The continent will begin to form a near-Earth asteroid defense system
According to CCTV news, the mainland will build a perfect near-Earth asteroid monitoring and early warning system to make better use of space space and ensure the safe, stable, and orderly operation of spacecraft in space.
The impact of a near-Earth asteroid on the earth will bring great disasters to the safety of the earth, including possible earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, leading to global climate and environmental catastrophes, and even causing global biological extinction and the disappearance of civilizations.
In this regard, Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the China National Space Administration, said:
In the next five years, the mainland will build a near-Earth asteroid impact risk response system to contribute Chinese wisdom to the future of mankind's real response to the threat of extraterrestrial objects to the earth.
Wu Yanhua revealed that the mainland strives to implement a near-range observation and near-site impact on a threatening near-Earth asteroid at the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, or in 2025 and 2026, and try to change its orbit with technology.
Musk claims that brain-computer interface technology can treat obesity
Musk said in an interview with TED that his brain-computer interface startup Neuralink is on track to address brain and spine injuries within a decade.
He also said Neuralink's technology could even address health problems such as morbid obesity.
Neuralink aims to develop a brain-computer interface system that enables computers or other digital devices to communicate directly with the brain.
Inserting micron-sized wires into the patient's brain region as nerve implants can read and stimulate brain activity.
Andrew Jackson, a neurointerfacient expert at Newcastle University, believes that while the idea is far-fetched and has not yet been scientifically proven, the use of brain implants to treat morbid obesity is less invasive than other treatments and currently appears to be feasible.

In response, game developer Robert Kabwe criticized that the App Store's crackdown on older apps could make some developers (in order to force the update) feel difficult, especially those with indie game studios.
