    She said this during the airing of the Kyle and Jackie O. show, according to the Daily Mail, UNN reports .

    Elon Musk predicts that a million people will be able to live on Mars by 2050. The head of SpaceX and Tesla plans to send a small group of astronauts to the Red Planet by the end of the decade using his Starship, the largest rocket created to date.

    Musk hopes that the colony of men and women will eventually be able to reproduce, increasing the Martian population. However, scientists believe that the difficulties associated with reproduction on Mars make this virtually impossible. К

    Kelly Weinersmith, a biologist and writer from Charlottesville, Virginia, notes that many people planning to colonize Mars do not understand the complexities of the reproduction process. In an interview with the Times, Weinersmith, who wrote the book City on Mars 2023 with her husband, said: “Billionaires see it as an engineering problem. They think that if you just build a big enough rocket, biology will solve all the problems – but that's not the case at all.

    The Sol Spin ride at Knott's Berry Farm Park caused 22 people to hang in the air for more than 2 hours due to a technical malfunction. Mechanics used a crane to evacuate all passengers, and two were hospitalized.

    In the state of California, 22 people were stuck for two hours on a faulty Sol Spin ride at Knott's Berry Farm.

    Writes UNN with reference to ABC News.

    On Monday, 22 people were stuck in the air for more than two hours at the Sol Spin ride at Knott's Berry Farm in California due to a technical malfunction.

    Park mechanics managed to lower the ride to the ground and evacuate passengers without serious injuries. However, some of them left the scene in wheelchairs, while others limped away. Two female visitors were hospitalized for additional examination “for safety reasons,” although their health condition was not immediately specified.

    According to Knott's Berry Farm, around 14:00, the Sol Spin ride experienced technical problems that stopped it in the middle of the cycle. The evacuation of guests was completed at 16:30 after mechanics used a crane to lower the ride to the ground. At the time of the stop, it was in a horizontal position, and none of the passengers were hanging upside down.

    The cause of the malfunction has not yet been reported. The Sol Spin attraction, located in the Fiesta Village area of the park, is a high-speed entertainment carousel that rotates in three directions simultaneously.

  • Man Utd: Amorim given ‘more modest budget’ than Ten Hag as INEOS hope two players ‘thrive’

    Man Utd: Amorim given ‘more modest budget’ than Ten Hag as INEOS hope two players ‘thrive’

    Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim with the Man Utd badge

    Man Utd are looking to end years of transfer mistakes by giving Ruben Amorim a ‘more modest budget’ compared to Erik ten Hag, according to reports.

    The Red Devils sacked Ten Hag at the end of October after the Dutchman could only guide them to three wins in their first nine Premier League matches of the season.

    Despite securing another four points in two games under interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, new head coach Amorim will start with Man Utd 13th place in the Premier League.

    Amorim was officially announced on November 1 but he could not start until last Monday after taking charge of his final match as Sporting Lisbon boss in a 4-2 win over Braga.

    Speculation is already rife about who INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe could look to buy in order to support Amorim in the January transfer window with numerous names mooted as potential additions.

    However, the Daily Telegraph claim that Amorim will ‘operate on a more modest budget’ than Ten Hag as the Portuguese coach will be tasked with ‘maximising the untapped potential in the squad as the club aim to end the damaging and costly cycle of mass overhauls’.

    The report adds:

    ‘The new United hierarchy have no plans under Amorim to rip up a squad they feel is capable of delivering far more and are determined to move away from a culture of persistent upheaval they believe to be financially unsustainable and destructive to coherent squad building.

    ‘Denmark striker Rasmus Hojlund and England midfielder Mason Mount are cited as just two examples of players United are hoping can thrive in a new environment under the charismatic Portuguese, who will take charge of his first game as the club’s new head coach away to Ipswich Town on Sunday.

    ‘United have averaged five new signings every summer for the past 10 years under four different managers with vastly different ideas of how they want to play. All have had little success to show for the huge expenditure.

    ‘While Amorim is expected to be operating under a more modest transfer budget next summer than his predecessor Ten Hag did during his 2½-year reign, when he spent more than £600 million, United want to implement a more sustainable structure where waste is limited, the churn of players greatly reduced and more talent realised.

    ‘United feel there are plenty of players in the squad who, with better coaching, attention and support in the right system and set-up, have a much higher ceiling than they may have shown previously, and the club hope Amorim can unlock that potential.

    ‘Equally, there is a feeling there may be more experienced players who also stand to benefit considerably from Amorim’s arrival and others who find they are given a new lease of life in potentially reimagined roles.’
