blake served with loyalty, energy, and heart throughout his career, supporting critical operations and bringing positivity to those around him. He retired in December 2025 after 6.5 years of dedicated service.
Rest easy, K-9 Blake. 🐾🙏

True Size of NASA’s Lunar Module: Smaller Than You Think, Braver Than You Imagine At first glance, it looks almost comically fragile — like a shiny aluminum spider with foil skin and toothpick legs. But that’s the illusion.This is the Apollo Lunar Module (LM), the only vehicle in history that carried humans to the surface of another world.Standing just 7 meters tall (about the height of a two-story house), it was built as light as possible because every extra kilogram had to be blasted off the Moon again. Fully fueled, it weighed around 15,100 kg — yet that mass included everything needed to land, survive, and return.It never had to fly through air or fight wind. In the vacuum of space and the Moon’s gentle gravity (1/6th of Earth’s), it could afford to look delicate. Those thin struts and gold-colored mylar blankets were masterpieces of engineering — tough enough to survive the harsh lunar environment while staying feather-light.Its four landing legs spread wide for stability on the unknown, cratered surface. Above them sat a tiny ascent stage, barely big enough for two astronauts to stand shoulder-to-shoulder in their bulky spacesuits. No seats. No luxury. Just the absolute minimum space required to operate controls, sleep in shifts, and stay alive.And somehow, this delicate-looking machine did the impossible:Land softly on the Moon
Support two explorers for days
Carry a folded Lunar Rover on some missions
Blast off again using its own engine
Rendezvous perfectly with the Command Module in lunar orbit
All of it 240,000 miles from Earth, with no second chances.When you truly grasp its size and what it achieved, the Lunar Module stops looking “too small.” It starts looking like one of the greatest feats of engineering and courage in human history.Still think it looks too flimsy to land on the Moon? Think again.

The world’s only supersonic seaplane, the Convair F2Y Sea Dart, seen skipping across the water as test pilot B.J. Long wrestled it into the air. It was designed for the United States Navy as a carrier-independent fighter using retractable hydro-skis, the program was plagued by violent vibration, underpowered engines, and difficult water takeoffs. Following the fatal 1954 breakup of a prototype flown by Charles E. Richbourg, the project was ultimately cancelled in 1957.
