Breathing new life into colonizing the Moon? ESA to begin producing oxygen from LUNAR DUST

Breathing new life into colonizing the Moon? ESA to begin producing oxygen from LUNAR DUST The European Space Agency (ESA) has fired up its prototype oxygen plant to begin producing the element out of simulated moondust, with a view to creating a sustainable breathable air production facility on the Moon. “Being able to acquire oxygen from resources found on the Moon would obviously be hugely useful for future lunar settlers, both for breathing and in the local production of rocket fuel,” says Beth Lomax of the University of Glasgow, a researcher working on the prototype at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC). The current prototype is set up in a lab in Noordwijk in the Netherlands, but the next step is to begin fine-tuning, re...

‘He’s picking up his teeth’: NHL player Paul Stastny drips blood after taking puck to mouth in gruesome injury (DISTURBING VIDEO) Vegas Golden Knights center Paul Stastny was smashed in the face with a puck and picked his teeth off the blood-stained ice at Montreal’s Bell Center as his team lost to the Canadians. The 34-year-old was battered by an accidental high stick and a shot from Canadiens forward Joel Armia that left him sprawled on the ice with blood gushing from his mouth. Stastny had been racing back towards his own goal in a bid to stop Armia, whose attempt came off Stastny’s shoulder and left his face a gory mess. Armia tried to comfort his combatant as he left the ice, but the veteran bravely shrugged off the horrific injury and accepted...

Iran will leave pact barring it from getting nukes if complaint over 2015 deal filed with UN – Zarif Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif warned that the country will ditch the 1968 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if EU states file a complaint over its nuclear commitments with the UN Security Council.

Uncategorized

‘Like living with a gun pointed at you’: Taal Volcano island to be declared ‘no man’s land’ Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has approved a plan to declare Luzon island, home to Taal Volcano, a ‘no man’s land’, effectively ending the possibility of its former residents ever returning to their lives there. Duterte has yet to issue a formal decree in this regard, and the Philippines volcano agency had long declared Luzon a “permanent danger zone,” yet villagers have lived and worked there for decades. Officials are now calling for regulations to be both tightened and more strictly enforced in the future. Drone footage filmed on Saturday shows the entire island and practically everything on it, from abandoned homes and vehicles to vegetation, all...
