Image: NASA NASA has turned on the electric Hall thrusters of Psyche, a spacecraft that’s now gently motoring toward a metal-rich asteroid embedded in the main asteroid belt beyond Mars. The agency says Psyche is in “full cruise” mode now, six months after launching on October 13th, 2023, on a conventional, SpaceX rocket. On the way, NASA used Psyche to test laser-based deep space communications. The craft shot a communications laser back at the Earth from close to 10 million miles out, which is a first for NASA. It’s expected to reach its target and namesake, the Psyche asteroid, by 2029 and will orbit it for two years, observing and sending data back to NASA. Scientists suspect Psyche is actually the beginning core of a planet, also called a... Continue reading…

US—Health care professionals across the globe have been working overtime to prepare for the impending bird flu epidemic – not by studying medical journals or honing their clinical skills, but by practicing their TikTok dance routines. According to sources close to the situation, the decision to focus on TikTok dances was made after a group of health care professionals stumbled upon a video of a doctor performing a complex dance routine while wearing a hazmat suit. Inspired by this display of medical mastery, the group decided that the best way to prepare for the bird flu epidemic was by practicing their own TikTok dances. “I know it might seem unconventional, but we really believe that our TikTok dance skills will be crucial in the fight against bird flu,” said one health care professional in an interview with a major news outlet. “After all, if we can master the ‘Renegade’ dance while wearing a hazmat suit, we can certainly handle anything the bird flu throws our way.” The health care professionals have been working tirelessly to perfect their dance routines, often staying late into the night to practice their moves. And, according to reports, their efforts have not gone unnoticed – their TikTok dance videos have gone viral, amassing millions of views and earning them a legion of adoring fans. “I never thought I’d become a TikTok star, but here we are,” said one proud health care professional. “And who knows – maybe our dance skills will inspire others to join the fight against bird flu.” Despite the widespread acclaim for their TikTok dance routines, there are still some who remain skeptical about the efficacy of this approach. “I just don’t see how practicing dance routines is going to help us prepare for a global epidemic,” said one critic. “I mean, sure, it’s entertaining, but is it really going to save lives?” Only time will tell whether the health care professionals’ TikTok dance skills will be enough to defeat the bird flu epidemic. But one thing is certain: their dedication to their craft is nothing short of remarkable, and their commitment to preparing for the worst – no matter how unconventional – is an inspiration to us all.
