Over the past 60 years or so of space exploration, humans have left some things behind: bits of satellites, moon buggies, Mars rovers, even human excrement. It’s all part of the countless bits of human-made material that some people have dubbed “space junk.”
But what if, many, many years from now, archeologists wanted to trace the chronology of space exploration by examining the items we left in our wake? A new paper in the journal Nature Astronomy argues just this, that artifacts should be considered heritage, rather than trash.
Lead author Dr. Justin Holcomb, assistant research professor at the University of Kansas, joins Ira to discuss shifting our mindset on “space junk.”
Dr. Justin Holcomb is an assistant research professor at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas.

Ira Flatow is the founder and host of Science Friday. His green thumb has revived many an office plant at death’s door.
This may be the first time space junk will collide with the moon.
In this excerpt from “Archaeology from Space,” Sarah Parcak recounts who inspired her to become a space archaeologist, from her grandfather to Indiana Jones.

Sega’s iconic block-breaker Cosmic Smash (2001) came to VR for the first time last summer in C-Smash VRS (2023) on PSVR 2. Now the studios say the futuristic racket sport is set to leave platform exclusivity as it’s scheduled to arrive on Quest and Pico headsets in April.

Studios RapidEyeMovers and Wolf & Wood announced C-Smash VRS is coming to Quest 2/3/Pro and Pico 4 starting on April 4th.
Players of the game will also see some new features, including the addition of cross-platform Global Leaderboards which will let players challenge one another’s top positions across multiple game modes.

The studios say we can also look forward to cross-platform multiplayer at some point, as it’s certainly “on the future roadmap,” but no word on when.
You may remember the original when it launched on Sega Dreamcast in 2001, or when it came to arcades throughout Europe and Japan. C-Smash VRS brings an immersive twist to Cosmic Smash’s low gravity squash-meets-blockbreaker gameplay, including single player, co-op, 1v1 multiplayer modes, and an AI vs. mode.
In addition to expanding the racket sport to other VR platforms, C-Smash VRS will also give new users a nostalgic taste of Cosmic Smash’s iconic OST, bringing an inspired score by DJ Ken Ishii (Rez Infinite), Danalogue (The Comet is Coming, Soccer 96), and UK music legends UNKLE.

I’ve been waiting for this announcement. Really liked the demo on PSVR2 and I refrained from port begging to not take away from the momentum of the release on that platform, but this kind of active game is really better suited for a wireless headset.
I want house of the dead vr 🙁
I want Panzer Dragoon VR. They said they were doing that, but I think it died on the vine.
I hope it comes to Steam with graphical enhancements, but glad it’s not exclusive anymore. Hope we also get Astrobot from the PSVR1 and other PSVR2 exclusives.

CHARLES TOWN — Following approval by the West Virginia Racing Commission, Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races has launched their 2025 live racing calendar. In addition to the calendar launch, Charles Town Races has announced that there will be a 5% overnight purse increase that will take effect on 2025’s opening night.
Racing for the year will commence on Thursday, January 2. A total of 160 nights of racing are scheduled.
Action will occur Wednesday through Saturday for the months of January, February, November and December. The only exception to the schedule will be on Thursday, November 27, when the races will be paused for Thanksgiving.
For the remainder of the year, action will occur Thursday through Saturday.
In special events, the Charles Town Classic is scheduled for Friday, August 22, and the West Virginia Breeders’ Classics are scheduled for Saturday, October 11. The Charles Town Classic has a post time of 5 p.m. and the Breeders Classics’ post time has yet to be announced. All other races throughout the year will have a post time of 7 p.m.
Charles Town intends on submitting their stakes schedule for the year in the coming weeks. The submission will include the stakes for the Charles Town Classic, Charles Town Oaks, Robert Hilton Memorial, Misty Bennett Pink Ribbon and West Virginia Breeders’ Classics.
Last year’s Charles Town Classic (GII) featured a $1 million purse, which was the highest monetary reward of the year. The second highest purse of the year was the Charles Town Oaks (GII) at $750,000, which was the race that preceded the Classic on the same night. The Robert Hilton Memorial and Misty Bennett Pink Ribbon each had a purse of $500,000.
The vast majority of Charles Town’s non-graded races had a purse of $75,000 throughout 2024. Now with the overnight purse increase, those races will have a purse of $78,750 in 2025.
