This computer-generated image visualizes tracked objects in Earth orbit, approximately 95% of which are non-functional orbital space debris. Each dot represents an object’s current location, scaled for graphic visibility rather than actual size relative to Earth. The greater concentration of objects over the northern hemisphere is largely attributed to Russian debris in high-inclination, high-eccentricity orbits.

The Apollo program, a monumental achievement by NASA, was the United States’ endeavor to land humans on the Moon. Spanning from 1961 to 1972, it reached its pinnacle with Apollo 11 in July 1969, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the lunar surface. In total, six Apollo missions successfully landed on the Moon, with 12 astronauts exploring its terrain and collecting valuable lunar samples. Image source: Unsplash

Home House Makeover Living Room

After a long tiring day, all we want to do is to come back to a warm, clean, comfortable home where we can lay back in a corner, put a relaxing Illayaraaja classic and have a good book in our hands. But the reality of things especially when we have very little time to clean up, organise and run out of storage, the house can be in a terrible mess & uncomfortable.

Before I started watching Star Trek Deep Space Nine over Netflix, the Ferengi must have been one of the ugliest, most snobbish and profit-minded alien race in the Star Trek universe.

Independence Day Resurgence 2016 Movie Review Coke Jeff Goldblum

I still remember watching the first movie, Independence Day which came out in 1996 in the old Rex theatre together with my siblings and we were sitting on the premium class on the first floor.

On the very scene when David Levinson introduced a virus into the alien ship’s shield and asks Major Steven Mitchell to shoot the can, we actually heard the can flying from the right to the left in the theatre. It was a blockbuster that year. Image source: Tumblr.

Well, let’s read this interesting piece of development when it comes to the direction of the nation:-

Malaysia now has a National Space Policy to allow the country to look into developing technologies related to aerospace and turn it into a new economic contributor.
With the policy in place, authorities can plan to develop this sector systematically and ensure it is well managed so that the nation will benefit from it.
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said that fields related to space science, be it research or creating new technologies, have vast potential and he was confident that Malaysia could become a significant contributor to the world in these areas.
The Prime Minister said he was happy to read about the success story of astrophysics PhD student Nurul Adlyka Ainul Annuar, whose discovery in the field of astronomy made headlines around the world.

The Death Star from the Star Wars universal was 120 kilometres in diameter. Much of its interior space was devoted to systems required to maintain its massive super laser and power plant. At the heart of the Death Star is a gigantic hyper matter reactor. Within this chamber burned a fusion reaction of prodigious proportions, fed by stellar fuel bottles lining its periphery (Star Wars Databank)
