Technique Critique - NASA Astronaut Breaks Down More Space Scenes From Film & TV

NASA astronaut Nicole Stott returns to examine more scenes depicting space from movies and television. Do space stations really have onboard AI like in "2001: A Space Odyssey?" Do blackout periods like the one shown in "Apollo 13" really happen on spaceflights? Would a robot like WALL-E survive in space?

When will we get a coronavirus vaccine? | WIRED Explains

We need a coronavirus vaccine to beat the pandemic, but that's a problem. Why? Because making a Covid-19 vaccine that works (and is safe) will take a long time. Even the most hopeful estimates suggest it could take a year, but some believe we may have to wait until the end of 2021 to have a working cure, and that's before we tackle the problem of immunising the whole world. In this video we explore the challenges facing those looking to create a coronavirus vaccine, how human trials work and explain why developing a cure for coronavirus will take such a long time. This video was produced as part of Digital Society, a publishing partnership between WIRED and Vontobel where all content is editorially independent.

How the Coronavirus Is Changing US Social Media Usage

When US consumers started spending more time at home during the pandemic, they also started using social media more, providing an unexpected boost to engagement on these platforms. The coronavirus has hastened the development and popularity of new live streaming, video chat and gaming features on social networks.

The Harris Poll conducted between late March and early May, found that between 46% and 51% of US adults were using social media more since the outbreak began. In the most recent May 1–3 survey, 51% of total respondents — 60% of those ages 18 to 34, 64% of those ages 35 to 49, and 34% of those ages 65 and up – reported increased usage on certain social media platforms.

Which consumer behavior trends on social media will continue after the pandemic and how can we prepare for any expected shifts?
