Aberting in Spain has become a real odyssey based on the province. So the government has launched a website

by

Spain has an advanced law in abortion, with deadlines until week 14 and assumptions extended until 22. The difficult thing is to take it to the real field. Access depends on the Autonomous Community, the degree of involvement of public health and, too many times, on the economic capacity of women. While the law ensures universal coverage, many interventions are carried out in private and not a few women are forced to move. In that context it is born I want to go .orga portal that aims to become a compass in front of a system that, despite legal reforms, continues to raise obstacles on a day -to -day basis. A new release. The Ministries of Health and Equality have launched a website, presented at the act for the 40 years of the legalization of abortion. The portal offers what the government calls a “safe public space”, designed to guide women in a system that still varies a lot from one autonomous community to another. The platform It has been elaborated For health health health and activists, it is based on scientific evidence and guidelines of organizations such as WHO, Figo, Fiapac or Sego, and has the accreditation of the College of Physicians of Barcelona. It is not just an informative portal, what it seeks is to offer practical guidance, accompaniment and concrete resources. Therefore, the website includes a WhatsApp number attended by professionals from Monday to Friday, as well as a telephone line available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, managed by formed volunteers. In addition, it will have a legal, emotional and technical support service for women who need to interrupt their pregnancy beyond week 22. The law vs. reality. Spain opened the door to abortion In 1985, although in a very restricted way: only in three assumptions priced by law. The great transformation came in 2010, with A BADE LAW which the decision of women recognized for the first time as sufficient reason until week 14. The norm also contemplated interruptions until Week 22 in medical cases. The last reform arrived in 2023where the three -day reflection period was abolished, the autonomy of children under 16 and 17 years was recognized without the need for paternal permission and the obligation to create a record of objectors of consciousness was established. The latter was carried out so that public health was not overflowed or blocked by the refusal of professionals. In August 2024, only five communities had launched the registration of conscientious objectors – La Rioja, Murcia, Cantabria, Catalonia and the Canary Islands—, According to data cited by the country. The lack of this instrument in the rest generates an unequal application of the law and keeps many women dependent on private clinics or transfers to other provinces. Besides, As Efe points outallegations of harassment persist at the gates of clinics and bureaucratic delays in the procedure. A fragmented map. The Ministry of Health has published that in 2024 106,172 voluntary interruptions of pregnancy (IVE) were recorded, which is equivalent to a rate of 12.36 per 1,000 women between 15 and 44 years. The figure reflects a slight increase Regarding 2023. According to the data, the general photo reveals an obvious gap: almost eight out of ten abortions (78.7%) were carried out in private clinics, while public health assumed only 21.2% of the total. Hence, the website has been launched, designed to overcome the territorial differences that continue to mark real access to abortion. In territories such as Cantabria, more than 88% of IVE are carried out in public hospitals, while in La Rioja and Navarra the proportion exceeds 75%. In Galicia, three out of four abortions are practiced in the public network. The distribution of abortions in Spain reflects unequal access to the public system. In Madrid, more than 162,000 women interrupted their pregnancy in the last decade, but only 177 could do so in a public hospital. In other territories, such as Extremadura, Ceuta and Melilla, official data are even more sharp: not a single procedure was carried out in public health. And in communities such as Aragon, Asturias, Castilla-La Mancha, Murcia, Andalusia or the Basque Country, the proportion did not exceed 5%. This territorial disparity reveals the almost absolute dependence of the private network in much of the country. Critical voices. During the act on the occasion of the 40 years of legalization, activists such as Silvia Aldavert, from the I want to abort, They denounced that many autonomies They interpret the legal deadlines in a restrictive way: “When the law speaks of 14 weeks, it must be 14 + 6 days. In many communities it is interpreted as 14 exact, not one more day.” Minister Ana Redondo He stressed That 80% of IVE are carried out in private clinics, which “violates the principle of territorial equality” and converts abortion into “a class issue.” The cost of moving hundreds of kilometers, asking for free days at work or paying a private clinic makes the difference between being able to exercise the right in decent conditions or not. The testimonies confirm it. The case of Marta Vigara, a woman who was denied a therapeutic interruption in Madrid, uncovered that in some public hospitals There were hardly any abortions and that the usual solution was to refer to the private one. There is also the testimony collected by Newtral De Laura Gil, who had to travel to Brussels to interrupt her 31 weeks pregnancy before the refusal of Spanish clinical committees, an example of how economic capacity acts as a filter. The investigation points to two key factors: systematic outsourcing to private clinics and the objection of consciousness applied collectively, despite the fact that the law establishes that it must be individual and in writing. Conscientious objection as wall. The right of professionals to object is still one of the main pitfalls. “You cannot sacrifice a fundamental right of women at the expense of conscientious objection,” Minister Ana Redondo warnedremembering that the Article 139.1 of the Constitution … Read more

