Sorry Microsoft, but I guess people like Google Maps more. đ
So much for showcasing Redmondâs Chocolate Factory alternative.
Once again the use of performance enhancing substances have made the news, this time with the finger again pointed at the Russians, accusing them of âstate sponsored cheatingâ.
This issue intersects with core beliefs Transhumanism:
SpaceX founder Elon Musk is â80%-90% confidentâ that the companyâs massive new Starship rocket will reach orbit next year and said thereâs a chance it will be ready for an uncrewed cargo mission to Mars in 2024.
The initial test flights will be difficult and carry a high risk of failure, Musk said Friday at a virtual session of the Mars Societyâs 2020 conference. âWeâll probably lose a few ships before we get the atmospheric return and landing right,â he said.
This is a continuation of a previous 3 million for a coupling device. In orbit refueling will allow trips to the Moon, and trips to Mars will take half the time it does now.
NASA tipping point awards.
Last year, Dr. Sergio Canavero created quite the ruckus (to put it mildly) when he vowed to be the primary person to transplant a personâs head onto a deceased donorâs body. Yes, heâs planning on attempting the worldâs first caput transplant (or body transplant, betting on how you study it).
In fact, itâs been a few years since his initial proclamation, and therefore the Italian neurosurgeon still stands firm on his declaration, despite claims from other experts that itâs nothing but a PR Stunt (at best) or a hoax. Some have even hypothesized itâs all just a plot meant to push Metal Gear Solid.
Scientists have measured the shortest unit of time ever: the time it takes a light particle to cross a hydrogen molecule.
That time, for the record, is 247 zeptoseconds. A zeptosecond is a trillionth of a billionth of a second, or a decimal point followed by 20 zeroes and a 1.
Previously, researchers had dipped into the realm of zeptoseconds; in 2016, researchers reporting in the journal Nature Physics used lasers to measure time in increments down to 850 zeptoseconds.
Refueling in orbit is a crucial step for SpaceX to allow its Starship spacecraft to make the journey to faraway places, including the Moon and Mars. The idea is to launch multiple Starships, some destined to top up others while in orbit.
âCombining Starshipâs rapid reusability with orbital refilling is critical to economically transporting large numbers of crew and cargo to the Moon and Mars,â SpaceX wrote in a tweet celebrating the news.
NASA is contracting SpaceX to demonstrate the transfer of ten metric tons of liquid oxygen propellant between one Starship and another, a collaboration with NASAâs Glenn Research Center and the Marshall Space Flight Center.
This guy has spent eight years creating a seriously impressive Iron Man suit â some of the gadgets he has are ridiculous! đźđ.
