Tsaparis Tscience: "Quasimodo" Finds New Home
Posted

TALLAHASSEE (WTXL) - SpaceX released a fascinating video showing how it plans on getting humans back to earth safely. It shows the Dragon 2 capsule and its 8 thrusters hovering in place for 5 seconds. When returning astronauts back to earth, the thrusters could theoretically slow the descent and set the capsule down on the launch pad without any parachutes.

If you've worried about drones taking over the world, fear no more. A new gun can stop small drones without destroying them. A company out of Ohio created what they call DroneDefender. It uses radio control frequency to stop and bring down drones intact and prevents it from self-destructing. That's important because small drones are being used for Ariel surveillance. The gun has a range of over 400 yards.

 He was once voted the "most ugly dog”, but Quasimodo now has a new, loving foster home in Minnesota. He was born with a rare condition called "short spine syndrome". Because of his condition, he can't turn his head. Quasimodo doesn't let his condition affect his personality; he's very affectionate and loves to play.
