Spacesuits damaged the fingernails of 22 out of 179 U.S. astronauts studied, including 18 men and four women — but 27 of the 31 injuries happened not during spacewalks, but underwater in NASA’s giant training pool (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty-two American astronauts have had a fingernail peel away from the nail bed on the job. Most of them managed it without leaving Houston. Doctors call this onycholysis, and it is a common enough complaint on Earth. Cleaners get it. So do nurses, dishwashers and anyone whose hands spend long days sealed inside damp gloves. What sets the astronaut version apart is the paperwork. NASA has been quietly logging these cases for four decades, which turns a minor gross-out into one of the best-docum
Nobody on the International Space Station does laundry, so underwear is budgeted for two days and pants for 30 — NASA has estimated about 75 kilograms of clean clothing per astronaut per year, while the dirty clothes are packed into departing cargo ships and eventually burn up in the atmosphere (opens the original)

Somewhere above your head right now, a person with a doctorate is deciding whether a pair of underpants has one more day in them. There is no washing machine on the International Space Station. No laundry, no clothesline, no sneaky rinse in the sink, because every drop of water up there is recycled from sweat, breath and urine, and none of it can be spared for a wash cycle. Clothes go up clean, get worn until they are unpleasant, then get thrown out. The allowances are oddly specific. European S
For years, up to 1,500 people a day filed past the 17,000-year-old paintings at Lascaux in France, until the carbon dioxide in their breath started growing crystals and lichen on the walls — so the government sealed the cave in 1963 and later built visitors an exact replica a couple of hundred meter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In September 1940, four teenagers and a dog stumbled into a hole in a hillside near Montignac, in southwestern France, and found themselves standing inside a painted Ice Age cathedral. The walls of the Lascaux cave were covered in bulls, horses, stags and abstract signs — some 600 paintings and nearly 1,500 engravings, laid down more than 17,000 years ago and sealed in the dark ever since. They had survived, in near-perfect condition, for the entire span of human civilization and then some. They
Almost every new car now comes in white, black, grey or silver, four non-colours making up around 80 percent of the market, up from under half in the 1990s, and it isn't that buyers stopped liking colour, it's that dealers stopped stocking it and fleet buyers flooded the used market so heavily that (opens the original)

Walk through the car park of any supermarket in Europe, North America, or Australia in 2026 and count the colours. You’ll see a lot of white cars. A lot of black cars. A lot of grey cars. A handful of silver cars. Between them, those four shades will account for around eighty per cent of every vehicle in the lot. If you’re lucky, you might spot a blue one. If you’re very lucky, a red one. Green, yellow, orange, and every other colour a car might come in are now so rare on the road that spotting
In one Indonesian community the dead are not buried for weeks, months or even years, and are kept at home and cared for as if sleeping until the family can afford an elaborate funeral, a practice that reframes death as a slow departure rather than a single moment. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Torajan people live in the mountainous highlands of South Sulawesi. There are roughly 1.1 million of them. They grow rice on terraced fields. They live in distinctive stilted houses called tongkonan with enormous curved roofs shaped like boats. Most are Christian following a century of Dutch missionary presence in the region. And they have a set of funeral practices unlike anything else in the modern world. When a Torajan dies at home the body is not immediately buried. It stays in the famil
