By 989 0

In July, 2021, NASA will launch the Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission, the first full-scale demonstration of asteroid defection technology. The mission will target the smaller body in the binary asteroid system. It will demonstrate deflection technology that can be used to protect Earth from hazardous asteroids.

Asteroids are all around us at all times. We hear about the biggest and most dangerous ones on a regular basis, but at the moment we really don’t have any way to protect ourselves if one were to come speeding straight for Earth.

The acclaimed space research centre based in the North American country of the United States of America is one of the agencies working on ways to save us from a potentially disastrous collision. The DART mission will test the feasibility of pushing an asteroid off course by slamming a spacecraft directly into it.

A tweet made by British pop star Dua Lipa explaining the word ‘Autochthonous’ has sparked controversy.

The word simply means ‘of an inhabitant of a place’. Actually, what that has sparked controversy is not the word but the map she has shared along with the explanation.

The map depicts Albania, Kosova and certain regions in Balkan countries as a single territory. Simply, the map supports the expansionist ideology of Albanian nationalism.  

Actually, the pop star has Kosovo roots. She was born to a couple born in Kosovo. But, the star born after they had moved to the UK.

Though the tweet has been criticized severely by those who are against the expansionist attitude of the Kosovo nationalism, it has received tremendous support from those who subscribe the idea of Kosovo nationalism.

Anyway, the tweet has brought the topic of Kosovo nationalism back into the table of global political discussion.

The star has not yet commented about the criticism she has received for her tweeter post.

German court extends support to people’s internet privacy

By 1022 0

A German court has observed that the authorities had too much access to the internet and mobile phone date of people.

The court has ordered the authority to develop a new law to protect the internet privacy of people.

Traditionally, Germans are very vigilant about their privacy laws. They never tolerate any kind of intrusion into their privacy matters.

They fought and dismissed the authoritarian politics of both the Nazi Germany and the post-World War Two East Germany, on this ground.

The latest directive of the court is serious in nature. It is expected to open up a serious debate on this matter.

The country has so far witnessed several movements demanding the protection of the mobile phone and internet date of people.

The court’s observation is expected to pave way for the emergence of a new political movement, which can force the country to introduce a strong law to protect the internet privacy of people.

It is high time to launch a global movement to protect the digital privacy of people. In most countries, the right to digital privacy is still in a primitive stage.

Let’s embrace the right to digital privacy together. Hope that the United Nations will take up the matter seriously.
