Galileo Galilei of the 21st century is an unknown man who has discovered more moons than no one is going to discover

by

If they asked you about an astronomer, you would probably think of Copernicus or Galileo Galilei. Maybe Carl Sagan came to mind. If they add “to be alive,” you might answer Neil Degrasse Tyson or, in the event that you are a fan of Queen, Brian May. The name that would hardly come out in the conversation is Scott S. Sheppard, an astronomer as prolific as unknown. The number 1 in yours. Yeah Cristiano Ronaldo He is the greatest scorer in the history of professional football, Scott S. Sheppard is the CR7 to discover objects in our solar system. In total, he has put his name in more than 200 planetary moons: 78 of Jupiter, 119 of Saturn, three from Uranus and three of Neptune. Practically half of all known planetary moons. A record that, as points out Iflscienceprobably will never be overcome, and he has continued to swell it in recent months. The true king of Jupiter. In April, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) confirmed the discovery of two new moons in Jupiter, raising the official total giant to 97. Their provisional names are S/2017 J 11 and S/2017 J 10. Both are small moons and with retrograde orbits, that is, they revolve in the opposite direction to the rotation of the planet, something common in the outer and smaller satellites of Jupiter. And yes, he has discovered them Scott S. Sheppardthat with these two new findings, he adds almost 80 moons of Jupiter to his credit. To put it in perspective: Galileo discovered the first and largest moons of Jupiter in 1610. Since 2000, Sheppard has overwhelmingly dominated the search for Jovian satellites. What is resisting: Planet 9. He extensive curriculum Sheppard looks more like the index of an astronomical atlas than to the discoveries of a single person. In addition to natural satellites in Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptunethis astronomer of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington DC has also discovered 23 minor planets, six candidates for dwarf planets, three comets that bear their name (Sheppard – Trujillo, Sheppard – Tholen and Trujillo – Sheppard) and The most distant object ever observed In the Solar System: 2018 Ag37 “Farfarout”, about 130 times the distance between Earth and the Sun. This is where your work becomes even more fascinating. Many of his discoveries are transneptunian objects such as 541132 Leleākūhonua “The Goblin”. And it is no accident. Sheppard and his colleague Chadwick Trujillo found them while looking for something much bigger: The hypothetical planet nine. Themselves proposed in 2014 The existence of a superstraier -type distant planet to explain the strange orbits grouped from objects such as the Minor Sedna planet.

In Japan, a young man has devised the best way to leave at his time and not make extra hours: found his own religion

by

Work overload is one of Japan’s most serious problems, taking employees to collapse due to exhaustion. Despite the numerous measures that have been launched To protect workers, thousands of people are pressed to extend your workday Without compensation. In many cases, these eternal days generate physical and mental consequences They can be fatal. A Japanese young man has found an unexpected and legally protected form of getting rid of the so feared extra hours: founding his own religion. One that prohibits working beyond their working hours. The only commandment of Hista: You will go out at your time. In 2018, Motohiro Histano, tired of the workload and culture that surrounded him, decided to found a new religion he called Motohiro to Peoplealso known as MTOP. This was not going to be a religion like any other: it does not promise eternal life or demand penance for its faithful. Only offers a clear commandment: to refuse to work hours, arguing “religious reasons” not to do so, Point out on the webof the cult. He said In several statementshis main objective was to offer a valid (and legally respected) excuse to get out of work at his time. “The ‘religious reasons’ are the most powerful reasons in the world of reasons. I do not do miracles or have super powers. I only grant the power of the ‘religious reasons’ to those who follow me,” said Hista in Your message Foundational THE SACRED BOOK OF HISAN. If Judaism has the Torah, Islam the Qur’ Japan Labor Standards Law. The Japanese labor legislation provides strong protection against discrimination For reasons of sex, race or religion to its workers, so it is expressly forbidden to impose rules or retaliate against them for these reasons. That diligence in the protection of religious feelings was the one that gave the idea to Hista to found his church. If a religion dictates that “Nége to work overtime overtime, because it is bad to spend your time on things you do not want to do”, as faithful, the employee must follow those precepts. So the company will have no choice but to accept it, or assume a demand for religious discrimination. Pray to x. To make this religion the only thing that is needed is to follow An X account and join the followers of “Free Lance God“(The God free of responsibilities). As reads in his bio, religion has as many faithful as followers marks the accountant. At the moment, 17,100 faithful to the God that allows you to leave work at your time. Hista’s religion is laughing, reality does not. As with others Parodic religions like that of pastefarism, or the insumiso pussy, Motohiro to People adopts humor as a tool for denounce work injustices present in the daily life of Japanese society in the form of satire and social criticism. The work overload and eternal working hours have plunged Japan into a Demographic winter with Birth for soils and an aged labor market. Authorities and companies are promoting labor conciliation measures oriented not only to improve birth rate allowing families to compatible working life With the care of childrenin addition to Improve productivity promoting him employee welfare. Hista’s religion is a complaint to all this culture of toxic work that prevents people from having a life beyond work. In Xataka | In Japan there are parents named “Pikachu” to their children.

