The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying the Crew-11 astronauts has splashed down into the ocean after they left the ISS a month earlier than planned due a medical issue. It’s the first time NASA cut a mission short due to a medical concern. The agency didn’t name the crew member and their condition but stated that they were stable and that it wasn’t a case of medical evacuation. NASA merely decided to end the mission early out of an abundance of caution, because the ISS didn’t have the tools for a proper diagnosis.
NASA astronauts Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman, JAXA’s Kimiya Yui and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Platonov — the members of Crew-11 — left for the space station on August 1 and were supposed to stay there until February. Despite the mission being cut early, they still stayed 167 days in space before they made their way back home. The Dragon capsule carrying the members splashed down off the coast of San Diego, California at 3:41AM on January 15. A SpaceX medical doctor was the first person who checked in on them, though that is routine procedure and not because of one member’s medical issue.
“I couldn’t be prouder of our astronauts and the teams on the ground at NASA, SpaceX, and across our international partnerships,” said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. “Their professionalism and focus kept the mission on track, even with an adjusted timeline. Crew-11 completed more than 140 science experiments that advance human exploration. Missions like Crew-11 demonstrate the capability inherent in America’s space program — our ability to bring astronauts home as needed, launch new crews quickly, and continue pushing forward on human spaceflight as we prepare for our historic Artemis II mission, from low Earth orbit to the Moon and ultimately Mars.”
With Crew-11 back on Earth, there are now only three people aboard the orbiting lab. Two are Russian cosmonauts, while the other one is NASA astronaut Chris Williams. NASA is now looking at options to be able to send Crew-12 to the ISS earlier than its planned February 15 launch.

Most pens announce themselves with metal clips, visible joints, clickers, and branding competing for attention. There’s usually a textured grip zone, a separate barrel, and some kind of mechanism you can see or feel when you deploy the tip. Japanese minimalist objects go the opposite direction, hiding complexity under calm surfaces and letting the act of using them take center stage rather than the object itself announcing its presence.
Twist is a ballpoint pen designed by UO for KACO that hides its mechanism inside a single sleeve of soft silicone. Instead of a separate grip, clip, and twist ring, the body is one continuous mass you hold like chalk. When you twist to extend the tip, the silicone flexes and follows the motion, so the whole form breathes rather than simply exposing a joint or clicking a part.
Designer: Yu Matsuda (UO)
Conventional pens assign jobs to different components, a non-slip clip, a shaped knob for twisting, a hard plastic barrel for structure. Twist folds all of that into the silicone itself, so material, components, and function dissolve into one volume. There is no obvious boundary between grip and body, in line with Japanese minimalism’s habit of hiding seams and making objects feel like they came from a single mold.
The interaction feels quieter than expected. You twist the body and the silicone gives slightly as the inner core rotates, a motion the designers compare to twisting konjac. There is no sharp click or exposed threading, just a smooth, resistant turn and then a tip that quietly appears. It turns a mundane action into a tiny tactile moment without shouting about mechanics or exposing any hardware underneath the skin.
The design team aimed for the directness of holding chalk, where there are no moving parts, only your hand and the line. With Twist, the uniform silicone surface means your fingers do not travel over seams or texture changes, so your brain pays less attention to the object and more to the writing. It becomes the kind of pen you forget you are holding until you notice how unintrusive it has been all afternoon.
Under the silicone is a real mechanism engineered by KACO, a twist-to-extend core driving a 0.5mm gel refill that writes smoothly. The lack of a clip makes it feel more like a desk pen than a pocket tool, but the soft body and light weight mean it slides into bags without catching on anything or scratching objects nearby, which matters when you keep three pens loose in a pouch.
Twist treats minimalism as a reduction of visual and tactile noise, not just an aesthetic of thin lines. It takes a familiar object and strips away every cue that says “mechanism here,” leaving a single silicone stick that quietly transforms when twisted. Most stationery leans on knurls, clips, and cutouts to feel engineered, so that kind of restraint feels surprisingly fresh, like getting a pen that understands the difference between presence and performance.
