0.2 g/l in blood and fines of 1,000 euros

by

Congress has taken a key step to harden alcohol restrictions at the wheel in Spain. The lower house has taken into consideration A proposition of the law of the PSOE not only reduce the maximum alcohol rate in blood at 0.2 g/l but also prohibit the dissemination of police controls on social networks. The text has advanced with a single vote against Vox and the abstention of the PP. The current limits in Spain. The breathalyzer rate measures the blood alcohol level and is expressed in grams per liter of blood (g/l) or in milligrams per liter of exhaled air (mg/l). According to the DGTthe current legal limit is 0.5 g/l in blood and 0.25 mg/l in exhaled air for drivers in general. However, novels and professionals have more severe restrictions: 0.3 g/l in blood and 0.15 mg/l in exhaled air. What does the initiative say. The proposition of the PSOE unifies rates for all drivers, regardless of their age or permission. Thus, consider as severe infraction driving with alcohol rates greater than 0.2 g/l in blood or 0.1 mg/l in exhaled air. These are “some measures whose objective is to ‘put a brake’ to a dramatic reality that, year after year, leaves behind a trail of avoidable deaths,” The parliamentary group has said. The text establishes The following infractions scheme points that “the infractions provided for in article 77c) when the alcohol rate exceeds 0.5 milligrams per liter of exhaled air or 1 grams per liter in blood, yd) will be sanctioned with a fine of 1,000 euros”. Driving with an alcohol rate greater than 0.1 to 0.25 mg/0.2 to 0.5 g/l: Loss of 2 points of the card. Driving with an alcohol rate greater than 0.25 to 0.50 mg/0.5 up to 1.0 g/l: loss of 4 points of the card. Driving with an alcohol rate greater than 0.5 mg/lo 1.0 g/l: loss of 6 points of the card. With the proposed limit, a beer could already mark positive. The Ministry of Health points out that the liver can only metabolize 0.12 g/l of blood alcohol every hour. Therefore, if the new limits are applied, drinking a third of beer could cause an breathalyzer control to be overcome if the necessary time of metabolization has not passed, which is usually 1 hour and 45 minutes in men and 2 hours and 50 minutes in women. What do studies say? The promoters of the proposition have provided data from the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences. According to the agency, 33% of the drivers who died in traffic accidents had alcohol in blood. Also 29% of pedestrians who died on Spanish roads had consumed alcohol or drugs. In addition, the State Attorney General’s Office indicates that in 2023 more than 50,000 criminal convictions were registered for driving with an alcohol rate higher than permitted. But there is more. As we indicated above, it is also sought to prohibit the dissemination of the location of alcohol and drug controls in social networks. In this case, the objective is to prevent mobiles from being used “as an instrument to protect the impunity of a minority of dangerous and contumaces.” It is a problem that has been staging for some time and has become a true headache for the DGT. The process is still underway. Taking into consideration of the proposition of the PSOE law is an advance, but does not mean its approval. We will have to wait for the next plenary to know if the reduction of the alcohol rate will obtain its definitive ratification.

