Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

What does ‘hardware maintenance’ mean to you? Restarting the computer? Blowing dust off an appliance? It may sound tedious but hardware maintenance has never looked so glorious.

Go Pro footage has emerged showing two Russian astronauts busily working outside the International Space Station.

The pair spent more than five hours in zero-gravity as they performed their space chores.

Watch the stunning footage below.

The video above shows an incredible view of Earth from the International Space Station, 400 kilometres away.

The two astronauts included record-breaking Gennady Padalka who recently set a new record of 879 cumulative days spent in space.
