Foo Fighters

Was Dave Grohl's talent ignored in Nirvana?

Sting was an ecologically-conscious yogi hipster before it was even a thing. He's always been fighting for our right to enjoy a better future than the one we are making for ourselves. Perhaps a strange mission for someone with punk musical roots?

Space researchers are trying to understand how the human body reacts without gravity. Could we need it to live?
