This week (and hopefully, in future weeks) I’ll be trying something a bit different – I think I can dig up enough links to do this twice a week. So enjoy those below, and stay tuned for a second roundup on the weekend! 🙂
Articles:
- Sunken WW1 U-boats a bonanza for historians.
- Caterpillars climb over each other in order to move faster. (h/t Christoph Nahr)

- “… a number of scientists say that — of all things — boredom is one of the biggest threats to a manned Mars mission, despite the thrill inherent in visiting another planet.”
- Wealth taxes: a future battleground. For a different (Australian) take on it, check out this article.
- The Space Shuttles Atlantis and Enterprise, two years after the end of the program.