Argentina fought the British missiles with a paste machine

by

Battles and wars always leave winners and defeated, but in some cases they occur Unexpected surprises due to the apparent advantage of some and the surprising outcome with the victory of the other. There are stories like the The Invasion of the United Kingdom trying to conquer Tenerife without knowing what was inside. The one that occurred in Malvinas had the expected endbut what nobody could imagine is what Argentina was going to defend. An unequal war. The FALVINAS WAR (1982) faced the Argentine Air Force (FAA) against the United Kingdom in a conflict where British technological superiority It was more than evident. While Be British Harrier They had advanced radars and missiles AIM-9 SidewinderArgentine airplanes lacked radar alert systems and electronic countermeasures. Moreover, the A-4 Skyhawk, Mirage III, Dagger and Canberra they operated without self -defense systems against radar -guided missiles, such as the Be dartlaunched from British destroyers. The pilot Pablo Carballo, veteran of Malvinas, He explained years later To a United States Air Force officer that Argentine pilots were not afraid when a radar alert receptor was activated because their planes simply did not have one. That lack of equipment left FAA with a single option: resort to ingenuity to create its own countermeasures. Electronic countermeasures. The so -called Like Chaffused from World War II, consists of metal strips that enemy radars saturate With false signals. It would be something like the measures/lures against electronic of our time. Plus: Argentina had detailed information about British radars, since the Navy operated two Type 42 destroyersHMS Sheffield twins. With a “but”: the FAA did not have an industry developed to produce large -scale Chaff, so they turned to the most improvised media. Be British Harrier The secret is in the pasta. The first production attempts began in the Military Air Base (BAM) Comodoro Rivadavia In May 1982. By not having specialized equipment, a group of officers devised a rudimentary method: Students recruited from the province of Entre Ríos to cut hand -to -cut strips. The problem? Production was insufficient. As they counted In The War Zoneit was then that a technical noncommissioned officer proposed an unusual solution: use a Industrial Machine for Pasta and noodles. That machine, borrowed from the Napoli pasta factory, had blades of the exact size to cut the aluminum strips efficiently. Thus, the team worked 24 hours a day for a week to make enough Chaff that could be used in combat. Deployment and difficulties. With the insured production, methods to launch the chaff were improvised from the airplanes. In it Mirage III and Dagger rolled chaff strips in packages wrapped in toilet paper and adhesive tape, which then They placed in the aerofrenos of the airplanes. This had a problem: the pilots opened the aerofrenos during the flight to maneuver, which could make the Chaff disperse before being useful. For The C-130 HerculesChaff was placed in bags tied with three -meter strings, which were thrown manually from the rear doors to create an interference curtain against enemy radars. Finally, with the Canberra MK 62 It was with the only unit that a partially successful system was used. Seven pitchers were installed in the back, with cartridges containing Chaff and Bengals. A Douglas A-4 Skyhawk of the Argentine Air Force in 1982 The “D” day. Thus, on June 2, 1982, the system was approved in a A-4C Skyhawk with launches from different altitudes, although No effective results were achieved. Other attempts included the use of FFAR rockets to disperse Chaff and the modification of Shafrir Missiles 2although none was really viable. Use in combat. On May 1, 1982, during a mission of bombing on the British forces, three Canberra MK 62 took from Trelew with the Chaff system and flares. The pilot Eduardo García Puebla reported how He managed to avoid Two missiles AIM-9L Sidewinder launched by a Sea Harrier thanks to the use of the improvised system. However, another Canberra failed to activate his flares and was shot down by a British missile. Days later, another Canberra was destroyed by a missile Be dart of HMS Cardiff without even having deployed Chaff. It is not clear if the countermeasures were really effective in some other episode, mainly because the British reports did not mention deviated missiles by these techniques (and it is very possible that they did not even know). The legacy. The end of the contest It is known (Although never It has ended at all). After 74 days of battle certainly unequal, the United Kingdom recovered the Falkland Islands. The conflict ended exactly on June 14, 1982 with Argentine surrender. However, FAA’s attempt to use chaff manufactured by hand With a pasta machine It is a testimony of ingenuity and determination in conditions of technological inferiority. Although the system had rather limited results, it demonstrates how in war the resources available can become improvised solutions. For the history of the contests, the only known conflict where a pasta machine was part of the military countermeasures.

