install a nuclear reactor on the moon before China and Russia create its exclusion zone

The Space race has warm upthis time in the heat of a nuclear reactor on the surface of the moon. And as already happened in the 60s, the urgency is not scientific, but fundamentally geopolitical. The Duffy directive. The break between Elon Musk and Donald Trump trunciated Jared Isaacman’s career as future NASA administrator. The current acting administrator of the Space Agency, Sean Duffy, is in turn Trump’s Secretary of Transportation, faithful to the priorities of the White House. In a movement that will mark the priorities of the agency, Duffy has launched an accelerated plan to build a small nuclear power plant on the moon. The directive urges NASA to have a satellite functional reactor by 2030. Why 2030. The main motivation is get ahead of the Chinese and Russia Alliance to build your own lunar reactor. “We are in a race towards the moon, a race with China. And to have a base on the moon, we need energy,” Duffy explained In a later press conference. The fear of Washington is explicit in the directive itself: “The first country to do so could declare an exclusion zone, which would significantly limit the United States for establishing the Presence of Artemis If I will not arrive first. “ A new plan. NASA was already working on a project called Fission Surface Power (FSP) with the intention of installing a 40 kW reactor on the surface of the moon at the beginning of the next decade. The new directive, published entirely By NASA Watch, raise the bet to a more efficient Bryton cycle turns and a minimum power of 100 kW. The dates are also more ambitious. The United States government requires NASA to be installed for the first 2030 quarter using a launch system of at least 15 tons of capacity. The reactor and all transportation logistics and installation will be open to the American private industry through a future public tender. More astronauts, less science. Nuclear energy will be crucial for any manned lunar base. The moon has a day and night cycle of approximately 29.5 terrestrial days, which means that any type of lunar colony faces two weeks of icy darkness. Solar energy is unfeasible to feed the life support equipment and heating that will keep astronauts alive. A fission reactor, on the other hand, would provide a constant and reliable source of energy. This Directive is the first important movement of Sean Duffy as an acting administrator, and reflects the change of course that began the 2026 Budgets of the White House: an increase in the funds for human exploration of deep space, especially if they can prevent China from getting to Marsand cuts of up to 50% in purely scientific areasincluding many of the probes that study the solar system.

The intestine has a “golden rich zone.” And if we often default out of it you have to pay attention

Making peanut is a intestine health thermometer. So much that in Australia they encourage employees do your things at work. It is a moment that We can take even to read or to do Infinite scroll on mobile (Even for Share the site in which we are making poop), but also one that we should pay more attention. The reason is that the time and frequency are details that say a lot about our long -term health. Cause or consequence? Throughout the years different investigations have been carried out on the importance of defecation as such, but also about the ideal time to do sothe frequency of the same and the shape, size and texture that They should have The Depositions. Studies have been carried out that linked the constipation with a higher risk of infections and diarrhea Chronicle with neurodegenerative diseases. However, these observations were made in subjects who already had some disease, so it had to be found out if the intestinal problem was a cause or the consequence. As science is not done alone, a team from Institute for Systems Biology He took the front to answer that question. The study. In it studyresearchers are Gibbons and Johannes Johnson-Martinez analyzed the clinical, genetic, microbiological and lifestyle variables of 1,400 healthy adults. Something that the subjects had to detail was the frequency of the depositions, which would be classified as follows: One or twice a week – constipation. Three to six times a week – Low frequency. One to three times a day – normal frequency. More than three times a day – Diarrhea. “Gold rich zone”. The researchers realized that the people who reported eating a diet rich in fiber, exercised regularly and had good hydration, had a good intestinal movement. In a display of scientific humor, they baptized this as “the golden rich zone”, which becomes a frequency of intestinal movement between one and two daily stories. That is the point where, according to researchers, the balance between microbiome and physiological markers is optimal. Therefore, the optimal frequency is between one and twice daily, but it is not always the case and, when there is an imbalance is when the problems begin inside. Ideal form of feces: Type 3 and 4 More serious than it seems. Johnson-Martinez comments that “if the feces remain too long in the intestine, microbes exhaust all available dietary fiber, something that normally ferment to produce short-chain fatty acids beneficial for health. If this occurs, the ecosystem changes and begins to ferment proteins, which generates several toxins that can reach the bloodstream.” These by-products of the fermentation of protein filtered to the bloodstream, such as the sulfate p-rresol and the Indexil Sulfate, pass to the kidneys, causing damage in case of constipation. If, on the contrary, diarrhea occurs, feces practically do not go through the intestine, causing clinical parameters related to liver damage. That is: with constipation, the kidneys suffer. With diarrhea, the liver. Chivato. Gibbons comments that chronic constipation, which we have just seen what effects they produce, has been associated with neurodegenerative disorders and the chronic progression of kidney diseases. What is missing is to define whether that anomaly in the intestinal movement is an early warning of a chronic disease or damage to the organs. Now, the study also explores how this frequency of the intestinal movement is also related to the Anxiety and depressionrelating mental health to deposits. The researchers comment that it has been possible to link the frequency of the depositions with all body systems and how is something that can be a risk factor in the Chronic disease development. His hope is that medicine be taken seriously to “optimize health and well -being, even healthy populations, based on the frequency of intestinal movement.” And some drawer is that, if we have no problem, we should not hold the desire or force it, because we reduce and artificially increase the time that the feces are in the intestine Study feces. There is an important detail that must be taken into account: to have a different frequency from that of one/twice daily can be normal. The problem is when it becomes chronic. That is when we should ask ourselves what is happening. There may be a health problem, but also that we have a low diet in fiber from fruit and vegetables. It is logical, but food and Our lifestyle It is something inseparable from our feces. In addition, throwing an eye from time to time is not a bad idea because it is a free intestinal health test. Also You can scan your poop with an app that analyzes it thanks to the AI. The time, matters. Being in the “golden rich zone” is relevant, but previous studies also explored the idea that the moment we make peanut is also. Studies prepared in 2020 and 2022 They related circadian rhythms to gastrointestinal activity. At night, intestinal activity decreases significantly, but during the day, especially after waking us or eating, there is greater mobility. An optimal moment is half an hour after awakening, since the colon is activated after nighttime rest, but defecating later of that moment does not imply that something goes wrong because there is some flexibility in the matter.