Your whole at 100 to compete with Temu is already here

Almost a year after his birth, Amazon Haul It arrives in Spain. Haul is an online store with a simple rule: all products cost less than twenty euros. In fact, most are below ten. Why is it important. Amazon enters, now also in Spain, in a market that have dominated Chinese competitors such as Shein, Temu and Aliexpress. These platforms have conquered millions of Spaniards selling fashion, electronics and accessories at unbeatable prices. And now Amazon wants to replicate that model, but with its own logistics and guarantees, in addition to the persuasion of maintaining its brand. The context. Haul started in November 2024 in the United States. It also has a presence in other markets, such as Germany and the United Kingdom. There the reception has been positive, according to the company, and now lands in Spain with three tens of product categories: fashion, home, accessories … Customers can access Haul From the web and from the Amazon application. Just look for ‘Haul’ or locate it in the menu. Once inside, experience is something different from that of traditional Amazon: it has its own cart, search and payment process. In figures: Free shipping in orders of at least 15 euros. If the order is below, 3.5 euros of standard rate are added. And Amazon applies staggered discounts: 5% discount on purchases of more than 30 euros. 10% discount on orders greater than 50 euros. Yes, but. Delivery deadlines are longer than in the conventional Amazon. Orders arrive in “two weeks or less”, a margin that moves away from the first standard but that remains competitive against Aliexpress or Temu. In addition, Amazon has not announced specific advantages for prime customers in Haul. The two businesses work separately and orders are managed independently. The big question. Can Amazon unseat Asian giants on their own land? The company is committed to its strongest letter: trust. All products pass Amazon verifications and comply with European regulations. Returns are free for 15 days and it is not necessary to print labels or package anything. Just take the product to an authorized point of Celeritas or Seur, as Amazon has been applying. Deepen. Amazon’s strategy is to differentiate itself in verifications and logistics. Shein specializes in fashion and accessories. Temu and Aliexpress bet on a general offer. Haul is closer to the latter, although he also competes directly with Shein in some categories. The objective is clear: that users fill the cart with several articles taking advantage of the staggered discounts, replicating the model that has made Temu popular.

