Japan looks to use moon water as fuel for space exploration in 2030 The Japan Space Agency announced, Monday, that it aims to use water extracted from ice deposits on the moon as fuel in around mid-2030 to explore the moon. Japan's Kyodo News reported that the use of water-derived fuel is expected to lower costs compared to transporting fuel from the ground. Although there is no liquid water on the moon's surface, previous research indicates that there may be ice in a crater near the moon's south pole that has never been exposed to sunlight. Japan plans to work with the United States on building a lunar orbital space station in the 1920s and building a fuel plant by around 2035 at the moon's south pole. According to Japan Aerospace Exploration officials, the fuel will be used for a reusable spacecraft capable of ferrying four astronauts to and from the gate and traveling up to 1,000 kilometers on the surface of the moon. It is worth noting that water fuel that is already used as propellant fuel for missiles is produced by first decomposing water into its components consisting of oxygen and hydrogen, and then reuniting them produces energy to supply electronics through fuel cells. Other countries, including India and the United States, are planning to analyze water resources on the moon. China, which has already sent an unmanned spacecraft to land on the moon, plans to send a probe to the moon later this year to collect soil samples. It is noteworthy that scientists have confirmed finding conclusive evidence of the presence of water ice (formed as a result of freezing water) on the surface of the moon, which heralds the possibility of establishing life outside Earth. And there are layers of ice at the north and south poles of the moon, and it is likely that they are old in origin rather than modern

Standing 'like an elderly grandparent watching all the life around it’, a willow in Peterborough offers a symbol of calm in troubled times When Toby Wood’s son and daughter turned four, he took them to Central Park in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, to teach them to ride a bike. There he watched as they went on their first tentative cycle around an asphalt path that surrounds a grand weeping willow tree. “It stands there like an elderly grandparent watching all the life around it,” he says. The 69-year-old retired headteacher learned to ride a bike in the same spot, but when he was a child, there was an elegant bandstand there instead of a tree. After the bandstand was demolished in 1964, the weeping willow replaced it. “Initially, there was much local disquiet about the tree,” he says. “Over the years, people have grown to love it. Generations of children and families have met, played and had picnics under the tree. ” Read more He now brings his four grandchildren to the park. “Every time I go, there’ll be some young couple with a child on a bike with stabilisers riding around. I have a little smile because everybody does the same thing. ” Wood has known the tree since he was 13. When it was planted, it was 12ft tall; it has since reached about 30ft. “It’s like a huge umbrella, almost like a gigantic Beatle haircut because it's cut short at the bottom so that people can sit underneath it,” he says. "In very high winds in the winter, fairly large branches get blown off and the park staff have to get rid of them." When he was working, he would schedule meetings in the park by the tree, and he now visits up to five times a week. He likes to sit down with a cup of coffee while reading the newspaper, listening to the radio or “talking to my wife about what we’re going to do in the future”. Seeing the tree always puts him in a good mood. "Whatever my state of mind, I feel more at ease with the world, ready to think more clearly and tackle problems more confidently." Wood lives a 10-minute walk from the park, which provided a welcome escape from his home during lockdown. “The willow tree became a symbol of calm in troubled times,” he says. “It doesn’t matter whether it's rainy, or we’re worried about the economy, or we’re worried about Covid, it's reminding us that there’s a nice solid base to our lives.”

