Science today spans survival, launchpads and long-term risk. In Venezuela, rescuers pulled a 43-year-old man alive from earthquake rubble after eight days beneath a collapsed shopping-centre structure, a rare outcome that underscores both the power of modern search efforts and the stubborn resilience of the human body. In space, momentum is building on two fronts: India’s Skyroot Aerospace is preparing the first orbital flight of its privately built Vikram-1 rocket in a July-to-August window, a milestone for the country’s commercial space sector, while Amazon says its low-Earth-orbit broadband constellation is nearing 400 satellites, enough to begin initial service later this year and challenge Starlink, if only at a much smaller scale. Back on Earth, a major health study links sitting uninterrupted for more than 30 minutes at a time with higher cancer mortality, reinforcing a simple message: move more, more often.
