  1. https://x.com/CNSpaceflight/status/1702184609407193219?s=20 Sputnik: Venezuela Will Send Its First Astronaut to Moon as Part of China's Mission
  2. However, considering a few years ago the other "government officials meeting" in Singapore - Their news is quite a lot of nighttime footage of bustling Singapore. And said that "hey look that's Singapore." Meanwhile, many of them have been to China and Russia as foreign students. So, it's very likely that what you think they're going to talk to you about, "I can't find the money for my next meal", but they actually going to talk to you about "how well DJI drones can be modified and carried".
  3. Apparently, there's something "rockets" were launched. https://x.com/King9999915/status/1702130737166827723?s=20
  4. https://news.sky.com/story/libya-flooding-more-than-5-300-feared-dead-after-dams-burst-12959679 I've seen some weather enthusiasts talk about an unprecedented 400, maybe even 600 mm of precipitation in the desert areas around here - that's almost two or even ten years' worth of total precipitation in the area all at once. More than 400mm of precipitation (in 6 hours) is enough for the coastal city with subtropical monsoon climate where I live to pump three to four days of water out of the metro stations and underground parking lots. It is hard to imagine how this happened in desert cities. Whatever you think about climate change, there's really something happening in every corner of this planet.
  5. It's a five-hour drive from here. And it's a different river system with us. Meanwhile, there is also the "traditional post-typhoon programme" of big fish escaping from nearby aquaculturists' nets and flooded reservoirs. You can very easily pick up oysters, mussels and all kinds of clams on the beach - literally pick them up without any searching. I also read about a hotel that said that a pool of koi carp worth tens of thousands of RMB alone for the single fish that they kept in a carp pond in the hotel lobby had been washed out because of flooding. However, several stations on the other metro line are still under repair because the whole station with the metro tunnel was filled with water. If I remember correctly the deepest of those metro stations is about five floors - because of the integration of underground shopping streets. It seems that the water was basically pumped out yesterday (finally!). The other thing that was almost basically pumped out yesterday was the nearby underground parking garage. The insurance company will be busy for a while lol What a mess! Add: their local media said that they have already got 8 of them - and shoot them dead immediately. Hope this weekend can be good weather - four weekends in row of extremely heavy rains!
  6. For thousand years, we the humankind only working on two things: how to boiling water faster and how to throwing something out further.
  7. CMS: At 9:13 CST on Sep.12, 2023, the Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft which has successfully completed its set mission, has re-entered the atmosphere under control. Most of the Tianzhou-5 components were ablated and destroyed during re-entry. Some small amounts of the wreckage fell into the predetermined safe water of the South Pacific. During the Tianzhou-5 mission, it completed the space hydroxyl fuel cell power generation experiment. The spaceborne energetic particle detection payload it carried completed its first extravehicular detection mission. Release the cube sat "XW 4 (CAS 10, Macau Student Science 1)". And break the record for the fastest rendezvous and docking between a spacecraft and a space station in 2 hours and 7 minutes. Thanks for your service and farewell, Tianzhou-5!
  8. Check out the calendar calculator, Tianzhou-5 was already served for around 304 days.
  9. During the COVID pandemic, many cities in China with mountains that weren't that convenient to deliver the PCR samples were using drones to deliver them from the residential sampling posts to the hospital. Just take the place where I work as an example, when they use drones to do that, they save at least half an hour from delivering it by car. But this is an extreme scenario - not suitable for pizza or any take-out delivery. The current drone solution for postal deliveries to some of the mountainous settlements is to use a box truck (or van) to take the parcels and follow a pickup truck for the big delivery drone. Someplace the express company and DJI were already set up takeoff points and flight paths at several locations along the route. As you arrive at the point, take the parcels on the drone, make it fly via the route, and wait for it to come back, next point. I do hope that this tech will soon become more widespread: many little convenience stores at the mountain attractions are too expensive!
