Elon Musk gave an interview where he refused to recognize earthly laws in the future colony on Mars, which he plans to establish. A businessman declared this planet free. He stressed that the city needs to be built before the Third World War, which, he hopes, will never happen, but after it, such a chance will definitely be unlikely. Ultimately, the businessman plans to send a million people to the Red Planet by 2050.

Honestly you would need to set up a mars colony as a legislatively independent city state, regulations made for earth are incompatible with regulations needed for a space colony.

There are also is a very distinct possibility on very stupid tax enforcement decisions that could sink the mission economically unless you decide to use sovereign immunity as a way to refuse property tax on your multi-trillion dollar mars colony.

I actually wouldn't mind living on mars if they managed to get colony's up there.

NASA Contacts Voyager 2 – 11.6 Billion Miles From Earth – Using Upgraded Deep Space Station

The only radio antenna that can command the 43-year-old spacecraft has been offline since March as it gets new hardware, but work is on track to wrap up in February. On October 29, 2020, mission operators sent a series of commands to NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft for the first time since mid-March
scitechdaily.com

Voyager 2 keeps on talking. It's expected Voyager 2 will run out of power in the mid-2020's but as for now, despite being 125 AU's or 11.6 billion miles away on it's current 43 year long trip it's still able to communicate with NASA for the time being. It is currently providing the first direct measurements of interstellar plasma temperature and density.

Steak in space!

Astronauts and explorers on Mars could eat lab-grown steaks

Growing meat without the need to grow a whole animal has been the dream of agriculturalists and foodies everywhere for decades. More and more companies are jumping on the bandwagon to recreate the experience of eating meat without the downsides so often associated with its creation. One of those...

An Israeli company, Aleph Farms, is starting a new program called Aleph Zero whose goal is to create 'industrial' quantities of lab grown beef and other meats in space.

So many extreme exoplanets out there.

I wonder how the hell the winds on some planets can reach supersonic speeds.

China prepping for mission to bring back material from moon

Chinese technicians were making final preparations Monday for a mission to bring back material from the moon's surface for the first time in more than four decades—an undertaking that could boost human understanding of the moon and of the solar system more generally.
phys.org phys.org

China launched the first Lunar Return mission in forty years. The mission is to drill 2 meters beneath the moon's surface and scoop up about 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of rocks and other debris to be brought back to Earth. The last time Lunar rocks were recovered was by unmanned Soviet space probes back in the 1970's and prior to that several hundred pounds of moon rocks were recovered by the various manned US Apollo missions to the Moon.

Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole is Closer than Astronomers Thought | Sci-News.com

The distance between our Solar System and Sagittarius A*, the 4-million-solar-mass black hole at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy, is approximately 25,800 light-years.
www.sci-news.com www.sci-news.com

I will admit I have felt strangely but arbitrarily closer to the center of the universe galaxy. But don't worry, being 1900 light years closer to Sagittarius A, the super massive black hole in the center of our galaxy shouldn't change too much for us here on Earth. We are still over twenty thousand light years away.

Probably.
