Description:
European scientists are turning an aircraft into a laboratory that simulates lunar gravity to prepare astronauts and technology for future moon landings as part of the NASA-led Artemis missions. <br/><br/>The moon is a strange little world. Only about 1.2% the mass of Earth, our planet's companion exerts a much weaker gravitational force on objects on its surface than the parent planet. As a result, an astronaut on the moon's surface feels as if he or she only weighs one sixth of their earthly weight. The same goes for all equipment the astronauts would use. It may sound like no big deal but this feeble gravitational pull creates all sorts of unforeseen problems that are difficult to prepare for in research labs on Earth. There is, however, one way to experience lunar gravity while still in the confines of Earth and explore these challenges before going to the moon: in a parabolic flight.<br/><br/>Credit: Space.com | footage courtesy: European Space Agency/Novespace/NASA<br/>A Future Studios Production

Over the past year alone, there have been 35 landslips in the north of England, causing major disruption to passengers. This new project aims to increase safety and to minimise disruptions caused by heavy rain across the region.<br/><br/>The North East and Yorkshire route is particularly susceptible to these weather-related disruptions, with rainwater from neighbouring land often overflowing onto railway lines, leading to flooding and major delays.<br/><br/>As part of the new project, 40 new dedicated roles are being created to manage and maintain the new systems being put in place.<br/>Investment will also be made into new and existing technology such as remote condition monitoring circuits and CCTV cameras. Over the next five years, Network Rail plans to invest a total of 2.1-billion-pounds in upgrading the region’s railway lines.

Car-crazy customiser Shawn Cormier, from Ontario, Canada, spent five years building the vehicle - whose name is a pun on Frankenstein's monster. The hotrod is constructed around the base of a World War II brand gun cure from 1944, with a Chevy drive train, a small block Chevy turbo 350 trim mission, a standard four gear in the back and the top part of the cab is a 1947 Mercury truck.
