• Pop star Katy Perry and journalist Gayle King are among six women who traveled aboard Blue Origin’s all-female, suborbital space tourism mission.

• The company’s New Shepard rocket lifted off from Blue Origin’s West Texas launch site around 9:30 a.m. ET Monday and landed safely about 10 minutes later.

• The flight soared well above the Kármán line, a point at 100 kilometers (62 miles) that is often used to define the altitude at which air space ends and outer space begins...

Tens of thousands of music fans will descend on the California desert this weekend for the first of two iterations of the Coachella Music and Arts festival outside of Palm Springs, Calif.

If you’re financing your festival tickets, honestly, who cares? You gotta flex that carefully staged Instagram shot in front of the Ferris wheel somehow, right? 

Nothing screams financial stability like throwing a $49 down payment on a $600 ticket, then praying your direct deposit hits before your third installment bounces.

You wouldn’t want your Instagram followers knowing the ugly truth right? That your credit score barely qualifies you to rent a scooter, let alone pretend you’re a VIP at Coachella.

I think we’ve done it folks.

This. 

Overpriced, inedible concessions at Coachella have outraged critics who are calling out the music festival for being a “money trap” as hundreds of thousands descended on the Southern California desert.

One influencer claimed she spent over $100 for her meal consisting of tacos and lemonade on the first night of Coachella on Friday, which pop megastar Lady Gaga headlined on the festival’s main stage.

Ruth Viveros, who has chronicled her experience in Coachella Valley since Friday, shared a glimpse into the food at the famous music festival.

As administrator of the Schumacher Center for a New Economics, I have spent decades trying to usher visionary, regenerative, and decentralist ideas into the American body politic. So have many of my counterparts in organizations across the country. But sometimes I think we’re no closer to making a difference on a national scale now than we were in the 1970s. What is holding us back?

Dire wolves went extinct around 12,000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age. Weighing around 150 pounds, they were about twice the size of today's gray wolves. Dire wolves roamed both North and South America, preying on ancient horses, camels, sloths, and bison.

Scientists are playing God once again, and although they may have recently achieved something admittedly cool, it’s all but doomed to backfire in the worst possible ways.

Biotech company Colossal Biosciences announced Monday that they have revived an extinct dire wolf species using “meticulously reconstructed” DNA from fossils that date back to 11,500 and 72,000 years. The company is calling the two wolves, aptly named Remus and Romulus in a nod to the myth of ancient Rome’s origins, the world’s first “de-extinct animals.” 

Romulus and Remus are doing what puppies do: chasing, tussling, nipping, nuzzling. But there’s something very un-puppylike about the snowy white 6-month olds—their size, for starters. At their young age they already measure nearly 4 ft. long, tip the scales at 80 lb., and could grow to 6 ft. and 150 lb. Then there’s their behavior: the angelic exuberance puppies exhibit in the presence of humans—trotting up for hugs, belly rubs, kisses—is completely absent. They keep their distance, retreating if a person approaches.