A man put an Airtag in his shoes and donated them to the Red Cross. And then discovered strange things

by

The city doesn’t matter. Neither the country. Not even the time of year. In Europe it is difficult to visit a minimally large town and not be at least a handful of containers For the donation of clothing, especially at busy points, such as commercial areas, urbanizations or the surroundings of Iglesias. The idea is to make people easy to give a second solidarity life to those pants, that shirt, that dress or those shoes that no longer serve us, but … What happens to all those garments? Where do they end? Recently Moe.haaa German influencer, decided to answer those questions in an original way: with the help of an AIRTAG, some old sneakers and an international flight that has ended up generating a considerable controversy. Where does my clothes end? That is the question not much was asked Moe.haaan influencer that one day decided to approach a container of donations from the Red Cross of Germany and throw some sports shoes. The key is that Moe’s. Before the young man had made an incision in the rubber sole to insert An AIRTAG And then cover it with a template, so that the piece passed totally unnoticed. The Airtag, remember, are Location devices That thanks to Bluetooth and the vast network of Apple devices distributed around the world constantly report its location. They are not GPS locators as such, but they are very useful to find out where you have left the keys or portfolio, especially in areas where there are people with iPads, iPhones or Apple Watches. And that was precisely what Moe wanted. What did you find out? That those old shoes began to travel. Literally. On the influencer screen the device drew an itinerary of hundreds of kilometers that even crosses several borders. In Your video Moe.Haa shows how he leaves his shoes in a Starnberg container, Bavaria, and from there they travel first to Munich and then to Puch (Austria), Kranj (Slovenia) and Zagreb (Croatia). The route does not end there. Before stopping, the influencer verifies that the footwear still makes another jump until Cazinin Bosnia and Herzegovina. In total about 800 kilometers. The trip was fascinating in itself, but Moe. To clarify the mystery, the young man climbed an airplane, flew to Bosnia and Herzegovina and then led to the canton of a-Sana. There he located the store in a matter of Cazin and (Bingo!) He identified the shoes with the hidden Airtag on a shelf. And what did they do there? The first thing that the young man checked is that the place is not dedicated to distributing free clothes among people in need. His shoes were on sale. They cost 20 frames, about 10 euros. Intrigued, Moe.Haa approaches them to the box to buy them and there the employee clarifies that her boss is a Bosnium who lives in Germany. The influencer asks then if the money is related to donations and the response of the dependent is sharp: no. “How can it be sold here, 800 km away, without employees reporting that it is a donation to the Red Cross,” He wonders At the end of the video. What does Red Cruz say? Moe’s video has generated such a stir that German Red Cross (DRK) He ended up resorting Also to Tiktok to give explanations and solve doubts. On its website the NGO also contributes Some clues. According to its estimates, the DRK collects between 70,000 and 80,000 tons of used garments, an immense amount of textile that is mostly unusable. The organization estimates that only half can be used. The rest serves only “as raw material.” Of the half that is reusable between 4,000 and 5,000 T they are dedicated to the purpose that donors have in mind when they deliver their clothes: it is destined for needy people. That, Clarifies DRKit is only 10%. The rest of the usable clothing is dedicated to another different purpose. “It is sold”, Confirm The NGO. The garments end in the hands of specialized companies and DRK receives funds that, insistsallow you to pay for your work and finance initiatives in Germany and Bavaria. Why don’t those pieces be sent in good condition to other places, such as African countries with higher poverty rates. The reason is very simple: logistics costs are “prohibitive.” Images | In Xataka |

