What happened: Mobile internet and voice networks have been intermittently failing across central Moscow and parts of St. Petersburg since early March, with the Kremlin citing security measures against Ukrainian threats. The disruptions have cost Moscow's economy an estimated 3 to 5 billion rubles over five days, severely affecting courier services, taxis, and retailers reliant on digital payments.
Why it matters: Human rights groups suspect Russia is testing a 'whitelist' system that would restrict internet access to only government-approved websites and apps, similar to Iran's model. Authorities are simultaneously pushing citizens toward the state-backed MAX app, which experts believe is monitored by intelligence agencies, while blocking WhatsApp, Facebook, and YouTube, with Telegram potentially next in April.

ISS Mouse Study Pinpoints Gravity Needed to Prevent Muscle Loss
Left 75%

The discovery: Researchers sent 24 mice to the ISS in March 2023 and exposed them to varying gravity levels using a centrifuge for 28 days. The study, published two days ago, found that muscle strength and fiber composition deteriorate below 0.67 g, while mice at 0.67 g and above maintained healthy muscle function.
Why it matters: Moon gravity sits at 0.17 g and Mars at 0.38 g, both well below the 0.67 g threshold where muscle problems begin. This means astronauts on extended lunar or Mars missions may face serious muscle atrophy without enhanced countermeasures like artificial gravity systems or advanced exercise protocols beyond current two-hour daily routines.

China Unveils Robotic Workforce for Lunar Base Construction by 2035

Center 67%
What's new: China unveiled a semi-humanoid robot on wheels designed for lunar construction and scientific work, plus a methane-powered cargo lander family capable of delivering 120 to 5,000 kilograms to the Moon. The concepts, displayed yesterday at a Shanghai conference, support China's International Lunar Research Station planned for 2035 and its goal to land astronauts before 2030.
Why it matters: These robotic systems could accelerate the Moon race between China and the United States, with NASA's Artemis landing now delayed until 2028. The technology also signals China's push into embodied intelligence and physical robotics as a strategic industrial priority, potentially reshaping global automation markets and creating competing technical standards between Western and Chinese blocs.

Alexander the Great's Lost City Found in Iraq After 1,700 Years

The discovery: Archaeologists have confirmed the location of Alexandria on the Tigris, founded by Alexander the Great in 324 BC near southern Iraq's Persian Gulf. Using drone imagery and geophysical scans, researchers mapped a 2.5-square-mile planned metropolis with fortification walls up to eight meters high, street grids, temple complexes, workshops, canals and a harbor system.
Why it matters: This rediscovery reshapes understanding of ancient trade networks linking Mesopotamia, the Persian Gulf and India for over 500 years. The city functioned as a crucial redistribution hub where river and maritime routes met, offering new insights into Hellenistic urban planning, commerce and population centers that may have housed 400,000 to 600,000 inhabitants.

Tucker Carlson Says CIA Read His Texts, Is Preparing Criminal Referral Against Him

What happened: Tucker Carlson alleged yesterday that the CIA read his private text messages and prepared a criminal referral to the DOJ accusing him of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act based on his interviews with Iranian officials before the Feb. 28 war began. Neither the CIA nor DOJ has confirmed his claims, and Carlson provided no evidence while denying he acted as a foreign agent.
Why it matters: If true, the case could significantly impact press freedom and government surveillance of citizens, particularly journalists covering sensitive foreign policy issues. Carlson frames the alleged probe as politically motivated intimidation meant to silence dissent during wartime, citing his criticism of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

140-Foot Asteroid Makes Close Pass by Earth Overnight, NASA Says

What happened: Asteroid 2026 EG1, measuring 32-72 feet wide, passed within 197,466 miles of Earth late Thursday night at 21,513 mph—closer than the moon's average distance of 239,000 miles. NASA confirmed the bus-sized space rock posed no threat and was discovered just days earlier on March 8.
Why it matters: While 2026 EG1 posed no danger, NASA tracks over 41,000 near-Earth asteroids as part of planetary defense efforts, with no major strikes predicted for 100 years. Each close flyby helps scientists refine orbital predictions, test detection systems, and develop strategies to protect Earth from future asteroid threats.