  10. But according to my previous experience in England, I even saw those staff in Marks & Spencer by my eyes physically shooting Christmas ads at mid of July
  11. Considering the recent Huawei Mate60 pro mobile phone, which can connect directly to satellite signals, it's unlikely that other domestic Chinese manufacturers won't be able to follow suit in this area in the future. The prospects for demand for megaconstellation in the domestic market alone are very promising.
  12. Too bad. But this station could have been a good place for the Russian hosts to "think of an excuse to bring the old friends for a visit" when some of the old experts (or their young successors) from China cooperating with Soviet were visiting. And then do it again: "My friend, you guys don't use Tu-16 anymore, don't you?"
  13. Hopefully, some lucky civilian airliner flight will get some spectacular shots of the warhead as it re-enters the atmosphere
  14. Honestly, the most viable, cheapest, and most convenient way to solve your need to have a drone on duty 24/7 is to drag a cord underneath the drone that is connected to ground power. But if there is such a need, except in extreme scenarios like disaster rescue sites, why not use surveillance cameras?
  15. China Space News: CPC Central Committee, the State Council, and the Central Military Commission issued a joint statement saying that the top authorities had conferred a Second-class Space Service Medal on Fei Junlong, Third-Class Space Service Medal to Deng Qingming and Zhang Lu.
  16. Early-stage human kidneys grown in pigs for first time The world's best-preserved dinosaur skin fossil and a new genus of Ceratosaurus were discovered in Fengning, Chengde, Hebei. "After more than five years of excavation, restoration, and research by the research team confirmed that the two phytophagous dinosaur fossils discovered in 2017 and 2018 in Fengning, Chengde, Hebei Province, one is in the Jehol Biota and Hebei Province for the first time the discovery of stegosaurus dinosaurs, its skeleton, skin impressions preservation of nearly 100%, more than all known dinosaur skin fossils, can be called the world's dinosaur skin fossils of the most, known as the "Stegosaurus #1 in the Jehol"; the other is a new genus of ceratopsian dinosaurs."
  17. Finished the business trip and back home last night- just went to another city about 200km away from us with my group to visit our client's factory. Then, starting last night, because of a typhoon that hasn't died down yet, our part of the metropolitan area with a radius of 300km was experiencing record-breaking downpours. When I came out of the high-speed railway station and took the metro home, I saw that the gov had put up the highest rainstorm warning signal, but at this time, it was not that raining heavily outside. Then after arriving home at 9 to 10 pm, the rain started to fall harder and harder. Hong Kong, Shenzhen's neighbouring city last night: According to the weather sector, the average rainfall last night in Shenzhen was 202.8 mm, maximum cumulative rainfall was 469.0 mm. Born and grew up in Shenzhen but that was really the first time I saw rain in this heavy. This morning I saw the district where our office is located was soaked in water. All roads can go in here been lockdown as well as the metro. So, the funny thing today is we're shutting down today.
  18. Question: how do you define your super mini drones? Is it like: Or like: But it looks like your need is to keep automatic visits to secure the important places, so my suggestion might not be that super mini: And then plug with your solar panels or your wind turbine or something
  19. The university in our city, Shenzhen University said they receive 100mg of lunar sample taken from Chang’e-5. Xie Heping (谢和平), the professor of SZU first proposed the idea of “preservation for pressure, heat, quality, moisture and light” coring to obtain deep Earth rocks in 2018. And developed the related systems and equipment. Because this is reliable and feasible enough, this research were expanded to Chang’e program by CNSA. The project they will be working on is a study of the mechanism of force and heat transfer between particles of lunar soil in the vacuum electromagnetic upwelling environment in the deep space of the universe. This is one of the sixth batch of lunar samples distributed.
  20. And most of the first laboratories to receive lunar samples were given distribution within a week of those samples being brought to Earth. If memory serves, some of these were reported to have arrived at the lab the day after the notary organization did their paperwork on the samples. Still that saying I said before, any tech takes time, just please, please give them some.
