Oklahoman author, Texas dispute ownership of 'lunar Bibles'
TULSA, Okla. — Ten microfilm Bibles once launched hundreds of thousands of miles into space sit landlocked today inside an Oklahoma courthouse while a legal battle rages in two states over who is the rightful owner of the celestial keepsakes. Eight of the 10 tiny holy books in dispute landed on the surface of the moon during NASA’s 1971 Apollo 14 mission, carried in a pouch by astronaut Edgar Mitchell. Each isn’t much larger than a postage stamp and contains all 1,245 pages of the King James Bi..>> view originalGalaxy S8 Review: Samsung Spoils Perfection
Just look at it. Samsung has launched the Galaxy S8 and it might be the most beautiful smartphone ever made. It appears to be something a hyper-intelligent alien race accidentally dropped and we now get to study it.

It's treacherous territory. A particle from the rings — even as small as a speck of sand — could ..>> view original'Mario Kart 8 Deluxe' Ties 'Persona 5' For Second-Best Reviewed Game Of 2017

This week, Activision confirmed what had naturally leaked out a few weeks ago, that Call of Duty was heading back to World War II this year for the aptly named Call of Duty: WWII. We are set to see a livestream reveal of the game next week, because livestream reveals are the cool thing to do now instead of trailers, but we will probably get one of those as well.
