The jury in the Kyle Rittenhouse case is already on its second day of deliberations

The jury in the "Kyle Rittenhouse" case is already on its second day of deliberations On Wednesday in Kenosha, Wisconsin, jurors began their second day of deliberations in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. The jury deliberated all day Tuesday without reaching a decision, and they notified the court that they would return in the morning to complete their investigation. In the August 2020 shootings in Kenosha that killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and injured Gaige Grosskreutz after a tumultuous night of protests following the police death of Jacob Blake, Rittenhouse faces five felony counts.

NASA is trying to prevent an asteroid from colliding with Earth

 

NASA


NASA is preparing to keep an asteroid it described as "dangerous" from colliding with Earth.

NASA indicated that it will launch a mission in November, to protect the planet, and push a dangerous asteroid with a spacecraft.

NASA's mission is to deflect the asteroid into deep space, known as the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission.
The mission is heading to the asteroid at 1:20 a.m. EDT on November 24 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from a base in California.
According to the British newspaper, “Daily Mail”, DART will smash into an asteroid known as “Didymoon”, at a speed of approximately 13,500 mph on October 2, 2022.
Also, in doing so the Didymoon's velocity would change by a fraction of a percentage, but it would be enough for NASA to be able to measure its changing orbit, and this would provide valuable input into future asteroid-disbursing missions.
The asteroid is approximately 160 meters (524 ft) wide and orbits a much larger space rock known as Didymus that is about 780 meters (2,559 ft) wide.
It is worth noting that "Didymoon" came relatively close to Earth in 2003, with a distance of 3.7 million miles, and it is also likely to hit Earth due to the presence of more space rocks that have not been detected by NASA and the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) so far.
NASA said in a statement that DART will be the first demonstration of kinetic impact technology, which involves sending one or more large spacecraft into the path of an asteroid in space to alter its motion.

Elon Musk is the richest person in the world thanks to the rise of #Tesla shares

  Tesla stock After Elon Musk became the richest person in the world thanks to the recent rise of Tesla shares, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas said that SpaceX will push Musk to become a "trillionaire." The space exploration company is challenging any preconceived notion of what was feasible and the possible timeframe, in terms of rockets, launch vehicles and supporting infrastructure who can catch up, Jonas added in a note entitled SpaceX Jump Fast forward. SpaceX now makes up less than 17% of Musk's net worth of $241.4 billion, according to the Bloomberg Rich List, after the company was valued at $100 billion in a secondary stock sale earlier in October. Jonas, who currently values SpaceX for $200 billion, added that he views it as a multi-company, encompassing space infrastructure, Earth observation, deep space exploration and other industries. Tesla’s valuation tops $1 trillion after Hertz’s plan to buy 100,000 Tesla EVs

Walmart warns its customers of potentially fatal products and calls on them to return them immediately

  Walmart stores have called on all of their customers not to use an aromatherapy spray product after finding a "rare and dangerous bacteria" that can cause a fatal condition, as investigators are looking into two deaths so far. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tested Walmart's essential oil-infused aromatherapy spray with gemstones and found Burkholderia pseudomallei bacteria, which can cause a potentially fatal condition called melasma. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the CDC is investigating four confirmed cases in Kansas, Minnesota, Texas and Georgia, along with two deaths, including the death of one child. The CDC did not confirm the source of the four infections, but indicated that there was a bottle of the same type of bacteria in the home of one of the deceased from melasma. The CDC advises consumers who use the aromatherapy spray to immediately stop using the product, place the bottle in clear reusable bags, place it in a c...
