China will hold discussions on building a defence system against near-Earth asteroids, a senior space agency official said on Saturday, as the country steps up its longer term space ambitions.
Zhang Kejian, head of the China National Space Administration, did not provide further detail in his opening remarks at a ceremony for China's space day in the eastern city of Nanjing.
China has made space exploration a top priority in recent years, aiming to establish a programme operating thousands of space flights a year and carrying tens of thousands of tonnes of cargo and passengers by 2045.
The European Space Agency last year signed a deal worth 129 million euros ($156 million) to build a spacecraft for a joint project with NASA examining how to deflect an asteroid heading for Earth.
Але імхо цим питанням вже треба було б займатись років 10-20 і вже мати якусь робочу систему...
The Grocery Price Shock Is Coming to a Store Near You
Corn, wheat, soybeans, vegetable oils: A small handful of commodities form the backbone of much of the world’s diet and they’re dramatically more expensive, flashing alarm signals for global shopping budgets.
This week, the Bloomberg Agriculture Spot Index — which tracks key farm products — surged the most in almost nine years, driven by a rally in crop futures. With global food prices already at the highest since mid-2014, this latest jump is being closely watched because staple crops are a ubiquitous influence on grocery shelves — from bread and pizza dough to meat and even soda.
Soaring raw material prices have broad repercussions for households and businesses, and threaten a world economy trying to recover from the damage of the coronavirus pandemic. They help fuel food inflation, bringing more pain for families that are already grappling with financial pressure from the loss of jobs or incomes. For central banks, a spike in prices at a time of weak growth creates an unwelcome policy choice and could limit their ability to loosen policy.

зі. Дуже сподіваюсь, що омериганці нарешті скуштують, що куштує весь час решта світу - високу інфляцію і падіння життевого рівня

нічого вони не скуштують, крім відносно дорогої нерухомості і будматеріалів, а от решта світу буде гам-гам наслідки кризи в штатах
In Britain, the rich are richer but the poor far poorer than in Europe
Ask an economist how unequal the UK is and they’ll answer by reeling off our nation’s Gini coefficient – currently 33.5. This will not help you much. Sometimes, they’ll note this is a high level of inequality, compared with 33.1 in Germany or 28.5 in France. That will provide a sense of ordering – UK income inequality is high – but not much by way of meaning. Gini chat is not exactly what our newly reopened pubs are full of. So this week’s Insight comes in chart form to illustrate what abstract talk of different inequality levels means and why it matters.
Typical households in the UK, France and Germany have remarkably similar incomes – around €34,000 in 2018. But those similarities hide big differences. The rich here have incomes 17% higher than their equivalents in France, a kind of inequality many can live with.
But no one should be happy with the fact that our poorest households have to survive on incomes a staggering 20% lower than those across the Channel (£14,700 v £18,500). That means higher poverty, lower living standards and no margin when things go wrong, such as a pandemic hitting. The point? Inequality isn’t about statistics – it’s about the lives we live and the societies we inhabit. If you want to level up, it’s not hard to see where you need to start.
зі. Саме те, про шо я писав якийсь час тому, якщо ти бідний в ЮК, шансів вирватись в "бахатство" практично немає... тільки заробітчанство )))
Our Planet Is Travelling Through The Debris of Ancient Supernovae
Radioactive dust deep beneath the ocean waves suggests that Earth is moving through a massive cloud left behind by an exploded star.
Continuously, for the last 33,000 years, space has been seeding Earth with a rare isotope of iron forged in supernovae.
It's not the first time that the isotope, known as iron-60, has dusted our planet. But it does contribute to a growing body of evidence that such dusting is ongoing - we are still moving through an interstellar cloud of dust that could have originated from a supernova millions of years ago.
Iron-60 has been the focus of several studies over the years. It has a half-life of 2.6 million years, which means it completely decays after 15 million years - so any samples found here on Earth must have been deposited from elsewhere, since there's no way any iron-60 could have survived from the formation of the planet 4.6 billion years ago.
And deposits have been found. Nuclear physicist Anton Wallner of the Australian National University previously dated seabed deposits back to 2.6 million and 6 million years ago, suggesting that debris from supernovae had rained down on our planet at these times.
But there's more recent evidence of this stardust - much more recent.
It's been found in the Antarctic snow; according to the evidence, it had to have fallen in the last 20 years.
зі. Час дістати протигази ))) хірургічні маски навряд чи допомагають.... А краще поменше шастати по вулиці...
