  • Israeli scientists are developing a huge umbrella to lessen Earth's temperature by nearly 3-degrees.  Here's what we know:
  • The umbrella under development is the size of Argentina
  • The Climate Change team is from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology
  • They say it could be achieved by 2027
  • The cost could reach trillions of dollars
  • Called the "Sail", it would sit 9 million miles from Earth
  • The umbrella consists of lightweight solar sails affixed to a solar powered craft
  • White House announced that it is open to plans to block sunlight to halt global warning
  • Israeli team expects to have a prototype in the next 3 years
  • The umbrella will need a specially designed rocket to take it into space
  • During the space flight, the umbrella would be folded inside and open up when it reaches its destination.

  • New nuclear fusion records are being set at the US National Ignition Facility, bringing the world closer to an era of plentiful green, clean energy.  Here are some facts:
  • US scientists have been producing as output two-times the amount of energy put into nuclear fusion reactions
  • They started setting records in 2022 and have been increasing those energy production milestones ever since
  • Fusion energy works like the sun, squeezing smaller particles together into larger atoms
  • Nuclear fusion creates more energy than the nuclear fission process in current nuclear reactors and, importantly, does not leave behind radioactive waste
  • These fusion milestones are just being published by the US scientific team
  • They are significant advances and give hope to a new era of green energy
  • Still much work needs to be done: specifically, the creation of practical fusion reactors for widespread use.

1 Hour Flight Beijing to New York City                                             Source:  China Transportation It Is Literally a Blast Chinese startup aerospace company Space Transportation's new space plane is being developed to carry passengers at speeds up to 2,600 mph in suborbital space to go from "point-to-point". That includes space tourism adventures and bullet-fast aircraft flights on Earth. The company says their new technology can fly passengers from Beijing to New York City in one hour. Space Transportation calls the new space plane a "rocket with wings".  They say it will be a fully reusable space plane with large triangular wings with rocket boosters. The concept is a blast into suborbital space and a new form of passenger air travel to space and for travel to destinations here on Earth being developed in China.   How Does ...
