Placing a dummy on board an unmanned train scheduled to launch in November 2021 will provide data to help scientists understand the forces that crew members may experience during the Artemis spaceflight. II in 2023. moonikin effigy Helga and Zohar effigy The Artemis I mission will be NASA’s first mission to the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972. The Artemis II mission will send humans to the Moon. But before that milestone is made, the new Orion spacecraft and the SLS Space Launch System rocket are tested during the first launch to ensure the safety of human astronauts. Also accompanying ‘Moonikin’ on the Artemis I mission are Helga and Zohar, two models of the human body, known as Phantom, made from materials that mimic human bones, tissues and organs. Two Phantoms will sit in the back two seats on the Orion. Helga and Zohar help quantify the space radiation astronauts may experience while inside Orion during missions to the Moon. Also to evaluate the AstroRad radiation protective vest, which can reduce exposure. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are currently wearing the vest to assess fit and function. During NASA’s Artemis I mission, Zohar will wear a vest, and Helga will not. Currently, the main dummy has no name, scientists affectionately call it ‘moonikin’. Therefore, the US space agency NASA is holding an online event ‘Name the moonikin in the Artemis mission’ online event. Participants helped NASA choose a meaningful name from a list available from June 16 to June 28. Through social networks Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, participants will vote to choose the name they like and the name with the most votes will become the official name of the dummy. Voters can choose from eight potential names: Ace, Wargo, Delos, Duhart, Campos, Shackleton, Montgomery and Rigel. Specifically: 1. ACE: Straightforward, realistic. Short for Artemis Crew Explorer (rough translation: Artemis Crew Explorer) 2. CAMPOS: Ingenious, know how to solve problems. Named after Arturo Campos, who played a key role in bringing back Apollo 13. 3. DELOS: Nostalgia, romance. According to Greek mythology, this is the island where Apollo and Artemis were born. 4. DUHART: Enthusiastic, vibrant, open-minded. Named after Irene Duhart Long, the first woman minority, medical director at the Kennedy Space Center. 5. MONTGOMERY: Pioneering, innovative. Named after Julius Montgomery, the first African-American engineering specialist to work at the Cape Canaveral Space Facility. 6. RIGEL: Bright, brilliant, inspiring. Supergiant star in the constellation Orion. 7. SHACKLETON: Mysterious, rich. Named after a famous Antarctic explorer, as well as the crater on the south pole of the Moon. 8. WARGO: Energetic, enthusiastic, passionate. Named after Michael Wargo, NASA scientist and head of science for human exploration Kathryn Hambleton, a NASA spokesperson, said: “It’s important for the organization to invite the public to participate in online naming and other challenges to get everyone on the journey, inspiring the next generation of explorers. We look forward to the name chosen for the moonikin.” NASA once held contests to name ships and objects used in space exploration missions. The Perseverance, which landed on Mars on February 19, was named after a national competition in early 2020. The winner was Alexander Maher, a 7th grader in Virginia. Meanwhile, teenager Vaneeza Rupani from Alabama won when naming Ingenuity, the name of NASA’s Mars helicopter. Rupani’s essay in NASA’s 2020 “Name the Helicopter” contest won after beating 28,000 entries. Hoang Dung (translation summary)

Apollo 11 astronauts in spacesuits set foot on the Moon for the first time. Photo: NASA Hollywood films often draw attention with the iconic spacesuit, the design of which makes the public believe that it is a costume that can be taken off within minutes. But in fact, the spacesuit is a “spaceship” with its own full function, requiring the wearer to take off or take off with the help of colleagues. Cathleen Lewis, curator of international space programs and spacesuits at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum, said: “The purpose of the spacesuit essentially exists as a humanoid spacecraft, allowing astronauts to autonomously explore and do meaningful work outside of spacecraft or space stations.” Ms. Lewis said it can take up to four hours for an astronaut to get dressed, from start to finish. Before going to space, astronauts must check each piece of equipment and make sure they have enough essential supplies, such as oxygen and water. During the spacewalk, they will be supported by a team from Earth. Watch Apollo astronauts in spacesuits fall up and down in zero gravity on the Moon (source: NASA) Sarah Korona, extraterrestrial flight control specialist at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston (Texas), said: Flight controllers must adhere to a plan of procedures about 30 pages long, but still have other plans if problems arise. The “anatomy” of a space suit According to NASA, a spacesuit is made up of 6 different components and can have up to 16 layers.
Astronauts on the Artemis missions, NASA’s next program to send the first woman and first black man to the Moon, will wear the latest spacesuit, called the Visitor Mover. alien probe, abbreviated as xEMU. Before the spacesuits reach the Moon, their components will be tested on the International Space Station (ISS). NASA unveiled a prototype of the xEMU suit in 2019 at the agency’s headquarters in Washington. Photo: NASA One of the key components of the new spacesuit is the cooling fiber, said Richard Rhodes, vice president of xEMU pressurized garment development at NASA. The suit is made of tubes that help circulate water around the astronauts, regulating their body temperature and removing excess heat as they complete their work. According to NASA, each spacesuit has a portable life support system, which includes a water tank to cool the clothes, a carbon dioxide removal system, and other components, including a two-way radio for astronauts to communicate. Previous spacesuits used in the Apollo missions were less flexible than those used today. “When the Apollo astronauts walked on the Moon, they couldn’t bend down and pick up a rock,” said NASA astronaut Mike Fincke. They had to have a particularly compact tool with a handle mounted on it.” The space suit of astronaut Neil Armstrong during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Photo: NASA But the spacesuit has come a long way since then and has a more flexible construction, with active support gloves. According to Ms. Lewis, gloves are one of the most complicated parts of a spacesuit, and they are often the source of most complaints from astronauts about their suits. “Gloves are difficult to design to both protect and allow astronauts to demonstrate manual dexterity to get the job done,” the expert notes. Pressure gloves can also contract, especially after long hours in space. The astronaut’s fingers are also cold, so heating elements need to be built into the glove. Gloves are an important part of the spacesuit that NASA designed for the mission back to the Moon. Photo: NASA When astronauts train for space flight, one of their training exercises includes picking up a coin in a spacesuit while underwater, Ms. Lewis said. These explorers need extreme dexterity when working in space, and gloves are a big challenge. Much of astronaut spacesuit training is conducted in a swimming pool at NASA’s Laboratory in Houston. Water simulates the feeling of weightlessness, similar to the feeling in space. To develop the spacesuit, scientists have experimented with a variety of materials and with varying degrees of success over the years. At one point, researchers experimented with Kevlar fingertips (a fiber five times stronger than steel) on gloves. “The Kevlar material is very useful in blocking bullets but not very good at stopping knives – it is very easy to cut,” Ms. Lewis said. Astronauts currently use synthetic plastic gloves, but scientists are always looking for better options. In addition, the outside of the spacesuit has color stripes specific to each suit. Here’s how astronauts can tell who’s wearing which suit while in space. Crafting the Artemis . space suit The first step in designing a spacesuit is “understanding who you’re designing the suit for, what you want them to be able to do, and where you want them to be able to,” says Rhodes. For the Artemis program, NASA needed their astronauts to be able to safely explore the Moon’s surface. Prototype of new spacesuit, xEMU, by NASA. Photo: NASA Over the past four years, NASA has invested more than $300 million in the development of the xEMU suit. Richard Rhodes’ team tested dozens of ingredients and weighed the pros and cons of each. He said the biggest challenge for the Artemis suits was making sure they were optimized for exploration of the Moon. The suits needed to be “light enough to support a mission to the Moon and sturdy enough to protect astronauts when working in very dangerous environments”. According to Rhodes, there are thousands of parts produced to make the Artemis spacesuit, and they are sourced from all over the United States. Some parts can take up to a year to build, but NASA is working to shorten the time. Space suits will also be upgraded for the latest Moon mission. Current and past NASA spacesuits allow only minimal movement of the waist, hips, or ankles. Artemis astronauts need to have extra mobility. to be able to explore the rough terrain of the Moon, so Mr. Rhodes’ team is working on a suit that allows for more movement while still being sturdy enough to protect the wearer.

National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue visits the vaccine research and production laboratory of the Military Medical Academy – Photo: Thanh Chung A representative of the Military Medical Academy said that it has successfully researched and manufactured a test kit to detect the new strain of corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) by real-time RT-PCR method, used at more than 100 facilities. healthcare throughout the country and exported to 18 countries around the world. Continuing to research and successfully manufacture Amphabio PCR test kits with the ability to test quickly and in large quantities at the same time, which is currently being used effectively in Bac Giang province. Notably, the Academy has been trusted by the Ministry of Health to carry out phase 1 and 2 clinical trials for the Nano Covax vaccine against Covid-19 (from December 2020) and both are generating antibodies. It is expected that from June 2021, there will be a phase 3 clinical trial, deploying over 13,000 volunteers 18 years of age or older. In addition, the Academy has mobilized staff to support the prevention and control of Covid-19 in Quang Nam, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh and Laos. National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue visited and worked at the Military Medical Academy – Photo: Thanh Chung Speaking at the meeting, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue highly appreciated the efforts and achievements that the Military Medical Academy has achieved during 72 years of construction and growth, which has received the most noble achievements of the Party. , state and military. In particular, in the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic, the Military Medical Academy is one of the active, active and effective participating units. National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue said that in the current period, the task of effective disease prevention is the focus in the implementation of “dual duty”, so vaccines are an important “weapon”, strategic, decisive issues to end and conquer disease. “The XIII Congress of the Party has set a key task of focusing on controlling the Covid-19 pandemic, mass vaccination of the community with Covid-19 vaccine. Therefore, the Military Medical Academy closely coordinates with other agencies. Relevant ministries and sectors urgently speed up the phase 3 clinical trial of the Nano Covax vaccine against Covid-19, striving for early results to have a preventive vaccine for the community” – National Assembly Chairman assigned. The National Assembly Chairman also suggested that the Military Medical Academy should identify challenges such as, there are many domestic and foreign facilities focusing on research and production of vaccines. Mr. Vuong Dinh Hue analyzed that if there is no superior vaccine in terms of quality, price and supply quantity, it will fall into an opportunity trap. A number of vaccine products have been born and put into circulation in countries, along with rigorous testing by the health systems of countries, approved by WHO. However, there is currently a vaccine that has shown its effectiveness compared to the new variant; There are scenarios of monopolistic production, imposing price and quantity, but also opportunities for technology transfer in the direction of humane sharing. “So, the Military Medical Academy to research and produce vaccines, it is necessary to have the shortest time of antibodies, the shortest number of days, the better. The side effects must be minimized, especially for people with underlying diseases. and weak health. Having the ability to resist and adapt to new variants of the virus,” suggested the National Assembly Chairman. At the meeting, the Military Medical Academy proposed to allow the Academy to organize the implementation of the project “Research and Development Center for Human Infectious Diseases” which was approved by the Prime Minister at the government office. Document No. 164 dated December 31, 2020 of the Government Office, which is expected to have a number of functions and tasks such as research on pathogens, development and production of biological products for detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. treating infectious diseases, especially dangerous and extremely dangerous diseases, contributing to protecting the health of soldiers and people, especially in emergency and disaster situations. Researching foundational technologies in development, technology transfer and production of vaccines against infectious diseases, especially dangerous and dangerous infectious diseases. Agreeing with the proposal of the Military Medical Academy, National Assembly Chairwoman Vuong Dinh Hue suggested, the Academy needs a state-level scientific research program and emergency approval to research and test. production of vaccines for human infectious diseases. The Ministry of National Defense shall assume the prime responsibility for, and coordinate with relevant agencies in, facilitating and directing the Military Medical Academy to accelerate the implementation of the project “Research and development center for human infectious diseases vaccines” under the theme of: Government policy. Also this afternoon, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue visited the vaccine research and production laboratory at the Military Medicine Research Center building, under the Military Medical Academy. The National Assembly Chairman graciously encouraged the forces directly involved in research, production and volunteers to test the Covid-19 vaccine.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova. Photo: TASS In this regard, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova expressed: “If I understand their message correctly, does that mean that NATO has in fact expressed a desire to be friends? “It’s time for them to decide: either they stop coming up with spy stories, which they use as an excuse to impose sanctions, or it’s no surprise that they find themselves on the list. Russia’s list of unfriendly countries,” Zakharova said. Reportedly, in May, Russia announced that Moscow had officially considered the United States and the Czech Republic as “unfriendly” countries. With this decision, the US diplomatic missions in Russia will no longer be able to hire local staff, while the Czech missions can only hire up to 19 people. Earlier, on April 23, Russian President Putin also signed a decree on measures to deal with the “unfriendly actions” of some countries, in the context of increasing tensions between Russia and Western countries. . In an interview with Sputnik news agency, Russian Deputy Minister Sergey Ryabkov said that the Russian government never included any country on the unfriendly list arbitrarily, but on the basis of careful analysis of all side. However, Mr. Ryabkov said, Moscow is open to the possibility of reviewing this list. Also according to Russian Deputy Minister Sergey Ryabkov, especially for the US, in order to be removed from the list of unfriendly countries, Washington must immediately stop its hostile policy towards Russia and not interfere in Moscow’s internal affairs.

The Space Launch System (SLS-yellow) core module is placed between the two boosters. Photo: NASA According to Insider, the US space agency (NASA) has just released new images of a super rocket called the Space Launch System (SLS) that has just been assembled. It is the agency’s most powerful launch vehicle since the 1960s. The SLS super rocket was installed on June 11 at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, USA. This is the first SLS rocket, part of a new type of rocket designed to serve the mission of sending American astronauts back to the Moon, and beyond to Mars. The core module of the SLS rocket. NASA has aimed to test-launch the SLS super rocket in November 2021, the first step in a series of missions toward the goal of returning to the Moon for the first time since 1972. In the photo released by NASA, the core module of the rocket, up to 65 meters long, is placed between two smaller boosters. The first version of the SLS super rocket is called Block 1. Once assembled, the rocket will weigh nearly 4 tons, 110 meters high, which is taller than the Statue of Liberty (93 meters). Powerful launcher capable of carrying over 27.2 tons into orbit. That capacity means it’s powerful enough to carry the Orion spacecraft, which is expected to send astronauts into space on future missions. See the core module of the super rocket SLS being moved from New Orleans to Mississippi: Before being fully assembled, the top of the SLS rocket core module needs to be fitted with a converter and the space capsule is lowered and placed on the rocket. This is the first time the core and two boosters have been coupled together since the SLS project was announced in 2011. Photo: NASA The SLS will be launched for the first time in November this year, sending Orion into orbit around the Moon on an unmanned mission. Assembling the core module onto the booster marks the end of the second phase of rocket assembly. NASA aims to launch the SLS super rocket on its maiden flight as early as October 2021. This is the first of three missions that NASA has planned to return humans to the Moon. If the mission is successful, the world will see the first black man and the first woman set foot on the Moon in 2024. The first launch of the SLS rocket this year will be unmanned as it aims to test the rocket’s ability to deliver the lunar space capsule and return to Earth.

Photo: NASA The boosters are located on either side of the core module of the SLS rocket, which can generate 3.6 million pounds of thrust in just two minutes to lift the rocket into space. The core module itself also has a powerful engine, generating about 2 million pounds of thrust. After the first failed test, the core modules’ engines were successfully launched in about 8 minutes on May 18, paving the way for rocket assembly. The engines will power the Orion spacecraft to travel at 24,500 miles (39,200km) per hour, the speed needed to get it to the Moon. Image of SLS system viewed from above. NASA also plans to use the SLS launcher to go to Mars. The modern SLS rocket is the equivalent of the Saturn V launcher, used in the Apollo missions. But because the Moon is 1,000 times farther from Earth, we need a more powerful launchpad. NASA has big ambitions for the SLS rocket. It is designed to be flexible and adaptable, and could be used for missions to Mars, Saturn or Jupiter. The next version of the rocket, Block 2, will be designed to carry a payload of more than 101,400 pounds (46,000kg). According to NASA, it will be a “pack horse” to help transport cargo to the Moon, Mars and other distant space destinations.

Conquer the universe. Photo: Space News. The Korean Ministry of Science, Information Technology and Communication hopes that by becoming the 10th member country of the Agreement, Seoul will further expand cooperation in the field of space with Washington, participating in various fields. the Artemis space exploration program. Accordingly, about 10 years later, Korea will have development steps in space technology on par with the previous potential country. The impetus for Korea to accelerate in the space race Compared to the space powers, Korea has a late start, but the development has positive and rapid results. After the launch of Naro rocket weighing 140 tons and failed in 2013, in 2016 South Korea carried out a Project to develop a spacecraft to explore the Moon worth more than 197.8 billion won (more than 166 million USD). ). As planned, this probe will be equipped with a series of cameras, sensors and spectrometers to collect data on the Moon as well as conduct space connectivity tests. At the beginning of this year, South Korea decided to invest 615 billion won (about 549 million USD) in space projects this year, including plans to launch the first rocket built and developed by the country. new satellites. Accordingly, South Korea also plans to launch a new 200-ton Nuri rocket later this year while a second launch, carrying a satellite, is scheduled for May 2022. In addition, the country will invest 322.6 billion won in projects to develop technology and services for new satellites, and plan to launch a new generation of medium-sized observation satellites next March in Kazakhstan. and is developing a new geostationary communication satellite to put into Earth orbit. Along with participating in the common playing field, Korea’s first lunar orbiter (KPLO – Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter) scheduled to launch in August 2022 has also been developed in cooperation with NASA. In addition, ShadowCam, a device that can overcome visibility limitations to record images in dark areas on the Moon will be installed on this orbiter. ShadowCam is expected to return to the moon’s unlit areas to find potential landing points for the Artemis program. With this event, Korea has gradually developed domestic space technology, combined with the cooperation of other space powers in the world, will gradually occupy an important position in the field of space development. Generally speaking. With this participation, South Korea looks forward to setting a goal of sending its own spacecraft to the Moon by 2030. Accordingly, the country actively promotes challenging space exploration projects, by develop its own launch vehicle and by 2030 can achieve its dream of landing on the Moon. This first step will provide a solid foundation for Korea to conquer space. Korea wants to strengthen national security through this race? Over the centuries, we have witnessed many wars on land and at sea, and those wars have proved the strength of the victors and as well as the lesson of ensuring the safety of the nation, nation. And recently, we have heard and seen the so-called “ocean wars”, meaning the wars in the sea have also begun. As for outer space, decades ago, great powers in this field such as Russia and the United States developed it. And this same nation has also had competition in the conquest of space. The fact that Washington is conducting a manned lunar exploration program, a program to send astronauts to the Moon 50 years after the Apollo project in the 1970s is a sign that the US clearly has a great advantage in this field. race presence on Mars. However, experts say, so far, no country has been confident that it can send people to this planet located 225 million km from Earth. In the context of the race that has shown signs of heating in recent years, and with many worries that the Earth is becoming more and more crowded with humans, Russia and the US are both showing their ambition to soon bring humans to live. on the Red Planet and marks its sovereignty over space entities, including the Moon. From that perspective, the US wants to take action so that space activities can be transparent, preventing disputes over space activities. South Korea cannot stay out of this competition as an ally of the United States. South Korea has begun a feasibility study for a mission to discover the near-Earth asteroid – Apophis. This ensures competitiveness, but is also a first step to position the country on another planet with life in the future.

