Watching scientists wait for news from their spacecraft is still marvelously suspenseful. Satellites launched after Sputnik keep our world connected, to the point that a widespread failure could be near-apocalyptic. On the 60th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik 1-the dawn of the Space Age and all the innovation that came with it-we are reminded that space continues to make history. What Do You Know … About Science, Technology, and Health? Keep reading here as Chrisman-Campbell considers how the iconic suits combined conservatism and provocation. And if feminists are still arguing over whether the Bunny suit was constricting or liberating, it’s because it was designed to be both. Her skimpy suit promised further revelations that never came her cuddly demeanor concealed the Bunnies’ intensive training, strict disciplinary policies, and astronomical paychecks. But the Bunny’s erotic allure was as much of a tease as the stuffing that so often filled out the D-cups of her costume. Since its debut, the Bunny suit-a strapless bodysuit paired with rabbit ears and a fluffy tail-has become a cartoonish cliché of female sexuality, serving as a visual punchline in Bridget Jones’s Diary, Legally Blonde, Mean Girls, The House Bunny, and a host of other rom-coms.

One of the most iconic symbols of the Playboy Club was its waitstaff: a throng of women known, and dressed, as Bunnies.

Yet his defense of the president didn’t dispel uncertainty about his future, since previous Trump aides have also insisted they would stay right before departing (he also didn’t explicitly refute the claim that he’d called Trump a “moron”).
Tillerson’s Troubles: Secretary of State Rex Tillerson denied the NBC News report that he’d seriously considered resigning over differences with Trump. Meanwhile, the survivors of past mass shootings have come together to support-and advocate for-each other. With the motives of the Las Vegas shooter, Stephen Paddock, still unknown, Graeme Wood-the author of “What ISIS Really Wants”-wrestles with the meaning of the label “terrorist” and how much statistics on violence can tell us. In the wake of the shooting, House Speaker Paul Ryan has joined other politicians in calling for mental-health reform-yet while improved access to care would likely help a lot of people, researchers say it wouldn’t do much to prevent mass murder.
Las Vegas: President Trump emphasized caring and unity in his remarks after meeting with victims and first responders of the mass shooting in Las Vegas.