If Spain is hooked today to programs like ‘OT’ or ‘Big Brother’ is due to a single man: Toni Cruz

by

Toni Cruz’s death last Friday at 78 serves us to radiograph the Current Cathodic Business Status. And above all, it is a reliable evidence that those who were architects of television as we know it are retiring or dying (that is, the one that the first years of the private ones were configured). Although for years it was not in front of the camera, its role has been key in some of the greatest successes of recent years. Great successes. Gestmusic launched, in collaboration with public and private channels, great success programs such as’Operation Triunfo‘,’Big Brother‘ either ‘Martian chronicles‘, being a cross essential part of the design and development of these programs. Little can be added to the founding importance of the three: our primeR talent showour first reality and an unclassifiable but very influential program that reached stratospheric audiences at an impossible schedule. The thing did not end there, and with the passage of time, Gestmusic was generating variants of these primal formats, with successes like ‘Rain of stars’, ‘Your face sounds to me’, ‘You do vouchers’, ‘Do not laugh that it is worse’ or ‘Look who dances!’ Cruz and Mainat ended up selling their part of Gestmusic to Endemol in 2017. The Baron of Bidet. For the general public, Toni Cruz became famous since the end of the sixties and even entered the eighties with the trench, in the company of Josep Maria Mainat and Miquel àngel Pasqual. With them he co -length several successful television programs, such as ‘No Passa Res’ (TV3) and ‘Tariro, Tariro’ (TVE), which led him to a large extent how television worked inside. The next step was clear. Gestmusic arrives. In 1987 the trench published its latest album (‘Marro!’) And created the producer Gestmusic. Its foundation coincided with the arrival of private televisions and the massification of regional and local, and their success catapulted when one of the trio members, Pasqual, left the producer due to health problems and sold its part of Gestmusic to one of the most powerful multinationals in the audiovisual world, the Dutch Endemolcreator of the original ‘Big Brother’ format. Two rode together. In a relatively short period of time, two very relevant proper names have disappeared from the national industry, perhaps those that have best defined the tone and style of mass television of the 21st century. Almost three years ago It was Paolo Vasile, who left his position as CEO of Mediaset. Without it we would not have had a format as influential as’Save me‘, in addition to giving green light to programs produced by Cruz himself, such as’ Big Brother’. Between the two agglutinate (one as creative force, another as necessary administrative work from the most successful channel dome for many years) the mass of headers with the greatest impact in Spain in recent decades. It is no longer just about the success of audience of programs such as ‘Operation Triunfo’ or ‘Big Brother’, but beyond the obvious (these two franchises continue to add editions today), their seal is still very present in current programs of great impact. The legacy. For example, one of the most successful programs today is ‘Your face sounds to me’, which has reached maximum of 25.1% quota: it is the nth variant of the ‘Operation Triunfo’ template (interpretation of pop standards, jury, skill), but with the template of “the contestants are famous”. A template that is lately devouring all competitions and realities… And that Gestmusic also invented with the very thunder and unclassifiable ‘Big Brother’ with Celebrities That was ‘Hotel Glam’. Martian chronicles follow. And not only that: the studied balance of dynamics of order and chaos of ‘Martian chronicles’ continues to be in more harmless formats, such as’El Hormiguero‘(He shares part of his production team with the Sardá program). And, of course, with all kinds of pink information programs, starting with ‘Save Me’, also essential to understand the current television formats. So far, so close. Gestmusic and Vasile gave some of the last chest that the industry has lived, taking into account that many of the current success formats are variations of ‘Big Brother’, ‘Operation Triunfo’. Television has always lived to cannibalize its own hits, so regardless of the issues about its future, what is very clear is that Cruz has been an essential part of understanding television in recent decades, and as we have reached what we have now.

