NASA awarded Blue Origin $172 million to develop a space station for both astronauts and tourists. The space station, called Orbital Reef, will need to be able to support human life. AdvertisementThe International Space Station won't be around forever, and NASA is pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into its potential replacements. One promising candidate is Orbital Reef — a joint venture between Jeff Bezos's space company Blue Origin and Sierra Space. "Think spacious modules with large windows to view Earth, our blue origin, while experiencing the thrill of weightlessness in complete comfort," Blue Origin states on its website.

Astronauts use specific tools to cut their hair in space, a NASA spokesperson told Reuters, after some social media users questioned how they could float in space for months on end with groomed hair. A photo of the vacuum attached to clippers used to cut astronauts’ hair while in space can be seen on the NASA site (here). As for shaving facial hair, astronauts use “the same razors and creams that we use here on Earth,” Bleacher said. Astronauts trimming and shaving hair in space has been documented by space agencies. Astronauts use special clippers with a vacuum attachment to cut their hair while in space, and space agencies have documented the process online.
☆ SpaceX astronaut says he saw rainforests burning and dried-up lakes when he looked at the Earth from space

Astronaut Matthias Maurer said he saw burning rainforests and dried-up lakes from space. Dark and light green areas distinguish the rainforests and agricultural activities, Maurer said. Astronauts can see from the ISS the impact that the climate crisis is having on Earth, he said. When observing Earth from space, you can see dark green areas, which are rainforests, and light green areas, which are agricultural areas, Maurer said. "Somehow there are very, very many fires exactly on the border between the dark green and the light green," he said.

CNN —The first in a series of end-of-the-year spacewalks kicked off Tuesday morning outside the International Space Station. First-time spacewalkers and NASA astronauts Josh Cassada and Frank Rubio began their excursion outside the space station at 9:14 a.m. 🔧🌏 pic.twitter.com/kM1tw7ng50 — International Space Station (@Space_Station) November 15, 2022The hardware was delivered to the space station on November 9 aboard a Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus spacecraft, which safely delivered its cargo despite only one of its two solar arrays deploying after launch. This hardware will allow for the installation of more rollout solar arrays, called iROSAs, to give the space station a power boost. The thin orange pieces have been placed in different parts of the helmet, which has already been tested on orbit by the astronauts inside the space station.

"At the beginning of the war, the whole country went dark at night," German astronaut Matthias Maurer said in May, adding, "People actually only recognized Kyiv."

"Then you could also see the impacts in the first days of the war. In Kyiv, you could see lightning at night," as well as the "rockets that hit," he added, according to Newsweek.
