A single Bitcoin transaction carried an average water footprint of about 16,000 litres in 2021 once the electricity and cooling behind it were counted — roughly 6.2 million times the water behind one credit-card swipe, and the figure rises and falls with the price of Bitcoin itself

In July 2024 a gate went up on Mount Fuji's Yoshida trail with a 2,000-yen toll and a ceiling of 4,000 climbers a day, and infrared counters on all four routes tallied 204,316 climbers for the full season against 221,322 the year before, while the other three routes had no gate.

Venice charged day-trippers to enter its historic center on 54 days in 2025 and 723,497 people paid, 5.4 million euros in all, and the daily average of them slipped only to 13,046 from 16,676, still walking the same alleys as the 48,500 people who actually live there

Astronauts on the space station have no washing machine, because water is far too precious to waste on laundry, so they wear the same clothes for days and then pack the dirty ones into a cargo capsule that burns up on reentry, which means a fireball crossing the sky could, in theory, be a bundle of an astronaut's old underwear.

As of September 2026, humanity has two continuously crewed space stations: China’s Tiangong, occupied without interruption since 2022, and the International Space Station.

Europe has launched satellites aboard its own rockets for decades, but never from Western European soil; on 5 September 2026, German startup Isar Aerospace’s 28-metre Spectrum became the first rocket to reach orbit from the region, deploying five satellites from Arctic Norway on only its second flight—17 months after its debut lost control and crashed back to Earth less than a minute after liftoff.

Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore launched aboard Boeing’s Starliner in June 2024 for an eight-day test flight and came home on a SpaceX capsule 286 days later—not because they were chasing a record, but because NASA judged the propulsion problems on the spacecraft that carried them there too uncertain to risk bringing them back.