A man stayed a 20 -euro bizum sent by mistake. The judge has fined her and has come out ten times more expensive

by

With 28 million active users, Bizum is the most used system in Spain for payments among users. We send and receive a lot of money through Bizum and make an mistake when typeing the number we want to send money is something that can happen with relative ease. If we are lucky, they may return it to us, but what happens if who is on the other side decides to stay the money? Now we know. Staying a bizum sent by mistake is very expensive. As we said, making a mistake to type the number to which we want to send a bizum can be quite easy and it is just what happened to a neighbor of Benavente, as they say in Zamora’s opinion. The person who received the 20 euros did not return the amount and the woman decided to denounce him to the authorities. The Provincial Court of Zamora has proved him right and has condemned the receiver of the transfer to return the 20 euros, in addition to paying the judicial coasts and a fine of 180 euros for a slight crime of improper appropriation. More than ten times the original amount. The Civil Code says. The denounced has resorted to the sentence alleging lack of evidence and presumption of innocence, but the judge has confirmed it and considers that the woman had not consented to the transfer. This would apply not only to Bizum, but to transfers and any other payment received by error. He Article 1895 of the Civil Code It is clear, it must always be returned: When something that was not entitled to collect is received, and that by mistake it has been improperly delivered, the obligation to restore it arises. There is jurisprudence. There have been more cases that have reached the courts for transfers made by error, such as this one of an Alicante businessman who faces Three years in jail for not returning a payment of 341,000 That was done by mistake. EITHER This 2015 sentence who condemned a woman for staying with 25,900 euros of the pension plan of her ex -husband, the result of an error of the bank when rescuing the money. Bizum in figures. Bizum It has become the standard of immediate payments in Spain. Arrived in 2016 as part of an initiative among various banking entities, although it was not until 2018 when It extended and began to grow. It currently has 28 million users and it is expected to reach 30 throughout the year. In 2024 an average of 3 million operations were made per day. The record was the past Black Friday (November 29, 2024), with 4.8 million operations. Or what is the same: 55 bizums per second. In total, in 2024 1,093 million operations were made worth 44,206 million euros. We do not know the number of erroneous operations when sending money, but with these numbers it is logical that they are increasing. Bizum grows, legal doubts too. In parallel to this growth, unknowns have also been increasing from the legal and legal point of view. Many users wonder What income or payments should be declared to the Treasury. We know that it is not necessary to declare payments between friends and family, although the freelancers who use it to collect, the income that generate economic profitability as rentals or if the total amount adds more than 10,000 euros per year should do. Doubts have also emerged about whether something that has eliminated the Threshold of 3,000 euros in the control of transfers by the Treasury. In this case, if high amounts are received through Bizum, the Treasury may investigate it, just as they would do if it were a transfer or a metallic income. Little by little, light is shed and it is clear that, at the legal level, Bizum is one more method to move money and apply the same rules as any type of income In Xataka | Timo of the false bizum by mistake: how it works and how to avoid this scam

A man has survived an accidental flight of 8,000 meters high. The video of the feat has cost him expensive: it occurred in China

