Indian TV actor Dev Joshi to join Japanese billionaire for SpaceX moon trip | Oneindia News*News
Indian television actor Dev Joshi announced that he will be joining the ‘dearMoon CREW’.
He said that he will take a week-long trip around the moon in a SpaceX rocket next year.
The 'dearMoon' project was first announced in 2017 and is the first civilian mission to the Moon.
As per the project website, yesterday, Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa, who purchased all the seats aboard the rocket in 2018, revealed the name of the eight people who will be joining him for the all-private lunar endeavour.
SpaceX's Third Test of Its , Starship Succeeds Ahead, of Crewed Lunar Mission.
'The Independent' reports that SpaceX's third test of its
Starship has ended successfully, with the spacecraft
falling to Earth somewhere in the Indian ocean. .
The successful test follows two
failed tests which lasted only a few
moments before ultimately exploding.
The third test saw the Starship successfully launch,
separate from its booster, arrive in space, open its
payload door and then fly halfway around the Earth.
This means that the test successfully
accomplished all of the major tests
SpaceX had laid out prior to launch.
Starship is the largest and most
powerful rocket ever built, with
a towering height of 397 feet. .
CEO Elon Musk said prior to launch that the
company had made thousands of upgrades and
fixes to improve the chances of a successful test.

The test flight outperformed previous
tests, reaching an altitude of 100
miles and nearing orbital speed.
'The Independent' reports that NASA is heavily invested in
the success of Starship, as the spacecraft plays an integral
role in the agency's plan to return astronauts to the moon.
The highly anticipated missions will
mark the first crewed missions to the
moon since last century's Apollo program.

In a recent discussion on X Spaces, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk made headlines with his controversial remarks about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the role of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Musk, who was addressing US Republican Senators opposed to a draft bill providing additional wartime aid to Ukraine, suggested that Putin is under immense pressure to end the conflict.

Researchers Use AI , to Identify Strange Reflective , 'Anomalies' on the Moon.
'Vice' reports that scientists have
uncovered strange, reflective "anomalies"
on the surface of the moon.
Research published in the 'Journal of Geophysical
Research - Planets' stems from a series of images captured
by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft.
Using artificial intelligence, researchers were able
to analyze over a million images to discover
approximately 130,000 of these unexplained anomalies.
Normally, lunar dust is very
porous and reflects a lot of light
back in the direction of illumination, Marcel Hess, Image analyst from the
Technische Universität Dortmund, via 'Vice'.
However, when the dust is
compacted, the overall brightness
usually increases. This is not the case
with the observed dust-covered rocks, Marcel Hess, Image analyst from the
Technische Universität Dortmund, via 'Vice'.
The team believes the strangely reflective rocks
were the result of the impact that formed the
craters near where the rocks were found.
The authors of the study believe a number of factors
could explain the rocks' reflective quality, including
the microscopic structure of the rocks themselves.
They theorize that the static properties of
a specific kind of lunar dust or the moon's
magnetic fields could also play a role.
'Vice' reports that the Reiner Gamma region,
where the anomalous rocks were discovered,
is a known hotspot for magnetic activity.
Researchers hope that NASA's upcoming Lunar Vertex
mission, which will collect samples from the
Reimer Gamma region, will help unravel the mystery.
