‘Drink to dust’: Startup says just smash its clay alternative to plastic cups
Disposable plastic and paper cups are an environmental mess. GaeaStar, a startup based in Berlin and San Francisco, thinks it can do better with just clay, water, salt and sand. After piloting disposable clay cups and bowls in Germany, GaeaStar says it is gearing up to introduce its products to the U.S. via a trial […]

Putin’s allies call for London to be ‘turned to dust’ after Ukraine said it would use Brit missiles to blitz Crimea
KREMLIN propagandists have called for London to be “turned to dust” after Ukraine said it would use Brit missiles.
The deranged ranting was part of a nightly show dedicated to pro-war discussion on state TV that’s hosted by a notorious Putin acolyte.
Tonight’s show featured discussion of a report in The Sun saying Kyiv said it would use the Storm Shadow missile if the UK was willing to provide it.
At one point host Vladimir Solovyov point bizarrely raised his hand as if to cast a spell, then stared manically at the screen and said: “London will turn to dust! To dust.”
Mad Vlad’s mouthpiece, his face twisted with rage, then switches to English and begins shouting: “Burn in hell!” and “Flames!”.
Solovyov was responding to one of the panellists who moaned: “The British press is saying ‘We’ll give them hell! I’m quoting verbatim frim their most popular paper The Sun.
“They all regard this as completely fine – ‘Russians can and need to be killed’. They’re saying that constantly.
“There’s one problem with Russians. They won’t give up as easily as that.”
The clip and its translation was tweeted by BBC Monitoring, which regularly posts on pro-Kremlin propaganda shows.
Volodymyr Zelensky asked for the 600mph missiles when he visited the UK recently with a shopping list of weapons.
Ukrainian defence sources Kyiv would be prepared to use the missiles to strike Crimea
It followed a warning from Zelensky that longer-range weapons from western allies would allow Ukraine to take the battle to areas occupied by Russian.
“It will allow us to make the evil completely retreat from our country by destroying its airbases deep in the occupied territories,” he said during his visit.
In response, Rishi Sunak said “nothing is off the table” when it comes to military support for Ukraine.
The government is still is still weighing up whether to send deadly Harpoon anti-ship missiles or surface-to-air Storm Shadows to arm Ukrainian defenders.
After Germany finally agree to send tanks, Solovyov, and other Kremlin propagandists threatened nuclear strikes on the West.
In a similar rant he claimed it meant Germany had joined the war.
“It’s time to send a clear, resolute message that we now consider Germany a direct party to the conflict, rekindling memories of World War Two.
“German tanks appearing [in Ukraine] will definitely mean we consider German territory, military bases and other sites as legitimate targets.”
Raging Moscow TV pundit Yevgeny Satanovsky said warheads should be launched on the German capital Berlin and the country’s parliament, the Bundestag.
“Flat, slightly radioactive, melted-down ground [will remain in its place].”
Ukrainian defenders are bracing for an assault that could include 1,800 tanks, 3,950 armoured vehicles, 400 fighter jets and 300 helicopters incoming from Russia.
However, NATO’s Secretary-General, Jens Stoltenberg, has said that Russia has already launched its new offensive and was “sending more troops, more weapons, more capabilities”.
Ukraine has been monitoring the military build-up as they continue to plea for Western support.

Magic in Veil Of Dust doesn’t make life easy, just slightly less hard
Hot diggedy daffodil, am I glad I picked Casual difficulty in Veil Of Dust. Unlike some games, Veil Of Dust doesn’t make it sound like any sort of concession; the middle difficulty is called Challenge, and says “it’s pretty tough – you’ve been warned”. I took the warning seriously, and thank God, because even the easiest difficulty had me pouring dandelion tea down my brother’s throat like he was doing a kegstand (and in the game).
Áine and Shane are a pair of Irish siblings who’ve moved to Oregon to start a new life, which, in the main story, involves eating potatoes and trying not to get depressed. It’s difficult enough that I didn’t think I would like it at first, as even basic tasks deplete your stamina and sleeping in your 1860s hovel with a hole in the roof doesn’t restore very much per night. Áine can do spells, but they’re simple and only really take the edge off what is a very hard life. Magic isn’t a cure-all in Veil Of Dust, and using it has to be weighed up, just like everything else.
Blue Origin made solar cells by smelting simulated Moon dust
Whether or not Blue Origin puts a lander on the Moon, it might play a key role in sustaining lunar operations. Jeff Bezos’ spaceflight company has revealed that it can produce solar cells and transmission wire using simulated Moon regolith. The firm’s Blue Alchemist technique uses molten electrolysis to separate the lunar soil’s aluminum, iron and silicon from bound oxygen to extract key materials. The process can build solar cells, cover glass and aluminum wire using only sunlight and the reactor’s silicon.
This approach would not only save explorers the trouble of importing material, but would be kinder to both the Moon and Earth. There are no carbon-based emissions, no chemicals and no need for water. The resulting solar cells can operate on the Moon for over a decade despite a “harsh” environment, Blue Origin claims.
As Ars Technicaexplains, Blue Origin is pitching this as a solution for NASA’s Artemis program and missions to Mars. The space agency could establish bases or other long-term installations while minimizing the environmental impact. While the concept of using regolith to build outposts isn’t new, earlier efforts have largely focused on habitats rather than the power supplying those off-world facilities.
Whether or not Blue Origin’s tech reaches NASA is another matter, as the company has a mixed relationship with the US administration. While NASA is backing the Orbital Reef space station and will use New Glenn to fly a science mission to Mars, it lost a key lunar lander contract to SpaceX and failed in its challenge of the $2.9 billion deal. As novel as Blue Alchemist tech may be, it’s not guaranteed to win business.
Physicists Propose Blasting Moon Dust Into Space to Fix Climate Change
In case you haven’t noticed, things are getting a little bit desperate when it comes to climate change. We need global solutions and meaningful action as of yesterday, but our political leaders and corporate overlords alike are mostly doubling down on the status quo. Enter: Theoretical physicists.
