One of the Christmas classics is the Jimmy Stewart movie, It’s a Wonderful Life. George Bailey, Stewart’s character, is despondent about his life but then learns how much he has unknowingly helped others and how grateful they are. It’s heartwarming, if also a bit corny. There’s a flip side to that story: the need to remember how much others have contributed to our own lives.

Building a 6.5-metre mirror that can fit inside an Ariane 5 rocket fairing just 4.57 metres wide, without being too heavy to launch into space – well, that is a problem, and the task of solving it fell to NASA’s Lee Feinberg , who leads the telescope’s optical team.

Bone fracture or loss, caused by trauma, surgery or disease, is a serious medical problem. After bone damage, the healing process depends largely on the severity of the fracture. Several approaches have been developed to accelerate bone repair, including both physical and biological methods. However, existing techniques come with limitations, such as the inability to fully restore the bone’s functionality with minimal scar formation.

To keep them out, mission scientists designed an intricate, tennis-court sized sunshield that is quite unlike anything NASA has attempted to deploy in space before. The sunshield comprises five layers, or membranes, of an aluminium-coated polymer called Kapton that is widely used in space exploration thanks to its stability a