Change Earth’s rotation

by

The dams are colossal engineering works that provide numerous benefits to the surrounding cities, such as energy and flood protection. However, They are often accompanied by national and international controversies. And no dam has acquired both renown (and controversial) and the Chinese dam of The three throatsone of the most titanic construction projects on the planet and the largest hydroelectric dam. Its connected reservoir is capable of containing a volume of water so large that the rotation of the Earth has changed, extending the duration of the day by 0.06 microseconds. The three throats. Built along the Yangtze River in the province of Hubei, it was planned in 1919 by the first president of the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen, as a measure to control the floods of the river and generate energy. But, above all, to become a symbol of China’s power. Although its construction would not begin until December 1994 and would be put into operation in 2009. It has more than 2 kilometers long and 182 meters high. When it is at its maximum point, can contain 42,000 million tons of water. Suffice it to say that 510,000 tons of steel were needed to build it, which would be needed to erect 60 Eiffel towers. What is it for? It has three objectives: flood control, hydroelectric energy production and improve navigation. Keep in mind that the three throats generates today 11 times more energy than the gigantic hoover preythe world’s largest power plant with 22,500 MW. And through 34 huge generators, supports a large part of the Chinese nation. Besides, Helps keep the Yangze River at baythe longest third in the world, during the flood season protecting adjacent cities such as Wuhan, Nanjing and Shanghai. It has slowed the rotation of the Earth. However, there is a price to pay to store so much water. Once the dam reservoir, the weight of the dough, which is more than 39 billion kilos, It is enough to slightly change the rotation of the earth. As? The inertia of the earth depends on its mass (water) and the distribution of that mass with respect to the axis of rotation. The axis of the Earth It is an imaginary pole that crosses the center of the earth from “up” to “down.” The earth revolves around this pole and performs a complete rotation every day. But as the dough is redistributed on the planet, This change slightly alters rotation. And the greater the distance of a mass (relocation of the water from other areas to the Chinese reservoir) to its axis of rotation, the slower it will turn, therefore It affects the duration of earth days. To understand the phenomenon, it is only necessary to visualize the turn movement of an ice skater: if its mass is uniformly distributed (for example, collecting their arms towards the body), it will turn better and faster after a few laps. If the dough changes, rotation and turn also change. The result. That means that raising 39 billion kilograms of water at 175 meters above sea level increases the inertia of the earth and, therefore, slows its rotation. However, according to NASA, the impact is minimal. His scientists calculated That the change of such mass increases the duration of the day by just 0.06 microseconds and makes the earth just a little more round in the center and flatter in the upper part. It has passed other times. In fact, hundreds of phenomena that alter that movement are produced every year. He tsunami that hit the Southeast Asia in 2004 or the 2010 Chilean earthquake They also affected the rotation of the planet. NASA then confirmed that the 2004 Indonesian earthquake had decreased the duration of the day by 2.68 microseconds. What affects us? Nothing. Although it sounds very shocking, the reality is that we will not notice any change. Miguel Sevilla, deputy director of the Institute of Astronomy and Geodesia, He defended years ago in this information article That these phenomena “have no greater significance, apart from the large material and human damage they cause.” Although they serve to warn us of “the effects they have on people, buildings and in nature.” Other controversies that do matter. In fact, beyond how this Chinese dam affects the rotation of the earth, the project has been plagued with other controversies that do significantly affect the life of humans and ecosystems. One of them is the amount of damage that causes the environment. It is estimated that 70% of China’s fresh water is contaminated and The dam could be worsening the situationsince it is based on old waste and mining operations facilities. Every year 265 million gallons of wastewater are deposited without treating on the Yangtze River. On the other hand, when the project was built, 1.2 million people were forced to relocate In new homes. And currently, the Chinese government is still migrating people out of the area.

The F-47 will not only be the most advanced hunt in the US. The filtration of his badge has revealed which country aims

by

Last March was the closest thing to winning the lottery in the Boeing headquarters. After spending tremendously complicated years, the United States gave him air with the contract contract: The future F-47aspiring to replace F-22 and overcome it in everything to become the New armed arm of the nation. Several months have passed since then, and now the badge that will accompany the standard of American combat fighters has been leaked. There are not many doubts about the enemy. An emblem under construction. The Network appearance of a patch with the Registration “F-47 SMO” and the central figure of a phoenix has revived speculation around the program of the sixth American generation hunting. The Air Force confirmed That the design was prepared within the F-47 system management office, although it has not yet been formalized and is in the development phase, that is, the final design may undergo some change. The patch includes several recurring elements of the military heraldry (golden deltas, red stars, books in Latin), but also, and perhaps the “nuclear”, more enigmatic symbols, such as silhouette From the Chinese oriental coastthat suggest the strategic orientation of the project towards an eventual confrontation with Beijing in the Pacific. The motto “SUPERAMUS PERSAMUS LETAMUS” (“We defeat, persevere, rejoice”), inherited from previous initiatives of the NGAD programreinforces the idea of ​​continuity of an effort that was close to canceling and that, like the mythical bird, seems to resurface from its ashes. Program symbol. The central reason for the phoenix, or Firebird, is especially significant in the trajectory of F-47. Before administration Trump will rescue himthe NGAD was about to be sacrificed to other budgetary priorities. Hence, the metaphor of the Renaissance charges strength: an immortal project that, despite political doubts, resurfaces with renewed vigor to become the pillar of US air superiority in the coming decades. The reference to the phoenix also evokes the duality of the “Firebird” Eslavacapable of being blessing or cursewhich reflects the enormous technological and financial commitment that the program implies. Although unlikely as an official name, the nickname could be popular in the same way as The A-10 It is known as “Warthog” and not for its formal denomination, Thunderbolt II. Cryptic details Beyond the phoenix, the patch accumulates symbols with open interpretations. The three yellow deltas remember the used In previous badges of the Agile Development Office, linked to the NGAD since 2019, and could refer to the competition between Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, from which it finally emerged Boeing winner. The six red stars Evoke to the Test Center Groom Lake ultrasecreto, known as area 51where NGAD prototypes were tested. With fewer doubts that white silhouette appears, with the profile of the Chinese coast, and which fits with the role assigned to F-47 as a spearhead to penetrate the EPL anti-aircraft systems in an eventual conflict. The acronym “FBC”, without official explanation, adds one more degree of mystery to the whole. History and nomenclature. The number 47 pays tribute to both the legendary P-47 Thunderbolt of World War II as a year of Foundation of the Air Force in 1947, in addition to coinciding with the presidential numbering of Trump, decisive in the relaunch of the program. The history of US military aviation offers precedents in which unofficial names surpassed the formal: the A-10, officially Thunderbolt II, is universally known as Warthog. Perhaps for this reason, in the future, the F-47 could maintain the Thunderbolt tradition, released after the withdrawal of the A-10, or adopt an alternative nickname like Phoenix, although the denomination is already reserved for Another navy plane. Projections and context. The F-47 will be the nucleus of the United States air projection capacity on the horizon of mid-century, conceived not only as a combat plane, but as part of A system system which will include accompanying drones and emerging technologies. Boeing already works on the first specimens, with an inaugural flight planned for 2028although the entry into operational service remains uncertain. Your essential mission will be drilling The denial bubbles of area (A2/AD) of the adversary and ensure the air advantage in high intensity scenarios in front of China. The aesthetics of the patch, which, as we said, is still provisional and can undergo changes, therefore works as a symbolic window to the “nuclear” mission and the narrative that the Air Force wants to build around its most ambitious air project since The F-22.

