Cygnus is scheduled to depart the International Space Station on Wednesday, Jan. 6, more than 3 months after delivering nearly 8000 pounds of supplies to austronauts all the way in outer space. Cygnus arrived at the space station Oct. 52020.
Considering the innovations in vertical farming, it seems indoor farming is gaining even more steam.
Abhu Dhabi is now about to build the world’s largest indoor farm; overcoming their desert climate and making efficient use of their limited water supply. It will be able to produce 10000 tonnes of fresh vegies every 12 months.

OEC just started 3D printing classes last year.
It sounds bizarre — but could help the nuclear industry skip decades of rote experimentation.
Ralph Baric, PhD, is the William R. Kenan, Jr. Distinguished Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. He is a Harvey Weaver Scholar from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and an Established Investigator Awardee from the American Heart Association. In addition, he is a World Technology Award Finalist and a fellow of the American Association for Microbiology. He has spent the past three decades as a world leader in the study of coronaviruses and is responsible for UNC-Chapel Hill’s world leadership in coronavirus research. For these past three decades, Dr. Baric has warned that the emerging coronaviruses represent a significant and ongoing global health threat, particularly because they can jump, without warning, from animals into the human population, and they tend to spread rapidly.
The Baric Lab uses coronaviruses as models to study the genetics of RNA virus transcription, replication, persistence, pathogenesis, genetics and cross-species transmission. He has used alphavirus vaccine vectors to develop novel candidate vaccines. Dr. Baric has led the world in recognizing the importance of zoonotic viruses as a potentially rich source of new emerging pathogens in humans, with detailed studies of the molecular, genetic and evolutionary mechanisms that regulate the establishment and dissemination of such a virus within a newly adopted host. Specifically, he works to decipher the complex interactions between the virion and cell surface molecules that function in the entry and cross-species transmission of positive-strand RNA viruses.
When science is politicized, or commercially compromised, lives are often lost. Let US put our political and ideological differences aside, and enjoy the science and information others have to share. Let US not try to control the narrative based on our political or ideological beliefs to push a flawed narrative people do not want questioned because it is flawed to begin with, and needs an added push. Respect what people have to share, and do not try to spread hatred against them. The comments sections can be easily used for you to share your point of view by questioning…O

In California alone there are 11 desalination plants, with 10 more proposed. But there are big downsides to making seawater drinkable.
This could make traffic less stressful! 😃
The MINI Vision Urbanaut concept vehicle is an all-new interpretation of a space focused on enhancing social experiences.
Some 21 residents of a Bat Yam retirement home tested positive for the coronavirus after they were vaccinated but before they had developed antibodies, according to Ynet.
The other 150 residents of the home will be tested for the virus.
Health officials have stressed that the two-dose Pfizer vaccine regimen means that the vaccine is only fully effective about five weeks after the first dose. This means it could take until sometime in February for enough elderly and high-risk people to be vaccinated to help lower the spread of infection and start reopening the economy.
