"We will definitely take them, but we will cope [with financing] on our own", Borisov told the Rossiya 1 broadcaster, answering whether Russia was ready to take other countries into the project. The new Russian space station will become a transit hub on the way to the moon, Borisov said. "This is one of the new functions, and it is being considered very seriously. The station is like a kind of transit hub, intermediate, in particular, for flights and the exploration of the Moon", he said. The state of the structures of the International Space Station (ISS) can lead to disaster, you cannot risk lives, the deputy prime minister said. "Situations that are today associated with the aging of structures, iron, can lead to irreversible consequences, to a catastrophe. This must not be allowed", he said.

Tech evolution and digitization will change the consumer habits in fintech
Fintechs have been servicing Indian MSMEs, that are having barely any access to institutional financial services owing to irregular record-keeping, loan defaults, and incomplete or unverifiable documentation, among other issues at that scale. Fintechs have found innovative ways by identifying alternate proxies to bridge the gap between these two important parts of the country’s economy, whether it’s by creating a platform to help banks verify data faster, or providing a full suite of services - including delivery - to provide an end-to-end one-stop solution. The new normal is more of social distancing, where all of us will have a preference for contactless and remote business operations and innovative business models for survival and thriving in the coming times. There have been multiple scenarios that the economy could chart, technology remains the single most important factor to help organisations sail through the chaos swiftly. Although most technologies required to drive … [Read more...] about Tech evolution and digitization will change the consumer habits in fintech
The first trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings debuts Marvel’s latest martial arts hero
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has gotten its first trailer, showing off the high-flying martial arts action and a new hero for the interconnected universe of Marvel films and shows: Shang-Chi (Simu Liu), who’s known in the comics as Marvel’s preeminent master of martial arts. The trailer serves as a short introduction to Shang-Chi as he faces off against the mysterious Ten Rings organization and its true leader, the Mandarin. The Ten Rings have been a figure lurking in the background for the entirety of the MCU, first introduced in 2008’s Iron Man (and notably spoofed by a copy-cat group in Iron Man 3 ), but Shang-Chi promises to reveal the actual group for the first time. The upcoming film also takes some inspiration from the more recent Shang-Chi series of comics , which sees the martial arts master trying to enjoy life in San Francisco away from mystical (and family) drama only for his old life to come crashing back. Shang-Chi isn’t the first modern … [Read more...] about The first trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings debuts Marvel’s latest martial arts hero
Bigfoot, weed, and murder: How ‘Sasquatch’ on Hulu reinvents the true-crime documentary
advertisement advertisement advertisement Don’t let the release date fool you. It is by now well-worn marketing logic that any film even somewhat related to cannabis typically comes out on April 20, the unofficial Stoner Christmas. But there is nothing typical about the latest weed-adjacent project with this loaded birthday. advertisement advertisement The first hint that Sasquatch , which premieres on Hulu today, is unique to the weed space—or any other space, really—is that the title does not, in fact, refer to a particularly potent strain of weed but rather to actual Sasquatches. That’s right: Bigfeet, yetis, forest-dwelling deplorables of myth. Sasquatch is a three-part documentary about an alleged triple homicide by a legendary creature out in California weed country. It doesn’t just defy expectations for 4/20 content but turns the entire true-crime genre on its head. Director Joshua Rofé didn’t set out to make an … [Read more...] about Bigfoot, weed, and murder: How ‘Sasquatch’ on Hulu reinvents the true-crime documentary
NASA Dubs 39-Second Mars Drone Chopper Flight its ‘Wright Brothers Moment’
NASA scientists have described the first flight of its Ingenuity drone helicopter on Mars as its "Wright Brothers" moment. Mars Helicopter project manager MiMi Aung made the comparison in a live webcast after the historic event, saying: "We've been talking for so long about our Wright brothers moment. And here it is." Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first powered, heavier-than-air aircraft flight of the Flyer biplane on December 17 1903, with Orville at the controls. — NASA (@NASA) April 19, 2021 The Ingenuity helicopter lifted off from the surface of the Red Planet for a 39-second flight early on Monday morning, rising vertically and hovering before touching back down. — Dr. James O'Donoghue (@physicsJ) April 19, 2021 Flight on Mars is made challenging by its sparse atmosphere, having only 1.6 percent of the density of Earth's, although the planet's gravity is just over a third of ours. That is equivalent to flying 22 miles (35 kilometres) above sea level in … [Read more...] about NASA Dubs 39-Second Mars Drone Chopper Flight its ‘Wright Brothers Moment’