Mercedes-Benz has taken wraps off the all-new 2021 GLA and the souped-up AMG GLA 35. The Mercedes-Benz GLA is the entry-level subcompact SUV for Mercedes that walks the line between tall hatchback and full-fledged crossover. It offers good-looking styling and performance in a crowded market. Mercedes has completely redesigned the GLA for 2021 and made it a hair shorter and slightly taller (10 centimeters) than the previous model to create more interior space. It also gets a new 2.0-liter inline-4 engine that puts out 221 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. That’s an increase of 13 horsepower over the previous model. New for 2021, Mercedes will offer a faster and more powerful version of the entry-level crossover, the AMG-tuned Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 4Matic. The GLA 35 gets the same engine as the standard GLA, but it is tuned to put out 302 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Mercedes says that the GLA 35 can do 0 to 60 in 5 seconds. How much will the GLA and GLA 35 cost? Mercedes has not yet announced pricing for either the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA or the AMG GLA 35. We expect that prices will largely remain around the same as the 2020 model which starts at $ 34,250. The AMG version of the GLA will likely command a premium, and if history is any indication, you can expect to have to add anywhere from $ 7,000 to $ 10,000 to the price tag to get into the GLA 35. When do the GLA and GLA 35 go on sale? The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA and Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 will go on sale starting in the summer of 2020, according to Mercedes. The GLA will bow first, appearing in showrooms in the summer of 2020, while the AMG GLA 35 will show up late in 2020. Mercedes-Benz GLA and GLA 35 Engine and Transmission The Mercedes-Benz GLA gets a new 2.0-liter inline-4 engine that makes 221 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. The GLA comes in both front-wheel and all-wheel (4Matic) drive. The Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 is all new, and while it gets the same engine as the entry-level GLA, the AMG treatment bumps output to 302 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The drivetrain features an 8-speed dual-clutch AMG automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. What’s the fuel economy of the 2021 GLA? The EPA has not yet rated the 2021 GLA or GLA 35, but we expect that the base GLA 250 will get similar mileage (24 city / 33 highway) to the previous generation. Expect that the GLA 35 will be a bit more thirsty than the GLA 250. How many people does the Mercedes-Benz GLA and GLA 35 seat? The Mercedes-Benz GLA and AMG GLA 35 seats five passengers. Mercedes-Benz GLA interior Mercedes updated the interior of the GLA to bring it in line with the rest of the 2020 and 2021 lineup taking advantage of the added space thanks to the updated dimensions of the SUV. While the 2021 GLA is shorter than its previous model, it gets slightly more space inside. Legroom in the back seat, in particular, is up 4.5 inches to 38.4 inches. Headroom in the front is also up by almost an inch as well. Front legroom, however, is down just slightly, as is the headroom in the rear. Class of 2021: The New and Redesigned Cars, Trucks and SUVs The cargo area also gets a slight space increase. It is 3.3 inches wider and one inch deeper at its max, and the cargo floor can be adjusted up and down to accommodate bulky items. Mercedes also now offers a rear seat adjustment that allows seats to be tipped forward or back to make more room for cargo or make long road-trips more comfortable for back seat passengers. The rear seat gets a 40:20:40 split to allow for long items to slide through from the cargo space. Mercedes also improved visibility out of the GLA — narrowing the roof pillars to block out less of the sightlines around the crossover. What kind of new technology is in the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA? Mercedes now offers its MBUX user interface system on the new GLA as standard, bringing it in line with the rest of the line-up. The system can be voice-operated by saying “Hey Mercedes,” and comes with a full-color head-up display, navigation with augmented reality (so you can know exactly where that next turn is), and an AI that learns as you use it. The GLA is outfitted with two 7-inch displays as standard or can be optioned with one 7-inch and one 10.25-inch display, or two 10.25-inch displays. The new Driving Assistance package offers Mercedes' adaptive cruise control with stop and go (called Disctronic), parking assistance, emergency braking, assists for lane-keeping, blind-spot monitoring and lane changing as well as traffic sign and route-based speed assistance . What’s the warranty on the Mercedes-Benz GLA? The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA should come with the same warranty that Mercedes offers on the rest of its vehicles — a four year / 50,000-mile basic warranty that covers defects in workmanship. The competition: Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. BMW X1 With the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLA, we expect that the BMW X1 will slide to the back of the pack of luxury crossovers. The added power and features of the new GLA (and the addition of the faster and more powerful AMG GLA 35) make it a tough vehicle to beat if you’re looking for a compact SUV that offers both performance and space. Mercedes also still offers some of the best adaptive cruise control systems on the market, too, and the new MBUX system is very easy to use. Mercedes Benz GLA vs. Mercedes-Benz GLB You might be confused by the naming conventions here, but just know that the GLA is the smallest SUV you can buy from Mercedes. The GLB is a new vehicle, released in 2020 that gets all the bells and whistles of the GLA with more space and an optional third row. Truthfully, however, that third row is not suited for full-sized adults. Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. Audi Q3 The new Audi Q3, is really good, but a bit underpowered — particularly if you need to make a short, quick merge onto a fast-moving freeway. While we haven't had any seat time in the 2021 GLA yet, the 2020 Audi Q3 makes just a touch more power (228 horsepower) and the same torque (258 lb-ft) as the base GLA 250. We'll have to reserve our opinion in this head-to-head until we can drive the two vehicles back to back. The 2019 GLA did 0-60 in 7.2 seconds, which is roughly the same as the 2020 Audi Q3. Mercedes-Benz GLA 35 vs. Porsche Macan S While the Porsche Macan will almost certainly outprice the Mercedes-Benz GLA by thousands of dollars, the GLA 35 likely won’t be able to compete with the power and torque offered in the Macan. If you’re looking for all power and speed and almost no interior space, the Macan is the better option. If you want something that offers some speed and more space, the GLA 35 could be a good bet.

