University of Kansas anthropologist Justin Holcomb contends these items deserve preservation and cataloging to document this significant phase of human history. Holcomb’s new study, titled “Emerging Archaeological Record of Mars,” published in Nature Astronomy, emphasizes the need to treat human exploration materials on Mars as archaeological heritage. “Our main argument…
Despite recent chatter about The Boring Company using its tunnels for Hyperloop technology, high profile venture capitalist and Tesla and SpaceX board member Steve Jurvetson says that building smaller, short-range tunnels for electric vehicle transport is a realistic project that could change the entire concept of tunneling.

A proposed system of underground tunnels, first envisioned by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, would utilize electric skates that could be lowered into the ground and zipped to a destination. Musk recently demonstrated a working proof of concept of the elevator that…

The lawsuit was spearheaded by New York Attorney General Letitia James, a longtime Trump…
