NHS surgeon Neil Hopper, once considered for space travel as a para-astronaut in 2020, has been sentenced to two years in prison after it was revealed he deliberately caused the loss of his own legs to satisfy an amputation fetish.

Defying gravity like never before! This iconic photo captures astronaut Bruce McCandless II on the first untethered spacewalk using the MMU—a jetpack-like device that changed space exploration forever. A true leap for future missions! Photo credit: NASA #Spacewalk #Astronaut #NASA

Even from space, Mount Fuji takes your breath away. Captured by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS), this stunning view shows Japan’s iconic volcano piercing through a sea of clouds—its nearly perfect cone rising 3,776 meters (12,389 feet) above sea level. Mount Fuji isn’t just the tallest peak in Japan—it’s a living symbol of endurance, beauty, and national pride. An active stratovolcano, its last eruption was in 1707, yet it continues to inspire climbers, artists, and spiritual seekers from around the world. From orbit, Earth’s natural wonders reveal their full majesty—and even familiar landmarks like Fuji take on a cosmic sense of scale and wonder. A sacred mountain seen from the stars.

Ever wondered where humanity and our robotic explorers have actually landed on the Moon? This map shows the historic touchdown sites of some of the most iconic lunar missions — from the legendary Apollo landings, to robotic Surveyor probes, Soviet Luna landers, and China’s recent Chang’e missions. The U.S. Apollo program (1969–1972) sent 12 astronauts to walk on the Moon — a feat still unmatched. NASA’s Surveyor missions helped test landing tech before the Apollo era. The Soviet Union’s Luna landers were the first to impact, orbit, and soft-land on the Moon. China made history with Chang’e-3 and Chang’e-4 — the first to land on the Moon's far side! Each dot on this Moon map represents years of planning, incredible science, and the dream of exploring beyond Earth.