Kelly performed a spacewalk outside the space station on November 6, 2015. Time – an important “link” When humans have the opportunity to explore Mars, the crew members will carry out the mission and travel to places millions of miles away from our planet. Scientists want to understand as much as possible about the potential effects of microgravity and radiation on the human body. A big step towards this goal is the One-Year Mission, when NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko spent 340 days aboard the International Space Station from March 2015 to 2020. 2016. Space explorers have spent nearly a year living in zero gravity. The data collected before, during and after their flight made a big contribution. This will help researchers better understand what happens to the human body in space. One concern has arisen regarding astronauts, when their eyes change over long periods of time in space. This change is thought to occur when astronauts are in space for six months or more. Time spent in space also has potential impacts on their vision health. According to researchers, crew members typically spend four to six months on the space station. However, future planned missions lasting a year or longer should be considered. The effect on astronauts’ visual health as a result of long-term flight was previously known as visual impairment and intracranial pressure, or VIIP syndrome. The researchers are now referring to ophthalmic and neurological findings in astronauts after long-duration spaceflight, such as spaceflight-associated optic nerve syndrome, also known as SANS. A new study focusing on eye changes and problems astronauts Kelly and Kornienko experienced has been published in the journal JAMA Opthalmology. “About six months after astronauts began their space missions, we started to observe changes in the eyes of some people. Those changes didn’t show up during their roughly two-week mission aboard the space shuttle,” said study author Brandon R. Macias, director of the Cardiology and Vision Laboratory at NASA Johnson Space Center. in Houston said. According to Macias, the team’s preliminary findings suggest that the duration of the space mission could be responsible for changes in eye structure for the worse, such as swelling of nerve ending tissues. vision. This change has been noticed in some astronauts who have been on missions longer than a year in space. The premise for the future American astronaut Scott Kelly (left) and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko (right) spent a year on the space station. The changes in astronauts Kelly and Kornienko were compared with crew members who spent about six months on the station. Both of these astronauts experienced many changes in eye structure. One of them developed mild optic disc edema. “Disc edema can occur when the nerve fibers at the back of the eye swell or when CSF (spinal fluid) builds up around the nerve fibers. If the swelling is severe and persists for a long time, visual function can be affected,” explains Macias. Meanwhile, the other astronaut suffered from optic disc edema and the growing growth of choroidal folds. Both of them used to not realize the changes they were going through. “The retina at the back of the eye is a smooth layer,” says Macias. Folds develop when this tissue becomes wrinkled and uneven. These folds can have different patterns depending on their location and severity. This condition has the potential to impair visual function.” Two astronauts recovered from optic disc edema after returning from space. However, the choroidal folds do not always fully recover. These structural changes did not result in any significant functional changes to the eye. “There is a concern, however, that longer space missions could contribute to more structural changes to the eye. The longer these structural changes take place, the more likely they are that they can cause damage to the retina,” warns Macias. The researchers believe the new findings are a reliable measurement for monitoring the crew members’ eye structures, as well as their long-term health upon their return to Earth. At the same time, the scientists also wanted to understand why some crew members had more eye changes than others. That information could help the team figure out how to prevent neuro-eye syndrome associated with space flight. The team will measure eye activity before, during and after the task by electromechanical methods. Simultaneously, the electrical response of the light-sensitive cones and rods of the eye is measured. Scientists will also look at changes in blood flow in the retina. This may provide more insight into why some crew members undergo more changes than others.

I understand I have to go Through the deep forest Through the whispering grass Through sunny areas Of the sad desert Through the tundra, the wind is fierce Where dreams are extraordinary I practice walking step by step Together or alone I keep myself breathing For a minute the hand let go I have a couple of appointments With a couple of souls Waiting for each other on the top of the snow Or at the end of the misty cloud I go and I know I don’t go alone There’s another me beside me Of a circle of wisdom Waking up every day We all have to go Even if there are days to lie down Wait for the pain to pass. Comments The poem “Go” by Nguyen Thien Ngan evokes a permanent idea of ​​the human journey. That journey carved the shadow of existence in time. We can visualize the destination as a dream, a wish, a projection. However, no one knows for sure that that destination will always be what they once thought. In the deep forests of the mountains, where the grass whispers, where the wind is burning in the tundra, where the desert burns … there are still many things hidden that you will never know when you leave. Journey makes life. Every moment is an existence. Therefore, the central quartet is “going out” with an extraordinary dream. Maybe, on that journey, we bring an appointment to accompany us, maybe it’s just loneliness with our own shadow. But, no matter what, still have to “go” as the fate of existence. Am I lonely? If unfortunately that is true, then “My side and I are different / Of a circle of wisdom”. The circle of wisdom is a clear awareness in the spirit of the truth of life, of the dream existing in the midst of life. The poem opens deep into the deep journey when the day after tomorrow we unfortunately lie down. Lying down is actually just the start of another journey!

Design of a space tug to carry Russia’s 500kW Zeus nuclear reactor. Russia’s federal space agency Roscosmo announced that a “space tug” – a term used to refer to a spacecraft that transports astronauts or equipment from one orbit to another – is expected to carry out an interplanetary mission. planet by 2030. Accordingly, the spacecraft’s power module called “Zeus” is designed to generate enough power to propel heavy cargo into deep space. It is essentially a mobile nuclear power plant. Several countries have been eyeing similar technology as a way to shorten trips in space. Currently, spacecraft still rely on solar energy or gravity to accelerate. But that means it could take more than three years for astronauts to make a trip around Mars. Meanwhile, NASA estimates a nuclear-powered spacecraft could shorten that timeline by a year. NASA’s Juno unmanned spacecraft uses solar batteries to make a journey to explore Jupiter. Photo: NASA The US hopes to put a nuclear power plant – a 10-kilowatt reactor integrated with a lander to be exact – on the Moon as early as 2027. However, NASA has only sent one so far. nuclear reactor into space, on a satellite in 1965. Other spacecraft, such as the Mars rovers Curiosity and Perseverance, also run on nuclear power, but they do not use a reactor. Meanwhile, Russia has sent more than 30 reactors into space. Those efforts will be further pushed as the “Zeus” module uses a 500 kilowatt nuclear reactor to propel itself from planet to planet. Watch a video of a Russian space tug model announced in 2020 (Source: ETF News): According to the plan announced on the Russian state news agency Sputnik, the Zeus spacecraft will approach the Moon first, then move towards Venus. From here it can use the planet’s gravity to redirect toward its final destination, Jupiter. That will help save propellant fuel. According to Alexander Bloshenko, Roscosmos Science and Long-Term Programs Executive Director, the entire mission will last 50 months (more than four years). During a presentation in Moscow on May 22, Bloshenko said that Roscosmos and the Russian Academy of Sciences are still working to calculate the trajectory of the flight, as well as the mass it can carry. Going further, this mission could be the precursor to a new frontier of Russian space. Sputnik reported that Russia is designing a space station using similar nuclear-powered technology. The Soyuz rocket launches the spacecraft to the International Orbital Station (ISS) from Baikonur, Kazakhstan. Photo: Getty Images Nuclear power has advantages over solar energy Most spacecraft get their energy from some source: the sun, batteries, or unstable atoms called radioisotopes. For example, NASA’s Juno unmanned spacecraft at Jupiter uses solar panels to generate electricity. Solar energy can also be used to charge batteries in spacecraft, but this energy source becomes less efficient as the spacecraft gets further and further away from the Sun. In addition, lithium batteries can power shorter missions. For example, the Huygens probe used batteries to briefly land on Saturn’s moon Titan in 2005.

Putting nuclear reactors on spacecraft offers several advantages: They can survive in the dark, cold regions of the Solar System without sunlight. They are also stable, reliable in the long run. The Zeus nuclear reactor, for example, is designed to last 10 to 12 years. Plus, with their powerful energy, they can propel spacecraft to other planets in less time. But nuclear power also has its own set of challenges. Only certain fuels, like highly enriched uranium, can withstand the extreme heat of a reactor – and they may not be safe to use. In December 2020, the US banned the use of highly enriched uranium to propel objects into space if that mission was possible with other sources of nuclear fuel or non-nuclear energy. Russia prepares to build a nuclear-powered space station Russian cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov returning from the ISS landed in a remote area in Kazakhstan on April 17, 2021. Photo: Reuters Russian engineers began developing the Zeus module in 2010 with the goal of getting it into Earth orbit within two decades. And they’re on track to get there. This technology could help Russia develop a new space station by 2025. In April, the BBC reported that Russia plans to stop cooperating with the International Space Station (ISS), which it currently shares with the International Space Station (ISS). America, Japan, Europe and Canada – in that year. Russia cooperated with the United States to launch the ISS in 1998. However, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov told Russia 1 state television last month that the status of the ISS “a lot of things are not yet achieved”. . Even recently, this orbiting station has experienced air leaks and oxygen supply system failures. NASA has announced that the ISS will operate until at least 2028, however, the agency will probably maintain the station for the next 10-15 years.

Mastering technology, constantly creating… is the “heart command” of Vietnamese oil and gas people. Mission across 60 years Referring to research, development and application of science and technology (Science and Technology) at PVN is a cross-cutting task in the process of formation and development of the Group. Resolution 41-NQ/TW of the Politburo on orientation “Strategy for development of Vietnam’s petroleum industry to 2025, vision to 2035”, as well as Resolution 55-NQ/TW on orientation “Strategy Vietnam’s national energy development to 2030 with a vision to 2045” emphasized: PVN must strengthen the application of scientific and technological advances in the search and increase of oil reserves, production and business. oil and gas, electricity, nitrogen, new energy (shale oil, gas hydrate, hydrogen gas…) to ensure national energy security. General objective PVN’s development strategy especially emphasizes the need to build strong scientific and technological potential with breakthrough solutions. This is considered the driving force and foundation for PVN to accelerate development and develop sustainably. Through 60 years of construction and growth, PVN has constantly improved its research and application potentials of science and technology, actively absorbed advanced techniques and technologies, and promoted creativity and efficiency of existing technologies to achieve level with oil and gas companies in the region and in the world. Hundreds of awards have been awarded for achievements in science and technology of the oil and gas industry, including noble awards such as 5 Ho Chi Minh Prizes & State Prizes in Science and Technology, many VIFOTECH awards… And during the year Currently, continuing to 6 most typical works and projects, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has also been nominated for the Ho Chi Minh Prize & the State Prize in Science and Technology. The Petroleum people who make applied scientific works have worked hard for many years, doing both expertise and research and experimentation. For example, the Cluster of Science and Technology Works “Research and develop technology for design, construction and installation of super-long and super-heavy marine oil and gas projects suitable to Vietnam’s conditions” was deployed and completed after more than 10 years. Research and application of technological solutions in collecting, processing and using associated gas in fields of Vietsovpetro LD Vietsovpetro and neighboring fields has been carried out and deployed continuously for 25 years.. .; the TBM-02 portable synthetic carota metering station system has been researched and manufactured for 21 years; the solutions to apply science and technology to optimize the production process of Dung Quat oil refinery plant are researched and completed. completed in 12 years;… Success of “poor children” The number of benefits and achievements of the above-mentioned scientific works for the Oil and Gas industry as well as for the country, it is easy to ignore the difficult starting factor… But in fact, few people know that starting At the beginning of these scientific works, the Oil and Gas people all embarked on the implementation with the mentality of “the poor children”. The success of PVN’s science and technology cannot be ignored without mentioning the cluster of works “Research and application of technological solutions in the collection, treatment and use of associated gas in fields of Vietsovpetro LD Vietsovpetro and neighboring fields”. . At that time, LD Vietsovpetro could only exploit oil at Bach Ho, but the technology at that time only exploited oil, and the associated gas had to be burned. Meanwhile, the country is seriously lacking electricity for economic development. That fact has prompted Vietsovpetro’s officers and engineers to research and carry out gas collection, transportation, processing and bringing the associated gas to shore for power generation and nitrogen fertilizer production. After oil exploitation, with breakthrough scientific and technological solutions, in the condition of lack of facilities, Vietsovpetro pioneered to bring companion gas from Bach Ho field to shore, creating a leap in the oil and gas industry. Vietnam, creating a foundation for the development of modern gas industry. The story of researching and manufacturing the TBM-02 portable synthetic carota metering station system is also a scientific and technological mark of PVN. In order not to be eliminated from the game of oil and gas services, the staffs of Vietsovpetro Wells Geophysics Enterprise have tried their best to learn and create new things, which are more technologically superior. In those years, Vietsovpetro experts and engineers have picked up equipment of the type “cannot be repaired, cannot be bought” to dissect, research, and then integrate their most preeminent features and manufacturing a general carota metering station costs only $5,000, less than 10% of the equipment price if it has to be imported from abroad. Especially impressed with the word “portable” in the research work made by the equipment of a Russian measuring station in the past, together with the corresponding combined equipment with a mass and weight of up to hundreds of kilograms. Now, Vietsovpetro’s engineers have created a general measuring station that can interpret geophysical data, measure oil-filled fractured rock foundations…weighing less than 10kg, compact as a personal computer multiply. The East Sea Oil and Gas Operating Company (BIENDONG POC) was assigned to research and implement the construction and manufacturing of large works of the East Sea 1 project. In which, the superstructure weighs 12,500 tons and the foot block. The 11,500-ton base of the Hai Thach housing and central technology platform (PQP-HT) are works with a volume exceeding many times that of previous constructions. This is a task that international monitoring and consulting experts consider impossible. However, PTSC Marine Mechanical Services Company (PTSC & MC) – the unit assigned the responsibility, overcame difficulties to complete the project after 2 years. Up to now, with the research, completion and application of the Science and Technology Complex, successful implementation of design, construction, manufacture and installation of super-heavy-heavy drilling rigs, PTSC&MC has become the only international EPCI contractor. of Vietnam to the world market. When Dung Quat Oil Refinery Plant was in operation, the team of engineers and staff of the factory were all apprentices, so they stumbled and problems were inevitable. Therefore, the initial product quality of NM was in a state of “fluttering”. At that time, PVN has determined that to improve the quality of NM operation is a long process. Accordingly, improvement and creativity right in the actual production and operation of the factory has become a regular and continuous action. Although the production and business results of Dung Quat Oil Refinery were not high in the first years, PVN still believes that the young staff and engineers will make efforts to improve the quality of plant operation. Over the past 12 years, more than 30 solutions and initiatives have been completed, increasing the factory capacity beyond design, ensuring product quality to the highest level. Currently, science and technology has been applied in all fields of production and business activities of the Group, especially research focusing on professional and specialized directions. The basic investigation of oil and gas has been actively deployed by PVN and the research results are considered as a reliable scientific basis, having important implications in formulating the development strategy of PVN. helping to make the right decisions and policies in production and business activities. The research, development, proposal and successful application of petroleum science and technology solutions not only bring great economic benefits to the country, but also make important contributions to the science and technology industry. oil and gas of Vietnam and the world. Those are eloquent demonstrations of the creative ability of oil and gas people – who always deserve to be entrusted with the belief to make the impossible possible.

Russia’s federal space agency Roscosmos has said that a “space tug” – a term used to refer to a spacecraft that transports astronauts or equipment from one orbit to another, is expected to be launched into space. to perform an interplanetary mission in 2030. This spacecraft is powered by a power module called Zeus. Basically, Zeus is like a mobile nuclear power plant, able to generate enough energy to operate spacecraft, transport equipment and goods in space. Currently, several countries are interested in similar technology as a way to shorten journeys in space. Design of the space tug. Photo: Roscosmos. Traditionally, spacecraft have relied on solar power or gravity to accelerate. This means that it takes astronauts more than 3 years to make the trip around Mars. NASA estimates that a nuclear-powered spacecraft could make that journey in a year. The US hopes to put a 10-kilowatt nuclear reactor integrated with the lunar lander, on the Moon as early as 2027. However, so far, NASA has only put one nuclear reactor. launched into space for the SNAP-10A satellite in 1965. Other spacecraft such as the Mars Curiosity and Perseverance probes are also nuclear-powered, but they do not use a reactor. Meanwhile, Russia has sent more than 30 nuclear reactors into space. The Zeus module is expected to further Russia’s space efforts by using a 500 kilowatt nuclear reactor to power spacecraft to travel from planet to planet. other planets, Sputnik quoted information from Roscosmos said. According to the Russian plan, the nuclear spacecraft will approach the Moon first, then head towards Venus, where it can use the planet’s gravity to move to its final destination, Jupiter. This will help save propellant. The entire mission will take 50 months (more than four years), said Alexander Bloshenko, executive director of development programs and advanced science at Roscosmos. According to the official, Roscosmos and the Russian Academy of Sciences are still working to calculate the trajectory of the flight, as well as the payload the spacecraft can carry. Ultimately, this mission could lay the groundwork for a new strategy for the Russian aerospace industry. Sputnik reported that Moscow is designing a space station using similar nuclear energy technology. The advantage of nuclear energy in the universe Most spacecraft get their energy from some source: the sun, batteries, or radioactive atoms (also called radioisotopes). For example, NASA’s Juno spacecraft at Jupiter uses solar panels to generate electricity. Solar energy can also be used to charge spacecraft batteries, however, it becomes less efficient if the spacecraft is far from the Sun. In other cases, lithium batteries could help power spacecraft for short journeys. Earlier in 2005, the Huygens probe used batteries to make a lightning landing on Saturn’s moon Titan. NASA’s Voyager spacecraft uses radioactive isotope (sometimes called a nuclear battery) to survive in the harsh environments of the solar system and interstellar space, but this is not the same thing. integrate a nuclear reactor into the spacecraft. Nuclear reactors offer several advantages as they can survive in dark and cold areas of the solar system without sunlight. They are also quite useful and quite reliable for long-term activities. The Zeus nuclear reactor is designed to last 10 to 12 years. In addition, they can propel spacecraft to other planets in less time. But nuclear power also presents some challenges of its own. Only certain fuels, such as highly enriched uranium, can withstand the extreme heat of the reactor. Furthermore, they may not be safe to use. In December 2020, the United States banned the use of highly enriched uranium to send objects into space if the operation could be made possible by other alternative sources of nuclear or non-nuclear fuel. Russia is about to build a space station in space Russian engineers began developing the “Zeus” module in 2010 with the goal of putting it into orbit within two decades, and they are on track to accomplish this goal. Production and testing commenced in 2018. By 2020, Roscosmos has signed a contract worth 4.2 billion rubles ($57.5 million) with St. Petersburg for the preliminary design of the space station. This will help Russia accelerate its efforts to develop a new space station by 2025. Earlier in April 2021, the BBC said that Russia plans to withdraw from the International Space Station (ISS) by 2025 and is ready to build its own space station. The International Space Station was established in 1998. This is an international cooperation project of 16 countries including the US and Russia, Japan, Canada, European Space Agency member states and Brazil. with a total investment capital of more than 100 billion USD.