by

To get an idea, 8,000 meters high equals what is known as “Death” area In mountaineering, that point where the atmosphere is so thin that the human body cannot survive much time without supplementary oxygen. We talk about an altitude similar to CIMA DEL Mount Everest (8,848 meters), and higher than the usual flight of many small commercial aircraft (below commercials, of course, which usually operate between 10,000 to 12,000 meters). Well, a man has reached that altitude accidentally. Also He has survived And there is A video. An accidental feat. In architectural terms, those 8,000 meters high would be like stack Torres Burj Khalifathe highest skyscraper in the world with 828 meters, or place several times Mount Fuji one over another. At that point, temperatures fall to tens of degrees below zero, atmospheric pressure is reduced to less than a third of the sea level, and without specialized equipment, even breathing becomes a small miracle. And yet, what began as a simple equipment test ended in an odyssey at such a height for Peng Yujiang, a Chinese parapetist who, without pretending to really take off, was caught by a powerful ascending current in the Qilian mountain range. It started from about 3,000 meters of altitude and, in just twenty minutes, it was driven another 5,000 meters to the sky. With temperatures up to -35 ° Ccovered with ice and with frozen hands, Peng tried to maintain paragliding control and communicate by radio with his friend on land, Gu Zhimin. The man remained more than an hour In the air, he momentarily losing consciousness and landed 30 km beyond of your starting point. A feat, but not recognized. Although the Chinese authorities have recognized the survival of Peg As something exceptional“No one can be 8,000 meters without oxygen and remain alive,” They saidexpensive has come out: a hard sanction has fallen with six months of prohibition to fly for not having registered his flight, which placed him outside the legal framework. The video of the incident we see above, engraved by PEG and disseminated by GU in the social network Douyin, became viral, generating admiration between the public and criticism among the officials, who also punished Gu with Six months of disqualification for disseminating the material without permission. By the way, although some have suggested that Peng could have broken a world record, the authorities ruled out for the Lack of official registration of the flight. Parallelism with an identical accident. Peng’s story remembers that of the record established in 2007 by the German Ewa Wiśnierskawho was also absorbed by a thermal current while flying in Australia and reached no less than the 9,946 meters high. As Peng, Wiśnierska lost knowledge during his flight, although he survived and discovered the altitude reached by reviewing his instrumentation after landing. The difference is that this record was officially recognized, and that of Peng, however extremely it would be, will be relegated to the chronicle of what impossible But not certified. For the Annals, an involuntary, amazing feat … and punished, first in China for the dissemination of graphic material, and then not fitting on the bureaucratic margins of air sport. A true penalty for such a flight. Image | X In Xataka | The British army wanted to celebrate the day D unfolding its paratroopers in Normandy.

A man wanted to put order in the fish of the fish market. His invention financed one of the largest cars collections in Europe

by

In everyday life, there are inventions as simple as it is essential that, however, they often go unnoticed. One of them is the “shift” ticket dispenser that we find in fishing, butchers and supermarkets, and that has ended the discussions in Waiting tails. Behind this invention is Rodger Dudding, a British who with his business vision kneaded a great fortune that allowed him to fulfill his great dream: to gather one of the Collections of more impressive cars from the United Kingdom and Europe. As They counted in Motorpasionthanks to his ingenuity, today we not only enjoy more orderly linesbut we can also contemplate one of the largest private collections of classic cars in Europe with More than 450 cars ranging from Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin or the Ford T, to such humble models as the Fiat Topolino. Rodger Dudding and the invention that changed the queues Rodger Dudding was born in the United Kingdom and is a training engineer. At 87, he is responsible for the distribution in the United Kingdom of one of the most used inventions in businesses around the world: the queue management system based on a Shift ticket dispenser. In 1970, Dudding He founded Lonsoa company that is still active, and began to manufacture the ticket dispensers that have avoided more fights and confusion when waiting for the turn and supermarkets. The classic red dispenser quickly became a standard, facilitating life to both customers and merchants. Even today, a significant percentage of Dudding’s benefits comes from the commercialization of this system, which remains essential in businesses of all kinds. Passion for cars With the money obtained from ordering the tails of the shops, Rodger Dudding decided to invest in his great passion: classic cars. Although, the millionaire collector has preference for British models, in An interview For the channel Bellow the Radar Carshe confessed that he had not been able to resist to the Ferrari or any beautiful car that was shot. Dudding said that, at first, not his intention to start a collection as such, but was limited to going buying the cars they liked. One day, his wife got fed up with his garage full of old cars, so Dudding acquired An old tram garage To save your cars. Almost without realizing it, the garage with capacity for about 120 cars He was smallgiving rise to the current collection that already It occupies three stores. The Dudding collection, known as Studio 434includes models of all times and styles: from 1911 models, such as Ford T, through racing cars prior to World War II or exclusive Limited luxury editions. The collector millionaire confesses that, beyond the Ferrari, Rolls-Royce or Aston Martin that form his collection, there is only one car through which life would be played to rescue him from a fire: a Morris Minor that his father bought again in 1952 and that his sister inherited. He bought a more current car equivalent and incorporated his father’s car to his collection. According to estimated Dudding, the collection is valued in More than 40 million pounds sterling (which are about 47.7 million euros) and includes, in addition to cars of all kinds, motorcycles and objects related to the motor world. His fetish: Aston Martin Lagonda Despite the diverse of the Studio 434 collection, there is a model for which Dudding feels a special predilection: Aston Martin Lagonda. The millionaire has no less than 24 units of different versions, including the first and last one that were manufactured. The Dudding collection had 26 lagonda in its catalog, but, as confessed in its interview with Bellow the Radar Carsthey made a purchase offer for them that he could not reject and were to be part of other collections, so he dispensed with two of them. One of the most striking aspects of Rodger Dudding’s collection is that All vehicles are in perfect condition of operation. The collection has a motor engineer who works full -time by cyclionally reviewing each and every one of the cars and has them A day in maintenance. In addition, provided that the British climate allows it, the revised vehicles go around the storage apple so that the suspensions and mechanical elements They move. Studio 434, the company that manages the collection, is responsible for renting some of these Classic cars for eventsweddings, movies and television series, thus contributing to the conservation of the collection that has become a reference for motor lovers. Some of the cars in this collection have participated in series such as The Crown or in the saga of Harry Potter.