Until the arrival of the vaccine ... a prominent scientist is betting on the effectiveness of the antibodies The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the United States, Anthony Fauci, said Sunday that the antibodies that prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus in the body are one of the most promising strategies for avoiding the epidemic before the vaccines being developed arrive. Fauchi stated that drugs that depend on antibodies and other blood products from patients recovering from Corona, are effective in preventing serious injuries to the lungs. Fauchi said in an interview with the Journal of the American Medical Association that the focus in dealing with the emerging corona virus is currently focused on treating early infection or preventing infection, indicating that this represents "a bridge to cross the crisis before the arrival of the vaccine." He indicated that 100 million doses of the expected vaccine against Corona may be produced by December, and all six companies that supply the United States with 700 million doses are scheduled to deliver them by April, according to Bloomberg. A recent study published its results Thursday in the scientific journal "Science" revealed that about 14 percent of people with corona, whose condition is described as "critical", had low levels of "interferon", which contribute to regulating the body's defenses against viral pathogens. Researchers believe that this discovery would identify patients at high risk, and then treat them with "interferon" injections, or remove antibodies that block this substance in other cases.

The love of islands is a widespread affliction - why else are we still reading Robinson Crusoe after 300 years? Why Treasure Island? Why after 75 years and over 2,000 episodes are we still listening to Desert Island Discs? From the blessed isles of Tír na nÓg and Thomas More’s Utopia to the island-dramas of CS Lewis and Enid Blyton, it seems we can’t get enough of them. My own island journeys began in the 1980s, as a boy in my local library in Fife. While my mother browsed the shelves, I’d oftensit down on the scratchy carpet tiles and open an immense atlas. Galaxies of islands were laid out for exploring across the Pacific, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and I’d run my fingers over each archipelago as if reading braille. I hardly dared hope I’d reach any of them. I almost became a geographer but went instead to medical school in Edinburgh. But on finding myself with a few days off, I’d leave the buzz of the city behind to hitch north or west, and get myself on to a ferry. It wasn’t that university life was unsatisfying, or that I was trying to “get away from it all”; instead, I felt that island travel offered the chance to gather perspective - to feel part of a world somewhat emptied of the human, to recalibrate. There was a creative tension between the extremes of island and city that I began to enjoy exploring. I remember hitchhiking one year to Unst in Shetland, to reach the bluff overlooking the Muckle Flugga gannet colony - almost the most northerly point in the British Isles. There was rumored to be an albatross - a bird of the southern hemisphere - living there among the gannets, and I was enthralled by the possibility of seeing this visitor from some of the remotest seas on the planet. I passed a winter solstice on North Ronaldsay in Orkney, explored the west coast of Greenland, caught ferries between islands in the Aegean and down the west coast of Chile. It felt that with each of these journeys I was in pursuit of something. Why is it that so many seek out islands for an imagined peace or tranquility? The psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott had a great deal to say about the therapeutic value of isolation. Speaking in particular of adolescence, he made a distinction between “isolation”, which could be helpful, and “insulation”, which was pathological. He thought that we need to access isolation in order to develop a sense of wellbeing, independent from that of relatives or therapists. But at the same time we have to guard against becoming “insulated”, by which he meant impervious, closed off and unreceptive to whatever life is trying to teach us. It’s an increasingly difficult balance now that many of us - not just adolescents - are coping with a surfeit of connectedness. As online connectivity has proliferated so has a creeping epidemic of anxiety. It’s more vital than ever to find new ways to disconnect. Through my 20s and 30s a pattern of life became established: periods of intense, vivid connection in cities through medicine, followed by periods of silence, retreat and isolation; as the medical work became more intense and demanding, so did my periods of isolation. One year I left a busy job in emergency medicine to go to live in Antarctica for 14 months. After another challenging surgical job I signed up as a warden on the Isle of May, a bird reserve off the coast of Fife where the work was outdoors, silent, refreshingly physical - so different from the brain-work and clamour of A&E. Another year I pulled myself from the wreckage of a