As noted by Fox News, NASA’s rocket launch window opened at 20:04 and the rocket launched at 20:36 on the same day. About 10 minutes after launch, the Black Brant XII rocket ejected barium vapor at an altitude of about 350-400km above the Atlantic Ocean, just north of Bermuda and about 870-900km from Wallops. The barium vapor from the NASA rocket is not harmful to the environment and has formed two blue-violet clouds that can be seen across the East Coast for about 30 seconds. However, clouds prevented the launch from being viewed with the naked eye. “This is the last date NASA intends to authorize a rocket launch from Wallops. The vocal rocket was originally scheduled to launch on May 8 but has been postponed several times a week,” Fox News wrote and reported. For further information, the Black Brant XII rocket launched during NASA’s KiNet-X mission – designed to study how energy and momentum is transported between different regions of space with a magnetic connection. The Black Brant XII missile is a 4-stage rocket. Peter Delamere, KiNET-X principal investigator from the University of Alaska Fairbanks said: “The aurorae – also known as the north pole or pole light, is formed when particles in the ‘near universe’ of the Earth’s ‘near space’. Earth interacts with the atmosphere Electrons in Earth’s space environment and in the solar wind are relatively low in energy, however, the aurora is produced by very high energy electrons. Vapors emitted from the rocket’s payload will generate magnetic interference and potentially energized electrons.KiNET-X consists of a single rocket launch carrying seven separable payloads – equipment primary diagnostic device, along with four small sideloads and clouds of barium vapor set to release from two additional, larger payloads”. Beautiful performance Analyzing further, meteorologist Katie McGraw told News 5 that when the launch happened, people in Northeast Ohio could see it thanks to clear skies. NASA called the May 16 launch of the Black Brant XII rocket a “beautiful display” and couldn’t have written a better story. Katie McGraw further revealed that the Black Brant XII rocket was used for the mission to explore energy transport in space. Black Brant is the result of research at the Canadian Arms Research and Development Facility (CARDE) in the 1950s into the nature of the upper atmosphere as part of ongoing research into anti-missile systems. ballistic fire and long-range communications. The launch took place on May 16 after a week of waiting. In 1957, CARDE contracted with Bristol to produce a simple rocket fuselage, called the Propulsion Test Vehicle, for high-powered solid fuel studies. Albert Fia’s design is quite heavy, as it is designed to accommodate a wide range of engine burn times, propellant loads and launch angles well suited to its role as a test vehicle for development. ABM system. The first test flight took place just two years later. CARDE’s attention then turned to long-distance communications, and they found the propulsion test vehicle system useful as a locating missile. To better suit this role, Bristol modified the design to be lighter and more suitable for the Black Brant missile role. CARDE has launched several Black Brant rockets over the years with the original Black Brant I design able to carry a payload of 68 kg to an altitude of 150 km and fly for the first time in October 1960. The missile’s design emphasizes payload reliability and range. There are 12 versions of the Black Brant and the Black Brant XII is a four-stage sonic launcher manufactured in 1995. The missile was first launched from the Andoya rocket range off the northwest coast of Norway and caused an explosion also known as the fear of Black Brant. This incident has put Russia’s nuclear forces on high alert, fearing a high-altitude nuclear strike could blind Russia’s radar, and Russia’s Cheget “nuclear briefcase” has been put on high alert. sent to Russian President Boris Yeltsin, who must then decide whether to launch a retaliatory nuclear strike against the United States. This is the first and only known incident to date where any nuclear-weapon country has activated its nuclear briefcase and prepared for an attack. On September 19, 2009, a Black Brant XII rocket launched to study the clouds caused calls from eastern North America reporting “strange lights in the sky”. NASA reported that the light came from an artificial noctilucent cloud formed by the exhaust particles of the rocket’s fourth stage at an altitude of about 278 km.

Working session between Minister Le Minh Hoan and NNVN Newspaper on the morning of May 22. Photo: Dinh Tung. On the morning of May 22, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan visited and worked at the Newspaper Vietnamese culture . Also attending were Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Hiep and leaders of some units in the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. ‘The mission of the press is to transmit multidimensional information’ Minister Le Minh Hoan is a regular newspaper writer under the familiar pseudonym Cyclo. Therefore, when talking with staff, reporters, editors and employees of the Newspaper, Vietnamese culture , he did not talk much about the responsibilities and functions of the newspaper in general. Instead, Minister Le Minh Hoan spends most of his time sharing inspirational stories about journalism. “Why did the founder of Apple Corporation use the apple logo as a logo? Because, life is not perfect and each of us has to work to make the dent fill up. up”. Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan. Photo: Dinh Tung. The minister raised the issue and continued: “Because nothing is perfect, we have room to think, create and answer the questions why, why and why?”. When journalists go to the fields, wade fields, and meet relatives, they must always ask the question, why are farmers still poor? Why is the countryside undeveloped? Why is the agricultural value chain broken? Why do we want to eat clean but the food is not safe?… Minister Le Minh Hoan said: Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung – Minister of Information and Communications said a very good sentence: “The word question will stimulate discovery and investigation”. Good journalists know how to ask good questions. Sometimes the question is more important than the answer. In front of the team of journalists Vietnamese culture, Mr. Le Minh Hoan emphasized: “Once upon a time, journalism was a tool for propaganda, but later on, we realized that the mission of the press is not only one-way communication but a multi-dimensional information transmission channel. “. It is information from life that will lead to the adjustment of the leader’s decision. If that transmission channel is blocked, it will be difficult to grasp the voice of life. Elevating the role of the press in the current era, the Commander of the Agriculture and Rural Development sector said: The development of the press and media will create added value for the connected economy. If we do well, we can activate an entire society, activate classes, change production and business models. “Journalists themselves contribute to creating added value for agriculture by communicating new models, new ways of doing things, and new products,” said Minister Le Minh Hoan. “The value of a product includes cost and intangible factors such as local traditions, history, culture… And we not only sell products but also emotions to consumers.” . Therefore, journalists also need to know how to breathe life into the products. In order for readers to have feelings about their work, journalists first need to read a lot, travel a lot, be moved and be moved by the things they witness. For example, when propagating about building a new countryside, we should not put too much emphasis on 19 criteria, on infrastructure. “New rural propaganda is about both the core and the soul”. When returning to the locality, do not see the new concrete road, the new cultural house, the new bridge, the new medical station but rush to rejoice. The village must retain its soul, retain its walls of green trees, a fresh environment, a harmony between people, nature and socio-cultural institutions. “If the city is the place to compare the level of civilization, the village is the place to compare the history and culture of the nation”, the Minister shared. Multimedia press agency Newspaper Editor-in-Chief Vietnamese culture Nguyen Ngoc Thach said that in October 2020, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development approved the Project on Development and Management of Newspapers. Vietnamese culture to 2025, with orientation to 2030 to realize the development goals of the Newspaper Vietnamese culture “becoming a multi-media, multi-platform press agency with a comprehensive ecosystem”. At the same time, this is a newspaper with in-depth and specialized content that is “updated, reliable, oriented, spread and effective” on agriculture and rural development on the basis of multimedia journalism and digital technology applications. Editor-in-Chief of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper Nguyen Ngoc Thach at the meeting with leaders of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Photo: Dinh Tung. Overview of the results achieved in the past time, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thach said, Newspaper Vietnamese culture was evaluated by the Central Committee for Propaganda and Training, the Vietnam Journalists Association, and fellow press agencies as “one of the press agencies with a streamlined apparatus, high-quality human resources, effective and efficient operation. present results”. “All rivers flow, stand still and fall behind” “Current journalism activities pose huge problems, changing or stopping, and how to change to live is difficult,” Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Hoang Hiep suggested. He said that the newspaper Vietnamese culture have overcome difficult times, are the few newspapers that have been continuously awarded certificates of merit by the Central Committee for Propaganda in the past 2 years, for both keeping the principle of purpose and improving the material life. , spirit for cadres, civil servants, public employees and employees. Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Hoang Hiep. Photo: Dinh Tung. However, if we just stop at that level, it will not work. Because “all rivers flow, if we stand still, we will definitely fall behind”. Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Hiep proposed the Minister, leaders of agencies and units under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to create conditions and closely coordinate to report to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Vietnamese culture have resources to continue investing in infrastructure, equipment and technology, etc. to constantly develop, thereby fulfilling the task of information and propaganda of the agriculture and rural development sector. Mr. Nguyen Van Viet, Director of the Planning Department (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) said, Newspaper Vietnamese culture is a self-financed non-business unit, but over the years the newspaper has done very well the functions and tasks assigned by the Ministry. At the same time, the newspaper has also built a propaganda ecosystem commensurate with the development requirements in the 4.0 period.

DOGE-1 will send a 40 kg Geometric Energy Corporation satellite to the Moon. This satellite will collect information about the planet Earth. Representatives of the two companies have not announced the contract value paid in Dogecoin. The DOGE-1 program will send a satellite to the Moon on a Falcon 9 rocket. Fees are paid in Dogecoin. Photo: SpaceX. SpaceX vice president Tom Ochinero said the DOGE-1 program “will demonstrate the application of extraterrestrial cryptocurrencies and lay the groundwork for transplanetary commerce.” Earlier, Elon Musk said that SpaceX will “actually put a Dogecoin on the Moon”. However, he made his statement on April 1, so no one is sure if he was joking or telling the truth. SpaceX is not the first company run by Elon Musk to accept cryptocurrency payments. In February, Tesla announced it was buying $1.5 billion in Bitcoin and accepting payments for cars in the currency. The move caused Bitcoin price to surge. In the crypto world, the term “to the moon” is often used to refer to a coin’s value skyrocketing. According to Coinmarketcap, on the morning of May 10 (Vietnam time) Dogecoin is priced at about 0.55 USD, with a market capitalization of 72 billion USD, ranking 4th after Bitcoin, Ethereum and Binance coin. Before that, Dogecoin had 2 strong volatile weekends. On May 8, the news that Elon Musk hosted Saturday Night Live caused the price of Dogecoin to increase sharply. According to Coinmarketcap data, the value of each Dogecoin coin has increased from $0.34 on May 1 to $0.69 as of the morning of May 8. Many fans of Musk and Dogecoin even plan to invite friends over to watch and celebrate if the coin’s price skyrockets. On the morning of May 8, Elon Musk posted on his personal Twitter a picture of him and two other guests of Saturday Night Live. Musk also inserted a picture of the dog Shiba, the symbol of Dogecoin, into the frame. Soon after, the Dogecoin price increased rapidly and reached an all-time high of $0.72 before cooling off. The price of Dogecoin dropped dramatically on the morning of May 9, before Elon Musk hosted Saturday Night Live. Photo: Coindesk. However, before the time of Elon Musk’s broadcast, the price of Dogecoin dropped dramatically. According to the data of Coinmarketcap , from nearly 0.7 USD, Dogecoin dropped to more than 0.5 USD after more than 30 minutes of the program. The market capitalization of this coin dropped from $90 billion to just $68 billion after 1 hour, more than $150 million of leveraged investors was blown away. As expected by many, Elon Musk mentioned Dogecoin in the middle of the show. “Recently, the prices of many cryptocurrencies have increased, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and especially Dogecoin,” replied Elon Musk when asked “what is cryptocurrency”.

Chinese people watch the rocket that sent the Tianwen-1 probe into space. Photo: AP The China National Space Administration (CNSA) announced on May 15 that the Tianwen-1 (Tianwen-1) probe had successfully landed on the surface of the “Red Planet”. “China has left its footprints on Mars for the first time, an important step for our field of space exploration,” Xinhua news agency said. The New York Times reported that since 1976, the US has successfully landed on Mars nine times. The Soviet Union in 1971 became the first country to send a lander to the surface of the Red Planet, but the mission was unsuccessful because the probe then stopped transmitting. Recently, China has continuously recorded new space science achievements. On the morning of April 29, China launched the first module to build its own Space Station (CSS). It seems that to catch up with the US and Russia, China’s ambitions do not stop at Mars and the space station. Moon Dream In January 2019, China was the first country to land a probe on the dark side of the Moon. The dark side can be understood as the night side of the Moon while the other side is observable from Earth due to receiving sunlight and is the day side. This is China’s second successful landing on the lunar surface, the first being in 2013. China is the third country in the world to successfully explore the Moon, after the US and Russia. In December 2020, China sent another probe to the Moon, which is Chang’e-5. On December 16, 2020, the Chang’e-5 spacecraft landed in Inner Mongolia carrying samples from the lunar surface. This is the first time scientists have collected samples from the lunar surface, after the Soviet Luna-24 mission in 1976. Moon samples brought back by Chang’e-5 are on display at the National Museum of China in Beijing. Photo: Getty Images China plans to launch three more spacecraft to the Moon by 2027. Beijing’s goal is to establish a base on the Moon that can be accessed by astronauts within the next decade. In March, the Russian space agency Roscosmos said it would cooperate with China in building a research station on the Moon. However, the two countries have yet to announce the details of this coordination plan. Serious competition The fragmentation of China’s Long March 5B missile falling into the Indian Ocean in May has drawn much criticism from international public opinion. In April, this Long March 5B rocket sent the core module into space to build China’s first space station. In the near future, China plans to carry out 11 more launches to complete the space station by the end of 2022. The International Space Station (ISS) jointly developed by Russia, the US and many countries will “retire” in 2024. It is still unclear what will happen next. The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) advocates keeping the ISS operational for a few more years. Russia meanwhile announced it would withdraw from 2025. In the event that the ISS is completely shut down, China will be the only country that owns the space station. Accordingly, the Chinese space station named Thien Cung is expected to be able to host three astronauts operating at the same time. China has selected a team of 18 astronauts, including only one woman. The first three astronauts are expected to spend three months in space. Mars and more Model of China’s first space station. Photo: AP China announced that it plans to make one more Mars landing by 2028 and bring samples from the planet back to Earth for study. NASA and the European Space Agency are also embarking on this work in the hope that the US Perseverance probe, which landed on Mars in February, can bring soil and rock from Mars to Earth by 2031. This is said to be more likely to lead to a race between the parties. China also plans to take 10 years to collect samples from the comet. In addition, the country also intends to set up spacecraft to orbit around Venus and Jupiter. By 2024, China plans to launch a space telescope like the US Hubble, which has been in orbit since 1990. On China Space Day (April 24), President Xi Jinping wrote a letter to senior space scientists, encouraging them to “intensify and expand space exploration and rapidly quickly turn China into a space power.

Le Van Em (45 years old, living in Cu Chi, Ho Chi Minh City) is an antique dealer with a large number of antiques. I came from the business of washing bottles, then switched to selling sidewalk watches. Life moves forward, Em is predestined with marine antiquities, mainly ancient coins. In 2010, I was given some old coins from the time of King Gia Long by my uncle who went to the sea. At that time, I thought this was just for pocket fun. Unexpectedly, in my spare time on the sidewalk, I brought a coin out to polish it and thought of designing a clock face from ancient coins. Being skillful with her hands and having a job, in only 3 days, I was able to “produce” a sidewalk clock with a unique and rare antique facade that is hard to find. Customers who have money, like to play unique goods, pay very high prices. I sold the antique watch for 30 million dong. From 5 ancient coins, Em earned a good amount of money, changed her life, people began to mention the nickname Em “ancient money”. Standing in front of the Tien cave, Mr. Tu said that the ancient coins believed to belong to King Gia Long are very rare and are no longer wandering among the people. Feeling delicious, I made a trip to the places where ancient money was kept, intending to collect a bunch of goods or at least buy them from people around the area. No one knows if Em’s actual trip to search for antiquities will be successful or not, but, returning, Em has continuously produced glittering and sparkling Gia Long watches that are offered for sale at sky-high prices. stop. Not only selling antique watches, Em also sells raw coins to make necklaces or to make rings and bracelets. I no longer sit on the sidewalk but bring an antique shop to my house in Cu Chi. Antiques are not for the crowd. For those who don’t like it, it’s just trash or an ordinary decoration. However, this is the immense love of antique “sheep”. They are willing to spend a lot of money to get their favorite item. Therefore, my customers are not many but quality. Every month I sell a watch and earn tens of millions of dong, while the original price is only equal to a bunch of fish and vegetables, sometimes given away for free. Marine antiquities, including ancient coins on shipwrecks, have been found a lot in the waters of Vietnam and around the world. Ancient coin players believe that ancient coins are always a tool used a lot in feng shui. The coins are a symbol of wealth and wealth. Its sand not only increases fortune, but you bring a lot of luck in terms of fame, career and disaster relief, small people… Ancient money taken from the bottom of the ocean also carries spiritual miracles. deluding. In it, there is a protective deity. In that sense, even selling “exorbitantly” no one complains. If they’re unlucky and buy a fake, they won’t have the strength to fight with guys like Em. It is not acceptable to be confused between real antiques and fake money to profit on the beliefs of others. Real coin players do not accept such deceitful wholesale. And antiquities enthusiasts find themselves traumatized by being deceived. Ancient coins in the reign of King Gia Long became a bustling commodity in the world of antiques. My ancient Gia Long King coins are advertised “sometimes” in a cave in the middle of the sea in Kien Giang. It is a rocky mountain, inside there is a very large cave, the locals call it Tien cave. Here, hundreds of years ago, people in the area picked up a lot of coins, which are said to be left by King Gia Long – Nguyen Anh while he fled to the South. Mr. Tu, a longtime resident who is knowledgeable about this vestige, said: “Many old people in the area have found ancient coins in the cave. Copper coins, due to being soaked in salty sea water, were rusted, chipped, and rotted, so they were no longer wandering among the people. Now it’s hard to earn even a penny, where can you get a lot to trade?” Mr. Tu led us to Tien cave to see the market. Through the seasons of high tide, the stone slabs have been smoothed away, revealing many traces of history. In the cave, there are still a few digging tracks left by people hunting for artifacts. It is not known when the hunters came here to excavate and no one knows what they found in those holes. But, Mr. Tu asserted, for more than 20 years he had lived in this area, he had no longer seen Gia Long ancient coins. Gia Long ancient coins are sold by traders at the price of… kings. On a famous e-commerce site, many ancient Vietnamese coins are for sale, including coins from the Nguyen dynasty for a few tens of millions to several hundred million dong. An ancient coin from the reign of King Minh Mang (1791-1841) is for sale for $2,550. A gold coin from the Thieu Tri Dynasty (1807-1847) cost $2,050. Gold coin from the reign of King Tu Duc is priced at more than 8,700 USD… “Magic” the artifact Antiquities of the ocean, always considered a treasure that is hard to find. Negotiations for antique deals took place with “huge” money. Mr. Mai Trong T. (living in Cu Chi District, Ho Chi Minh City) 20 years ago was an antique dealer with a hierarchy in the world. Mr. T. was originally a wood merchant. The trips and extensive relationships gave Mr. T. a lot of knowledge about antiques. Once going to Con Dao (Ba Ria – Vung Tau), Mr. T. bought an ancient sword with the body of the sword engraved with the words “Thuan Thien”, which translates as “according to the will of heaven or acting on behalf of heaven”. The origin of the sword is still obscure, but its fame has spread throughout the South. People play antiques in Ben Tre, Can Tho, Tien Giang, City. Ho Chi Minh sought Mr. T. to admire the king’s treasure. Negotiations, bargaining late at night, morning and evening took place in Mr. T.’s old house in Cu Chi. Mr. T himself is also fond of antiques, being the things of kings is nothing more precious. The Thai An Sword of King Gia Long is currently on display in a museum in France. According to the spiritual concept of the antique world, the sword symbolizes the strength and authority of a man. There are more golden words engraved on the back of the sword, proving that its owner in the future will be a king with his head on the sky and his feet on the ground. While comparing and calculating, there was a giant in Ho Chi Minh City. When Ho Chi Minh entered the house, he stamped his feet and shouted 5 billion VND. At the time nearly 20 years ago, that was a huge number, able to buy a few houses on the street. Mr. T. sold immediately. Since then, Mr. T. has completely abandoned the timber trade and switched to hunting antiques from the sea. He said that antiques lying under the sea are treasures of the ocean containing countless mysteries. Each item is a part of the soul of the sea, because of some fate that rises to the surface. Mr. T. affirmed: “Every antique of the sea is an epiphany”. Trading in marine antiquities gave Mr. T. a lot of money. At one time, his house contained tens of kilograms of gold and sacks of money. He was engrossed in hunting trips to reserve and wait for his time. With a lot of money, he invested in antiques. Whenever anyone has something, he buys it, he collects it all. In 2013, Mr. T. heard that fishermen excavated and recovered a shipwreck in the waters off Con Dao district. The collection includes 300 antiques with categories: bowls, vases, jars, cups, weights, illuminators, mirrors, decorative stones… made of ceramic, porcelain and metal materials. Especially discovered a number of Chinese coins minted in 1017-1021… Determined, this ship was wrecked around the end of the 14th century… However, Mr. T. was unable to access these artifacts because they were brought to the museum for display. He was led to a fishing village by an antique “stork”, to an old ship containing a bunch of fake “antiquities” that were “clothed” like the real thing. Mr. T. was immersed in it, was charmed by the lure, and then went down to collect the whole “scrap” ship home. He divided the categories, and then began to sell. Some people in the world came to see, there were people who were new to the profession but believed in the level of playing sea antiquities of Mr. T. should rush to buy. Some people, just looking at it, know it’s fake, they told Mr. T. they were scolded by him for a match and chased away. Sculptures on seashells, fossils of hundreds of years under the ocean were purchased by the owner for an “undisclosed” price. Although he firmly defended his antiquities policy, many brothers in the profession recommended him, so Mr. T. quietly hired an appraisal company. The result is fakes, imitations, antique coins, swords and swords that are mediocre things that have been coated with paint and a little chemical preservative. Because he regretted the large amount of money spent, Mr. T. turned himself into a professional liar. He used his reputation and fame to play marine antiquities for many years to start a witch trade. Not only did he cheat in the country, but he also deceived the foreign players. Typically, the sale of antique wine jars, woven by Mr. T. through the story of a Greek ship carrying about 3,000 to 4,000 double-handled ceramic vases, is considered an ancient storage object used to transport wine. sunk around the 5th century BC. Mr. T. told the customer, he had been to Greece to hunt and buy this thing. In fact, he has never stepped foot out of Vietnam in his entire life. The guest widened his eyes in surprise, but he was very careful to bring along a student working in architecture, with a little knowledge of antiquities. Having just finished viewing Mr. T’s marine treasures, the student shook his head and turned to whisper in the teacher’s ear. The Western guest’s face turned from red to pale, then he showed an angry expression. From a master of antiques, briefly “on the elephant”, now Mr. T. has become an ugly, two-faced man, losing all credibility. The guests who had mistakenly bought his unique and strange goods, had to be silent, then cut off the intimacy. For nearly a year now, Mr. T. has not been able to sell any goods, even if they are real. “Antiques carry the soul and contain many mysteries, it can make people have everything, but it will also lose their status if they are forever ecstatic with the fame and profits from it”, Asian record holder, collector Dinh Cong Tuong’s antique collection has drawn the truth after nearly half a century of studying ancient culture.

