Flat Earth: Spaced out?
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.THE United Nations was founded as a visionary institution, but some of its New York staff are fixing their gaze on outer space. One of their recent seminars asked: 'Why are they so superior?' This was not a respectful address to the veto-wielding five members of the Security Council, but the theme of a 'Symposium on Extra-terrestrial Intelligence and the Human Future'. Beset by so many earthly problems, it is perhaps inevitable that the UN should look to the Milky Way.
