personal, scalable, and central to how people
shared news and built communities. Today, we
call that social network Facebook. So now you
know. And now, it's time for the Surf Report.

show. Let's talk science. Space tourism raises
urgent fertility questions, NASA says. As more
people travel beyond Earth, scientists warn that
risks to reproductive health from zero gravity
and radiation remain little understood. According

space flight does to human fertility remains
dangerously under -examined. As commercial flights
become more common, guidelines are needed before
things get out of hand. Weightlessness weakens
bones and muscles, and radiation levels are far
higher than on Earth. The authors stress they
are not advocating for reproduction in space,

be irresponsible. The Night Agent is returning
