SpaceX is gearing up to launch a groundbreaking private crewed mission this summer, named Polaris Dawn. The mission will test new ultra-high orbits, assess the Starlink laser communication network, and feature the first flight of SpaceX’s new Extravehicular Activity (EVA) suits. These EVA suits are designed to protect astronauts from the harsh environment of space while also incorporating advanced technology. While they may look similar to standard flight suits, they are specifically designed for different use cases. The suits feature flame-resistant material, a spiral zipper design, and the ability to accommodate various body sizes. They will be pressurized to 5.1…

FLiRT COVID-19 Variants KP.1.1 and KP.2 Spreading in the U.S. As COVID-19 continues to evolve, new variants are emerging, with FLiRT variants KP.1.1 and KP.2 now spreading in the United States. These variants, which are descendants of the JN.1 variant and part of the Omicron family, are causing concern among health officials due to their potential impact on vaccine effectiveness. Studies have suggested that the current COVID vaccine may not provide as much protection against KP.1.1 and KP.2 as against previous variants. KP.2, in particular, is now the dominant variant in the U.S. and accounts for nearly 25% of cases.…
