TALLAHASSEE (WTXL) -- A fire in space is one of the worst things that can happen for an astronaut. But now, NASA scientists will purposely light a fire on a cargo capsule in order to monitor how fires spread in outer space.

The tech company says it’s recovered more than a ton of gold from recycled I-phones in the past year. They came from broken devices dropped off by owners.

The main goal is to help runners have a more comfortable experience, and relieve stress to the feet.
