CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The two NASA astronauts who led the Artemis II moonshot earlier this year are stepping away from spaceflight. NASA announced Wednesday that Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman and pilot Victor Glover will no longer serve as active astronauts but will continue to support the moon exploration program as emeritus astronauts. Glover has taken a leadership job at his alma mater, California Polytechnic State University, while Wiseman’s future plans weren’t disclosed. They flew around the moon in April with two other astronauts, setting a new distance record for humanity. Artemis II’s Jeremy Hansen retired from the…

Brian Bengs says he is running for the U.S. Senate in South Dakota on the “cowboy code of the West,” meaning he will do two things if elected into the exclusive chamber: tell the truth, and take care of neighbors. Bengs is a U.S. Navy veteran who is no stranger to running for office. In 2022, he ran as a Democrat for a U.S. Senate seat against then-Senate Minority Whip John Thune, who attained roughly 70% of the vote and is now the Senate majority leader. Rounds, a former two-term governor in the state, was first elected in 2014 and…

Michael Barasch has been one of the staunchest advocates on behalf of roughly 500,000 civilians, law enforcement and first responders who have suffered from countless diseases correlated to the World Trade Center attacks 25 years ago. Barasch, an attorney at the New York City-based law firm Barasch & McGarry, was instrumental in working on behalf of more than 140,000 survivors and first responders who have benefited over the years from World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP) funding approved after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that included victims at the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pa. WTCHP is defined by the…

A $533 million artillery factory built to help replenish America’s supply of 155 mm shells instead became plagued by robot fires, malfunctioning equipment and production failures, ultimately failing to deliver a single usable shell, according to a ProPublica piece. Outside of Dallas, the General Dynamics facility was intended to become a central piece of the Army’s effort to dramatically expand artillery production following the ammunition that has been lost in recent world events. Instead, the Army halted two of that facility’s three production lines in Aug.2025 after General Dynamics missed eight deadlines. As reported by ProPublica, inside the plant, there…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadWhat throws most preppers off course isn’t a lack of commitment—it’s friction. Life piles on. Focus fades. And sometimes, without realizing it, you’re slogging through life reacting to it, instead of being as effective as you know you can. Prepping is a process, and like any process, it can drift. Over time, life happens, priorities shift, and we need a mental tune-up. The danger isn’t always external—it often comes from inside the system: our mindset, decisions, and day-to-day actions. The good news? If you can spot the drift early, you can fix it. Here…
With the details of the signed Memorandum of Understanding still unclear, it does appear, for all intents and purposes, that the United States has lost the war with Iran. That means Pete Hegseth, the first Secretary of War, has lost a war. As if the US couldn’t look more foolish, the MoU gives the US nothing it wanted when it comes to the military objectives it was pursuing in Iran. The only big “accomplishment” is that Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but not “toll-free” as US President Donald Trump claimed. But the vital waterway was open before the…
If you ask me (and I imagine other women), there is no greater hell than trying to buy pants. Every pair of pants fits differently, and sizes can be wildly inconsistent across brands. Now add the dimension of trying to find functional, durable pants that can perform in the outdoors. Oftentimes, it feels like I have a better shot at finding the Holy Grail than I do a pair of comfortable, high-quality hiking/climbing pants. After years of trying countless pairs of pants, I can say with confidence I’ve finally found my Holy Grail: the prAna Halle Pants ($98). These pants…
With the Supreme Court unanimously ruling that Ali Danial Hemani’s Second Amendment rights were violated when he was arrested and prosecuted for possessing a firearm while “regularly” using marijuana, does this mean that every pot smoker or drug user is now free and clear to exercise their Second Amendment rights without fear of criminal charges? Nope. The Court was clear that this was a narrow decision, and did not strike down Section 922(g)(3) in its entirety. In fact, it left the door wide open for federal prosecutions (and arrests) to continue, so long as the…
NBA star James Harden was reportedly arrested early Saturday morning in Houston on a misdemeanor weapons charge after police allegedly observed a handgun inside his vehicle during a traffic stop, according to reporting from KTLA. The 36-year-old former MVP was later released on a $100 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on June 22. At first glance, it may sound like a straightforward gun case. Then you start reading the details. According to multiple reports cited by KTLA, the handgun was allegedly in plain view inside Harden’s vehicle and was not being carried in a holster. That’s where…
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is poised to be a hum-dinger of a game when it launches next year. That’s because, regardless of how it actually lands with audiences and critics, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will be a AAA powerhouse, if the glitzy, expensive Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is any indication of its scale and scope. Revelation is also likely to land with a bang for another, more emotional reason: it’s the conclusion of the Final Fantasy 7 remake saga, which kicked off more than six years ago with Final Fantasy 7 Remake. As such, it’s going to reveal the many…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadIf you’ve spent any time in the prepping world, you’ve thought long and hard about the X. The event. The disaster. The fight. The day it all goes sideways. You’ve worked on plans to get through it—the food, the water, the gear, the skills. Good. That’s the work. But here’s the question almost nobody preps for: what happens to your mind after you make it through? That’s the heart of my conversation with Kris Hasenauer on episode 308 of the Mind4Survival podcast. Kris is a former Green Beret with the 20th Special Forces Group…
