 A fan might feel like a lifeline in a heatwave, and for older adults it may be of some help - but not as much as it might seem. A new study has found that while high-speed fan use slightly reduced core body temperature and improved comfort in humid heat, it doesn't stop internal heat buildup entirely. And in extremely hot and dry conditions, where fan use has previously been shown to raise hea

This designation is particularly important considering SpaceX may be able to circumvent governmental red tape when it comes to scheduling rocket launches.
