Deep-sea creatures: thanks for the gift of nature!

I missed the news but after the summary of information from various media, I have these points of confusion: How did they get a deep dive qualification for something of this engineering quality that is almost like a toy? Frankly speaking, it should not even be allowed to go to sea. How does this company market this toy-like thing, and get the rich people on board? (And the rich people really f* buy it??) The only good thing about this submarine is that it can't screw those of us who aren't that rich.

CNSA's official WeChat account: Why is it so hard to get a round-trip ticket to Mars? (Chinese link warning) ... "There are many more challenges to a manned mission to Mars, so we will only give a general overview here. One final note: we are landing people on Mars (or other 'habitable' planets) to study the potential for past and future long-term support of life on Mars. It is not necessary to migrate to Mars or conditions on Earth are so bad that we have to go. Even the Sahara and Antarctica are paradises compared to Mars." "While life as a whole phenomenon is very hardy, species-specific, it is fragile. Throughout the evolutionary history of life on Earth, there have been numerous mass extinctions: higher oxygen levels, extinction; lower, extinction; higher temperatures, extinction; lower, extinction. The parameters for survival on Mars require a great deal of effort to adjust to "just survivable", or more likely, not at all. So, for the time being, humans are still studying and researching Mars, and on the subject of transforming the world, let's take care of our home planet first!"

When I was a kid, my parents drove to pick me up from school one day to go shopping at a big mall in our city. Then while we were all in the car, my mum got a call: a child-like voice crying out about mum help me. Then it was "Your son has been kidnapped blablabla". My mum said "Guess why I know it's a scam?" And hung up the phone. A few seconds later, that guy called my dad again and it was the same thing. My dad: my son is in my car right now idiot! My parents say that the "child's voice" they hear is very different from mine. But yes, imagine how different things could have been if kid’s voice print had been leaked and synthesized by the ai.

Rubbish and selfish drivers running roughshod over the roads is a worldwide problem. But some pedestrians can also be a problem. In China, there's a law for drivers about you must unconditionally give way when a pedestrian crosses the road. If you don't do this and get caught on camera, you'll get 3 points off on your license (12 in total) and a fine of 150 RMB. And then the problem arises: in some cities, in the older parts of them, in two-way single lane or one-way paths, some pedestrians will ignore cars on the road - they are just be like "why are you driving in my living room". It's really hard not swearing at times like this.

ok, from today onwards, there will be a second AI on board apart from Siri.

Meanwhile, Malaysia: we hope to join the lunar research project, and don't want to join only as a passenger.

HOORAY! Have to say the HUD is really useful for me, the rookie driver

lol, fun fact about "customary law"? One more: The Qing Empire fell in 1912, but some of its legal texts were used in British Hong Kong until 7 October 1971. The Qing Code was only used for Chinese, Europeans use European laws - which means that if you killed someone at the time, if you were Chinese you would be beheaded and if you were British you would be hanged. Oh wait, sorry, my bad: Finland is a country using civil law system. Everyday learn something new!

Always wash my hands with hand sanitizer when I get home - that's something I never did or even "unimaginable" before the pandemic.

So you can do everything but fight, right?

A new "long-range folding wing drone" (yep that's the official name) made by Northwestern Polytechnical University. With a four-hour flight endurance and the ability to launch underwater.

CNSA has now agreed to requests from NASA and other national aerospace agencies to use the Queqiao lunar signal relay satellite service, to help them with future lunar exploration missions. It's always best to cooperate for sure. But actually this service is some kind of "automatic law-breaking machine" for someone.

Looking at the development of AI-assisted driving in China's domestic cars now - automatically change lanes to overtake when it is safe to do so with camera/radar monitoring. I wonder if in the future, in a decade or two, when this technology becomes more widespread, it will automatically coordinate all the vehicles on the whole road when they get on the highway and are connected to the Internet.

A new payload - "exposure experiment device for space radiobiology", has been taken out from the cargo airlock at the MT module and mounted outside of the station: Tiangong TV S05E02 "This device will provide services for experiments on radiation damage, genetic mutation, preparation of radiation protection drugs, and biological assessment of radiation risks. It's expected to work for approximately five years." Add: the location that the robotic arm put in the video was the "transit position", which is on the 'leeward' side of the MT module, the side near the solar arrays of the core module. Then the arm has been adjusted and mounted on the 'skyward' platform:

If I remember correctly, the poor Marines were still using WWI weapons at the beginning of WW2 Just looking back at the photos I took from the museum in Leeds. Looks like those Brits had a pretty positive attitude toward something new - there are lots of iconic weapons and something owned by someone f* rich. Typical Britain museum which shows something pre-1950. Just at the back of the American weapons

List of these 41 satellites: Jilin-1 Gaofen 06-A 01-30 (30 sats, 20kg each, side hanging. Has five spectral bands: panchromatic/blue/green/red/near-infrared. With a maximum panchromatic/multispectral resolution of 0.75m/3m and a width of around 18.9km) Jilin-1 Gaofen 03-D 19-26 (8 sats, 43kg each, side hanging. Also has five spectral bands. Resolution of 0.75m/3m, and a width of around 17km) Jilin-1 satellite platform 02A 1-2 (2 sats, around 40kg each, mounted at the bottom. Detailed technical specifications are unknown, but it should also be a sub-meter class optical satellite) Jilin-1 ** model (only one, 40 kg, mounted at the bottom. Detailed also unknown) Now, the number of Jilin-1 satellites in orbit is 108 already - this marks the success of the Jilin-1 satellite constellation project in achieving the goal and milestone of "100 satellites in orbit this year". Currently, it can be 35 to 37 revisits per day to any location worldwide. By the end of this year, it is expected to reach 140 satellites, completing the goal of the first phase of the constellation's construction. By then, it will be able to revisit any location worldwide within 10 minutes.

Full video in 3 minutes: Tiangong TV S5E1: A New Departure! Check out the CSS shots! A new record: 41 satellites launched by CZ-2D Y88 rocket at TSLC at 13:30 CST today - it just broke the multiple satellites at once in China - previously was 26 by launch by Lijian-1 days ago. These 41 satellites were from the Jilin Changguang Company Source The next record that I expected previously was 30+, but, damn! An official CNSA account, "Space Supply Chain Service Platform", has posted a "Satellite Launch Opportunity Auction Platform", where bids for CZ-6C rocket launches start at 80,000 RMB/kg. The "opportunities":

My level of knowledge of American history before 1900 isn't particularly deep - broadly speaking my knowledge can be summed up in these: Taken by me from Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds. Were these lever-action magazine rifles too expensive for both sides? Add: If I remember correctly, several years ago MythBusters did an episode about this. The result was they really have two bullets just like the 1862 one.

"The project is constructed by China Construction First Group Corporation Limited and is located within the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Sites in Dongjiao Town, Wenchang City. The project building is a reinforced concrete frame structure, reinforced concrete shear wall structure, steel pipe tower structure, grade 2 fire resistance, and can withstand earthquakes of Liedu 7. The construction includes a power centre, rooms for test work, wastewater treatment facilities & equipment, and small solid rocket launch stations, etc. The planned construction period is 180 days." Emmmm... not the news I expected. But it's a good one for those companies in the coastal provinces. Seems that both France and China have been working together quite happily recently.

Man, we are not Vikings hahaha Dragon boats in this country are for "rescue and memorial" at the very first beginning. Actually, I recommend checking out the Chinese wiki link, let Mr. Chrome help you.

Well, although I hate the way that guy presented but... Similarly, there are stories about Soviets/Russians and Mars
