Download: “Doomsday Glacier”, and Europe’s hopes for missiles

The Thwaites Glacier is a larger castle than Florida, a ice wall of about 4000 feet above the foundation in the west of Antarctica, and guarded the low ice cover behind it.

But the warm strong ocean stream weakens its foundations and speeds its slice in the sea. Scientists fear that water can drop the walls in the coming decades, as they started a runaway operation that would break the western ice cover in Antarctica, which represents the beginning of a global climatic disaster. As a result, they are eager to understand the possibility of such a collapse, and when it can happen, and if we have the ability to stop it.

Scientists at MITMMOOTOH College established the Arête Glacier initiative last year in the hope of providing clearer answers to these questions. The non -profit research organization will officially reveal itself, launch its website, and requests to publish research proposals today, as it corresponds to the opening day of the United Nations ice rivers, Massachusetts Institute Technology Review Technology The report can be exclusively.

Europe has finally become serious about commercial missiles

Europe is on the threshold of a new dawn in commercial space technology. With the intensification of global political tensions and the relations with the United States becomes increasingly tense, many European companies are now planning to conduct its own launch operations in an attempt to reduce the continent’s dependence on American missiles.

In the coming days, Isar Aerospace, a company based in Munich, will try to launch the spectrum missile from a site in Andrea’s scents in Norway. A space head is built there to support small commercial missiles, and the spectrum is the first to make an attempt.


Regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, the launch is trying an important moment as Europe tries to start making its own missiles. Its launch operations and other launch operations later this year can give Europe multiple ways to reach a space without the need to rely on American missiles. Read the full story.
