Japan’s Narita Airport opened in 1978 with one runway instead of the three in its master plan after fierce resistance from local farmers. Nearly 50 years later, farmer Takao Shito still grows vegetables on land enclosed by the airport, forcing a taxiway to curve around his fields. The second runway (opens the original)

Narita International Airport opened on 20 May 1978 with one runway, although its master plan called for three. The gap was not a minor construction delay. Fierce resistance from local farmers, joined by student activists, had turned the airport into one of modern Japan’s longest and bitterest disputes over land. Nearly half a century later, the unfinished argument is still visible in the pavement. Farmer Takao Shito has continued growing vegetables on enclosed land within the airport, and a taxi
Visitors steal tons of petrified wood from Arizona's Petrified Forest every year, and hundreds mail pieces back with letters blaming bad luck — but returned wood can't be re-placed, so rangers stack it in a "conscience pile" that keeps growing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Somewhere in Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park, off a private service road that no visitor is allowed to drive, sits a heap of rainbow-colored fossil wood that appears on no map and no exhibit. Rangers call it the conscience pile, and it is built entirely of petrified wood that guilt-stricken visitors stole and then mailed back — usually with a letter, and usually with the same explanation: since we took it, everything has gone wrong. The 200-million-year-old logs of the Petrified Forest,
As of September 2026, humanity has two continuously crewed space stations: China’s Tiangong, occupied without interruption since 2022, and the International Space Station. If the ISS retires around 2030 before replacement stations are ready, Tiangong could become the only permanently inhabited outpo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two space stations currently sustain uninterrupted human occupation in Earth orbit. The International Space Station has the longer record, with crews living aboard since November 2000. China’s Tiangong began its continuous occupancy in June 2022. As of September 2026, the proposed commercial stations intended to follow the ISS have yet to establish a comparable operating record. The risk is a break between the old station and its successors. If the ISS ends crewed operations before another conti
Europe has launched satellites aboard its own rockets for decades, but never from Western European soil; on 5 September 2026, German startup Isar Aerospace’s 28-metre Spectrum became the first rocket to reach orbit from the region, deploying five satellites from Arctic Norway on only its second flig (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At 10:12 pm local time on 5 September, a slender white rocket rose from an island above the Arctic Circle. The flight began at Isar Aerospace’s dedicated launch complex at Andøya Spaceport in northern Norway and ended with five small satellites released in orbit. Between those events, the 28-metre Spectrum passed maximum aerodynamic pressure, shut down its nine first-stage engines, separated, ignited its upper stage, crossed the 100-kilometre Kármán line and discarded its payload fairing. Isar s
Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore launched aboard Boeing’s Starliner in June 2024 for an eight-day test flight and came home on a SpaceX capsule 286 days later—not because they were chasing a record, but because NASA judged the propulsion problems on the spacecraft that carried them there too uncertai (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore lifted off on 5 June 2024 for Boeing Starliner’s first crewed test flight. The mission was expected to last about eight days. They returned on 18 March 2025 after 286 days in space, aboard a SpaceX Dragon rather than the spacecraft that had carried them to orbit. The extension was not a record attempt, a secret long-duration experiment or a decision by two astronauts who simply preferred to stay. Starliner developed additional helium leaks and lost reliable thrust