Model of China’s first space station at the 2010 exhibition in Zhuhai city. Photo: Kin Cheung / Associated Press China has now achieved what the US and the Soviet Union did before: a successful landing on Mars. After orbiting the planet since February, the Tianwen 1 rover sent a vehicle to land on the surface of Mars. The probe will join three NASA spacecraft that are surveying Mars. China’s Mars mission may seem less appealing than NASA’s latest mission, because it’s essentially repeating the feats Americans achieved decades ago. But it represents another milestone in China’s ambitions to transform itself into a “space power,” as President Xi Jinping announced in April. Many potential milestones lie ahead. Conquer the Moon In January 2019, China became the first country to land a probe on the dark side of the Moon. This is China’s second successful moon landing, after one in 2013. At that time, China sent a rover on the lunar surface and it is still operating to this day, far exceeding the initial 3 month expectation. In late April, it roamed nearly half a mile from its starting point in the Von Kármán crater near the moon’s south pole, according to Chinese television. In December 2020, China sent another spacecraft to the Moon. It shoveled nearly 2kg of rock back to Earth. This is the first lunar specimen since those collected by the Soviet Union during the Luna 24 mission in 1976. Some samples are on display in Beijing. China names its lunar probes Chang’e with serial numbers. Three more will hit the road in 2027, with more flying probes and even 3D printing trials in space. These missions aim to lay the groundwork for a Moon base and astronaut visits in the 2030s. To date, only the US Apollo program has sent people to the Moon. In March, Russia’s space agency Roscosmos said it would work with China to build a lunar research station, though it did not give details of any joint plans. Enemy space station China’s launch of the main module for its latest orbiting space station in April attracted more international attention than expected for unwarranted reasons. After reaching orbit, the main booster fell ominously back to Earth: “uncontrolled re-entry”. Debris landed in the Indian Ocean in May, nearly losing the Maldives and sparking criticism over how China carried out its heaviest rocket launch, the Long March 5B. More similar cases will continue. This is the first of 11 missions needed to build China’s third and most ambitious space station by the end of 2022. Two more Long March 5B rockets carry additional modules and new ones. Variations with smaller parts. Next June will have four missions to be carried out, sending Chinese astronauts back into space after more than four years. Watch the launch of the rocket carrying the Mars probe Tianwen 1 in Wenchang, China. Photo: AP China’s first two space stations are short-lived prototypes, but the station is intended to be operational for a decade or so. The International Space Station, jointly developed by the US, Russia and other countries, is nearing the end of its expected life cycle in 2024. What happens after that remains unclear. NASA has proposed keeping the station operational for several more years; Russia has announced it intends to withdraw its troops by 2025. If the station is shut down, China could be the only country with a space station for a while. This Thien Cung station will be able to accommodate 3 astronauts for long-term missions and 6 astronauts for shorter periods. China has chosen a team of 18 astronauts, some of them civilians (only one is a woman). The first three are expected to spend three months in space, surpassing the 33-day record set by Chinese astronauts in 2016. Hao Chun, director of China’s manned space agency, told the press that astronauts from other countries would be allowed to visit, under the docking mechanism “in line with China’s standards”. “. Some foreign astronauts are prepared to learn Mandarin. Conquer Mars The Mars mission is trying to achieve feats that NASA has achieved for many years. The Tianwen 1 spacecraft has reached orbit around the planet and has now safely brought one to the surface. The Soviet Union was the first country to send a spacecraft to Mars in 1971, but seconds after touching down, the lander stopped communicating, possibly due to a sandstorm. It transmits an incomplete or undecipherable image. Since then, several other countries’ attempts to reach the surface have failed. Only the US has succeeded in landing on Mars. China tried to send an orbiter to Mars in 2011, but the Russian rocket carrying it failed to get out of orbit and both crashed back to Earth. China’s Tianwen Orbiter has surveyed Mars and its landing site, Utopia Planitia, a large basin in the northern hemisphere where NASA’s Viking 2 landed in 1976. The Zhurong rover is named after a position. god of fire, will conduct a number of experiments studying the topography, geology and atmosphere of the planet. China says it plans to send a second lander to Mars in 2028 and eventually return samples from the planet to Earth. That’s a goal NASA and the European Space Agency are hoping to achieve by 2031. China’s mission could happen this decade, setting up a potential race. In addition to the Mars mission, China is planning a 10-year mission to collect samples from an asteroid that passed by the comet. Simultaneously in orbit for Venus and Jupiter. In 2024, they plan to launch a telescope with an orbit similar to Hubble, which was first launched in 1990. Hoang Thanh ( According to the New York Times)

Mayflower 400 is a 3-hull ship, weighing 9 tons, 15m long, equipped with a fully automatic navigation system, AI technology and mounted many solar panels. During this journey, the smart ship, covered with solar panels, will study marine pollution and analyze the plastic in the water, as well as monitor aquatic mammals. With 80% of the world under the ocean undiscovered, the Mayflower 400 will have a lot to do. This self-propelled vessel will collect information and data, especially useful for commercial ocean shipping. Brett Phaneuf, the creator of the Mayflower 400 project, believes that the ocean is the place with the strongest impact on the global climate, so investing in this environmental research will be of great help in the fight against climate change. Rosie Lickorish, a new technology expert at IBM, partner in the Mayflower 400 project, affirms that the unmanned ship will bring a great advantage for exploring unprecedented environments, especially distant seas. Many technology and service providers, hundreds of individuals from many countries such as India, Switzerland and the US have participated in this project. Initially, the project was estimated to cost about $ 1 million, but the cost increased by about 10 times. The non-profit venture will provide the data collected by the project at a completely free price. The information could be used specifically for the future of the commercial shipping industry. It is expected that the ship will depart on May 15 after being licensed by British officials, the destination is Plymouth, Massachusetts (USA). This is the journey that the first Mayflower in 1620 carried a group of pilgrims to find a new land – America. Mayflower 400 will make this itinerary in 3 weeks. While the Mayflower 400’s trip was delayed due to the pandemic, Phaneuf said at least no one would get sick during the trip. “No one will feel bored or tired or sick during this uninhabited journey. So the ship can do science for as long as you like, ”he said from British port. Meirwen Jenking-Rees, a 21-year-old engineering student, tested the ship’s engine before it went to sea trials. Manufacturing is automated from the robotic rudder to the solar-powered diesel generator in a year. Building an “intelligent captain”, artificial intelligence on board, takes even longer because computers have to learn to identify maritime obstacles by analyzing thousands of images. The Mayflower 400 must also be taught how to avoid a collision and set sail for the first time. Robot and software engineer Ollie Thompson says that, by running a number of “scripts”, the ship can learn “what is good action, what is bad, what is safe and what is not”. . So if it makes a mistake, the boat can repair itself and learn from experience. The automatic ship uses “eyes” and “ears” – a complex system of six cameras and radar – to continue self-study. Due to the lack of regulations surrounding the deployment of unmanned boats, the Mayflower 400 has yet to be tested in rough seas or storms, a situation Jenking-Rees describes as a “worst case scenario”. In the simulated settings, however, the smart boat was faced with waves as high as 50 meters. The boat’s artificial intelligence will play an important role in conducting scientific experiments, Lickorish explained. The group will monitor the ship 24/24 from the UK, ready to intervene remotely in case of danger.

4 astronauts returning aboard Space X’s Crew Dragon spacecraft from the International Space Station crashed safely in the Gulf of Mexico, near Panama City at 2:56 a.m. on May 2 (US time). ABCNews reported that the ship left the space station at 20:35 on May 1 after bad weather at the place fell, causing the crew to delay their return twice. But upon landing on target, the spacecraft marked the first night-time fall of an American crew flight in 53 years. The last time was the Moon mission aboard NASA’s Apollo 8 on December 27, 1968. “Dragon, on behalf of NASA and SpaceX, we welcome you back to Earth. For those of you who study in our regular pilot program, you’ve earned 68 million miles (about 109 million kilometers).” on this trip, “a SpaceX crew operations and resource engineer told the Crew-1 astronauts after the spacecraft crashed. “It’s good to be back on Earth,” replied NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins, Crew-1 mission commander. Crew Dragon ship was launched from November 2020. Photo: NASA. Crew-1 marks SpaceX’s second crew flight to the space station and the first to last in six months. The ship was launched into orbit on November 15, 2020. Before that, in May 2020, a test flight of Crew Dragon was also made and lasted for 2 months, bringing 2 astronauts to the international space station. Although SpaceX’s third crew mission has already kicked off, today’s return marks the second crew’s success for the show. That third flight, known as Crew-2, won’t land until later this year. According to information from ABCNews, the Crew Dragon spacecraft has been nicknamed Resilience by astronauts. In addition to captain Mike Hopkins, the ship also carries other NASA astronauts Victor Glover and Shannon Walker and astronaut Soichi Noguchi of the Japan Aviation Exploration Agency (JAXA). Steve Stitch, NASA’s Commercial Crew Program Manager said in live commentary: “Certified vehicles land during the day or at night, so there is no problem with the vehicle itself. And we practiced with recovery groups to land during the day or at night. Steve Stitch added that the process went smoother compared to the recovery of the Demo-2 crew back in August 2020, when NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken met a small private fleet. . This time, SpaceX and the Coast Guard have tweaked safety procedures to ensure no civilians get too close to the compartment, in case it leaks fuel. “All four crew members are doing very well. You rarely wake up on the space station and go to bed in Houston … Orbital mechanics and weather don’t always work well, but today.” now they have done so, “NASA Flight Manager Holly Ridings said at a press conference after the Crew Dragon landed safely. NASA’s director of human exploration, Kathy Lueder, recounted the radio station’s moment of silence as the Crew Dragon plunged through Earth’s atmosphere: “Astronauts are only anxious when experiencing a blackout – And it’s nice to hear Mike’s voice “… Four astronauts escaped from the hold with the help of medical staff, before returning to shore to catch a NASA plane back to the agency’s headquarters in Houston, Texas. 4 astronauts (from left to right): Shannon Walker, Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins and Soichi Noguchib inside the Crew Dragon. Photo: NASA According to CNN’s information, since leaving Florida in November last year, four astronauts Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker and Soichi Noguchi have had 167 days on the International Space Station – laboratory. The scientific experiment orbits the Earth 250 miles above Earth, which has been home to international crews of astronauts for more than two decades. The return of the four astronauts was originally scheduled for April 28, but was delayed due to strong winds in the area. Crew Dragon, also known as Resilience, is SpaceX’s second spaceship. The ship’s resilience broke the record for the longest serving US spacecraft ever docked on the International Space Station and surpassed the 84-day record of the Skylab 4 crew in 1974. Crew Dragon’s first landing took place in August 2020 on a Demo-2 mission, bringing NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley back from space after a two-month test mission. Before the landing, the second crew of NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, astronaut JAXA Akihiko Hoshide and astronaut Thomas Pesquet of the European Space Agency were also launched to the Space Station. international post. That means crew 1 has a period of 1 week overlapping in orbit with crew 2. The second quartet of Shane Kimbrough, Megan McArthur, Akihiko Hoshide and Thomas Pesquet will remain in orbit until fall, when the 3rd crew enters space to take their place. Support crews were immediately present around the Crew Dragon vessel area that landed in the Gulf of Mexico early May 2 morning. Photo: NASA The first commercial spaceship SpaceX is one of two commercial companies contracted with NASA to fly astronauts in space. Space X’s Crew Dragon spacecraft can carry up to 7 astronauts and Cargo Dragon; was designed to be launched from the top of the Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket and returned to Earth via a crash into the sea. Unlike its predecessors, this spacecraft can be attached to the International Space Station instead of being anchored. Crew Dragon is equipped with an integrated launch escape system (LES) capable of accelerating a spacecraft from an emergency launch missile with an acceleration of 11.8 m / s2 (39 ft / s2), made using a set of four side-mounted thrusters with two SuperDraco engines on each side. The spacecraft has redesigned solar panels and revised outer mold lines compared to the original Dragon, and also has new aircraft computers and avionics systems. As of March 2020, four Crew Dragon spacecraft have been produced. Crew Dragon serves as one of two spacecraft slated to transport crews to and from the International Space Station under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, the other being the Boeing CST-100 Starliner. . It is also expected to be used in US space travel company Space Adventures flights and transporting tourists to and from Axiom Space’s planned space station. Crew Dragon’s first drone test flight took place in March 2019, and the first crewed flight with astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley took place in May 2020. The two astronauts Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins in the Crew Dragon. Photo: NASA This test flight marks the first time that a private company has launched a crewed orbital spacecraft. Cargo Dragon is expected to deliver cargo to the International Space Station under a Commercial Supply-2 Service contract with NASA, along with Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems’ Cygnus spacecraft and Sierra Nevada Corporation’s Dream Chaser spacecraft. . Cargo Dragon’s first flight is launched in December 2020. On November 10, 2020, the Crew Dragon, comprising the Falcon 9 missile and related ground systems, was fully certified by NASA as the first commercial spacecraft system in history to be capable of maneuvering. transfer people to and from the International Space Station. Initially, the company intended to let Crew Dragon land on land using the LES engine, with parachutes and ocean falls as options available in case of the incident, a Space X representative told reporters. Launch is canceled. Precise landing on water with a parachute has been proposed to NASA as Crew Dragon’s “method of returning to the atmosphere and fundamentally restoring the first few flights”. The forced landing was subsequently canceled, making parachuting the only option. By 2011, Paragon Space Development Corporation had been supporting the development of the Crew Dragon life support system. In 2012, SpaceX was in talks with Orbital Outfitters about developing space suits to wear during launch and return to the atmosphere. Each crew member wears their own custom fitted space suit. The suit is primarily designed for use inside the Dragon, and in the case of the fast depressurization cabin, this suit may protect crew members. The suit can also cool astronauts during normal flight. At a NASA press conference on May 18, 2012, SpaceX confirmed their target launch price for the Crew flights to be $ 160 million, equivalent to about $ 23 million per seat capacity. Crew up to 7 people on board and NASA orders at least 4 Dragon Crew flights per year. This contrasts with the 2014 Soyuz launch price of $ 76 million per seat for NASA astronauts. The design of the Crew Dragon spacecraft was officially announced on May 29, 2014, during a press event at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California. In October 2014, NASA selected the Crew Dragon spacecraft as one of the candidates to bring American astronauts to the International Space Station, according to NASA’s Commercial Crew program.

