Samsung has unveiled its Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note 10 Lite smartphones in India, the two major launches the South Korean electronics giant has planned for this week. As the name makes abundantly clear, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite and Galaxy S10 Lite are toned-down versions of the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S10, respectively, but both do offer a compelling package for their price.

On Sunday morning, SpaceX successfully launched one of its last big flight tests for NASA, a launch that could pave the way for the company to carry passengers into space later this year. The flight tested the emergency escape system on the company’s new passenger spacecraft, and SpaceX destroyed one of its Falcon 9 rockets in the process — on purpose.
SpaceX was testing its new Crew Dragon capsule, a passenger spacecraft the company is developing for NASA’s Commercial Crew program. This weekend’s test, known as an in-flight abort test, helped to ensure that the Crew Dragon can keep its crew safe in the unlikely event of an emergency, a requirement before NASA will allow astronauts to fly on it. SpaceX mimicked a failed rocket launch, to show that its Crew Dragon can survive and protect its precious inhabitants inside.
Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912, after striking an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died, making the sinking one of modern history's deadliest peacetime commercial marine disasters. RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time she entered service and was the second of three Olympic-class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line. She was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. Thomas Andrews, chief naval architect of the shipyard at the time, died in the disaster.
Developed for a NASA project, the soft sheets full of high-tech gear can turn almost anything into a versatile automaton.
When NASA put out a call for soft robotic technologies, Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio and her team at Yale University replied with something remarkable: robotic skins that can wrap around everyday objects, turning almost anything into a moving, grasping robot.
can’t tell us the ocean isn’t full of aliens ? this is a Crinoidea, also known as a feather starfish. Here’s some quick facts ? Feather starfish don’t have stomachs as their oesophagus connects directly to their intestines. There’s about 600 different species! To reproduce the male and female crinoids release the egg and sperm into the ocean and let the magic happen (no romance ?)
Launching Americans from U.S. soil, sending a new rover to Mars and continuing to prepare for human missions to the Moon are just a few of the things NASA has planned for 2020.
