Getting into space is hard – so much so that, nearly 50 years after we put a man on the Moon, there are still only a handful of nations with the funds and technical capabilities to launch rockets into orbit and beyond. In a move that could finally open access to space for developing countries around the world, the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) have recently announced plans for the first ever dedicated UN space mission to low-Earth orbit..>> view originalFrightening Megalodon and Great White Shark Relative Described
A relative of megalodon, the infamous, extinct megatoothed shark, has been identified by an international research team. The newly described shark, named Megalolamna paradoxodon, lived during the early Miocene epoch, some 20 million years ago. The long extinct creature belongs to a shark group called Lamniformes, which includes the modern day great white and mako sharks. Terrifying fossilised teeth, measuring up to 4.5 centimetres (1.8 inches) long, were the basis of the discovery. Megalolamna ..>> view original
