Dragon to the Moon?
The following memo was sent by the author to NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine and Scott Pace, executive secretary of the National Space Council, on June 30, 2020.
A mission equivalent to Apollo 8—call it “Artemis 8”—could be done, potentially as soon as this year, using Dragon, Falcon Heavy, and Falcon 9.

For now, the world’s top gamers can still beat the most sophisticated bots — but the tide may turn in as little as three years, according to a former StarCraft II champion.
Watch my hero Elon Musk.
Tesla CEO and tech mogul Elon Musk just swept past Warren Buffett on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index to become the world’s seventh wealthiest person. According to Bloomberg, Musk’s fortune on Friday increased by more than $6 billion, this came after Tesla’s stock which had been performing better than ever before in the past few weeks surged at the rate of 10.8% to an all-time high record of $1,544 per share. Its Market Capitalization value is standing at $286.5 billion which makes it the highest valued automotive company in the world.

Boeing has finished deliveries of its AH-64E Apache attack helicopter and CH-47F Chinook cargo helicopter to the Indian air force.
The US manufacturer delivered the final five of 22 Apaches ordered by New Delhi in June, it says. The remaining five of 15 Chinooks ordered by the air force were delivered in March.
The future of entertainment: songs that never end, movies with unlimited sequels, TV shows with never ending episodes, and video games that go on forever.
And how the tech works is largely a mystery.
The coming two decades are scheduled to be very interesting decades for human space exploration and colonization. One of the things on America’s agenda for space exploration is creating humanity’s first Mars base, which will most likely happen in the 2030s and 2040s. If you are interested in what this Moon base will look like, please take a look at this video!

Japan has been cleared by the US State Department to buy 105 Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II stealth fighters as part of a package worth an estimated $23.11 billion.
The potential F-35 deal is the second largest foreign military sale approved by Washington in history, behind a $29.4 billion sale of Boeing F-15SA fighters and associated weapons to Saudi Arabia in 2010.
Advanced herbicides and treatments for infection may result from the unraveling of a 50-year-old mystery by University of Queensland researchers.
The research team, led by UQ’s Professor Luke Guddat, revealed the complete three-dimensional structure of an enzyme, providing the first step in the biosynthesis of three essential amino acids —leucine, valine and isoleucine.
“This is a major scientific advance, which has been pursued globally by chemists for half a century,” Professor Guddat said.
In a new study, a group of researchers led by Prof. Lior Klein, from the physics department and the Institute of Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials at Bar-Ilan University, has shown that relatively simple structures can support an exponential number of magnetic states—much greater than previously thought. They have additionally demonstrated switching between the states by generating spin currents. Their results may pave the way to multi-level magnetic memory with an extremely large number of states per cell; it could also have application in the development of neuromorphic computing, and more. Their research appears as a featured article on the cover of a June issue of Applied Physics Letters.
Spintronics is a thriving branch of nano-electronics which uses the spin of the electron and its associated magnetic moment in addition to the electron charge used in traditional electronics. The main practical contributions of spintronics are in magnetic sensing and non-volatile magnetic data storage, and researchers are pursuing breakthroughs in developing magnetic-based processing and novel types of magnetic memory.
Spintronics devices commonly consist of magnetic elements manipulated by spin-polarized currents between stable magnetic states. When spintronic devices are used for storing data, the number of stable states sets an upper limit on memory capacity. While current commercial magnetic memory cells have two stable magnetic states corresponding to two memory states, there are clear advantages to increasing this number, as it will potentially allow increasing memory density and enable the design of novel types of memory.