The art of knowing

by

It may seem obvious, but doing so is very unusual and usually has an unexpectedly positive response. Jobs learned it With 12 years, Altman cost a few more years. There are those who will never learn The art of knowing. HP? I need your help With only 12 years, Steve Jobs had nothing better to do with his free time than to build his own frequency counter. However, in 1967, the necessary components to build this device were not in any store and only had access to them the large technology companies. Far from throwing the towel due to the lack of pieces, the preteen Jobs had the audacity to call the office Bill Hewlett, Hewlett-Packard co-founder (HP), and directly ask for the components. As Steve Jobs himself remembered In an interview 1994, Bill Hewlett responded to his surprised call. “I said ‘Hello, my name is Steve Jobs, I am 12 years old, I study at the institute, I am doing a frequency meter and I am missing some pieces, and I wondered if you had plenty of spare parts that I could use,’ he laughed, he gave me the pieces and offered me a summer job mounting frequencimeters in the HP mounting chain. I was in paradise,” Jobs confessed in the video. This early experience not only provided Jobs experience and technical knowledge, he also confirmed that ask for things what do you need can take you to get them. “I never found anyone who didn’t want to help me if I asked for it,” Jobs recalled. Sam Altman’s secret: ask for what he needs Another example of success is Sam Altman, which after many years in the trench of the startups, began to create OpenAi. In his Interview for Bill Gates Podcast Unconfuse meAltman shared one of his most tips important to achieve success: “Ask for whatever you want.” Altman already shared this Council in his popular Decalogue for success “How to Be Successful” he published in 2019 in his personal blog. According to the founding millionaire of Openai, “you will not normally get it, often the rejection will be painful. But when this works, it does so surprisingly well,” he said. As Altman himself explained, the secret of this method is that it implies overcoming the fear of expressing your desires openly and directly for fear of rejection or seem insistent, thus self -limiting the success options. Why work for help Although it may seem simple, the disposition of Jobs and Altman to ask for help has psychological roots in which the belief of that oneself have to solve all your problems. A study From the University of Columbia, he studied this psychological block to ask for help, and the researchers concluded that people tend to underestimate the probability (50%) that others access their direct requests for help. Is what is known as Substimation bias. According to this study, help applicants tended to focus more on the instrumental costs of aid, that is, the effort that implies helping, without taking into account The social cost of refusing -the discomfort of saying “no” -, of the person who receives the petition. Social psychologist Heidi Grant Halvorsson, in her book ‘Reinforcements: How to get people to help you ‘He explains that a application for clear, specific help and does not put the other person in an awkward position is more likely to be successful. Wayne Baker research, a professor at the University of Michigan, suggests that between 75% and 90% of the aid provided in the work environment begins with a simple request and people who ask for help at work are seen as more competent, no less, as many believe. These people improve their skills and knowledge with what they learned from their classmates. “Most people are willing to even help strangers if they ask for it. The problem is that most people do not ask for what Professor Baker said in An interview for the podcast of Harvard Business Review. Amanda Palmer, author of ‘The art of asking‘, argued in his Ted Talk That we all have the right to ask for what we need. According to the singer and writer, denying someone that right can have negative consequences in their well -being and in their interpersonal relationships. Already be face to facethrough a phone call like Steve Jobs made to Bill Hewlett, an email or a crowdfunding campaign, the key is in overcome fear of rejection and dare to ask What you need.

That the DGT is going to fine you with 135 euros for driving only in your car sounds bad. The only problem is that it is false

by

It has become a small classic. From time to time, the news about the DGT points to new fines, sanctions or restrictions (each one more rare or unexpected) that, of course, does not exist. The last bulus points to the obligation to circulate with more than one person in the car. And if not … fine? Of course not. It is the first thing that has made us clear the DGT. To questions from Xatakafrom the organism they tell us that the DGT “will never fine to go alone in the car.” Because, indeed, that has been the last rumor that has been popularized in social networks and of which some media echoed dropping that this measure is being valued. What do we talk about? In recent days, The voice has run that the DGT works to carry out a regulation that forces us to circulate with more than one person inside the car. It has even been said that there will be fines of 135 euros if this supposed new regulation is breached. Where does all this come from? The last bulus that involves the DGT is born from a few words expressed by Pere Navarro, director of the agency, last November during the Global Mobility Call. In him he affirmed that “The future will be shared or will not be”. With this, the director of the DGT wanted to make clear the importance of sharing vehicle to save in resources and consume and pollute less. However, “one thing is to foster and another fine,” they tell us from the DGT. And the words of the director of the DGT seem to go along this line unless they want to strangle to generate noise and clicks. There is a reason. And for the DGT that reason is that, according to their data, 85% of the displacements carried out every day in Spanish cities between home and work are done with a single occupant in a vehicle. This way of moving is obviously not very efficient. “We must make a collective change of mentality that allows us to encourage the high occupation of the vehicles, because we cannot afford 1,500 kg every day to displace a single person. Increasing the occupation of the vehicles is a challenge and a necessity,” Navarro said in his speech. The “case” of France. And we could use many, but many quotes. To ensure that the fine for breaching this alleged DGT standard will be 135 euros, some media have come to say that this measure is already applied in France and that heat cameras are used to warn if there is more than one person on board. But this is not true. Vao. What has been launched in some French cities is A high occupation lane. That is, a lane like the Spanish bus-life by which only vehicles with more than one person can circulate inside. Lanes that in the Spanish case are already controlled with the use of traffic cameras and whose Fine for using it improperly is 200 euros. For the control of these lanes, indeed, In France thermal radars are being used. The objective is to prevent some stratagems from being used that deceive the cameras. In Spain, for example, cases of using dolls in the passenger seat so that, disguised, pass a companion. And one last detail. To all of the above we must add that the DGT has no competences to regulate traffic in cities. Regulate the functioning of low emissions areas (ZBE) falls on the side of the municipalities. In fact, it is something that has been complaining for a long time and using as endorsement not to establish these zbe which are mandatory since 2023 in the municipalities of more than 50,000 inhabitants.