The US has just given air with the contract that can mark his return: that of the new F-47 In Xataka | Boeing F-47 images reveal that it will not be as “furtive” as expected.

more than 2,000 euros for each console generation and with nothing in property

by

Game Pass The price of your Tier More expensiveand not a pinch: an entire 50% that will apply to the Ultimate rate, a spectacular rise from 17.99 to 26.99 that is added to the one we already lived in July 2024, where 14.9 went to a still discreet 17.99 euros per month. A decision that puts on the table Not just an economic issuebut it forces the player to reflect on the nature of the service and what he obtains in exchange for the rate. Everything, nothing. It is an access system to games that We have completely naturalized to the point of turning it into a fee that governs the rest (PlayStation Plusfor example, it is “Sony’s game passs”). But it is amazing how we have become accustomed, over time, to His indisputable sticksvery visible, go unnoticed. That could change with this notorious price increase. The first thing is first. In spring this year It was already very clear that Microsoft’s main business was to make games to get in Game Pass. For a couple of seasons the company was already completely open to the idea that Xbox consoles are not necessary, but that it can be played with the platform titles on any screen with screen, thanks to the cloud. It was at that time where, in addition, we saw something unusual: Microsoft had become the main PlayStation editor, thanks to the success of games such as ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’, ‘Minecraft’ E ‘Indiana Jones and the big circle’. There is no doubt: the least in Microsoft is their own consoles. We can play when, where and as we want. It is an idea that has a clear dark reverse: we have nothing in property, we are only renting a service. And the accounts are increasingly uphill: if each console generation lasts seven years, and we opt for the ultimate option of the service, we will have spent more than 2,200 euros to play. Strictly in playing, but not in a console and games that we can, for example, resell to cover future expenses. We are paying a money for nothing tangible in return, a drama that we already know well about the streamingbut somehow, he felt different when we had a very visible console next to the TV. Too cheap to be true. The funny thing is that the general sensation, As my partner Álex Alcolea saysis that Game Pass was “too cheap”: offer front -row games like ‘Silksong‘ either ‘Clair Oscur: Expedition 33‘(more everything that Microsoft studies develop) from day one was a bet that sounded very well for the player, but than made more than one analyst scratch the head: Was it economically sustainable in time? The purchase of activation by 68.7 billion dollars He only adds doubts to the subject: Game Pass smelled too much of a bargain. Taking ball. Microsoft has been trying to overcome its competitors for a while with an economic muscle’s blow: the purchase of Bethesda and Activision, the very affordable prices of Game Pass -rebosante for years of an indisputable attraction, between set in streaming and important releases on a day one- and survival without apparent problems to the Sales fall of Xbox Series. But all that seems to begin to change, and the price increase of Game Pass seems to sound at the beginning of the change: will we see up in the other rates? Will Microsoft definitely claudicate to have exclusive one in your service? Will there be more Xbox consoles? At the moment, we all have to undertake a considerable reflection on how much and why we are willing to spend. Header | Microsoft In Xataka | The portable Xbox is finally a reality.

