The Stratolaunch "Roc" is the world's largest aircraft by wingspan (385 ft—longer than a football field). Designed as an airborne launch pad, the massive twin-fuselage plane is powered by six Boeing 747 engines and can carry up to 500,000 lbs under its center wing. Credit:Photos
The Buddhist monk Luang Pho Daeng died while meditating in 1973. In accordance with his wishes, his mummified body was placed in a glass coffin and put on public display. Sunglasses were later placed over his empty eye sockets so that his appearance would not frighten small
@ChinaVideos1 A short clip like this is shocking, but it also needs context: what happened before the police entered, why they used force, and whether it was legally justified. In any country, police should be
Be careful if you are sitting in China in a restaurant, because it can happen that suddenly Chinese police storm in and throw you to the ground, even if you are a lady.

@oak_institute This is a crucial reframing of the “critical minerals” debate. If extraction is being driven as much by militarization, AI infrastructure, and corporate profit as by clean energy, then communities on
