I just learned augmented reality advertisement is a thing now. 🤯Because why should you sell ad space only once, when you can sell it per TV channel, streaming service, country etc?😬 pic.twitter.com/8NfFrI0ZLP

The Helion Energy design is a pulsed aneutronic fusion device designed to use helium-3 and deuterium as fuel and produces electricity directly from the reaction, without generating heat to run steam turbines. Helium-3 is rare on the Earth, but can be mined from the lunar regolith, where it is deposited by the solar wind.

CONTINUITY: Fifty Years Ago—Remembering Soyuz 11
Here is information about Soyuz 11, whose crew was lost when their re-entry capsule depressurised after undocking from the Salyut 1 space station on June 29th, 1971. They are, to date, the only humans to have died in space (as opposed to in a launch or landing accident while in the Earth's atmosphere). The film shows unsuccessful attempts to revive the crew after landing which some may find disturbing.
