Michigan Tech students took home top honors the Artemis Award in NASA’s Breakthrough, Innovative and Game-changing (BIG) Idea Challenge.
Students from Michigan Technological University want to shine a light on the darkest places of the moon. Their design, a rover called Tethered permanently shadowed Region EXplorer (T-REX), deploys a lightweight, superconducting cable to keep other lunar rovers powered and provide wireless communication as they operate in the extreme environments of the moon’s frigid, lightless craters.
Eight university teams competed in the BIG Idea Challenge for 2020, called the Lunar PSR Challenge. The goal? Demonstrating different technologies and designs to study and explore the moon’s permanently shadowed regions (PSRs), which

Garrett Nelson sat down to another yet another Zoom session at the end of a cold night of football at the end of the regular season with a long flight home in front of him. How s it going, boys? the outside linebacker asked media members, with his wide smile still missing a couple bottom teeth from a hit last month.
The Blackshirts are doing just fine. On a night when the offense stole the show with a second-half breakout in a 28-21 win over Rutgers, the defense was the silent partner. Only one take-away â a Cam Taylor-Britt interception late in the fourth quarter. Just two sacks, too.

1. For a half, at least, Nebraska’s picture came together
The first 20 minutes of Nebraska’s win over Rutgers looked all too familiar in all the wrong ways.
Ridiculous turnovers, costly penalties, protection breakdowns, errant throws, and negative plays on offense. A defensive bust that led to a long touchdown. Numerous special teams gaffs that led to an RU touchdown and a severe disadvantage in field position.

In a season that looked for a time like it would never happen, and in a game that saw four turnovers and a 3rd quarter deficit, Nebraska (3-5) finally found a way to finish strong in a 28-21 victory over Rutgers (3-6) on Friday night in Piscataway, New Jersey, to end the shortest, and longest, regular season in recent Husker history.
In terms of total yards, it was not a contest. NU outgained the Scarlet Knights 620-252, and 365-59 in the second half alone. The great equalizer, both Friday night and throughout the 2020 season, was a toxic combination of turnovers and poor special teams play. Junior quarterback Adrian Martinez lost two fumbles and tossed a pair of interceptions. Rutgers won the field position battle by 20 yards, returned a kickoff for a score, and successfully faked a punt. In spite of themselves, Nebraska prevailed.
