Drone footage captures groundbreaking sperm whale birth as NASA tests astronauts for Artemis II
Live Science reports the first drone-captured footage of a sperm whale giving birth, showing a matriarchal social group surrounding the mother and calf during the hour-long event, a rare non-primate birth. Separately, NASA is using astronauts as experimental subjects to study how radiation, isolation and microgravity affect humans as it advances Artemis II and broader lunar ambitions, including a permanent base and a nuclear-powered rocket.