This master and explosive mixture of drama, action and thriller, signed by the director of ‘The Raid’, is already in streaming

by

Gareth Evans is one of those little prolific creators but to those who should follow the track very, very closely. He drew the attention of the less complexed action cinema fans with the two incredible deliveries of ‘The Raid’, those epic of Thai brutality that revolutionized the martial arts cinema. After an interesting landing in Netflix with the unclassifiable ‘the apostle’, he focused his efforts on billing, ‘Gangs of London‘, a British gangster thriller who does not respond to the viewer. The series will premiere its third season on April 14 in Skyshowtime, so it is time to recover its first two vibrant In Skyshowtime (That at the moment it only has the first year available, although it is assumed that it will not take long to arrive the second) as In Movistar Plus+that does have the two initial seasons. An explosion of absolute violence, portraits without compassion, drama between characters to the limit and a visualization of completely revolutionary action. The series starts with the death of an important London mafia who has governed in the city’s underworld for two decades. His son takes the throne, which triggers a wave of violence, with even international repercussions. In this context, an undercover policeman begins to gain the trust of the organization, while the question of who has killed the king of organized crime floats in the environment. A starting point that we have already enjoyed on many other occasions, but exposed in a more vibrant way than ever: the intensity of the action (sometimes with unusual technical virguerías in a series of average budget such as this), the overwhelming of interpretations and scarce concessions that are made to the topics of the genre They give fruit a first thriller. Now you have the opportunity to discover why everyone speaks wonders of ‘Gangs of London’.

You need extra help to concentrate

by

Find parking in a large city It is many times a challenge, so when you find, you place the car in position, you put the intermittent and lower the volume of music just before starting the maneuver. Have you ever wondered why the volume of music instinctively lows when you are trying to park in A complicated space? It’s not just a strange mania. This common habit has a fascinating explanation from the perspective of neuroscience and reveals How the brain optimizes concentration In critical moments. The effect of music and other stimuli on our attention Victoria Bayón, Neurocoach specialized in brain optimization, explained in The avant -garde that our brain has a limited capacity to process information. When we try to perform a task that requires precision, such as parking in a narrow place or deciphering information from an Excel cells, the brain needs to reduce stimuli to concentrate to the fullest in that task. The music, although it seems that it is only in the background to create atmosphere, occupies a valuable space in the “bandwidth” of the brain, being a cognitive stimulus that should be processed, subtracting potential to the main task. In fact, Researchers from the University of Georgiathey discovered that it is not the same to listen to instrumental music than songs with lyrics, being the latter much more demanding for the brain. Even when you don’t understand your language. Everything adds and processed equally. “When we park, our brain needs to focus all its attention, and music, although it seems not, is occupying a valuable space that could be better dedicated to the task we have ahead,” says Bayón. When an important task begins that requires great precision, the brain prioritizes that “bandwidth” of information, eliminating everything superfluous at that time. For that reason, instinctively we lower the volume Or we stop hearing the background conversations when we are very focused on a certain task. Attention is a limited resource Different Psychological studies have demonstrated something that basically We already knew But we insist on applying: The brain is not multitasking and cannot perform multiple tasks efficiently at the same time. When trying several things at once, the brain only changes the focus of attention, which decreases The quality of our concentration. In the case of the parking lot, that attention must be divided between the music, the noise of the environment and the maneuvers with the car. A Hal Pashler studyProfessor of Psychology at the University of California, demonstrated the interference that occurs when the brain has to divide its attention between simultaneous tasks (listen to music, process the space information of the parking lot and activate the car controls), demonstrating that the brain processing capacity is limited When faced with multiple stimuli. Strategies to maximize concentration If you usually turn off the music or lower the volume before parking, it is a symptom that you Attention capacity is already saturatedso you should reduce all the cognitive noise around you to be more efficient in the main task. Understand how your brain works allows you to design strategies to Improve your ability to concentrate. One way to prepare the environment to reduce concentration problems is minimize cognitive stimuli. Avoid putting music or environmental noise, if possible, avoid having corridors or passage areas in your visual range. That releases space in your brain and will help you concentrate on what really matters. The use of Noise cancellation headphones It can be an excellent option even when you are not reproducing anything thanks to its insulating characteristics, especially in noisy environments such as those of an office. The attention is A skill that is exercised And little by little you can improve, so that the brain is able to isolate those stimuli alone reinforcing selective attention.

