This church in Iceland was inspired by the country's volcanic landscape.
Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavík was designed by architect Guðjón Samúelsson, who drew inspiration from Iceland's basalt columns, mountains, and glaciers.
Its dramatic concrete façade rises in a series of stepped vertical forms, echoing the geological formations found across the island.
Construction began in 1945 and was completed in 1986, making it one of Iceland's most recognizable architectural landmarks.

Where is the best soil for growing future crops on Mars?
New work suggests it's "found around the planet’s middle latitudes, including around Tharsis, central Arabia Terra, and Elysium Planitia. However, this soil type is only found on 0.14 percent of the planet’s surface."
@TheMarsSociety this may interest you.

🧬 At Just 15, He Earned a Doctorate in Quantum Physics. Now He Wants to Tackle Aging.
What if the next breakthrough in human longevity came from a teenager?
Meet Laurent Simons, a Belgian prodigy who reportedly earned his PhD in quantum physics at the University of Antwerp in November 2025. His research explored the strange behavior of particles in superfluids and supersolids, two unusual states of matter.
But his scientific journey doesn't stop there. His next goal is to explore artificial intelligence and longevity through further doctoral research in Munich, Germany.
His dream? To help people stay healthier for longer.
Can science eventually slow the biological processes that make us age? No one has found a way to stop human aging, but researchers are exploring new ways to understand and prevent age-related diseases.
At just 15, Laurent is entering a field filled with enormous questions. Could his generation bring us closer to understanding the secrets of aging?

Skinny jeans, plate carriers, and a modified MCX. German SEK officers don't always look the part until the moment they need to.
SEK teams are the tactical police units of the individual German states. They're called in for the jobs regular police aren't equipped to handle: armed suspects, hostage situations, and high-risk arrests. That work doesn't always come with time to change into full kit, and sometimes blending in is the point.
The loadout here is a modified MCX alongside the MP7, a compact PDW that has become a familiar sight across European police tactical units. It's a serious pairing, worn with whatever was on when the call came in.
Would you roll out like this?

ELON MUSK: “My political views are very centrist. They’re not far right. Frankly, calling them far right is an insult to history and an insult to many people. It is an outrageous falsehood. It’s completely absurd. I have literally stated my position, and I’ve been very clear about this: there need to be secure borders.
If there’s an influx of immigrants, then they need to be people who agree with Western ideals and Western values. If there is long-term growth of people who do not, or in some cases are adamantly opposed to Western values, you are setting yourself up for civil war. This is obvious. A child can see this, but this is not a right wing view. I'm simply stating reality.”

On this day in 1963, a cat named Félicette became a feline space traveler when she launched into space on a mission conducted by the French space program. The spaceflight, which Félicette survived, was suborbital and lasted less than 15 minutes.

BRILLIANT: A longer board makes small waves worth the paddle.
Extra length helps carry speed through softer sections; a shortboard offers tighter turns but needs more wave power to keep moving.

Trillionaire mindset be like: I don’t know how to do something, but I’ll figure it out. I’ll learn.
“I still have a tremendous amount to learn about chip making. I don't know how to make chips, to be clear. I have no idea how to make chips, but we'll figure it out. Got to start somewhere. I had no idea how to make cars or rockets as well.”

I’ve spent a few days thinking about the Tesla Roadster reveal and landed somewhere I haven’t seen much discussion. I’m neither a Tesla fanboy nor a Tesla hater. And I couldn’t care less whether what we saw technically qualifies as a flying car. Three takeaways: (1) The risk of that live demonstration going horribly wrong was real. Almost no CEO would willingly expose their company to that kind of public humiliation for a product with so little financial upside. Elon did. (2) That willingness to attempt the seemingly impossible is what makes Tesla special. It’s also arguably Elon’s greatest contribution to America. He’s helped bring back something we’ve lost. The American spirit of chasing big scary ideas that most people think are impossible. That mindset is spreading across a new generation of founders and its long term impact on America’s future could dwarf anything Tesla ever sells. I think this is deeply underappreciated. (3) Can we just acknowledge how insanely cool that moment was? We’ve reached a strange place culturally where even extraordinary feats of human ingenuity immediately become arguments about why they don’t count. Not everything needs to be a debate. Sometimes we should just be able to stand back together and marvel at what humans are capable of. I’ve been both bullish and critical of Tesla’s ambitions over the years. But watching Elon and his team push the boundaries of what’s possible reminds me why I’m glad we have him. Whether the Roadster ever makes Tesla a dollar or impacts $TSLA stock price is almost beside the point. We need more people willing to risk failure in pursuit of things the rest of us think are impossible. Because when they succeed we all win.
