Gear Up! Moonshot Looms as Shiffrin Faces Loss & Coffee Gets Caffeinated

Astronauts Set to Return to the Moon After 54-Year Hiatus

After a 54-year absence, astronauts are preparing to return to the moon, potentially as early as this year, according to Time. The last time astronauts ventured near the moon was in 1968. This new mission represents a significant advancement in technology and capabilities compared to the Apollo era.

The Apollo 8 mission in 1968, which first sent astronauts to orbit the moon, had two possible mission profiles, one safer and one riskier, according to Time. Susan Borman, wife of mission commander Frank Borman, expressed concerns at the time about potentially harming the moon.

In other news, Mikaela Shiffrin, the American alpine skiing superstar, faced a setback in November 2024 while pursuing her 100th World Cup victory in Vermont, Time reported. During her second run in the giant slalom, Shiffrin slipped, struck a gate, and crashed into protective netting, suffering a stab wound through her abdominal muscles. The injury required surgery and rehabilitation, jeopardizing her participation in the 2025 World Championships.

Meanwhile, in the realm of consumer technology, Wired highlighted several top-performing products in recent reviews. The Fellow Aiden Precision Coffee Maker was named the best overall drip coffee maker, while the Zojirushi Zutto 5-Cup Drip Coffeemaker was recognized as the best budget option. Wired also tested open earbuds, noting their growing popularity due to their design that allows users to remain aware of their surroundings. The Soundcore by Anker Aeroclip was named the best open earbuds for most users, while the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds were recognized as the best premium option. In addition, Wired featured the Rab Khroma Freeride Gore-Tex Gloves as their favorite ski gloves.