Returning home is not the same for a woman as a man. We know where each one looks

by

The eyes are the mirror of the soul. Or at least this is stated by the old Adagio. That is why when a time ago a group of scientists from the Brigham Young University (Byu) He wanted to find out how people feel when he walks back home at night, and especially to what extent he influences that feeling that they are men or women, he noticed precisely in that: his eyes. What caught their attention. With the help of heat maps, the researchers found out what areas of the road the women look at and which men focus on. The results are eloquent. Where do you look? For your study the researchers of Brigham Young They did a relatively simple test: they interviewed almost 600 students (56% were women and 44% men) who showed 16 images taken at the UTAH Valley University, Wesminster, Utah University and Byu itself. Then they were asked to imagine walking alone for each of those areas and mark the areas that attract their attention the most. To facilitate their work, the researchers used a heat map tool of QUALTRICS and different types of photos. Some of the images showed daytime environments, with natural light. Others had taken out at night. The selection also included several scenarios with more or less ‘oppressive’ environments. What did you discover? That the answers varied depending on whether the interviewee was a woman or a man. The former focused significantly on the periphery of the image, where they could arise “Possible security risks”. The men look forward, basically at focal points or their destination. They attended to the points of light, the trails, garbage cubes … their visual pattern was clearly different and rather reflected “a scan of the perimeter”, pending the edges of the road, dark areas or shrubs. But … what did they see? To better understand the differences between men and women, the most useful is to observe the heat maps that the Byu team incorporated into Your studypublished in 2024 in Violence and Gender and that we reproduce in this article. The material is interesting because not all photos without equal. There are images with little light in “high entrapment” environments. Others taken by day, with light, and in spaces where the options to escape are limited. And others of “low entrapment” both in night and daytime stages. Among them there are notable differences, but usually the graphics show that women pay more attention to the edges of the photos than men, whose look focuses on what they have in front of them, the point they are going to. What does it mean? The study has its own biases. As Remember Lee Chambersof Male Allies UK, the investigation was carried out in the US, is based on the responses provided by the interviewees and it is not unreasonable that the result is conditioned by cultural reasons. “I can say as a man that there is an element of social conditioning to look forward, since it transmits trust and not fear,” he explains. However, the study is revealing. Technicalities and details apart, For byu What he shows us is basically that walking home at night “is not the same” for men and women. “The study provides clear visual evidence of the constant exploration of the environment that women do when they walk in the dark, a security consideration that, according to the study, is exclusive to their experience,” concludes the university. Why is it important? In words De Robbie Chaney, a public health professor at the Byu and one of the authors of the research, maps only visual “what people think, feel or do when they move through these spaces.” “Before starting the study we expected to see differences, but not in such a contrasted way.” Hence, for Ayssa Baer, ​​another of the study authors, the work offers “a starting point to generate awareness.” “I hope that, having concrete data, we can initiate conversations that lead to significant actions,” The researcher abounds. His study may be theoretical and move in the academic sphere, but the authors advocate to serve those responsible for designing university environments to take into account “the different experiences, perceptions and security” of men and women.

The influence of the richest man in the world about Trump is making a fortune to another member of the Musk clan: his mother

However, in recent years, his career has risen like the foam influenced by the business success of his son, and has accelerated even more since Elon Musk has such an influential position in Donald Trump’s government.

