Two Chinese astronauts just set a new spacewalking record for the country. Ye Guangfu and Li Guangsu, two members of China’s three-person Shenzhou 18 mission, spent about 8.5 hours working outside the Tiangong space station today (May 28). That’s longer than any previous Chinese spacewalk, or extravehicular activity (EVA), according to the nation’s state-run Xinhua …

Earth orbit is becoming increasingly polluted. NASA estimates that at least 500,000 pieces of debris 1 cm or greater circle our planet; ESA estimates more than 1 million. As the number of spacecraft we launch into orbit or beyond grows, so too does the amount of debris we leave in their wake. Uncontrolled debris is …