Renfe has proposed to improve once and for all vicinity. And Madrid will take a pinch of 400 million euros

by

The vicinity service in Madrid is having a performance, according to Renfe, of “positive” but it is very likely that if you ask travelers who take this service daily give you a different answer. To launch this assessment, the company is based on the fact that the 85.3% of the services provided In the Community of Madrid they arrive on time. And to maintain this valuation, more than 400 million euros will be invested. Assiduous incidents. Despite what Renfe says, the truth is that the incidents in Madrid trains are usual. Although generalized incidents are lower and are a few minutes of waiting, it is not uncommon for situations such as last July in which All lines were affected either delays that are especially complicated Now that the city is full of works. In fact, criticisms have long been part of the Madrid political debate. The Government of Spain has taken advantage of subway delays repeatedly for CRiticate to local entities and These have returned the ball Remembering that the city suffers from nearbyver breakdowns, which are the competence of the government. A patch that exceeds 400 million euros. In two games that will break that figure. First, Renfe has tendered a contest for a new maintenance contract for interurban trains for the next three years. This contest has 61.5 million euros assigned in the case of Madrid (Catalonia, Galicia, Andalusia, Extremadura, Aragon and Castilla y León also have their own lots). But, in addition, the 2025-2030 Industrial Installations Plan has been launched, which is assigned a game of 350 million euros in the case of Madrid. That is, in total it is planned to spend about 411.5 million euros in the near Madrid. Trains maintenance. In The Spanish newspaper They point out that the game of 61.5 million euros is dedicated exclusively to the maintenance of 82 trains of the 465 series that will be reduced to the 60 vehicles. This maintenance will be carried out at the base of Madrid Atocha. This investment is part of the 485 million euros that this year has confirmed Renfe for the maintenance of this type of trains throughout Spain. In total, there are 430 trains (a fleet in which there are also medium distance trains) that will gradually be renewed because they are at the end of their useful life. In Madrid there will be 22 who should get out of circulation. The Industrial Facilities Plan 2025-2030. This project is focused on improving the maintenance capacity of the rail network, as well as adapting the rolling material and, above all, to improve operational efficiency so that trains find unforeseen lower. Those 350 million euros are part of A package of up to 1 billion euros that will be distributed throughout Spain. The new trains that are going to reach the fleet forces to renew the existing facilities and the material so they are going to create new maintenance bases (Aranjuez, Alcalá de Henares, Móstoles-El Soto and Vicálvaro in Madrid). The new trains. The reduction in the fleet of the 465 series of the trains that Renfe has available is included in A much greater game that the company is dedicating to improve and renew the fleet and facilities throughout Spain. The plan began in 2020 and has been receiving various backs. The new trains will be manufactured by Alstom, Stadler and CAF and some of them are already testing. The renewal of more than 400 trains comes after 15 years of drought in which Renfe has not bought any train to renew the fleet. Of course, it has been sold that the new vehicles will have more and better sensor -based systems to monitor the components more closely and advance the possible breakdowns, taking out the trains of the circulation for their maintenance before the failure occurs.

