  • What is the significance of the missiles that President Biden approved for Ukraine?

    -The missiles, known as ATACMS, are powerful long-range weapons that can target locations deep inside Russian territory, a step that escalates the conflict and provides Ukraine with more advanced military support.

  • How has Russia responded to the use of these missiles inside its territory?

    -Russia, under President Vladimir Putin, has warned that any strikes inside Russia with these advanced missiles could lead to a nuclear response, heightening the risk of further escalation in the conflict.

    -Cities are investing millions in taxpayer funds to help finance sports stadiums, with the public contribution averaging around $500 million per project in the past decade. These projects can sometimes cost over $1 billion.

  • What is NASA’s new 4G network on the Moon designed for?

    -NASA’s 4G network on the Moon, developed in collaboration with Nokia, will assist in guiding lunar rovers as they search for ice on the Moon's South Pole.
