There are vast quantities of water ice on the Moon that represent the potential for extraction and use in rocket fuel. But there are no practical reasons to mine this water.
We live in a world in which momentous decisions are made by people often without forethought. But some things are predictable, including that if you continually consume a finite resource without recycling, it will eventually run out.
Yet, as we set our sights on embarking back to the Moon, we will be bringing with us all our bad habits, including our urge for unrestrained consumption.

The exec talks candidly about the effort to mine archives for film and TV projects, weathering an advertising downturn and a commitment to high quality digital video.
When the Newhouse family tapped veteran media executive Roger Lynch in 2019 to lead the crown jewel of their holdings, Condé Nast, he inherited a company of fiefdoms. Its magazines, infamously, competed with one another for advertisers and cover stars, while Condé’s international business was its own silo. Now three and a half years into the job, Lynch has tried to unify the company into one organization and has shifted investment toward digital and video, turning a storied magazine-company brand into a leading multiplatform player.

Higher fossil energy prices and concerns about energy supply disruptions are driving the acceleration of wind, solar and other renewables, the International Energy Agency says.
The global energy crisis sparked by Russia’s war in Ukraine has “sparked unprecedented momentum” for renewable energy, according to a report Tuesday from the International Energy Agency.
IEA projected that global renewable energy capacity will increase by 2,400 gigawatts between 2022 and 2027—an 85 percent jump in comparison to the growth rate in the last five years. Renewables will overtake coal as the world’s largest electricity source by 2025, the report said.

Codes are often associated with mystery and secrets. But, sometimes, they provide clarity and consistency in our ever-changing world.
We are living through a time of unprecedented change. But while the latest innovations often make headlines, we take for granted some of the most crucial systems that support us in our daily lives – and keep us connected.
Have you ever tried making an international online payment or wiring money abroad? As of 2021, 76 % of the global population owns a bank account. A financial transfer between two different countries would be fraught with security risks if there wasn’t an unequivocal, unique code to identify the sending and receiving accounts. Thanks to the IBAN code system, billions of transactions like these happen seamlessly every day.

Consider Dylan Selterman among the few people who truly, genuinely, can't wait to hear all about your dream. Teeth falling out? Do tell. Unprepared for a final exam? Sure. His ears especially perk up when he hears someone say they've woken up angry about something their romantic partner did in a dream.
You can classify Selterman, an associate teaching professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, as Johns Hopkins' new resident dream expert. Earlier this year, he brought to Hopkins his DREAM—that's short for Dreams, Relationships, Emotions, Attraction, and Morality—Lab, which studies what our dreams might be telling us, the psychology of attraction and infidelity, and how the two often overlap.

Custa admitir, mas tem de ser: é raro darmos conta da paisagem lá em cima, a não ser quando as notícias sobre fenómenos astronómicos pontuais – como chuvas de meteoros, eclipses e super luas – invadem as redes sociais. De repente, não há ninguém que não queira olhar para o céu, mas a beleza celestial está disponível o ano inteiro, com as suas estrelas, planetas, galáxias e cometas.

Bombardear civis e instalações elétricas na Ucrânia continua a ser a estratégia de Moscovo. A guerra está cada vez mais fria e assassina.
A Ucrânia reconheceu que não tem capacidade para restaurar a 100% a sua infraestrutura elétrica – que foi seriamente danificada pelos constantes ataques russos – e quem sofre são os civis. Essa é, até agora, a única ‘vitória’ do Presidente russo, que fez saber, durante uma reunião no Kremlin, que o exército está preparado para ficar na Ucrânia durante muito tempo e que, neste momento, não faz sentido mobilizar mais soldados.
