Astrobotic, the team behind the Peregrine spacecraft, is urgently working to extract any possible value from its failing mission. This comes after a catastrophic propellant leak occurred just after yesterday’s launch, ending the spacecraft’s attempt to land on the Moon.China's Plan to Land Astronauts on the MoonThe 2,829-pound (1,283-kilogram) Peregrine lander reached space early yesterday, after the picturesque inaugural launch of United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan Centaur rocket. Following orbital insertion, Astrobotic,…

Give or take, she still has had those cosmic abilities on top of her usual ones ever since she returned to the Ms., and eventually Captain, Marvel mantles. Which means on film at least, we have now seen more universes where Maria Rambeau became Captain Marvel…

Yesterday was a big day for actors and writers, as well as anyone—like us—who covers the entertainment industry as SAG-AFTRA officially joined the WGA on the picket lines for the first time in 60 years. From AI reveals to Fran Drescher’s pretty great, off-the-cuff speech about the labor problems facing actors in Hollywood, all eyes were on LA yesterday. We’ll be figuring out what this means for San Diego Comic-Con soon, but until then, remember spoilers... Fran Fine would never, ever cross a picket line.Who Should Play…

| Today sees the publication of X-Force #35, Immortal X-Men #9 and X-Men Red #9. There will be spoilers. Not massive ones, but enough to put the wind up a maiden aunt. Because we are here to talk about Hank McCoy, the Beat, an original member of the X-Men, former member of Avengers and Defenders, and now the resident mad scientist of Krakoa. Bleeding Cool has followed his descent into said madness, doing the supposedly necessary things that no one else will to ensure the survival of the X-Men and Krakoa, but we have our…

Following up on a truly gigantic and obscenely expensive $500 USS Enterprise playset, Playmobil is introducing a worthy adversary for Captain Kirk with a new Klingon Bird-of-Prey set packed full of adorably bloodthirsty figures.Like the USS Enterprise, Playmobil has gone completely over the top with its recreation of the Bird-of-Prey which is based on the warship’s…

The vegan food market was pegged as a $27 billion industry last year, a figure that’s expected to more than double within a decade. This hasn’t gone unnoticed by the major food and beverage incumbents such as Nestlé, which launched a plant-based dairy line under the Wunda brand last year, while rival Unilever has been doubling down on its vegan offerings. But any company looking to develop successful plant-based food alternatives often face challenges when trying to replicate certain goods…

Screenshot: ParamountVoyager is a weird show for shore leave—the crew is exploring a previously unknown quadrant of space and trying to get home, so they can’t really just kick their feet up and relax on a nice planet somewhere. Instead, the series gave its crew digital hideways in the form of several holodeck programs throughout the show. Early on we had Chez Sandrine, a French pool bar, and we eventually got Neelix’s take on the Paxau Resort, a tropical hotel. But perhaps the most infamous and fun of all is the short…