Chichén Itzá has been the queen of tourism in Mexico for decades. He has competition with the new “Egypt of the Maya”

by

Pre -Hispanic presence is omnipresent in Mexico. We are getting more and more about the past of cities as Mexico Citybut if we have to talk about seeing cities and constructions of the Maya, Yucatán is the power. It is where are the most relevant archaeological sites. And, among all, a proper name stands out: Chichén Itzá. By far, It is the great Mayan power of tourism in the Yucatan Peninsula. But that crown jewel has just left a tough competition: Ichkabal, also known as the ‘Mesoamerican Egypt’. Ichkabal. In the state of Quintana Rooa few kilometers from La Laguna de Bacalar, the Maya raised an older city than others as famous as the aforementioned Chichen Itzá. HE esteem That it began to populate at some point in 400 BC and was inhabited until 1500 AD was the most important administrative city of the Maya, something that is believed due to the imposing size of some of its constructions. The problem is that, for centuries, the area was totally forgotten by the nature of nature, whose green opulence swallowed practically every trace of the buildings of the Maya except the main temple and some more construction. And, as is usually the case, its discovery was almost by accident. Fluke. In 1995, a team of researchers from the National Institute of Anthropology and History was in the area searching A much smaller archaeological territory known as ‘Las Higueras’ when they ran into something different and much larger. Thus, they ran into an imposing pyramid, but also with mounds of land and vegetation that covered different buildings. They immediately realized the importance of the site, so a path was built that can be seen perfectly in Apps such as Google Earth –This link-. In addition, in the application we can understand how the site had gone totally unnoticed due to that vegetation. The Mesoamerican Egypt. But well, there was no doubt that they were facing something big. In Ichkabal, the Maya built several small and medium buildings, but also other colossal. For example, an open square of about 300 meters, a couple of small pyramids and the crown jewel: a building 46 meters high and a 200 -meter plant. There is also a 60 x 8 -meter lagoon that could have supplied the population. And that proximity to a source of water and the ocean itself is what could have given Ichkabal the administrative importance that is estimated, had. Due to the size of these constructions, the Mesoamerican Egypt ‘has been called to the area. Rivaling with Kukulcán. To get an idea of ​​the size of that construction, the Kukulcán Temple that is the main Mayan attraction of Mexico as part of Chichén Itzá and indisputable protagonist of the equinox Spring and autumn, it has a height of about 30 meters and a base of 55.5 meters. The base of the main building of Ichkabal is four times larger and the height reaches 15 meters more. Now, the state of conservation is not the same, something logical considering that restoration work in both places did not run the same fate. But this is something that changed relatively little thanks to the goal of converting Ichkabal into one of the key stop stops of the Mayan train. Mayan train. With this railway network, the previous Mexican president -manuel López Obrador- wanted to create a transport system that value the archaeological sites of the country, connecting them better with the municipalities and the most tourist areas in order to facilitate it would arrive from one point to another. With that idea of ​​revitalizing the cultural heritage, the opening of Ichkabal once the objects of cataloging objects, other elements and restoration was finished, it was linked to the Mayan train project. So much so that, from INAH and as we read in The nationthey consider that Ichkabal has potential to unseat other archaeological sites, at the tourist level, such as Chacchoben either Kohunlich. Open to the public. And, after all the work of archaeologists, Ichkabal is the pre -Hispanic archaeological site number 194. As reported by himself INAHyou can visit from Monday to Sunday and it is located a distance from the stations of the Mayan Train of Bacalar and Chetumal, since the road we commented on a few lines has about 23 kilometers. And cruises. We said that Ichkabal is in Quintana Roo, a state in which yes, there are Mayan ruins XCARET-, but where tourism is otherwise. Is where the famous beaches of Cancun and the Rivera Mayawith all those kilometers of beach occupied by large resorts and hotel complexes. The ports of Xcalac and Mahahual are crucial for the arrival of cruises and is something that, together with the Mayan train, the state hopes that allows a high influx of visitors to the new Mayan city. Without a doubt, taking into account the dimensions of the archaeological site and the tourist magnet that is the state coast, Ichkabal has many ballots to be placed among the top of the most visited Mayan ruins in the country. We will have to be attentive to the list next year to see if the applicant can play the crown to Chichen Itzá and the Kukulcán temple.

