There IS one small corner of the internet that claims the whole thing was staged and the crew is still alive - but there’s zero evidence for any of that!
CERN Unleashes Powerful Robot-Dog to Inspect Nuclear Radiation Zones, but Totally Misses The Opportunity to Call it Snoopy.
Despite the miss on a great name, CERN has revealed “CERNquadbot”. It’s a four-legged friend for exploring cluttered and hazardous environments at CERN.. places where fleshy humans don’t belong. It works together with the Train Inspection Monorail which monitors vast distances of the Large Hadron Collider from above, meaning this new doggo could really help with some tough to reach spots in the future.
Africa's 2-Billion-Year-Old Atomic Furnace
Deep in Gabon's ancient bedrocks lies Oklo, the planet's only self-sustaining nuclear reactor. Ignited eons ago by uranium-rich ores and groundwater moderators, churning fission without human hands in a subterranean blaze that defies modern science. This geological ghost machine holds secrets to eternal nuclear waste containment and cosmic atomic riddles.
