Aerial Eclipse-Viewing Parties

Posted by in category: futurism

For the first solar eclipse since 1979, Southwest Airlines will be hosting an aerial eclipse-viewing party.

Passengers on five domestic Southwest Airlines flights will get a view of the total eclipse from 35,000 feet in the air. While hundreds of flights will have the opportunity of viewing the eclipse from the air, these five Southwest flights are said to have the best view. For these flights, Southwest will provide passengers with eclipse-viewing glasses. Flight attendants will also serve special “cosmic cocktails” in-flight. Those hoping to grab a seat at one of these aerial eclipse parties will have to reserve their seats quickly due to the airline’s open-seating policy.

Cancer continues to be one of the major diseases that plagues humanity. Around the world, approximately 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The prevalence of cancer is due, in part, to the absence of a universal cure for all forms of the disease. While various treatments are available, each type of cancer generally requires specific treatment.

A new method developed by doctors at the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London presents a hopeful solution. The team has successfully tested their method on two infants with an aggressive form of leukaemia.

Scientists Just Made Food From Electricity

Posted by in categories: food, solar power, sustainability

A batch of single-cell protein has been produced by using electricity and carbon dioxide in a joint study by the Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. Protein produced in this way can be further developed for use as food and animal feed. The method releases food production from restrictions related to the environment. The protein can be produced anywhere renewable energy, such as solar energy, is available.” In practice, all the raw materials are available from the air. In the future, the technology can be transported to, for instance, deserts and other areas facing famine.
