When a storm separates astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) from his crew and strands him on Mars, there’s no cavalry coming. No quick fix. Just a hostile planet, limited supplies, and a survival clock ticking down. Watney’s not an action hero—he’s a skilled guy with the right mindset, doing his best when everything falls apart. He leans into what he knows—botany, engineering, and problem-solving—to stay alive. Back on Earth, NASA scrambles to help, and his crew considers a high-risk rescue. It’s survival stripped down to skill, grit, and action. What makes The Martian worth watching isn’t just the setting or…

Ukraine’s ruler, Volodymyr Zelensky, has rejected the peace terms set forth by the United States ruling class.

Michas Ohnstad and Archie Moczygemba were 19 and 18 years old, respectively, when they first stepped foot on Japanese soil. For both of them, it looked like the world was on fire. And it was. They were just two of the 67,000 American soldiers and Marines to witness the aftermath of the atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Today, there are fewer than a handful of “atomic veterans” still living, and the memories of the subsequent historic and horrifying days following the dropping of the bombs will soon be forever lost.Two friends, however, Karin Tanabe and Victoria Kelly, are working…