Astronaut in space. Illustration. Many plans have been proposed, such as “launch” ill-fated astronauts into space, burial on Mars, even used as food for the crew. If there is a problem on the flight itinerary We are entering an exciting space era, in which many hope human’s first step on the surface of Mars will not be far away. However, as SpaceX CEO Elon Musk once said, “If you want to go to Mars, prepare for death.” About 21 astronauts have been killed since humans first set foot on a spacecraft and flew into space 60 years ago. According to experts, the death toll will inevitably increase as space agencies prepare for missions to send humans to Mars. To get to the Red planet, astronauts spend at least seven months living inside a cramped spaceship, traveling long distances, deep. If they survive this journey, they will have to endure the harsh environment of the Martian world. When a crew member dies while on a mission, it will take months, even years, for their bodies to be brought back to Earth. This situation raises a question: What happens to the body of a dead person in space? NASA does not have procedures to handle corpses in space because the astronauts selected for the mission are guaranteed physical and mental health. However, researchers around the world have thought of this situation and proposed measures to handle when an astronaut accidentally dies. During the mission on the journey to Mars, can the astronaut’s body be placed in cold storage or freeze-dried until the spacecraft returns to Earth? The process of freezing drying in space is much different from that on Earth. On Earth, people would use liquid nitrogen to freeze bodies, but in space, a robotic arm would hang the body wrapped in a bag on the outside of a spacecraft. The body will freeze for an hour, become brittle, then the arm will shake, breaking into small pieces. This process will theoretically turn an astronaut weighing 90kg into a mass of only 22kg, which can be stored on a spaceship for many years. But if this freeze-drying isn’t an option, the crew can send off their deceased companion to stay forever in the vast universe. Catherine Conley of NASA’s Office for the Protection of the Planet told Popular Science: “At the moment, there are no specific guidelines in the plan to protect the planet, either at the NASA level or internationally, regarding” bury “a deceased astronaut by throwing the body into space”. The solution of releasing the dead into space seems to be the easiest option, the body will stay on the spacecraft’s journey and linger on the place where it was released. And if more missions choose this approach, future spacecraft heading towards Mars will likely collide with many corpses. The robotic arm holds the dead body in space waiting to freeze. Illustration. Bad situation going to Mars If you are lucky enough to survive on a journey that lasts approximately 7 months and reach Mars, astronauts will face new challenges that threaten their survival, radiation. Previous data showed that Mars is 700 times more contaminated with radiation than Earth. Radiation can alter the cardiovascular system, damage the heart, harden and narrow the arteries, or remove some of the cells in the lining of blood vessels, leading to cardiovascular disease and may end with the death of the astronaut. In this case, burial on Mars would be necessary, but NASA has strict laws about contaminating other planets from microorganisms on Earth. NASA scientist Conley told Popular Science: “Regarding the disposal of organic matter (including corpses) on Mars, we are not imposing any restrictions as long as all are eliminated. microorganisms on Earth. So it is necessary to cremate ”. However, not every dead astronaut can be buried, but in some emergency situation, such as when the remaining crew runs out of food and in order to survive, the corpse of the human. The team can help them sustain life on their way back to Earth. It sounds barbaric, but there has been such a case in the past, when a plane crashed into the Andes in 1972. The survivors had no food and no way to communicate with them. outside, so in order to sustain life, to find someone to come and save, they made the difficult decision to eat the dead as soon as the plane crashed. Biologist Paul Wolpe said: “Although we give our bodies a lot of respect, life is everything. If the only way a human could survive was to eat a body, then that would be acceptable, even if no one wanted it.

Mars probe ship. Generates oxygen on other planets The Perseverance expedition ship of the US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has just made history. It successfully experimented with converting carbon dioxide gas from the Martian atmosphere into oxygen. This is the first time that oxygen production has been performed on another planet. The Mars experiment using local oxygen resources, called MOXIE, is a device the size of an automobile battery and is placed inside the Perseverance. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is the manufacturing unit. MOXIE is made of a heat-resistant material such as a nickel alloy. It is designed to withstand extreme temperatures of up to 800 degrees Celsius. The device is coated with a thin layer of gold to prevent heat and damage to the Perseverance vessel. On the first test run, MOXIE generated 5.4 grams of oxygen – enough for an astronaut to breathe easily for 10 minutes while still performing normal activities. Engineers will conduct additional tests and find ways to increase oxygen production. By design, MOXIE can generate 10 grams of oxygen per hour. NASA expects the development of experimental instruments not only to help generate oxygen for astronauts in the future, but also to help generate large amounts of oxygen to be used as a rocket launcher for the return journey without. must be transported from Earth. The Perseverance expedition landed on Mars on February 18 to perform a mission to search for signs of microbial life on the “Red Planet”. In the coming years, the Perseverance ship aims to collect 30 soil and rock samples to send back to Earth (estimated around 2030) for analysis. Dang Vu Tuan Son, Club of Astronomy and Astronomy of Vietnam, said that oxygen-rich atmosphere should not be seen as steel evidence for life on other planets. Nowadays, to look for signs of life, scientists often use biological structures as guides. Its biological form and life-forming compounds serve as indirect evidence for its presence. On Earth, the oxygen in our atmosphere is one of the most obvious biological characteristics that an alien astronomer can notice. It is only in our atmosphere in such large quantities because plants and bacteria photosynthesize it has been creating it for billions of years. Oxygen is not synonymous with life A new study published April 13 in the journal AGU Advances suggests that terrestrial planets around stars like the Sun can develop oxygen atmospheres without help. from life. This means that detecting oxygen on a planet does not mean that the planet is capable of life. This study uses a computer model that allows scientists to experiment and observe the evolution of a planet. In the first model test, the researchers attempted to accurately reconstruct our Earth. Then they changed the initial conditions to different from what was made up of Earth, and the results they got showed that there are many cases where the planets still contain oxygen but do not require any changes. living. In fact, they have found three main ways for a rocky planet to have an oxygen-rich atmosphere without the presence of life. The first scenario is an Earth-like liquid water planet with oceans 50 times (or more) larger than on Earth. All of that water puts great pressure on the planet’s crust, shutting down the geological activity. This prevents things like the weather and the melting of rocks being two factors that cause oxygen to disappear from the atmosphere. The second scenario is the opposite: A dry desert world with 30% less water than Earth and they will solidify with a “steam atmosphere” for about a million years. This provides a large amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, as sunlight breaks down the molecules of water and hydrogen released into space. And because the planet’s solid desert surface cannot remove any oxygen, it stays in the atmosphere. The last way for a lifeless planet to have an oxygen-rich atmosphere is if the original planet had a higher ratio of carbon dioxide to water than the early Earth. In this case, the planet undergoes a greenhouse similar to what happened on Venus and becomes too hot for oceans to form in the first place. It is also too hot for volatiles to exist in the planet’s mantle, where they will isolate oxygen through chemical reactions. Instead, these volatiles are in the atmosphere, where they can no longer remove oxygen. The planets could have better life than the Earth Researchers have identified more than 20 planets outside the Solar System that have better conditions for life than Earth. Some of these planets have orbits stars that are probably even better than the Sun. A study led by Dirk Schulze-Makuch at Washington State University published in the journal Astrobiology details the features of planets with superlative potential, including is composed of planets that are older, slightly larger and warmer, and possibly more water than Earth. Life can also easily develop on planets moving around slower-changing stars that have longer lifespans than the Sun. The top 24 candidates for habitable planets are all located more than 100 light-years away from us, but Schulze-Makuch says this rescue could help future observations to focus properly, such as the James Webb space telescope, NASA’s LUVOIR space observatory and ESA’s PLATO space telescope. Researchers have selected planetary systems that are likely to have terrestrial planets moving around the parent star in the region of the habitable zone (an area that allows water to exist as a liquid on the planet’s surface) from Kepler’s archival data on transiting exoplanets. Our sun has a relatively short lifespan, less than 10 billion years, because it takes nearly 4 billion years for complex life to form on Earth, so many stars are similar to the Sun (types of G stars). ) may run out of fuel before life can develop. Along with monitoring the types of G stars, the researchers are also observing K-stellar systems, which are colder, smaller, and fainter than the Sun. Type K stars have lifespans that can last from 20 to 70 billion years. That allows the planets moving around it to grow older and allow life to have more time to have life as complex as Earth does today. However, for the planets to stay alive, the planets could not be too much as they could end geothermal activity and no longer have a protective magnetic field. Earth is about 4.5 billion years old today, but researchers think that the most ideal time for life on a planet is between the ages of 5 billion and 8 billion.

AquaGoat’s transaction value and volume suddenly increased sharply after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted a picture of two goats raised on his own farm with the content “My goats: Max and Bitcoin”. Internet users claim that Max and Bitcoin are Zuckerberg’s two goats, implying that the Facebook co-founder is also interested in Bitcoin and the crypto market. AquaGoat’s value soared after Mark Zuckerberg’s two goats. Photo: CoinMarketCap. AquaGoat was launched by an Australian programmer on April 7 and appeared on CoinMarketCap from April 21. This is a decentralized token on the Binance exchange that emphasizes transparency and community contribution. According to AquaGoat’s website, transactions will be partly deducted and donated to organizations that conserve marine life and clean the ocean. AquaGoat’s Twitter page also repeatedly mentioned Mark Zuckerberg, referring to the image of his two goats contributing to the price increase of more than 500%. This is not the first time cryptocurrencies “animals” have increased in value thanks to technology billionaires. Recently, the crypto value Dogecoin with the image of Shiba dog has continuously fluctuated after the posts of billionaire Elon Musk. On April 17, a post with the content “Doge barking at the moon” of the billionaire made the Dogecoin price more than doubled. Earlier in February, the coin also appreciated more than 50% after Musk’s survey of the future currency in the world. Zuckerberg’s post shared the names of two goats, Max and Bitcoin. Screenshots. On May 8, Musk uploaded a photo of Musk’s personal announcement to join the program on Twitter Saturday Night Live , insert the Shiba dog image, the Dogecoin symbol in the frame. Soon after, the Dogecoin price surged and reached a historic high of $ 0.72. However, before the time Elon Musk aired the program, the price of Dogecoin fell sharply. On May 10, Musk’s aerospace company SpaceX announced a mission called “DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon”. This is a delivery program to the Moon in which SpaceX accepts payments in Dogecoin. While attracting attention, crypto experts recommend that Dogecoin, or “animal” currencies, have many drawbacks compared to other decentralized assets like Bitcoin. Therefore, investors should be cautious before deciding to enter the market. The high cost of Bitcoin mining Since the advent of cryptocurrencies, the amount of electricity needed for mining has increased significantly. This leads experts to believe that mining cryptocurrency is not environmentally friendly.

Open a new door Ingenuity attached to the belly of the Perseverance probe landed together inside Mars’ 45 km wide Jezero crater on February 18. On April 3, a solar-powered helicopter was dropped from Perseverance’s belly. NASA is expected to make history on the Red Planet with its first self-powered flight powered by energy. “That is extremely important. Technological inventions will open a door to completely different tools. And for me, that’s very interesting. We still haven’t envisioned all the benefits of this new technology, ”said Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s Deputy Administrator. Ingenuity is considered a “technology show”. Because, the expected flight of this helicopter on Mars is designed simply to demonstrate the efficiency of the technology. Although there is an onboard camera to take pictures during the mission, it’s the only feature on the plane that is not directly related to Ingenuity’s take-off. “The speed of light is too slow for us to actually control it in real time,” said Mr. Zurbuchen. In addition, the team must find a way for the helicopter to fly over Mars in a challenging environment, with a very thin atmosphere. Obviously, flying on another planet is not easy for helicopters. This is an exciting moment in the history of spacecraft and technology. Many people questioned whether Ingenuity was equipped with any technology application to achieve such a feat. Scientists hope to use Ingenuity to explore in the future, according to Zurbuchen. Because, a small helicopter can “probe many places that we can not go to by plane”. The expert also explains that Mars has some interesting things. The crater walls and other destinations will be interesting to study up close, while astronauts won’t be able to explore. In the future, helicopters could be an important asset for both robot and human exploration on the Red Planet, Mr. Zurbuchen said. However, as mentioned before, Mr. Zurbuchen said, there are many applications to this technology that are yet to be developed. Science breakthrough The deployment of the Ingenuity helicopter flight plan on Mars aims to demonstrate that humans can fly in the extremely low density, reduced gravity and extreme temperatures of the red planet. In addition, the amount of sunlight the planet receives is only half that of Earth; At night temperatures down to -90 degrees C cause electronic components to crack and freeze if left unprotected. While a mission on Mars is not an easy task, NASA is confident that this small helicopter can overcome the challenge. However, the first flight will be at low altitude and take place shortly. Members of the mission group said, Ingenuity (weighing 1.8 kg) is expected to fly no more than 3 meters above the floor of the Jezero crater on Mars. The helicopter will stay high for 40 seconds or so. However, even such a modest flight time would be an achievement. Because, Mars’ atmosphere is only 1% thicker of Earth. Aircraft generate lift by pushing air. However, according to Project Director Ingenuity – MiMi Aung, of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California, on Mars, there are fewer molecules to propel. That disadvantage outweighs the benefit that helicopters get from Mars’ weaker gravity. So Ingenuity has to behave a little differently from its predecessors on Earth. Specifically, Ingenuity propellers are made of carbon fiber, made for Mars. They are particularly large compared to the overall 48 cm high helicopter. Each wing extends 1.2 m. Those propellers will spin at about 2,500 rpm to bring Ingenuity off the ground. This is much faster than that required by a 4lb motor. Besides, Mars is also a place where the cold is “piercing”. Perseverance measured the Red Planet’s nighttime temperature to minus 117.4 degrees F (minus 83 degrees C) on the surface of Jezero. So Ingenuity has a fireplace so it won’t freeze. Currently, it takes more than 15 minutes for an order to be sent from the control agency on Earth to Mars. Real-time operation with the joystick is therefore not an option. Flight orders must be sent in advance. However, that doesn’t mean Ingenuity is going to be in trouble. This helicopter will be able to do many tasks on its own. For example, Ingenuity can analyze photos captured by the downward-facing camera. From there, locate it. The images will be in black and white. Ingenuity is also capable of 13-megapixel color photography. There are a series of complicated devices that are inserted into the “small body” of Ingenuity, although the helicopter does not carry any scientific tools. Cameras, electrical systems, avionics systems, and communications equipment for data transfer to Perseverance were all introduced into Ingenuity. In fact, the size of devices like objects has made it impossible for many helicopter missions on Mars. Ms. Aung and her colleagues tested Ingenity extensively on Earth before launching. Ingenuity used to have to fly in a special chamber at the JPL – which simulates the conditions of the Red Planet. Thanks to that, Ingenuity has been doing well on the Jezero crater since its separation from Perseverance. Therefore, the scientists expressed confidence in Ingenuity’s mission. If successful, Ingenuity will fly again – up to 5 times in about a month. Ingenuity helicopters pave the way for future space exploration.