Another member of the Musk clan with conflicts of interest Although there is no evidence that she has tried to influence the policy of the United States Government, Maye Musk’s international activities have raised some ethical concerns for having accepted works linked to the Chinese government. Ethics experts, such as Scott Amay of the government supervision project, expressed to the New York Times His concern about the possible conflicts of interest of Elon Musk’s mother. “Fear is whether in those countries they would be using it to obtain a degree of separation with their child and two degrees of separation with the oval office,” said the expert. The questioning about the ethics of Maye Musk’s travel are added to the fronts for conflicts of interest that Elon Musk already faces for his companies. The FBI usually thoroughly examines contacts abroad of the presidential advisors and their relatives before granting security authorizations, emphasizing their trips to countries cataloged as “adversary potentials” of the US. However, the NYT has not found indications that any of that is happening with the mother who has been classified as “Special Government Employee“With the ability to stagge the foundations of The main state agencies.

This man is the first person who flies to space without revealing his identity. They haven’t taken to find out who it is

Six people traveled yesterday to the Blue Origin suborbital rocket. One was Jesús Callejathe first television presenter that crosses the line of Kárman as part of the filming of a documentary. In the same ship another five people flew. Four of them, millionaire businessmen and executives who had paid for the flight. The sixth crewman was an anonymous person. Was An anonymous person because on the Internet there are difficult secrets to maintain. Context. They are already going 52 people That they fly to the space with Blue Origin since Jeff Bezos, the owner of the company, premiered the small New Shepard rocket with his brother Mark, the aviator Wally Funk and the young Oliver Daemen (the oldest woman, with 82 years, and the youngest man, with 18, in crossing the border of the space). Taking into account that just 719 people have traveled beyond the 100 kilometers of altitude, Blue Origin’s space tourists begin to be a multitude in the select club of people who have gone to space. With its flights for millionaires of just 10 minutes, the New Shepard rocket has a growing record of records: the oldest man (William Shatner), the first Mexican (Katya Echazarreta), the first Portuguese (Mário Ferreira), etc. What they had not had until now was an anonymous passenger. The first suborbinaut without name. Of the 719 people who have flown to space so far, none had done without revealing their name. The astrophysician Jonathan McDowell knows it well, who maintains a database of all space flights in historystarting with Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961, and Alan Shepard, on a suborbital flight, 23 days later. When McDowell went to update his database with the crew of the NS-30 mission of Blue Origin, he decided not to settle for the unknown of the sixth traveler (the first stain of the history) and asked his followers (in a tweet now erased) if they could find out who he was. Most of the answers reproached McDowell having used their influence to try to expose a person who wanted to remain anonymous. Others They wondered If it could be the camera of Jesús Calleja (but why hide his identity, then?). Until, finally, one of McDowell’s followers found who he was. R. Wilson. Blue Origin had diligently complied with his client’s desire. The mysterious traveler He went out to face discovered In the official photos and videos of the mission, but on the web, on social networks, in the press releases, in the retransmission of the launch, Blue Origin only mentioned the first five passengers with name and surname, adding: “and a sixth crewman whose name has not been revealed.” What did not help the man to preserve his identity was to have his initial and his last name embroidered in the space suit: R. Wilson. However common the last name Wilson was enough to French YouTuber Ufotinik He will find his full name and news about him on the Internet. An Australian cryptocurrency. Jesús Calleja mentioned in an interview that an Australian friend had done on the mission. Perhaps he refers to Russell Wilson, founder of the Coinspot cryptocurrency exchange platform, based in a modest Melbourne building. According to a report of 2023 of the Daily MailWilson leads a discreet life in the city’s suburbs, although he has paid 538 million dollars in dividends. The report includes a photo of the businessman, who already maintained a low profile and avoided public attention, delegating media appearances in his executives while led the company from anonymity and following strict security protocols. He failed to maintain anonymity then, nor has he achieved it on his trip to space. But McDowell’s efforts for not letting an entry into its database only reinforce the initial idea of ​​this article: space tourists are beginning to be a crowd in the select club of people who have gone to space, so we will see more and more eccentricities above the karm line. After all, career astronauts, those of space agencies, are officials chosen and formed to the extreme for a single thing: act according to the protocols and be predictable in any situation.