disintegrating love affair to reach Mount Athos, a Greek peninsula (and island in all but name). Orthodox monasteries on Athos have been offering hospitality to visitors and pilgrims for a thousand years, and as I hiked clockwise between them the glitter on the sea, the silence of the forests began to still the agitation in my mind. In the opposing allures of island and city there’s a paradox at work: that in the city it’s easy to become isolated and lonely, and on an island to feel part of a community. It’s as if with the former’s near-infinite possibilities of connection we can’t help but let most of it slip through our fingers: you can’t connect with everyone, and so you end up connecting with no one. And the converse is often true of small island communities - something I’ve seen first-hand as an island GP, where connections often run deep, and there’s a complex network of mutual reliance that seems enviable from a city perspective. On a small island there are challenges of resources, of transport, of weather, but often those shared challenges help bring a community together, rather than drive it apart. I’ve always loved the passage in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick when the Pacific Islander and harpoonist Queequeg is described as “entirely at his ease; preserving the utmost serenity; content with his own companionship, always equal to himself ”. While in Antarctica I read up on the psychology of what are still known as “isolated and confined environments” - deep-sea trawlers, polar bases, space stations. Many who’ve thrived in such environments have come to learn something about themselves that has made them happier, more resilient humans. This year, we’ve all learned something through the isolations of the pandemic. There is a risk here of romanticism, when the reality of island life is very different from the one imagined by city-dwellers. And it's also true that one man or woman's island can be another's metropolis - for the Faroese, Orcadians are well-connected, while the islanders of Tristan da Cunha envy those of St Helena (the latter have an airstrip, the former only a harbor) .

The Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class is already pretty fancy, but Mercedes now has a solution for those who find that it's just not fancy enough: the 2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600. With the GLS 600, Mercedes is putting the Maybach nameplate on an SUV for the first time, and the hope is to keep those well-heeled buyers out of a Bentley Bentayga, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, or a high-end Range Rover. The Maybach GLS 600 joins the Maybach versions of the S Class at the tippy top of the Mercedes model range. The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 distinguishes itself from lesser GLS variants mostly by its exterior visuals and also with its rear-seat accommodations (the thinking apparently is that this is a vehicle in which owners will want to be driven). Exclusive design elements Outside, the Maybach features an exclusive grille of multiple vertical bars, and it's topped by a good old-fashioned stand-up hood ornament (another Mercedes SUV first). Interestingly, the hood ornament is the Mercedes three-pointed star rather than the M-M hood ornament that graced the prow of Maybach models during the brand’s brief renaissance as a marque in its own right. The lower fascia features bright metal mesh, and additional brightwork is employed elsewhere, most prominently for the window trim. Power-deployable running boards feature the Maybach logo, and the model rolls specially designed wheels, grandly proportioned at 22 or (optionally) 23 inches. Most striking of all, perhaps, are the eight available 2-tone paint combinations, all unique to the GLS 600. Inside, the story is all about the back seat. First off, the third-row seat that is standard on other GLS models is jettisoned. That opens up more space for the second row, which can be a 3-person bench but is more aptly outfitted with individual Executive rear seats. The business-class-style rear seats have extendable footrests and offer heating, cooling, and massage. The seats are bisected by a large console, and behind them a wooden partition separates the cargo hold. Turbo V8 power The engine compartment is perhaps the one area where the GLS 600 doesn’t quite offer the very best the GLS can get. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 makes 550 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque — ample figures, surely, but less than the 603 horsepower and 617 lb-ft found in the AMG-enhanced GLS 63. As in other GLS models, a 48-volt mild-hybrid system called EQ Boost can contribute an additional 21 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque and also powers the active anti-roll bars. Availability and pricing The 2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 is due to arrive in dealerships in the latter half of 2020. Pricing hasn't been announced, but with the Mercedes-Maybach S560 at $ 170,750 and the Mercedes-Maybach S650 at $ 199,900, we'd expect the GLS 600 to get fairly close to the $ 200K mark.