There is nothing wrong and exaggerated about the threat posed by the Soviet Union, both military and ideological, in the contemporary American perception of Sputnik satellite. Shortly after Sputnik was successfully launched into low-Earth orbit, the US and the West fell into what became known as the “Sputnik Crisis”. The early Soviet spatial achievements were regarded by many around the globe as a testament to the superiority and effectiveness of the Soviet model of government and the social structure of the Soviet State. In the New York Times alone, “Sputnik 1” was mentioned in articles averaging 11 times a day between October 6 and October 31, 1957 – America’s fear of Lien. Bucket in space. With each subsequent victory in technology, the Soviet Union not only demonstrated what could be done through an economic and policy approach, but also demonstrated what American capitalism could not do …, or at least, it can’t be done quickly. The fear of the communists not only winning mentally but also the embracing heart and mind led directly to the establishment of the Aerospace Research Agency (NASA), which invests in the resources for missile and orbit science, strong funding for defense programs, and prestige enhancement to offset the advantages of the Soviet Union are becoming evident in many fields. N1 boosters of the Soviet Union; Source: spacethatneverwas.tumblr.com In November 1957, the Soviet Union became the first country to put a live animal, the Laika, into orbit in Sputnik 2. The following month, the United States made its first attempt to send a Vanguard TV3 satellite (Test Vehicle 3 ) of the Naval Research Laboratory into orbit, but the rocket only flew about 4 feet off the launch pad before collapsing again and exploding. However, the following month, the United States entered space with Explorer 1, and later that year, NASA replaced the National Aviation Advisory Committee (NACA) with a mission to bring the US towards supremacy in space. . In 1959, the technically faulty Soviet Luna 1 rocket flew further than the platforms before it, escaped the orbit of the Moon and eventually entered the orbit of the Sun, but later that year, the spacecraft The Soviet Union Luna 2 pillar reached the lunar surface for the first time. Soon, Luna 3 sent an image of the surface of the Moon from orbit and by 1960, the Soviet Union was the first to send animals (the dogs Belka and Strelka) and plants into space and back. and still live. And just a year later, the Soviet Union brought a real human being, the cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into space. Plan your spaceship “explore” In 1959, for promotion, the Soviet Union decided to choose a number of technologies, vehicles and equipment that represented the great progress of the Soviet Union for a traveling exhibition. The opportunity to take a closer look at the exhibition’s most precious jewel – a Lunic spaceship very similar to the Luna 2, housed in a deck above the modified rocket has arrived. When they got as close as possible, a few plainclothes agents were surprised to find the spacecraft hidden behind glass cuts in real missile housings. The declassified reports said that some people gasped, raised their eyebrows, were shocked to know the incident, and believed in Langley’s ears (nicknamed the US Central Intelligence Agency – CIA). Immediately, plans and plans to “explore” the Lunic more carefully began to be mapped out. But at the display site, soldiers guarded the ship at all times, both during and after hours, when museums and galleries were closed; Access to the Lunic information gathering while it was on display was practically impossible, so the CIA turned their attention to the way the Lunic was transported from one exhibit to another. The Soviet Vostok missile; Source: djournal.com While all exhibit artifacts were transported from one city to another by train (with guards), the CIA identified several gaps in how each one was transported from the site. exhibition to train station. The artifacts are simply placed in compact crates and loaded onto a truck carrying them to the train station for loading and unloading. This transit was not closely monitored by Soviet security, with items arriving at random intervals and little coordination between transport forces; The guardians at the railway warehouses were not even given a list. It was this shortcoming of Soviet security that gave the CIA, above all, the opportunity it needed. Missile robbery from the highway When night came, in order to carry out their plans, plainclothes CIA agents followed the van carrying Lunic out of the exhibition site, not forgetting to keep an eye on Soviet security. Surprisingly, despite tight security throughout the exhibits, the vehicle carrying a container filled with Soviet national secrets made a short trip to the train station completely unaccompanied. When the truck approached, turned toward the train station, the CIA agent simply let the car pass and escorted the driver to a nearby hotel. An agent jumped into the driver’s seat and drove the truck into a nearby, chosen rescue park that has high walls obscured. This was one of the most daring agents of the Cold War, and could certainly spark a clash between the planet’s two nuclear powers … For thirty minutes, CIA agents hovered over in the dark surrounding their newly stolen truck, waiting for some indication that the Soviets noticed Lunic’s absence. When nothing seemed to be suspicious, they climbed into the 20-foot long, 11-foot-wide and 14-foot-deep crate located inside the truck. Their job is to approach the Lunic spaceship, disassemble it and take pictures of what they can, then reassemble it, stuff it back inside the tank and transfer it to the train station before morning, so that the Soviets would not know what happened. Professional work The barrel itself has been reused over and over again, making it fairly easy to open without leaving any signs of being touched. With no way to pull the rocket out of the barrel, however, the spies soon realized they had no choice but to get in and do their job inside the barrel. Agents take off their shoes and split into groups, climbing to the bottom of the box using a rope ladder they carry to access the secrets stored inside. The CIA played an important role in stealing Soviet missile technology; Source: WATM Soon, their plans went wrong – the Lunic spacecraft won’t have difficulty reaching through the missile deck it’s located in, but when attempting to penetrate, CIA agents find a small seal. in plastic with engraved Soviet logo. To reach the spacecraft, it was necessary to break the seal, but doing so would almost certainly reveal their interference to Soviet authorities. Soon, calls to CIA parts in the area, and were told that they could re-seal the seal and arrive in time for reassembling and returning rockets in the morning. Although the engine was removed, the pylons as well as the fuel and oxidant tanks remained, providing the CIA with enough information to extrapolate the engine size and the missile’s payload capacity. Once the seal is removed, the Lunic itself has been pulled out, disassembled, and photographed in great detail. The information gathered was not only valuable from a design point of view, it also provided important context with regard to the Soviet missile program. Thanks to the recorded measurements and weights for the payload, the CIA will be able to better understand the telemetry data it collects around each Soviet launch. It is an important intelligence victory for the United States and will continue to shape the plans and policies pertaining to America’s space efforts for many years to come. But getting information is only part of the job. As the moonlight faded, CIA agents working with hand tools and socks ended up reassembling the Lunic and its missile housings, adding seals, removing wire ladders, and fixing the top. of the barrel. By 5 a.m., the original driver was returned his truck and his “cargo”, and he delivered it to the train station in time to deliver the first guard to come to work at 7:00 a.m. . The information gathered from the campaign gave the US a more complete understanding of what the Soviet Union was capable of, allowing the Americans to plan their appropriate efforts. America is no longer active in the dull anxiety of the “Sputnik crisis” without the actual data it needs to substantially assess the situation. It was in that newly found knowledge that America’s future spatial dominance began to sprout. In order to defeat the enemy, it is imperative to know where they are and what they can do… and the CIA has discovered it in the back of a stolen truck. Less than ten years later, the United States came ahead in the space race when the Apollo 11 landed on the Moon just before a Soviet amphibious ship crashed on the other side. More than twenty years later, the Soviet Union collapsed and the Cold War officially ended./.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched the largest immunization campaign in human history with the aim of distributing vaccine doses to 190 countries and limiting the risk of dangerous mutations. However, this project is currently racing against time. The man trying to save the world now stands in a Connecticut kindergarten, USA. He puts his laptop in front of him and sunlight is shining through the window into a crib. Benjamin Schreiber is barefoot and his hair is messy. The 46-year-old seems to have just woken up, but almost every day, he gets up from sunrise. His job is one of the most important and difficult in the world. As the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Deputy Head of Immunization Team (UNICEF), Schreiber is responsible for ensuring that 2 billion doses of Covid-19 vaccine reach people in the poorest countries, the most distant. In an online meeting with colleagues in Germany, Panama and Haiti, Schreiber discussed his “headache” for the day: The situation is stagnant in two countries. Countries that buy the most Covid-19 vaccine. Photo: Duke Global Health Innovation Center Referring to a country where outsiders are difficult to reach, Schreiber said: “It is not clear how things are going”. In the remaining country – Haiti, the first potential vaccine shipment has been delayed. The vaccination team appears to be ready, but political and social issues are hindering shipping. Fuel in Haiti is expensive, roads are poor, budgets are miscalculated. Many people do not believe in Western aid, others do not understand Covid-19. There are discussions like this every day Schreiber. On a small scale, it often involves questions about the proper way to cool vaccines, about ingenuity in dealing with governments. However, at the core of the matter has always been global justice. The new strain corona virus has spread to every continent and infected at least 128 million people. It has ruined economies and destroyed families. Up to now, a global medical emergency has been in effect for more than a year. Citizens in some developed countries have been protected from the corona virus and many others in Africa, Asia and Latin America are still waiting to be vaccinated. Carrying vaccines to remote areas in Nepal. Photo: SPIEGEL To date, nearly 600 million doses of the vaccine have been used around the world. However, nearly two-thirds of them are used in six countries. About 60% of Israelis, less than half of Britons and one-tenth of Germans have been vaccinated at least once. In Namibia, where a population of more than 2 million people, less than 1,500 people have been vaccinated. In some other countries, no one has been vaccinated yet. Earlier this year, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned of a “moral disaster”. An effort has been made to prevent that disaster. A global mechanism, called COVAX, was born to support the equitable distribution of Covid-19 vaccines to countries. WHO launched the initiative a year ago and a vaccine consortium called GAVI and the Alliance for Pandemic Readiness Innovation (CEPI) also joined. Almost every country in the world participates in COVAX. Many countries and regions have attempted to smooth the infection curve of Covid-19. Photo: John Hopkins University COVAX’s goal is that 92 of the poorest member countries get vaccines as fast as 98 rich countries. The rich countries pay more for the initiative and the poorest countries get discounts or free vaccinations, with each country vaccinating a fifth of its population by the end of the year. It is UNICEF’s responsibility to ensure that vaccines reach their destination. The new strain corona virus is constantly changing. Most changes do not affect the degree of danger posed by the virus, but some mutations, like the strains that occurred in Brazil and the US, do. And the more the number of countries experiencing uncontrolled outbreaks, the more likely the world will have to deal with the next mutation. So how do you vaccinate those most threatened, such as the elderly, the sick, and health care workers around the world? How can COVAX achieve its ambitious goals? Graph of increasing Covid-19 cases among countries. Photo: Bloomberg A group of German magazine Der Spiegel reporters have followed the vaccine around the world. They went to vaccine factories in India, to warehouses in Copenhagen, Denmark. It all goes to the end: The vaccine is delivered to health workers in Malawi, who received their first shot in March. The reporters also witnessed a German at a kindergarten. in the US to plan vaccine distribution. Schreiber has been with UNICEF for 8 years. His biggest challenge last year, he said, was preparing nations for a short period of time. COVAX’s goal is to ship about 2 billion doses of vaccine by the end of this year, corresponding to about 850 tons of vaccine per month and 1 billion syringes. Thousands of cooling boxes have to be transported to the most remote corners of the world by jeeps, boats, drones and even donkeys. Even in normal years, UNICEF vaccinates nearly every child around the world. However, UNICEF has never faced a global pandemic. The Republic of Seychelles is currently leading the world because there are enough vaccines for 63.1% of the population. Photo: Bloomberg. Immunization campaigns are usually planned many years in advance, but this time only a few months. Vaccine recipients are diverse, some have been successful, some have failed, some have only a few hundred thousand people, some have more than a billion. Countries were asked by UNICEF to explain in writing how they intend to manage the logistics of vaccinations. Schreiber read over 100 of these lengthy plans, mostly twice. He corrects and makes suggestions for improvements. Most of the time, things go well, but sometimes it doesn’t. The governments of Tanzania, Eritrea and Madagascar are still debating that Covid-19 is a dangerous disease. However, the effort paid off. On February 24, the first shipment of COVAX landed in Ghana. The first shipment to Haiti is also planned. By the end of March, UNICEF had distributed 20 million doses of the vaccine to 47 countries.

How widespread the epidemic was, devastating economies there. Many people in Africa, Asia and Latin America are waiting to be vaccinated. So far, nearly 600 million doses of the vaccine have been used around the world, but two-thirds of them are in just six countries. About 60% of Israelis have been vaccinated once, 50% of Britons have been vaccinated, and 1 out of 10 Germans get it. In Namibia, where a population of more than 2 million people, less than 1500 people are vaccinated. Aside from Namibia, no African country has received the vaccine. To prevent that, the COVAX project was born. WHO started COVAX a year ago, and the Vaccine Coalition (GAVI) and the Alliance for Epidemic Preparation Innovation (CEPI) are participating in nearly every country in the world. The goal is to have the 92 poorest members receive as many vaccines as the 98 richest members. It is expected that by the end of 2021, each country will receive the vaccine for 1/5 of the population. UNICEF wants vaccines to reach their destination, making them available to people regardless of race or wealth. So how can COVAX achieve its ambitious goals? Project 2 billion doses of vaccine to reach poor countries Mr. Benjamin Schreiber, COVAX Coordinator in Connecticut (USA) affirmed that the biggest challenge for countries is “preparing to vaccinate in a short time”. COVAX’s stated goal is to ship 2 billion doses of vaccine by the end of 2021, equivalent to 850 tons of vaccine / month and 1 billion syringes. Thousands of vaccine containers will reach the remotest corners of the earth by means of vehicles: Jeeps, boats, drones, and rickshaws. Countries receiving vaccine aid are diverse, some with developing economies, some with underdevelopment. Mr. Benjamin Schreiber, COVAX Coordinator in Connecticut (USA). Photo source: Katharina Poblotzki / Der Spiegel. Countries were required to send documents to UNICEF on how they plan to manage vaccine aid logistics: Which part of the population needs the vaccine most; Vaccine distribution plans from the airport to the rest of the country. On February 24, 2021, the first COVAX shipment landed in Ghana. By the end of March 2021, UNICEF had shipped 20 million doses of the vaccine to 47 countries. The strength of manufacturers The Indian Serum Institute (SII) is headquartered in Pune (West India), the world’s largest vaccine factory with 2.4 million doses of vaccine per day. SII is the creation of the vaccine that is being used to reach many parts of the world and its cost cannot be replicated right now. Of the more than 39 million doses of vaccine shipped by COVAX to date, 28 million have come from the Pune laboratories. India is a major supplier of COVAX. Currently, the country mainly produces vaccine AstraZeneca. But at the end of March 2021, the Indian government decided to stop the export of vaccines to a minimum when the number of new corona virus infections increased rapidly in this country. The New Delhi government’s decision to stockpile vaccines means COVAX will delay delivery of 90 million doses of vaccine to 63 receiving countries. There is currently no alternative manufacturing solution outside of India. The plane was carrying carton boxes containing COVID-19 vaccine at Mumbai airport in Maharashtra state (India) on 24 February 2021. Photo source: UNICEF / UN 0421823 / COVAX. Mr. Mounir Bouazar (head of the logistics division of COVAX in Copenhagen) has been preparing for 3-4 months for the first shipments of vaccines. By the end of 2020, Bouazar is certain that half a billion syringes will be distributed to four UNICEF warehouses in Copenhagen, Dubai, Panama and Shanghai. Now COVAX will deliver thousands of vaccines to their destination every day. But a pandemic makes it more difficult, with few or no flights due to limited travel. No flights to East Timor or the Pacific island nation have been requested by UNICEF. Vaccines and syringes moved to Yemen had to go to Nairobi, where Bouazar rented a small plane to carry vaccines and syringes. Bouazar hopes to ship more vaccines by mid-2021. There is an idea to make Bouazar’s work smoother right now: Suspend intellectual property rights to vaccines in a limited way during a pandemic. India and South Africa have filed requests to the World Trade Organization (WTO) to suspend the COVID-19 vaccine and drug patents, which are supported by 100 countries. Then other companies can also make vaccines. COVAX coordinator Benjamin Schreiber is deploying COVID-19 vaccine to the poorest and most isolated countries in the world. Connecting with him are 2 colleagues of UNICEF branches in Panama and Haiti – 2 countries with immunization delays. In Haiti, the vaccination team is ready, but problems are hampering vaccine shipments. Fuel in Haiti is quite expensive, roads are poor … Schreiber persistently connects with people in Haiti every day. Nguyen Thanh Hai ( (According to spiegel, April 24, 2021) )

Artwork: Teslarati.com According to NASA’s announcement, the contract to bring astronauts to the Moon as early as 2024 was signed with a value of nearly $ 3 billion. The contract will use the prototype spacecraft Starship, designed for a large crew with the necessary equipment for space exploration missions. Starship ships can land vertically on the surface of the Earth as well as other planets in the universe. So far, test flights have not been successful, but the group is working to build new test vehicles. NASA expert Lisa Watdon-Morgan said: “We have selected a partner and are preparing to implement the next phase. “We have to make sure to run the tests because we won’t send people to the Moon until the trials are successful.” Unlike the Apollo lunar landings between 1969 and 1972, NASA is currently preparing for a permanent presence on the Moon, a stepping stone to an even more ambitious plan, that is. is to send astronauts to Mars. This decision by NASA makes the race to conquer the Moon and other planets in the universe between the US and other powers becomes hotter. In the latest move, China’s aerospace science community on April 24 affirmed that this country is a cosmic power, capable of exploring space, exploring deeper areas in the universe by unmanned vehicles. . Scientists in this country also did not hide their ambition to bring people to the Moon soon. Chinese Academy of Sciences scholar Ye Peijian, Ye Peijian, said: “We are planning to conduct asteroid probes. We will accomplish this mission in 10 years. We also hope that China will soon be able to send people to the Moon in the near future. In early December 2020, China announced that the Hang Nga 5 probe had landed successfully and placed a flag on the surface of the Moon. This is the third successful Chinese landing in the past 7 years. Once a weak country in the space race, China has continuously developed aerospace programs in recent years with the ambition to conquer new territories. In early March 2021, the Russian Space Agency Roscosmos said that the country and China signed a memorandum of understanding to build a lunar space station together. The space station will be designed as a complex of experimental research facilities that operate on the surface or orbit of the Moon. Russian officials also announced that they will try new boosters to continue their lunar exploration program this year. Besides the US, Russia, China, some other countries such as Japan, European Union, India, Korea, Israel, South Africa … also announced ambitious Moon exploration programs in the coming time. Besides the Moon, conquering Mars is also becoming a target of fierce competition among countries. Just in February, the American Perseverance self-propelled vehicle, China’s Tianan-1 spacecraft, Hope of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) visited Mars one after another. According to space experts, the polls have different objectives but all show the interest of space powers to the Red planet. Not only is it intended for military and civilian purposes, the future space race is also related to economic benefits estimated to be worth trillions of dollars./.

With headquarters in London, UK, the OneWeb company intends to deploy a total of more than 650 satellites in the lower orbit of the Earth, in order to provide users on the ground with high-speed Internet 24 hours a day. day through contact satellites. The company is also competing with billionaires Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos in the race to cover high-speed internet via satellite to anywhere in the world, especially in remote areas. This is the third time the Russian side has launched the OneWeb satellite beam into Earth orbit after the previous two missions took place in December 2020 and March respectively at Vostochny space airport with 36 satellites per launch. The first six satellites of OneWeb were launched from the Guiana launch site in France in February 2019, and last year, the company launched 68 more satellites from Baikonur launch site, Kazakhstan.

Building a synchronous and modern infrastructure system is one of three strategic breakthroughs set out in the document of the XIII Congress of the Party. Photo: Quang Thai Restructuring and adding new content From the experience in organizing the implementation of Resolution of the XII Congress, the Party is more deeply aware of the importance and practical meaning of grasping and implementing key tasks. Therefore, the political report of the XIII Congress of the Party separates the content “The key tasks, strategic breakthroughs in the XIII Congress term” into a separate section – section XV. Compared with the Political Report of Congress XI, XII, the key tasks presented in the Political Report of the XIII Congress were restructured and added new content. These are 6 key tasks: (1) Building and reorganizing the Party, building the political system, building a contingent of cadres; (2) Strongly promote economic development; (3) Strengthening foreign affairs, international integration, national defense and security …; (4) Promote the cultural values ​​and human strength of Vietnam; strengthening social development management, realizing social progress and equity; (5) Promote socialist democracy, strong national unity; (6) Natural resource management, environmental protection, climate change adaptation. New points in the arrangement and presentation of the above tasks are integrating the focus on Party building, the political system, economic development, strengthening national defense, security, foreign affairs, and development of culture, society and people; separation to emphasize the focus on promoting socialist democracy and the strength of great national unity; supplement the focus on natural resources and environment protection and climate change adaptation. For the first key task “Building and regulating the Party, building a political system, building a contingent of cadres”, the XIII Congress political report added some urgent contents such as: Doi Moi the Party’s leadership and ruling modes; step up the fight to prevent and combat negativity, “group interests”, consolidate the people’s confidence and attachment to the Party, the State and the socialist regime. In the second mission of strongly promoting economic development, the XIII Congress Political Report added, emphasizing the new contents in accordance with the requirements arising in the new context. Notably, it focused on controlling the Covid-19 pandemic, mass vaccination of Covid-19 vaccine for the community; complete synchronous development institutions in accordance with the complete, modern and integrated market economy; overcoming bottlenecks hindering the development of the country … Of the remaining core missions, the sixth is a new one. On the basis of the deep awareness of the increasingly serious challenges of natural resources, environment and climate change to national development, the XIII Congress’s political report has identified: “Strict management, use rational and efficient use of land and natural resources; environmental protection and improvement; proactively and actively deploy adaptation solutions to climate change ”. Supplement and develop strategic breakthroughs In addition, the XIII Congress document specially focuses on identifying strategic breakthroughs in accordance with the requirements and requirements of the next 5 or 10 years. Political report identifies 3 strategic breakthroughs in the XIII Congress term; The 10-year socio-economic development strategy for 2021-2030 also outlines 3 strategic breakthroughs in 10 years. There are differences between the Political Report and the 10-year socio-economic development strategy 2021-2030, although there are differences in determining the specific content of each strategic breakthrough due to the different time coverage (5 years and 10 years), but unanimously stated: 3 strategic breakthroughs identified by the XI and XII Congress of the Party (institutions for market economic development; high-quality human resources; infrastructure system modern, synchronous) is meaningful, long-term value, still intact and will be concretized in accordance with the conditions and requirements of each stage of development. Three strategic breakthroughs identified in the XIII Congress document have remarkable additions and developments. In particular, for a strategic breakthrough on synchronous improvement of development institutions, the Expanded Political Report requires synchronous improvement of development institutions, in which the market economy institution has a socialist orientation. is the focus.

