🟠 NEW: #Texas A&M researchers built RoboBall III, a 150 kg inflatable sphere that rolls over rough ground by shifting a pendulum inside its shell.
Because a sphere cannot tip over, the #design may handle the steep, permanently dark #craters near the #Moon’s south pole where frozen #water may hide. A #rover would release it downhill, and the ball would launch collected samples back. The #concept still needs testing against extreme #lunar conditions.

#Trump's rush to build #nuclear reactors across the U.S. raises safety worries
December 17, 2025
"Critics, however, worry that the tight July 4 deadline, political pressure and a lack of transparency are all compromising safety. Even a 'small' release of #radioactive material could cause damage to #people and the #environment around the test sites.
"This is not normal, and this is not OK, and this is not going to lead to success," warned #AllisonMacfarlane, a professor at the University of British Columbia who served as chairman of the #NRC under President Barack Obama. 'This is how to have an accident.' "
