Hulu Gets Jump On Fall TV

By Digital Trends Staff Published October 25, 2009

If you really can’t wait to see the season premieres of your favorite TV shows, then you might want to go to Hulu, the online TV venture created by NBC and News Corp.

Popular shows from both NBC and Fox will get an early online airing, including Bones, Prison Break, 30 Rock and Chuck.
Given that some believe Hulu’s ad revenue could soon pass that of YouTube, it’s not surprising it’s being given a hefty push with new episodes of popular shows.

The next challenge for getting to Mars: What happens to the human body in space

Jessica-Meir-and-Christina-Koch

From NASA's Moon to Mars program to Elon Musk's ambitious plan to send a million people to Mars by 2050, the race is on to get human feet on the red planet. With increasingly sophisticated rockets and robotics, the technological challenges standing in the way of this goal are fast being eroded.

But there might be a different issue which hampers plans to take people off-planet and send them out to explore the rest of the solar system. Strange things happen to the human body in space, and we're going to need to find ways to address these medical issues if we want to be able to send astronauts on long-duration missions like the several years that a Mars mission might require.

ISS gets a new research platform, Bartolomeo, attached to its exterior

The International Space Station (ISS) will soon be receiving a new research platform, Bartolomeo, which will play host to both scientific and commercial projects. Created by Airbus and hosted by the European Space Agency (ESA), the platform is heading to the ISS aboard a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft this weekend.

The platform provides an unpressurized environment with a good view of the Earth, not blocked by the ISS's solar cells. It will draw power from the station's Columbus module which is then distributed across the platform via 12 interfaces, providing power to the experiments or equipment on the platform. One interface can be operated by robot, similar to the Columbus module.

The talented engineers behind the likes of Atlas and Spot have also been working diligently on Handle, a highly versatile wheel-based robot designed for handling boxes weighing up to 33 pounds (15 kg), whether in a warehouse or for loading and unloading trucks and shipping containers.
