ATCEMS places time capsule in historic Station One amid renovations
SUMMARY: Austin-Travis County EMS celebrated the renovation of their historic Station One by embedding a time capsule in its walls. Station One, located at 3616 South 1st Street, was the nation's first standalone EMS station, originally opened on April 15, 1982. The recent renovations were funded by a bond package approved by voters in 2018. The station has hosted various response vehicles and served as a home for many medics over the years. The time capsule represents a unique opportunity for current Austinites to connect with future generations. A send-off event for the station took place in 2021 before remodeling began.

Space exploration: New study finds moon houses caves that could act as shelter for astronauts
SUMMARY: Scientists have confirmed a sizable cave on the moon near Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s Apollo 11 landing site, potentially housing future astronauts. An Italian-led team reported the cave’s evidence from the deepest known pit at the Sea of Tranquility, about 250 miles from Apollo 11’s location. The pit, created by a collapsed lava tube, is one of over 200 such features on the moon. Researchers used radar measurements from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, comparing them with Earth’s lava tubes. Their findings were published in a scientific journal. The research was conducted by Associated Press and reported on July 15, 2024.