Astronauts launched by Boeing are returning to Earth nine months later, in a Spacex ship

by

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are returning to Earth after nine months at the International Space Station. It is not an unusually long stay for an astronaut (the Russians They have come to spend three times longer in orbit), but Wilmore and Williams originally rose for a test mission just over a week. What followed was one of the most controversial decisions that NASA has taken in recent years. Express rotation Although How Elon Musk and Donald Trump tell himNASA’s two astronauts have not been really abandoned. The Boeing Starliner ship, with which they went up to the ISS in June, returned empty to Earth for a failure in the propulsion system that caused NASA managers to lose confidence in a safe return for their astronauts. Wilmore and Williams were reassigned, first, to the CREW-8 mission of Spacex. If there had been an emergency in the ISS between August and September, they would have returned in that ship under the seats of the other four crew, without the right suit. In September, the CREW-9 mission reached the ISS with two empty seats and two costumes for both, which regularized its situation. Since then, Wilmore and Williams have had a firm return plan: as soon as the four relay astronauts (the Spacex Crew-10 mission), they would return to Earth together with their two companions of the CREW-9 mission. There were some delays for technical issues (the Crew Dragon ship initially assigned to the CREW-10 mission was not ready and had to be replaced), but political tensions ended up accelerating things. Crew-10 arrived at the ISS during the early hours of Monday. 24 hours later, in the early hours of Tuesday, the CREW-9 mission was decoupling to enter the atmosphere and return to the earth. Normally astronauts spend more time together to catch up on the details of the orbital station, but this time it has been an express rotation. The return flight Dressed in their Spacex costumes, very different from those of the Boeing Starliner ship with those who were thrown into space, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams said goodbye to their peers and entered the Crew Dragon ship with Nick Hague of NASA and Aleksandr Gorbunov of Roscosmos, the other two crew of the CREW-9 mission. At 5:05 UTC, the Spacex ship decoupled from the ISS autonomously and quickly moved away from the laboratory in orbit using its propellants. The Crew Dragon has been maneuvering to reduce its altitude. It is expected that Amerize near the Coast of Florida at 9:57 p.m. UTC, 17 hours after its departure. The most delicate maneuver will occur 12 minutes before shocking. The ship will detach from its trunk and turn on its engines to exorbitar. Then he will perform his atmospheric reentry, being surrounded by plasma by the speed at which he will cross the gases of the Earth’s atmosphere. When it reaches 5,500 meters of altitude, the two pilot parachutes will open to stop the ship, followed by four main parachutes to 1,950 meters to cushion the shocking. The Dragon ship will play the Atlantic Ocean at a speed of 7.6 meters per second, detaching from its parachutes and bringing back to Butch and Suni after nine months of scientific work and maintenance aboard the ISS. The soap opera will have finished. Images | POT In Xataka | “Stranded” astronauts in space say goodbye to the ISS with a script turn: supporting Elon Musk’s version

RTVE wants to win the war of audiences at any price. Although that price is the 55 million of the World Cup