Recently, the international media has reported very boldly that France has chosen the “standard material” to rebuild the completely damaged dome, arrow tower and bell tower of Notre Dame . This can be considered as one of the most happy signals because the fire disaster of Notre Dame took place on April 15, 2019 has caused not only the French people but the whole world in shock and pain. Accordingly, about 1,000 old oak trees in more than 200 public and private forests were cut down at the end of March. “Oak trees will be selected from all parts of France,” said Jean-Louis Georgelin, former Chief of Staff of the French Army assigned to the special agency to oversee the repair of Notre Dame . This is a country-wide project. The restoration will ensure the building can stand for at least 8 to 10 centuries ”. To take such practical steps, the French government had to go through many challenges from recruiting experts, finding restoration materials and listening to people’s reactions. In July 2020, in the context of fierce public opposition, French President Emmanuel Macron had to reject the idea that the bell tower designed by Eugène Viollet le Duc could be rebuilt in concrete to limit dust. radioactivity, if unfortunately there is a fire. After that, Mr. Macron announced, Notre Dame will be rebuilt like before. And this kicked off the hunt for woods across France, culminating in a thorough selection in January and February. According to experts, the reconstruction of Notre Dame in wood is a difficult prospect because inside this ancient building is a “network of complex wooden beams”. Specifically, 52 acres of forest wood were cut in the twelfth century to erect the church’s roof and each beam was made from a tree trunk. However, Mr. Jean-Louis Georgelin asserted: “This is historical responsibility. If everyone gets to work together and everything is well planned, bringing the church back in within the next five years will not be an impossible feat. ” Expected, Notre Dame will begin to be restored in the fall of 2022. Source: Reuters. In order to race against time and limit errors, the Notre Dame restoration specialists had to work very seriously and meticulously. This is reflected in the first stage including the selection and processing of wood. The oaks with this historic mission must meet the standards of quality and outstanding metrics, such as the trunk must be more than 1 meter in diameter and have a minimum length of 18 meters. In addition, they must be “harvested” by the end of March to avoid more sap production and wet weather that can degrade the quality of the wood. In particular, the “soul” of Notre Dame including the bell tower and the 93-meter-high arrow-top will be reconstructed with eight oak trees cut from the royal forest of Bercé, which once belonged to the French kings. When examining a series of oak trees over 200 years old in the Bercé forest, Aymeric Albert, Commercial Director of the French Forestry Commission, commented: “The trunks here are in excellent condition, without any any defect. They are large enough to be 18m long beams, the length needed if you want to bear the weight of the sharp tower. It is known that the oak trunks in the Bercé forest cost about 15,000 euros / stem, and will be dried for 12 to 18 months before proceeding with further treatment. In addition, after the planned timber is cut, the forest rangers will plant seedlings to replant the new trees. It is expected that the restoration of Notre Dame will start in the autumn of 2022 and be completed in April 2024. The mission of solidarity The Church has always been at the center of social change, Insider said. This may not be “always true” but is extremely accurate in the case of France. Immediately after President Emmanuel Macron announced a fundraising campaign to rebuild Notre Dame, many individuals and organizations in France and around the world voiced their support both financially as well as participating in the restoration of architecture. . Just two days after the fire, the fund’s donation exceeded a billion dollars. This is also the estimated cost to restore Notre Dame in the most aesthetic and quality way. This fact shows that, at that time, France, a people more divided than ever since World War II due to the many months of “Golden Vest” protests, became should unite in a common mission. Michel Druilhe, President of the French forest network France Bois Forêt said: “As the largest cathedral in the heart of France with a long history in the world, we are very pleased with the staff in the forestry sector. Industry, from the woodcutter to the sawmakers, was mobilized to join hands in rebuilding Notre Dame. This is a very meaningful job ”. President Macron also declared: “It is up to us to turn this terrible disaster into unanimous opportunity … This is not the time for politics”. Back at the time of the fire at Notre Dame, according to a statement from the French Government, the fire happened at around 6:50 a.m. on April 15, 2019 local time (23h50 ‘on April 15, 2019, Hanoi time. ) at the top of the tower, then spread to the entire roof of the church. Disaster caused the bell tower to collapse, and devastate the roof of this famous Gothic-style building. However, things could have gotten worse and Notre Dame could have been completely burned down if the Paris firefighters arrived 15-30 minutes later. Precious items include the Crown of Thorns – believed to have been worn on Jesus’ head during the events that led to his crucifixion; The Le Grand Orgue – a musical instrument dating back to the 1730s and the XIII century robe of Saint Louis were both saved from the fire. Obviously, if the fire and bravery of the firefighters were able to prevent a more horrifying disaster for this project, at present, the consensus and efforts of the government, the people as well as French architects and experts bring hope for a Notre Dame of cohesion and peace. Affordable, in the future, the pricelessness of Notre Dame will be “redefined” by the solidarity of everyone !? Notre Dame Cathedral Paris Notre Dame is located on the island of Cite in the middle of the Seine in the center of Paris. This special geographical location has made Notre Dam become a historical symbol, associated with the formation and development of Paris. In 1163, the first stone was placed in the presence of Pope Alexander III and King Louis VI. The construction of Notre Dame Cathedral in Gothic style lasted until 1345 with the participation of many famous architects at that time such as Jean de Chelles, Pierre de Montreuil, Pierre de Chelles, Jean Ravy and Jean. le Bouteiller. Notre Dame witnessed the coronation of King Henry VI in 1431, the coronation of Emperor Napoleon in 1804, and the canonization of the French heroine Joan of Arc in 1909, presided over by Pope Pius X. Funerals of the two late French Presidents Charles de Gaulle and Francois Mitterand also took place at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. It is known that Notre Dame was the place with the highest chop in Paris until the completion of the Eiffel Tower in 1889. According to the BBC, there are no other landmarks that represent France in a separate and unique way like Notre Dame. Maybe you don’t know? The flag of the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam once flew at the top of the bell tower of the Notre Dame Cathedral. It happened on the night of January 19, 1969, the day before Richard Nixon was sworn in as the 37th President of the United States and six days before the opening of the Paris four-way conference, negotiating peace in Vietnam. It is known that French police had to mobilize helicopters to remove the flag. There hasn’t been any official source yet to confirm who hung the flag. However, this can be considered as one of the special images throughout the 9-century history of this architecture.

The first mission, the Luna 25, is scheduled to depart in October this year with the first trip to the South Pole (on the Moon), where Russian scientists will study water vein under the thick ice. “In the next decade, the Moon will be the focus of our program,” said Lev Zelenyi, scientific advisor at the Russian Federal Institute of Space Research, during an online presentation by the Academy of Sciences. Country held on March 23. Luna 25 ship during assembly and testing before launching to the Moon. Photo: Roscosmos. Many companies in Russia have begun to sketch lunar exploration programs. Meanwhile, the US is aiming to probe humans with the Artemis program, combined with robots to carry out missions on the Moon. In December, China transported the first new lunar soil sample to Earth in a series of ongoing missions called Chang’an. India and Israel promise to launch the next ship to the moon after two successful landings in 2019 (the Chandrayaan-2 and Beresheet). However, only the United States can match Russia’s space heritage on the Moon. The Putin administration is getting back to the space race by continuing a series of missions called Luna, following the tail numbers from the Luna 24 they stopped in 1976. “We want to show our steadfastness,” said Mr. Zelenyi. According to the Space , the Luna 25 is designed to study the permafrost beneath the lunar surface. Explorers hope to exploit them as a resource and gauge the danger posed by sharp pieces of moon dust. Upon landing, the ship will use cameras made by Europe to enhance the European Space Agency’s future lunar missions. Mr. Zelenyi emphasized, Luna 25 is just the beginning, the landfall on the Moon consists of a total of 5 missions with many stages being planned. The first Lunokhod-1 rover to operate on another planet. Photo: Wikipedia. In 2023 or 2024, Russia plans to launch the Luna 26 rocket, this time an orbital ship that searches for magnetic and gravitational anomalies on the Moon and captures highly accurate images of the locations. potential landing. Next, in 2025, along with the ship Luna 27, Russia will continue to return to the Moon. According to Mr. Zelenyi, this is the most important time. As the lander this year, Luna 27 will target the Antarctic and carry European landing software. Additionally, Luna 27 will be supported by a robot from the European Space Agency, which includes a drill that collects rock on the Antarctic Moon without melting compounds such as water ice found in the material. The lander will also carry a set of tools designed to study the solar wind. The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the sun’s upper atmosphere and traversing the solar system, affecting the Moon’s surface. The last two missions in the Luna mission series were told by Mr. Zelenyi that the launch date is not yet set. However, the Luna 28, also known as the Luna-Grunt, will be built directly aboard the ship before it to bring back to Earth frozen stored samples taken from the south pole of the Moon. Freezing the samples helps to retain water and other volatile compounds. “The specimens will be brought back, but different from those that have been brought back to earth before,” said Mr. Zelenyi. According to him, the specimen would be not only the topsoil (on the Moon) but all the volatiles and frozen impurities. This is the technical challenge. Eventually, mission Luna 29 will carry the new Lunokhod rover, continuing to merge with Soviet missions. In 1970, the Lunokhod-1 was the first rover to successfully operate on another planet. The car spent 10 months exploring the area known as the Mare Imbrium or Rainy Sea.

A world-breaking event

The Communist Party of China was born in the midst of internal and external troubles and dire straits. From its birth, it shouldered the historical mission of striving for national independence, liberation of the people, and realizing the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people. In the magnificent historical process, the party has united and led the people to succeed and fight stubbornly, overcoming all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, winning one victory after another, and making great historical contributions to the Chinese nation.

In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping reviewed the history of the Chinese nation in modern times from a broad perspective, deeply praising the birth of the Communist Party of China, the “world-breaking event”, and incisively summed up the great significance of the founding of the party with “three profound changes.” : It has profoundly changed the direction and process of the development of the Chinese nation after modern times, has profoundly changed the future and destiny of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and has profoundly changed the trend and pattern of world development. These “three profound changes”, from the past to the future, from China to the world, are groundbreaking, historical, comprehensive and fundamental.

Since the founding of the Communist Party of China, it has united and led the people of all ethnic groups across the country to do many earth-shattering events, and has made great achievements that shine through the annals of history. General Secretary Xi Jinping summed up this with “Three Great Historical Contributions” and “Three Great Leaps”: The first is to complete the new democratic revolution and establish the People’s Republic of China. A great leap in democracy”; the second is to complete the socialist revolution, establish the basic socialist system, and promote socialist construction, “to achieve the great leap of the Chinese nation from declining to fundamentally reversing its destiny, and continuing to prosper and become strong”; and the third is to carry out reforms. The opening up of the new great revolution created, persisted and developed socialism with Chinese characteristics, and “achieved the great leap of the Chinese people from standing up to becoming prosperous and strong.” These “Three Great Historical Contributions” and “Three Great Leaps” have inherited the past and the future, and have progressed step by step. They have profound internal connections and historical logic. They fully demonstrate the changes brought by the Communist Party of China to China, the Chinese people, and the Chinese nation. Earth-shaking, earth-shaking historic and fundamental changes.

The great victories achieved by the Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China are of incomparable significance in the history of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years, the history of socialism for more than 500 years, and the history of the development of New China for more than 70 years. General Secretary Xi Jinping used the “three vigorous vitality” to scientifically clarify: Let the Chinese civilization glow with new vigor in the modernization process, let scientific socialism glow with new vigor in the 21st century, and make the Chinese nation glow with new vigor. vitality. These “three vigorous vigors” are a full affirmation and enthusiastic praise of the great achievements and great contributions made by the Chinese Communist Party through hard and unremitting struggles along the way. The history of the party is the most vivid and convincing textbook. The great victories and achievements of our party contain rich historical enlightenment. General Secretary Xi Jinping used “three histories to tell us” to scientifically analyze the fundamental reasons why the party led the Chinese people to victory in a series of great struggles and wrote a magnificent chapter in the development of the Chinese nation, and came to a profound conclusion: history and the people choose the Communist Party of China to lead the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation The cause of the People’s Republic of China is correct and must be persisted for a long time and will never waver; the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics pioneered by the Chinese Communist Party under the leadership of the Chinese people is correct and must be persisted for a long time and will never be shaken; the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people take root in the land of China and absorb human civilization The strategy of achieving outstanding results and independent realization of national development is correct and must be adhered to for a long time and never wavered. These “three long-term adherences and never waver” are a profound summary of the party’s historical experience and a clear revelation of historical laws. All the achievements of the party and the people’s cause are the result of successive generations of Chinese Communists and the Chinese people. At the solemn and glorious moment of celebrating the birthday of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping, on behalf of the entire party, expresses his deepest memories of the older generation of revolutionaries, revolutionary martyrs, and people with lofty ideals who have made major contributions to the Communist Party of China, the great motherland, and the Chinese nation. The people and all the people and friends of all countries who care about and support the cause of China’s revolution, construction, and reforms would like to express their heartfelt gratitude, and pay high respect to the distinguished representatives from all walks of life who have been commended. Looking back at the past is to move forward better. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out earnestly, “We look back at history, not to seek solace from success, nor to lie on our laurels, to find excuses for avoiding the difficulties and problems facing today, but to summarize historical experience and grasp the laws of history. Enhance the courage and strength to advance”, “History always has to advance. History never waits for all hesitators, wait-and-sees, slack, and weak. Only those who keep pace with history and share the same destiny with the times can win bright future”. Facing the future, General Secretary Xi Jinping called on the whole party to always maintain the spirit of struggle of the Chinese Communists when the party was founded, and always maintain a heart for the people, from guiding ideology, ideals and beliefs, directions and roads, goals, deepening reforms, people’s standpoints, and peace. Development, party management, and other aspects have put forward the “eight persistence” requirements of not forgetting the original aspiration and continuing to advance. At the same time, it has made important arrangements for national defense and army building, the process of peaceful reunification of the motherland, and the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and eagerly urges young people to unswervingly follow the party and be pioneers, pioneers, and devotees who are at the forefront of the times. Push forward the Sinicization of Marxism On the afternoon of September 17, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was on a survey in Hunan, came to the Millennium Academy of Yuelu Academy. In front of the academy’s lecture hall, the general secretary stared at the “seeking truth from facts” plaque on the eaves, pondered for a long time, and was full of emotions: “Back then in Shikumen, there was a boat on Nanhu, so a dozen people, so far. There is something inside. The road must be clear and the truth must be localized.” Combining the basic principles of Marxism with China’s reality and using Sinicized Marxism to solve China’s own problems is the most profound and fundamental historical experience of the Communist Party of China. The reason why the Chinese Communist Party has been able to accomplish the arduous tasks impossible for various political forces in modern times is that it has always taken the scientific theory of Marxism as its guide for action, and has insisted on continuously enriching and developing Marxism in practice. In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, “Insist on not forgetting the original aspiration and continuing to advance, we must adhere to the guiding position of Marxism, adhere to the close integration of the basic principles of Marxism with the reality of contemporary China and the characteristics of the times, and promote theoretical innovation. , Practice innovation, and continuously push forward the Sinicization of Marxism.” Marxism and its development in China have provided the party and the people with a scientific and theoretical guidance that is consistent and advanced with the times, and has provided a solid ideological foundation for the unity and unity of the entire party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country. On the fundamental issue of adhering to the guiding position of Marxism, we must be firm and unwavering, and we must not waver in the slightest at any time and under any circumstances. At the same time, in the face of the characteristics and practical requirements of the new era, we must examine the realistic foundation and practical needs of the contemporary development of Marxism with a broader perspective, adhere to problem orientation, insist on focusing on what we are doing, and listen to the voice of the times. Further promote the integration of Marxism with the concrete reality of contemporary China’s development, continuously open up a new realm for the development of Marxism in the 21st century, and allow contemporary Chinese Marxism to radiate a more brilliant light of truth. “Marxism has profoundly changed China, and China has greatly enriched Marxism.” Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese Communists, mainly represented by Comrade Xi Jinping, have deepened their understanding of the laws of the Communist Party’s governance and socialist construction with a new perspective. , Recognition of the laws of human social development, arduous theoretical explorations, major theoretical innovations, and the creation of Xi Jinping’s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, guiding the party and the country’s cause to undergo historic changes and achieve historic achievements. This important thought is the latest achievement of the Sinicization of Marxism, and it is the most realistic and vivid Marxism of the current era. In contemporary China, to uphold and develop Xi Jinping’s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is to truly uphold and develop Marxism and to truly uphold and develop scientific socialism. Push forward the great practice of fighting for lofty ideals The revolutionary ideal is higher than the sky. The Chinese Communist Party is called the Communist Party because our party has established communism as a lofty ideal since its founding. The reason why our party has been able to withstand setbacks and rise up again and again is in the final analysis because our party has lofty ideals and lofty pursuits. The fire of ideals and beliefs will never go out once it is ignited. The belief in Marxism and the belief in socialism and communism are the political soul of the communists and the spiritual pillar for the communists to withstand any test. Strengthening ideals and convictions is a fundamental issue concerning the spiritual strength and future destiny of Marxist political parties and socialist countries. In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, “In insisting on not forgetting the original aspiration and moving forward, we must bear in mind that our party has set the struggle for communism and socialism as its program since its establishment, and strengthened the lofty ideals of communism. To share the common ideals of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and constantly push forward the great practice of striving for lofty ideals.” “It doesn’t matter if the head is beheaded, as long as the doctrine is true.” “The enemy can only cut off our heads and must not shake our faith.” For 100 years, the lofty ideals of communism have inspired generations of Communists to fight bravely, thousands of times. Wan’s martyrs gave their precious lives for this ideal. It is precisely with a large number of Chinese Communists who have firm communist ideals that the new China has been created and the development and progress of China today. To develop our country better, the power of ideals and beliefs is absolutely indispensable. The first thing for communists to temper their party spirit is to strengthen the lofty ideals of communism and the common ideals of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Ideals and beliefs will not arise out of thin air. Sober theoretically, and firm politically. We must unremittingly arm our minds with Marxist scientific theories, base our ideals and beliefs on rational identification with scientific theories, on a correct understanding of historical laws, and on an accurate grasp of basic national conditions. The whole party must thoroughly study Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thinking of the “Three Represents”, and the scientific outlook on development, thoroughly study Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and continuously improve the consciousness and theoretical level of Marxism, and maintain correctness. Sober recognition and persistent pursuit of lofty ideals and goals. Achieving communism is the highest ideal of the Communists. This is a long process that requires continuous struggle from generation to generation. In contemporary China, to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics is to make real efforts toward the highest ideals. General Secretary Xi Jinping requested that education of ideals and beliefs should be a strategic task of ideological construction, to maintain the political determination of the whole party in the pursuit of ideals, and to be a firm believer and loyal practitioner of the lofty ideals of communism and the common ideals of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In the historical process of building a well-off society in an all-round way and realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it will give full play to its vanguard and exemplary role. Push forward the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics “We successfully defeated the epidemic, and took the lead in turning the economy from negative to positive, and withstood a severe test. This is not a one-time luck. We have confidence in our path, theory, system, and culture.” “After these years of development, The post-70s, post-80s, post-90s, and post-00s generations in China can already see the world level up when they go abroad. This is self-confidence.” During the two sessions this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping exchanged views with members of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference in medicine and health and education. The remarks vividly reveal the location of today’s new atmosphere in China and the success of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, which immediately resonated as soon as it was reported. The direction determines the road, and the road determines destiny. Socialism with Chinese characteristics did not fall from the sky. It was a fundamental achievement made by the party and the people through untold hardships and a huge price. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is not only a great cause that we must continue to advance, but also a fundamental guarantee for us to open up the future. In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, “Insist on not forgetting the original aspiration and continuing to move forward, we must adhere to the socialist road with Chinese characteristics, the theory, the system, and the culture. The great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics is advancing.” The road of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the only way to realize socialist modernization and the only way to create a better life for the people; the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the correct theory that guides the party and the people to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation along the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is a scientific theory that stands at the forefront of the times and advances with the times; the socialist system with Chinese characteristics is the fundamental institutional guarantee for the development and progress of contemporary China. It is an advanced system with distinctive Chinese characteristics, obvious institutional advantages, and strong self-improvement capabilities; Chinese characteristics The socialist culture is derived from the excellent traditional Chinese culture bred by the Chinese nation’s 5,000 years of civilization and history. It is cast in the revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture created by the party leading the people in revolution, construction and reform, and rooted in socialism with Chinese characteristics. Great practice is a powerful spiritual force that inspires the whole party and people of all ethnic groups to march forward bravely. In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping formally put forward the major proposition of “cultural confidence” on the basis of the “three confidences”, creatively expounding the “four confidences” scientifically, enriching and perfecting socialism with Chinese characteristics. The ideological connotation of the ideological connotation has taken our party’s understanding of socialism with Chinese characteristics forward a big step. Upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics is a big essay, and every generation of Communists must continue to write a new chapter in this big essay. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has firmly grasped the theme of adhering to and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, coordinated the promotion of the “five in one” overall layout, coordinated the promotion of the “four comprehensive” strategic layout, and promoted the party And the country’s cause has undergone historic changes and historic achievements have been made. Especially in a series of great struggles such as responding to the economic and trade frictions provoked by the United States, winning the battle against poverty, and fighting the new crown pneumonia epidemic, socialism with Chinese characteristics has undergone “stress tests” time and time again, and its advantages have been greatly demonstrated. The faith in characteristic socialism has been consolidated. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that “in today’s world, if any political party, country, and nation can be confident, then the Communist Party of China, the People’s Republic of China, and the Chinese nation have the most reason to be confident”. At the party history study and education mobilization meeting on February 20 this year, the general secretary made this speech again. This is a true expression of the confidence of the leaders of the major powers and major parties. On the way forward, the whole party and the people of the whole country will be confident in the road, theory, system, and culture.

