Former NASA Ames Director Pete Worden explains how the interstellar propulsion technology from James Cameron's Avatar is now becoming a real engineering plan. Is it going to be ready anytime soon? Probably not, but scientists have kicked off a major effort to figure out how to get there.

Facing adversity became a reality for Tyler Turner long before 2020 rolled around. Ty lost both his feet in a skydiving accident 3 years ago. Since then he’s become a pro at living “a new normal.” His injuries altered the course of his life dramatically, taking away many of his choices, while simultaneously opening up incredible opportunities. This year alone Ty competed in the ISA World Para Surf championship; he joined the NextGen Canadian Para Snowboard team and is trying to qualify for the next Olympics (whenever they may be…); he bought a live-aboard sailboat with his girlfriend, Kayleen, and started a YouTube channel about it; and with the support of High Fives Foundation and Project Uprising he became the first bilateral amputee to fly a wingsuit. If you ask Ty, he’ll tell you that he spends a lot of time on the couch in pain and that he isn’t trying to inspire anyone. He’s just doing what he’s always done: trying to enjoy life, pushing boundaries, and seeing what’s possible. What unites skiers and snowboarders, including guys like Ty, is a spirit of perseverance and adaptability. These sports are a constant practice of balancing risk and joy within shifting conditions, and ultimately picking the best route. Some days we ride huge lines of deep powder, other times the mountains tell us to stay home and to wait for a better day. All the while the goal is never adjusted: feel alive and have fun with the people you love! We are stoked to support Ty's journey.

When you lock in and accelerate, limits disappear. ⚡️🏁 . Meet the Manta 2026: the board built for riders who crave raw acceleration, speed, and total confidence at full power. From glassy speed strips to rolling ocean chop, the Manta turns every gust into forward drive and every reach into a chance to hit new top speeds. . Smaller sizes race through strong-wind speed runs with precision and control, while larger Mantas deliver powerful lift, early planing, and unmatched efficiency on demanding slalom tracks. Whatever the course — long reaches, technical gybes, tight marks, or pure speed missions — the Manta stays balanced, fast, and ready to dash ahead. Discover your go-to weapon for dominating the course and crossing the finish line first: 🌐 https://tabou-boards.com/boards/manta/ #tabouwindsurfing #tabouboards #notjustbetterdifferent #windsurfing #slalom #racing