It reaches almost 10% of the market when Microsoft prepares to retire Windows 10

by

Microsoft prepares to close the Windows 10 cycle. On October 14, 2025 will stop receiving security updatesa decision that places Millions of teams In a vulnerable scenario. Without those patches, any discovered failure could be exploited, something that worries both in the domestic and business. We do not talk about a minor recommendation, but about a change that affects the installed base of more numerous computers on the planet. The movement has put many users in the face of a complex dilemma. Migrate to Windows 11 It seems the logical path, but it is not always possible without going through the box. The system requires hardware compatible with technologies such as TPM 2.0 and a generation of relatively modern processors. Those who do not meet these criteria are forced to maintain Windows 10 No support or directly renew your PC, Although in some Microsoft markets have enabled exceptions that allow to extend one more year the reception of updates if certain conditions are met. What is happening with Windows 7 in the middle of 2025 September 2025 He brought an unexpected surprise. According to Statcounter records, Windows 10 decreased to 40.5% of the market, its lowest level since November 2017. At the same time, Windows 11 was headed with 48.9%confirming that the generational relief is underway. So far, evolution seems logical, except for a detail that especially caught attention. That detail is Windows 7. The system that was left without support in 2020 and that he even saw his update program extended in 2023 reappeared strongly. In a matter of weeks, it went from fees close to 3% to register 9.61% in September. The magnitude of the jump makes it difficult to imagine mass migrations towards such an old software, but the numbers are there. Before drawing precipitated conclusions, remember how these statistics are built. Statcounter does not access the Microsoft telemetrythe only one capable of offering exact figures. Your methodology is based In a code installed by more than 1.5 million web pages distributed throughout the world. Each visit counts which operating and browser system has been used, so that the percentages result from millions of daily interactions with third -party sites. This is an approach offers a very wide sample, but it is still a sampling. Statcounter ensures that it eliminates bots traffic and adjusts certain technical parameters such as Chrome pre -demand. The September graph leaves an obvious unknown. Windows 7 suddenly appears with a weight that I did not have in the previous months, which breaks the descending trajectory that It seemed definitive. What is behind that change? With the information available, it should only be recognized that there is no clear response and that any attempt of explanation would be speculative. The transition to Windows 11 is marked by security, and in that field the nuances matter. Microsoft repeats that maintaining a system without support is an exhibition, although it is also aware that the change is not always immediate. Therefore, together with the announcement of the end of Windows 10, it introduced mechanisms to give users a margin. Consequently, two ways have been established. For domestic users, At least in the European Unionthere is the possibility of receiving for a year more security updates when associating the equipment With a Microsoft account. Both in the particular and business field, the option of subscribing to the program of Extended security updateswhich guarantees up to three additional years of patches. These measures do not change the final horizon, but allow migration to a supported version. Ultimately, it is the users themselves who must assess what to do with their teams. Some will stretch Windows 10 as long as that extension lasts, others will make the leap to Windows 11 and there will be those who even consider alternatives outside the Microsoft ecosystem. Statistics offer a global photograph, but each case has its own nuances. The question is open: how will you manage the end of Windows 10?

Chinese astronauts have spent six hours reinforcing tiangong against an increasingly dangerous enemy: space garbage

by

The night in orbit just leaves truce. In low orbit, the Tiangong Space Station It becomes the scene of a constant activity that requires millimeter precision. In the last extravehicular exitChinese astronauts had to face a challenge that does not come from technical failures or scientific experiments, but from a silent enemy that multiplies the risks of each mission: the Space garbage which accumulates in the low terrestrial orbit and threatens to hit the structure of the complex. The schedule of China’s manned flight agency places the start of extravehicular activity on September 25 at 19:45 (Beijing time), with Wang Jie as the first astronaut to leave the Wentian module. It was followed shortly after Chen Zhongrui, in charge of attending the installation of the equipment. Chen Dong, from inside Tiangong, managed communications with the control center and supported his teammates throughout the maneuver. The walk concluded at dawn, at 1:35 of September 26, when the two crew closed the hatch after completing the planned agenda. The maneuver was carried out with support from the robotic arm of the station and the team on land. Sludes against fragments: Tiangong’s strategy to resist in space During the walk, the main objective was to install a protection device against Orbital fragmentsdesigned to reinforce the most exposed areas of the station. The operation also included the review of the state of external equipment and structures, with special attention to the systems that suffer greater wear due to continuous exposure to the spatial environment. According to those responsible for the programthis combination of installation and maintenance seeks to ensure that Tiangong maintains its operational capacity in the middle of an increasingly saturated environment of remains. The increase in spatial garbage in the low orbit is one of the factors that most worries agencies in recent years. Each launch adds fragments that, although small, reach speeds that multiply their damage. For China, reinforcing Tiangong does not respond to a specific incident, but to the need to get ahead of an increasingly complex scenario. China is not the only one that has had to reinforce its station in the face of the threat of orbital fragments. The International Space Station Specific armor systems for years have beenknown as anti-mmod shields, which protect their habitable modules from impacts from Micrometeoritos and space garbage. The difference is in the context: it is an infrastructure with more than two decades of service, which has needed to adapt continuously to an increasingly congested environment. In the ISS, this philosophy materializes in shields in Whipple and Stupfed Whipple layers, with several hundred shields distributed in critical areas. The comparison between Tiangong and the International Space Station helps to understand the scope of its protection systems. The Chinese station completed its construction in 2022 with a T configuration formed by the Tianhe, Wentian and Mengtian modules. The ISS, on the other hand, began to assemble in 1998 and ended its main segment in 2011, with a much broader and more complex structure. This difference in dimensions and seniority explains why its shields follow different logics: ISS combines protections included from its design with reinforcements added over the years, while Tiangong integrates solutions designed from the beginning for a more congested environment. The closure of this extravehicular activity does not imply a break, but the beginning of a new stage for the Shenzhou-20 mission. The three astronauts They will continue with numerous scientific experiments and technological tests, in addition to participating in on -board celebrations linked to the Chinese calendar. The installation of additional shields has a clear objective: to hold over time the crew safety and the integrity of Tiangong, which aspires to consolidate as a stable basis for space research in the midst of a more demanding orbital environment.