by

On February 18, the Contest for the Rights of the World Cup in 2026 in the US ended. According to the worldRTVE has made the rights paying 55 million for the matches that will be distributed with Midopro, which can create your own channel to sell the rights to platforms. A very expensive bet for sport, but also a safe value for audiences. And in the new stage of the public entity competing with the private ones, it is a strategic play. A lot of sport. Traditionally, RTVE has had under its mantle the channels to go to consume sports, especially the1 for more importance competitions. And it is clear that the public chain knows well that it is a reference in that sense, because it has invested 360 million euros in sports rights. Some of them: Eurocup 2028 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028 and Brisbane in 2032 Winter Olympic Games D’A Ampezzo, in Italy, in 2026 20 selection matches and 20 games of other selections at the Nations League The Champions Finals between 2025 and 2027 Copa del Rey 2024-2025 League summaries in 2025 FIBA competitions between 2025 and 2029 Cyclist return to Spain. The search for the audience. RTVE knows that the front row competitions have no rival: Spain’s parties of the Eurocup They reached 56% of Share and certain sports of the Olympic Games in Paris, such as tennis, They were put at 37.5% quota. Figures capable of saving TVE audiences in the months in which they are issued. The purchase to the FIFA of the rights of the next World Cup makes it clear that RTVE wants to continue in this line. 100 million extra. Precisely these last two sporting events, the Eurocup and the Olympic Games, required an extra impulse. The government had to inject 100 million extra euros to the entity to finance the purchase of these rights, as reported by the then Cascajosa Conception in her first appearance before the Mixed Budget Control Commission. To compete. RTVE has been since the middle of last year, but especially with the arrival of its new president, José Pablo López, competing from you to you with the private ones. Broncano and ‘La Revuelta’ They are the clearest case, Equing with audience to ‘El Hormiguero’ And at the same time, damaged by the successes of Tele5as if it were a private one. And the thing does not end there: among the next plans of the new director of public television, Sergio Calderón (with long experience in mainstream production and Mediaset management), is A magazine for the afternoons where Belén Esteban and María Patiño will be, and the signing of great entertainment names as Buenafuente. Money is not a problem. RTVE is in a singular situation, since although its budgets are closed (and immovable: The same money has been allocated since 2009), is entering the signing market and betting of private ones. A movement that He has won criticismalthough it is convenient to be clear that TVE does not directly compete with the private ones in a very clear aspect: it does not put advertising (although it does have sporadic sponsorships in the programs, which has given it the occasional legal disgust). Therefore, its budget remains public, its expenses too … but its intentions seem linked to the destination of private ones.

“He will go to Mars next year”

by

Starship has suffered its greatest setback in years. Two consecutive explosions They have triggered rumors that something is wrong with the latest design improvements of the ship. Elon Musk He has just responded to these rumors in his own way, stating that the world’s largest rocket will be launched to Mars next year. “Starship will leave to Mars at the end of next year, carrying optimus as a load,” The businessman wrote in allusion to Tesla anthropomorphic robots. “If those landings went well, the landings with humans could start in 2029, although they are more likely in 2031”. The dates are optimistic, but not arbitrary. The launch windows between the Earth and Mars occur every 26 months, when the relative position of both planets allows more efficient trajectories, with a lower fuel expense. The next launch window will open in November 2026. Spacex plans to send around Five starship not crew to Mars during the next launch opportunity. The ships would arrive on the red planet six months later, shortly before the planned date For Artemis III, the first manned mission to the Moon since 1972. Starship is a fundamental part of NASA’s lunar mission, and in turn the largest public contract of the rocket, but Musk has said that the moon is “a distraction” and that Spacex’s priority is to colonize Mars, An objective that Donald Trump then adoptedso the future of the Artemis program is uncertain. Starship 34 filtered image with several less engines for the explosion Nor is Starship at his best. The 123 meter high rocket premiered a new version of its second stage, Starship Block 2in January. The ship has exploded on two consecutive flights since then: On flight 7, By “harmonic oscillations” which triggered a leakage of propellants, an engine fire and, finally, the disintegration of the ship On flight 8, for an “energy event” which caused the disappearance of several engines and caused the loss of ship’s control to its self -control The second ruling fired a trail of leaks and rumors that put into question the redesign of the ship. First, a mysterious source leaked an image of Starship 34, that of flight 8, with several missing engines after the explosion. After, The same source affirmed that the root cause of the problem had been the same as in the previous flight: vibrations in the tubes that carry fuel and oxygen to the Vacuor Raptor engines (RVAC), a garrafal design failure. According to this anonymous filter, Vibrations get worse As the tanks are emptied after the separation of stages. When the tanks are full, the liquid helps to cushion the vibrations, but when emptying, the vibrations increase to cause breaks in the pipes. If so, this problem occurs in the engines compartment, a non -pressurized part of the rocket that Spacex calls “AFT” (or stern) and that could be partially redesigned in upcoming versions of the rocket. Despite these rumors, Elon Musk said that flight 8 had been A lower setback and that Starship would be ready to fly again next month.
