To be completely clear. At the altitude at which a Mach 10 hypersonic aircraft would be flying, the ejection would be very survivable, the reentry into the atmosphere in just a pressure suit, not so much.

There are wolves in British Columbia known as "sea wolves": 90% of their food comes from the sea. They have distinct DNA setting them apart from interior wolves and they're entirely dedicated to the sea, swimming several miles everyday in search of seafood buff.ly/3r037t9

Yes, it’s the weekend. But in Ukraine it’s anything but a weekend. Think for a minute of the children, the mums and dads, the young men and women bravely trying to defend their country, the wounded and the dying. Let all our thoughts be with them all this weekend.

Big jet of fire in the Caspian Sea off Azerbaijan at ~9:30pm local time on the 4th of July.
First official reports say its a big offshore mud volcano eruption.
This may be the Makarov Bank mud volcano, which did exactly this in 1958.
Let's start a quick evolving thread!

Hayabusa2 brought back 5.4 grams!
The samples from asteroid Ryugu in the re-entry capsule weigh about 5.4g! This greatly exceeds the the target yield of 0.1g (the amount required for the initial scientific analysis) set during the design of Hayabusa2.
