I love the “idea” of travelling in space, and the science behind it, but I wish we could put all our efforts $$$ on discovering our own alien landscapes and beings, instead of sending teslas out in space or whatever. You could argue, why not both, and I would agree, but protecting and exploring our own planet just seems so much more important now.

Right. Why not both?

‘Total chaos’: Monkey blamed for nationwide power cut in Sri Lanka | Sri Lanka | The Guardian
“A monkey came into contact with our grid transformer, causing an imbalance in the power system,” the energy minister, Kumara Jayakody, told reporters.
The Ceylon Electricity Board issued an apology for the Sunday blackout but did not explain how one incident could have had such widespread repercussions. There was no word on the fate of the monkey.
I think I have a pretty good idea of what happened to that poor monkey during the "imbalance in the power system."

Turkmenistan reduces 50-year fire dubbed 'Gateway to Hell'

Turkmenistan said Thursday it had significantly reduced a gas fire that has been raging for half a century at a site dubbed the "Gateway to Hell" .

The fire has been burning in the Karakum desert since 1971, when Soviet scientists accidentally drilled into an underground pocket of gas and then decided to ignite it.

The blaze has been spewing out massive quantities of methane, a gas that contributes to climate change, ever since.

Those boat hating orcas are back with a vengeance.

'We completely freaked out': Orcas are attacking boats in Europe again
Orcas along the Spanish coast are attacking boats once again, leaving destroyed rudders and stranded crews in their wake.

A small population of orcas (Orcinus orca), or killer whales, has developed a penchant for damaging boats off the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe in recent years. Researchers are still studying this behavior, but they think the orcas are likely being playful rather than aggressive.

On Aug. 21, orcas tore the rudder off a German sailboat in the Vigo estuary in Galicia, Spanish newspaper Faro de Vigo reported. The orcas then continued to play with the sailboat, which they rammed as it was towed to safety.
This seems to be the efforts of a single subpopulation of orcas off the coast of Spain and Portugal. They're not a pod; they're a gang.