Entering a new stage of development, we are faced with a more severe and complex international situation, arduous and onerous reform, development and stability tasks. We must thoroughly implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, promote high-quality development, and ensure that the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country is successful. Good start. Push forward reform and opening up Shenzhen, a small fishing village after sunset, took the lead in the era of reform and opening up. It took 40 years to complete the history of some international metropolises in foreign countries for hundreds of years, and become an international metropolis with global influence, which has witnessed China. A wonderful interpretation of characteristic socialism on a piece of white paper. On October 14, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the exhibition celebrating the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. He expressed his sincere feelings about the profound changes brought about by the reform and opening up to this land: “It’s really the vicissitudes of life!” Reform and opening up is the most distinctive feature of contemporary China and the most distinctive banner of our party in the new historical period. Reform and opening up is a key choice that determines the destiny of contemporary China, and an important magic weapon for the party and the people’s cause to make great strides to catch up with the times.

Integrity and coordination, serving the overall situation of economic and social development with deeper reforms and higher levels of openness, has created a new situation in which reforms and opening up promote historic changes and historic achievements in the cause of the party and the country. “Reform and opening up are only in progress, but not completed.” At present, my country’s basic institutional framework in various fields has basically been established, and many fields have achieved historic reforms, systemic reshaping, and overall reconstruction. The comprehensive deepening of reforms has made great historical achievements. In the new development stage, comprehensively deepening reforms is closely related to implementing new development concepts and building a new development pattern. It is necessary to give full play to the key role of comprehensively deepening reforms in building a new development pattern, focusing on achieving high-level self-reliance, smoothing economic circulation, expanding domestic demand, implementing high-level opening up, and promoting comprehensive green transformation and other continuous deepening reforms, strengthening system integration and precision Implement policies to promote the reform to a deeper level. Advance the cause of benefiting the people The people’s stand is the fundamental political stand of the Communist Party of China, and it is a significant mark that distinguishes a Marxist party from other parties. The reason why our party is able to develop and grow, and the reason why socialism with Chinese characteristics can continue to advance is precisely because it depends on the people; the reason why our party can be supported by the people, and the reason why socialism with Chinese characteristics can be supported by the people is precisely because of the benefits.

People’s living standards have significantly improved, and people’s sense of gain and happiness The sense of safety and security continues to improve.

On the morning of September 8, 2020, the National Commendation Conference for Fighting the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic was held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The new crown pneumonia epidemic is the most serious infectious disease pandemic in the world in a century. It is a major public health emergency with the fastest spread, the widest range of infections, and the most difficult prevention and control since the founding of New China. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core united and led the entire party and the people of all ethnic groups across the country to quickly start the people’s war, general war, and resistance war for epidemic prevention and control, and achieved major strategic results in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic. my country will become the only global economy in 2020. Major economies with positive growth.Xinhua News Agency reporter Rao Aimin/Photo To seek happiness for the people, there is no end, only a continuous new starting point. At the Party History Study and Education Mobilization Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again emphasized that “The country is the people, and the people are the country”.

To advance the noble cause of human peace and development

“A journey on the road, the world is for the public.” The Communist Party of China is a party that seeks happiness for the Chinese people and is also a party that strives for the cause of human progress. The Communist Party of China has always made new and greater contributions to mankind as its mission.

The Communist Party of China and the Chinese people have come through hardships, fully understand the preciousness of peace and the value of development, and regard the promotion of world peace and development as their sacred duty. In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, “Insist on not forgetting the original aspirations and moving forward, we must unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development, unswervingly pursue a mutually beneficial and win-win opening strategy, and strengthen friendly exchanges with other countries. The people of all countries continue to push forward the noble cause of peace and development of mankind.”

With the multi-polarization of the world, the in-depth development of economic globalization, cultural diversification, and the continuous advancement of social informatization, mankind today is more equipped than ever to move towards the goal of peace and development. In his speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping comprehensively expounded China’s foreign policy from multiple angles, proposed Chinese plans and propositions for global governance, and clearly pointed out, “China advocates a sense of community with a shared future for mankind, and opposes the Cold War mentality and zero-sum game.

Push forward the great new project of party building

It’s up to The communist party to do thing well in China. Party building is of great importance and affects the overall situation. At what stage the cause of the party and the people has developed, what stage must the party building be advanced to. This is the basic law that must be grasped to strengthen party building.

Upholding and improving the party’s leadership is where the fundamental and lifeblood of the party and the country lie, and where the interests and happiness of the people of all ethnic groups in the country lie. Our party must always be the vanguard of the times, the backbone of the nation, and always be a Marxist party, and it must always be strong. In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, “Insist on not forgetting the original aspiration and continuing to move forward, we must maintain the party’s advanced nature and purity, strive to improve governance and leadership, and strive to strengthen the ability to resist risks, resist corruption and prevent degeneration. Continuing to push forward the great new project of party building.”

To govern the country, the party must be governed first, and the party must be governed strictly. General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward clear requirements for the implementation of “strict requirements” throughout the entire process of governing the party from four aspects, including serious internal party political life, strict work style construction, severe punishment of corruption, and strict team building: strengthening and standardizing internal party political life, Strictly enforce the party’s political discipline and rules, strengthen the political, contemporary, principled, and combative nature of the party’s political life, and comprehensively purify the party’s political ecology; uphold and carry forward the party’s fine traditions and style of work, and insist on regular and careful attention , Grasp the long, make the party’s style better, ensure that the party always breathes with the people, share fate, and heart-to-heart; adhere to the attitude of zero tolerance, so that corrupt elements have no hiding place in the party; adhere to virtue and talent Be both, moral first, adhere to all corners of the world, appoint people on their merits, insist on career and fairness, resolutely prevent and correct unhealthy trends in the selection and employment of people, and carefully train good cadres needed by the party and the people, discover them in time, and be reasonable Use it.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has coordinated the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the world’s major changes unseen in a century, insisted on leading the great social revolution with the party’s self-revolution, and unswervingly and comprehensively governed it strictly. The party unswervingly promotes the construction of party style and clean government and the fight against corruption, and unswervingly builds the party stronger and stronger. The party’s creativity, cohesion, and combat effectiveness have been significantly improved, and the party’s self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation, and self-improvement Ability continues to increase.

As a century-old party, our party always maintains its advanced nature and purity, its youthful vitality, how to obtain the support and support of the people forever, and how to achieve long-term governance is a fundamental question that we must answer and resolve. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has successively organized and carried out mass line education practice activities, “three stricts and three realities” special education, “two studies and one action” learning education, and “not forgetting the original intention and keeping in mind the mission” theme education. This year, at the important moment of celebrating the centenary of the Communist Party of China, at the key node of the historical intersection of the “two centenary” struggle goals, the Party Central Committee deployed the entire party to carry out party history study and education. Fundamentally speaking, this series of intensive learning and education must be based on the present, in order to continuously promote the new great project of party building, continuously solve the practical problems of party building, and continuously improve the party’s leadership and governance level. The ability to resist corruption, prevent degeneration and resist risks, ensure that our party is always at the forefront of the times in the historical process of profound changes in the world situation, and has always become the backbone of the people of the country in the historical process of responding to various risks and challenges at home and abroad. In the historical process of socialism with Chinese characteristics, it has always become a strong core of leadership.

Hand in a new and better answer sheet

The era is the person who writes the papers, the Communist Party of China is the respondent, and the people are the readers.

On the morning of March 23, 1949, Comrade Mao Zedong led the central authorities to leave Xibaipo and set off for Beiping. Before leaving, he meaningfully warned his comrades around him: “Today is the day to enter Beijing to rush for the exam.”

On the afternoon of July 11, 2013, when the party’s mass line education practice activities were carried out in depth, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Xibaipo. Inside the memorial hall, the general secretary firmly pointed out: “The’rush for the exam’ facing the party is far from over.”

In this important speech, the general secretary revisited the story of “rushing for the exam” in Beijing, and pointed out that “more than 60 years of practice has proved that our party has achieved excellent results in this historic exam. At the same time, the exam has not yet ended. It is still going on. Today, all the work done by our party in uniting and leading the people is the continuation of this examination.”

“Exams” are endless, and “rush exams” are endless. Today’s China is standing at the historical intersection of the “two centenary” goals. The “14th Five-Year Plan” has just started. The grand goal of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way will take 15 years of unremitting efforts from the blueprint to reality. struggle. From this new starting point, we will continue to struggle for another 15 years until the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China to become a powerful modern socialist country. To achieve this series of great goals, the road ahead is long and difficult. There are countless “Loushan Pass” and “Lazikou” waiting to be conquered. The challenges, pressures, and tests the party faces are huge, long-term, and unprecedented. of.

Only hope, so enterprising; only enterprising, so new day. Facing a bright future and facing challenges at all levels, only by being a determined forge ahead and fighter can we overcome difficulties, overcome obstacles, and win victory. In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping is extremely proud and extremely determined to inspire the entire party: “We are closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history, and we are more confident and capable of achieving it than at any time in history. This goal. We can say that the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation must be realized, and it will definitely be realized.”

“The road is long and long, and I will search up and down.” Our party’s first centenary goal is about to be achieved, and the second centenary goal is closer to us. All comrades in the party do not forget their original aspirations, keep their mission in mind, continue to move forward, always maintain a humble, prudent, arrogant, and non-irritable style, always maintain a style of hard struggle, and be brave to change and innovate, never rigid, never stagnant. Be able to withstand the test in the new historic test, and hand in new and more excellent answers to history and the people!

Once, we were forced to increase acreage, increase food production to ensure people’s living and have a surplus for export. Now the need of society is increasing, from eating well to eating well, eating clean and nutritious. Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan visited, worked and shared stories of modern farmers with leaders and reporters of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper’s Representative Office in the Mekong Delta region. Photo: Hoang Vu. Therefore, the agricultural economy problem posed at present is not how much output is achieved, but the efficiency and investment efficiency. Farmers pocket how much profit from the cultivated area, the yield after each season. It is necessary to link and do cooperative economy to develop, to be able to turn quickly and promptly. In the past, we have made the master plan and investment in infrastructure, but with the Resolution 120 / NQ-CP of the Government on sustainable development of the Mekong Delta, it is necessary to have a detailed plan for each ecological sub-region. Agriculture. Many Vietnamese farmers are very good, very creative, they make many models that are not only suitable, favorable, but also very effective. Specialized, specialized and specialized newspapers Report to the Minister, Editor-in-Chief of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper Nguyen Ngoc Thach said that the predecessor of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper was Tac Dat newspaper, named by Uncle Ho and wrote the first issue. Up to now, the newspaper has undergone more than 75 years of development and growth. Editor-in-chief of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper Nguyen Ngoc Thach said that the predecessor of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper was Tac Dat newspaper, having spent more than 75 years of development and growth, becoming a specialized, specialized, specialized newspaper according to the report. multimedia direction.

The Mars expedition can last at least 3 years. Brain structure effect The missions that bring humans to Mars are considered to be a major leap in space exploration. NASA has a goal of sending people to Mars by 2030. However, a trip to Mars is not the same as taking a flight to New York. Because space is an extremely harsh environment for human life, including the lack of gravity and harmful radiation, as well as isolation and lack of day or night. Missions to Mars will require more astronauts physically and mentally than man-made journeys in 60 years of space exploration. A flight to Mars and back will take about 14 months. Meanwhile, the actual exploration mission will last at least 3 years. Maintaining good cognition and effective teamwork are the prerequisites for the safe and successful outcomes of these tasks. However, a new study published in the journal Frontiers of Physiology found that the lack of gravity during such missions can have negative effects on cognitive skills, as well as emotions. of the astronauts. Since the first space missions, it is clear that exposure to a “microgravity” (weightless) environment leads to drastic changes in the human body. This includes changes in the cardiovascular, skeletal and nervous systems. On Earth, we discover gravity with the aid of our eyesight and various organs, including those in the inner ear. When our heads are upright, the hearing stones in the vestibular system are perfectly balanced by a viscous liquid. However, as we move the head, gravity causes the liquid to move with it. This activates signals to the brain that our heads have changed positions. In space, this process is no longer active. Space flight can even bring about adverse changes to the brain structure of astronauts. Changes in brain structure were observed in astronauts after they returned from the International Space Station (ISS). The scientists found that in these astronauts, the brain physically moves inside the skull and reduces the ability to connect between regions of the brain layer, the cortex and the inner regions. Emotional perception is extremely important to astronauts. Difficulty recognizing other people’s feelings The acumen and quick thinking of astronauts are essential elements in a space mission. So is the ability to accurately “read” each other’s emotional expressions. Because, they have to spend a lot of time sitting together in a small space. Therefore, it is recommended that space agencies consider training, as well as psychological support for astronauts before the flight, to minimize this risk. To date, how these changes affect behavior is not concretely understood. However, scientists are getting closer to the answer. Because, they realize, astronauts can be disoriented, disturbed perception, balance disorders and motion sickness. However, such findings are often made based on a small group of people. New NASA-backed research has explored the effect of microgravity on cognitive performance. However, 24 study participants were not sent to space. Instead, the scientists asked these people to lie in bed. This is because the effect of a certain type of bed rest is similar to that of microgravity. Therefore, scientists have repeatedly applied this method in research. When we are upright, the body and hearing stones in the vestibular system are in the same direction as gravity. Meanwhile, the moment of lying down, the body and hearing stones are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, study participants had to lie on their back at an angle of 6 degrees, their head lower than their body. They were asked not to change their position for almost two months. At the same time, the participants also routinely perform a series of cognitive missions designed for astronauts and related to space flight. As a result, it helps to evaluate their spatial orientation, memory, risk-taking behavior and understanding of their feelings about others. The results showed that the cognitive speed of these people slowed a bit but remained reliable in tasks related to sensory and motor skills. This seems to be consistent with reported changes in brain tissue density across “motor sensory regions”. These are the main motor and sensory regions of the brain, helping to process sensory input and movement, observed after a person has flown into space. Participants also had difficulty recognizing emotions when looking at people’s faces. Adjusting to changes in gravity takes time and effort. While performance on most cognitive tasks initially decreased, after about 60 days, the participants remained unchanged throughout the test. However, their ability to perceive emotions continued to deteriorate. In fact, the participants became inclined toward negative emotions. They are more likely to recognize another person’s expression as angry and have a hard time explaining how happy or normal the other person is.

Origin of black soybean noodles Jajangmyeon – jajangmyeon – is an extremely popular dish in Korea. Even so, it originated in the neighboring country – China. Many books and newspapers recorded that the black soy sauce noodles originated from the Chinese zhajiangmian fried noodles in Shandong. In the Joseon era, Korean cuisine has Chinese influences. Later, the Korean people developed noodles, which were changed to suit the taste and national culture. From there, the name jajangmyeon was born. Black noodles – a traditional dish on April 14, Black Valentine’s Day. When entering Korea, the dish is so popular that it is available everywhere in this country, from restaurants, eateries to street food stalls. Black noodles on Valentine’s Day on 14/4 Jajangmyeon Noodles is a diverse combination of ingredients and colors, representing the emotional layers of each person. The black color of the sauce symbolizes empathy for the souls of single people. Therefore, the food is like the message of the FA people to each other, that they will quickly find a suitable match for them. Since then, black soy sauce noodles have become a traditional dish for Black Day – Black Valentine, also known as Korea’s Singles Day. Students in universities in Korea also use this noodle dish as a substitute for lunch, with the concept that “next year will be different”. They also often wear black, enjoying a large bowl of jajangmyeon to show empathy among “lonely souls”.

This is the first data center in Vietnam that meets Uptime Tier 3 standards in both design (TCCD) and construction and operation (TCCF).

Uptime Tier 3 is the 3rd on the Uptime Institute’s four-tiered data center scale.

To achieve this standard, a Data Center system must ensure uptime (uptime) of 99.982% or more and downtime (downtime) not more than 1.6 hours per year.

In addition, this system must be capable of redundancy to still be able to operate if the power is lost for up to 72 consecutive hours.

To meet the strict standards of Uptime Institute, ecoDC uses 100% of infrastructure equipment from two strategic partners, Delta and Arista.

Besides, this Data Center also uses an inrow cooling system. This is an energy saving technology for the first time deployed in Vietnam with the ability to control the cooling temperature to each server.

This system includes air conditioning running along the rack with hot air intake assist. Thanks to that, ecoDC can increase cooling efficiency and reduce power consumption.

Vietnam has the first data center with 2 Uptime Tier 3 standards. Photo: Trong Dat

Vietnam currently has a total of 5 Data Center systems meeting Uptime Tier 3 standards. However, these systems only meet Uptime Tier 3 standard in terms of design.

This data center costs the developer about 100 billion VND. Currently, the system has been completed with 6 PODs (box-type data centers) with a total of 150 racks (network cabinets). EcoDC will officially launch and start operating from April 2021.

Sharing at this event, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Huy Dung said that the ecoDC data center meeting both Uptime Tier 3 standards in design and operation is a serious work result of HTC-ITC. This will also be a solid step in the process of transforming the number of countries.

According to Deputy Minister Nguyen Huy Dung, in order to have a lasting and strong development, enterprises must associate their mission with the national one.

Vietnam is implementing digital transformation, moving all activities from real space to cyberspace, from real to digital environment.

In the National Digital Transformation program, the Ministry of Information and Communications determined that Vietnam must develop digital infrastructure, including broadband telecommunications infrastructure, cloud computing, electronic identification and authentication. Vietnam is also realizing the vision that each citizen has a smartphone, each household has an Internet fiber optic cable connection.

The most fundamental difference between telecom and digital infrastructure is data centers and cloud computing platforms that make IT a service accessible to everyone.

In that process, businesses need to receive the mission that is in sync with the country’s mission.

Deputy Minister Nguyen Huy Dung suggested, as an enterprise providing basic infrastructure, HTC-ITC should soon work with functional units of the Ministry of Information and Communications to meet the technical requirements set forth for the ensure network operation and safety.

As a platform provider, HTC-ITC assumes the mission of being a “giant shoulder” for small and medium enterprises and for the Vietnamese digital transformation process.
