>The Space craft that NASA deliberately crashed into an asteroid last month succeeded in nudging the rock moonlet out of its orbit -- the first time humanity has altered the motion of a celestial body, NASA chief announced on Tuesday

Which leads to an interesting question, would this methodology be the basis for future endeavors to nudge other asteroids out of its orbit, should that celestial body threatened Earth in the future years to come?

Since other countries particularly China doing the same thing in 2026 how would such actions affect both geopolitical and outer space policy?

>Someone who speaks low and slowly might have Parkinson's disease. Slurring is a sign of a stroke. Scientists could even diagnose depression or cancer. The team will start by collecting the voices of people with conditions in five areas: neurological disorders, voice disorders, mood disorders, respiratory disorders and pediatric disorders like autism and speech delays.

>The Australian National University (ANU) will lend its unique expertise in plant biology to an ambitious mission led by Australian space start-up Lunaria One that aims to grow plants on the moon by as early as 2025. 
>
>Lunaria One's Australian Lunar Experiment Promoting Horticulture (ALEPH) will be the first in a series of experiments to investigate whether plants can not only tolerate but thrive on the lunar surface. The project is an early step toward growing plants for food, medicine and oxygen production, which are all crucial to establishing human life on the moon. 

Which leads to an interesting question, with the fact that plants can be grown on lunar soil and the fact that both the US and China is making a play for the lunar body due to the Helium 3 resource, are we looking at the beginnings of a new colonization era only this time it'll be in Space?

>Innovations in artificial intelligence are making it faster and cheaper for political campaigns to identify, turn out and extract money from voters.

>The big picture: Consultants for both major parties are hoovering up voter data to hone advanced fundraising and persuasion tactics. These data tools are especially useful in down-ballot local races.

As politicians revert to AI for their political efforts, the question arises in the form of does the influence of these political campaigners over their operations get reduced with the advent of these AI systems?

What effect would AI have on our political environment in the years to come?

>The footage begins with a shot of the drone as it approaches the rooftop of a building in a nondescript urban area with the compact armed robot dog being carried under the drone’s frame. The drone, acting as a robotic dropship of sorts, then lands atop the roof, releases the robodog, and flies away. Shortly thereafter the robodog unfurls from its folded position and begins navigating its new surroundings with what looks to be a Chinese QBB-97 light machine gun (designated as Type 95 LGM in the United States) mounted on its back.

Is this the future of warfare, utilizing robots in such a manner?

>Artificial intelligence is taking the pizza business by storm, with a host of startups introducing machines that churn out pies faster and cheaper than humans.
>
>Why it matters: While robots are making steady inroads in the restaurant industry overall — flipping burgers, frying chips, brewing coffee — pizza is the place where automation may make its earliest and most transformative mark.

This raises an interesting question, with the advent of artificial intelligence in conjunction with robots, it'll be more likely than not that the Pizzas will have more consistency, and less variation, will it mean that Pizza makers will have more of an artistic quality since their numbers will eventually be reduced due to the influx of quality robots coming into the fast food scene?
