The new space race drama continuous.
NASA has chosen a partner for its Artemis crewed mission to the Moon, but the other firm isn’t out of the race yet.
😮
In the next year and a half, we’re going to see increasing adoption of technologies, which will trigger a broader industry shift, much as Tesla triggered the transition to EVs.

This link shows a global tracker of the virus mostly the virus keeps evolving oddly enough unseen from most viruses. Also the virus doesn’t like extreme cold.
Since December 2019, the disease has spread to every continent and case numbers continue to rise.
Circa 2020
On 8 May 2020, the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology (IRTA) reported the case of the first cat infected with SARS-CoV-2 in Spain. It was a 4-year-old cat called Negrito, who lived with a family affected by COVID-19, with one case of death.
Coinciding with these facts, the animal presented severe respiratory difficulties and was taken to a veterinary hospital in Badalona (Barcelona), where it was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Due to a terminal condition the hospital decided to do a humanitarian euthanasia.

At the University of Chicago, scientists have developed an absolutely innovative, promising treatment for COVID-19 in the form of nanoparticles with the ability to trap SARS-CoV-2 viruses inside the body and use the body’s own immune system to kill them.
The “nanotraps” lure the virus by imitating the target cells infected by the virus. When the virus gets trapped by the nanotraps, it is then sequestered from other cells and targeted for destruction by the immune system.
Theoretically, these nanotraps could be used on different variants of the virus, resulting in a promising new way to suppress the virus in the future. The therapy is still in the early stages of testing, but the researchers believe that it could be administered through a nasal spray as a treatment for COVID-19.

Meat lovers will be upset about what I am going to write. I consider myself a meat lover too but I have to face the facts. Livestock industry is consuming a lot of crops like corn, barley, hay and soybeans which cover most of farmlands. And these crops can not be grown inside vertical farms or hydroponic farms. Regenerative agriculture can reduce CO2 and gives a solution to improve the quality of the soil from breaking. We need to let most farm lands to recover so we can avoid desertification. Plant-based food also uses soybeans and other crops but i think it will have less impact on farmlands since livestock will have less share. Humans were hunter gatherers then we start growing wheat to feed our growing population to adapt with the situation and now we are facing new challenges that could change our diet in the next 40 years.
Regenerative farming refers to practices focused on replenishing the soil’s nutrients and includes things like no-till cultivation, rotational cattle grazing, using less synthetic fertilizers and planting cover crops. In addition to making soil and crops healthier, the practices help to sequester CO2.

Hundreds of genetic loci associated with age at menopause, combined with experimental evidence in mice, highlight mechanisms of reproductive ageing across the lifespan.
This next jump in battery-tech could solve a lot of EV problems.
The world of the internal combustion engine will sadly, but very necessarily, come to a close at some point in many of our lifetimes. Hybrids and electric vehicles are becoming more affordable and more advanced at a rapid pace, which means batteries are taking the place of fossil fuels. This has led to an equally rapid progression in battery technology, with the main goals of improving capacity, charging times, and safety. One major advancement in this field is the advent of solid-state batteries, which promise to push the boundaries of the limitations that current lithium-ion batteries carry.