Some old planes end in museums. These are auctioned from $ 25 for non -payment rental

A plane is, above all, the reflection of human ingenuity. The history of aviation shows to what extent progress is relentless: models that just a few years ago seemed irreplaceable today they have no place in the skies. Each device runs a different destination. Some are restored and displayed As heritage pieces, others are dismantled to serve as a source of spare parts and many remain aligned in silent cemeteries where they expect a second chance. There, among rows of immobile fuselage, it is decided whether its future will be the scrap, an unexpected museum or project. In the county of Big Hornin Wyoming, United States, the history of forgotten airplanes has taken an unexpected course. Local authorities have put historical aircraft auction that remained stored in the Graybull airfield. The process does not arise from a cultural initiative or a preservation project, but from a litigation that faced the landlord with the county itself. After years of disputes and appeals, it was the Supreme Court of Wyoming who finally gave the green light for sale. A special auction for aviation lovers The aircraft that have come to auction are units built in the middle of World War II and during the Cold War, and As Paul Thur explained to Cowboy State Daily, They are not in a position to fly And they have very different degrees of deterioration: some remain complete, while others barely retain the fuselage. These are goods in different phases of scrapping, with pieces that have been extracted for decades to keep other devices in service. The origin of the auction dates back to a prolonged conflict with Harold Sheppard, lessee of the land where the planes were stored. For years he stopped paying the rent at Big Horn County and refused to withdraw the aircraft when required. In April 2021, local authorities imposed a storage tax worth $ 543,600, which began a legal battle. The case climbed to the Supreme Court of Wyoming, which in March resolved in favor of the county and allowed to have aircraft as their own assets. The sale is being carried out Through the Public Surplus portala website specialized in public auctions. In the listings, some aircraft start at $ 25 and it is noted that “As is” are deliveredwithout any guarantee. The buyer not only acquires the fuselage, but also what there is inside, from original instruments to scrap remains. The standard is clear: there will be no assistance for disassembly or transfer, and each winner must organize its own logistics and remove the aircraft within a maximum period of 90 days. The future of auctioned airplanes will depend largely on who acquires them. For many buyers, the main interest will be to disassemble and recover pieces with value in the spare parts market. However, there are precedents that show that they can also become surprising projects. In Indonesia, A Boeing 737 ended up being a luxury house In Bali, while in Oregon An individual installed a Boeing 727 in the middle of the forest and made him his residence. Examples that underline to what extent a plane can continue to tell stories even when it does not take off again. Exit prices start from 25 dollars, but logistics costs trigger the invoice. After winning the bid, each buyer must take care of the disassembly, load and transport of the aircraft. That implies going with specialized equipment, own tools and Enough laborin addition to hiring road transfer in oversized vehicles. To this are added circulation permits and storage expenses, which raise the invoice well above the initial price. In practice, acquiring one of these planes is a disbursement comparable to that of a large logistics project, rather than that of a simple collection curiosity. The old planes are part of the daily landscape in Graybull and their possible withdrawal has aroused comments between neighbors and visitors. Some fear that the airfield will lose one of its most unique features, a visible fuselage cemetery from the road. However, local authorities have clarified that the auction only affects one part of the collection: the other remains under control of B&G Industries, which maintains its maintenance and manufacturing activity. The identity of the place will not be completely erased, although it will inevitably be reduced. The auction will conclude on Friday, October 3 and, except surprise, most aircraft will end up dismantled, more valuable as pieces than as a whole. For Big Horn County, the result is double: recover part of the accumulated costs and reinforce the airport box With leftover funds. For buyers, on the other hand, the prize will be a cluster of historical remains that can be used for scrap, private collections or creative projects. In any case, it will be the last symbolic flight of aircraft that marked time. Images | Paul Thur/Public Surplus In Xataka | Airlines have invested millions in entertainment.
