the anti aging benefit of eating less may hinge on one immune protein yale study finds Slash a mouse's food intake by 40% and it might survive longer. It will also become worse at fighting off infections, reproduce less successfully, and grow poorly. Aging researchers have wrestled with that trade-off for decades, and it explains why no credible scientist has ever advised starving your way to your 90s.

roman space telescope buttoned up inside falcon heavy fairing ahead of aug 30 launch NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope vanished behind closed doors on Aug. 21. Inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, crews sealed a 43-foot shell around the observatory — and barring a serious setback, no one will lay eyes on it again.

spacex bets 100 billion on a louisiana starbase with construction set for 2027 After seven years of searching, the site that won out was a former Exxon tract in the marshland of Vermilion Parish. SpaceX intends to pour $100 billion into a second spaceport there, sitting west of New Orleans and roughly a 10-hour drive from the original Starbase in South Texas. Ground breaks in 2027, and the company says a Starship will lift off from the location in 2029.

trump signs space transportation policy ordering interior to find federal land for a new spaceport Fix one figure in your head: 1,000. That is the annual volume of launches and reentries the nation's space transportation ranges are expected to absorb by 2030 under the national space transportation policy President Donald Trump put his signature to on Thursday. For comparison, 176 orbital launch attempts lifted off from American soil last year.

a falcon 9 stage gouged a 60 foot crater into the moon and ula finally has a new chief Near Einstein Crater, a spent Falcon 9 upper stage slammed into the lunar surface and left behind a pit measuring about 60 feet wide and under 10 feet deep — and NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured the evidence. Ordinarily a space debris item like this barely registers. This one became a science opportunity.

672 antibodies rebuilt ai designed intrabodies take aim at alzheimers parkinsons and mnd from inside the cell The obstacle facing antibodies is an electrical one. That is the conclusion sitting at the heart of new research from the University of Essex, and it goes a long way toward explaining why decades of antibody development has largely stalled at the cell membrane.
