NASA’s manager for the Commercial Crew program, Steve Stich was up-front about Boeing's and US space agency's differences in opinions about the rescue plan for Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams. After several discussions, the aerospace company and the government body concluded that it was not safe for the astronauts to be aboard the faulty starliner during its journey to Earth.&nbsp;

The Boeing spacecraft is set to embark on the interstellar ride back to Earth without the crew on 5 September and is expected to reach Earth on 7 September. Meanwhile, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were asked to wait at the International Space Station For the SpaceX Crew-9 mission to rescue them in February 2025. The original mission was completely discarded because of the Starliner's defective state due to helium leaks and thruster malfunctions. The astronaut duo was supposed to complete their to-and-fro journey from ISS to Earth on Starliner, but the safety of the astronauts is being prioritised, and the situation is currently not in Boeing’s favour.&nbsp;

NASA’s Steve Stich on Wednesday confirmed in a teleconference that the discussion leading up to the final decision in favour of SpaceX for the rescue mission led to &nbsp;“some tension in the room.” He said, “I would say, anytime you’re in a meeting of this magnitude, where there's this kind of decision, there is some tension in the room.”&nbsp;

Stitch also highlighted that Boeing believed in the model created by them that tried to predict thruster degradation for the rest of the flight. The final decision was based on the ability of the starliner thrusters to bring the astronauts back. Dana Weigel, the ISS program manager of NASA, agreed that Boeing reassured the agency of their belief in the spacecraft. However, she also mentioned that the MNC was not in the same position as them.&nbsp;

Weigel said, "Boeing is not in a position, and it would be unfair of them to ask, to weigh into a risk versus risk trade for this scenario that NASA was weighing, which was bringing them home in the Starliner crewed or coming up with an alternate plan,” and ultimately the ball was in NASA’s court.&nbsp;

Delhi-NCR might face transportation issues on 22 and 23 August because of the strike organised by auto and taxi drivers' unions. They are protesting against app-based cab services including Uber and Ola. The protest including&nbsp;over 15 unions from Delhi-NCR will result in&nbsp;over four lakh auto-rickshaws and taxis remaining off the roads.&nbsp;

The primary reason for the strike is to protest against app-based services for the adverse impact it has created on the livelihoods of auto-rickshaw drivers.&nbsp;

<h2>Why are they protesting?</h2>

The union alleges that the central and state governments have failed to address their issues about inadequate compensation, despite raising concerns multiple times.&nbsp;

Kishan Verma, the president of the Delhi Auto Taxi Transport Congress Union spoke to IANS, and said, they have been writing to the government for several years about the companies like Ola and Uber. He added that the companies present their side, the government presents its side, but no one listens to the auto-rickshaw drivers.&nbsp;

As per Mint, the president of the Delhi Auto Taxi Transport Congress Union has accused private Uber and Ola taxi drivers of getting involved in unethical activities, including smuggling, and alcohol and drug trading.&nbsp;

Kishan Verma said, “Employment for auto and taxi drivers, which is being affected or taken away, must be addressed. Private Ola and Uber taxis are involved in smuggling, and there is also trade in alcohol and drugs. To address these issues, we are going on strike. The organisation has decided that on August 22 and 23, all auto and taxi services in Delhi NCR will be suspended."&nbsp;

He said, “We are not getting anything. E-rickshaws and bikes with private number plates are plying on roads."

A rocket engine exploded during the launch test conducted by a German company Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA) at the UK’s new spaceport in Shetland.&nbsp;

The company conducted the test hoping to launch the UK’s first vertical rocket into orbit. The incident occurred on Monday at a scheduled nine-engine test at SaxaVord Spaceport on the island of Unst. The test was a part of the trials to be conducted before the launch.&nbsp;

RFA informed that the launch pad had been saved and secured. The situation is under control with no injuries. It further said that the Spaceport and authorities are working to find the cause of the failure.&nbsp;

Large flames and plumes of smoke shot horizontally from the bottom of the rocket before the entire structure got engulfed by fire.&nbsp;

The incident occurred three months after the first successful rocket test at the site. RFA fired engines for eight seconds before shutting them down. The SaxaVord Spaceport received approval from the Civil Aviation Authority in December 2023 for orbital launches. They are allowed to perform 30 launches a year. It expects to become the first fully-licensed spaceport of Western Europe permitted to launch vertically into orbit.&nbsp;

SaxaVord Spaceford said that the site was evaluated before the launch, keeping all safety protocols in mind. The spokesman of SaxaVord Spaceport said, "This was a test, and test campaigns are designed to identify issues before the next stage.”

SaxaVord Spaceport was co-founded by Frank and Debbie Strang and is a former RAF radar station. The co-founders purchased the site 15 years ago, considering it to make it into an ecotourism attraction.&nbsp;

La Liga 2024-25: The 94th season of La Liga commenced on 15 August with Athletic Club taking over Gefate in the opening match. Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will lock horns with each other for the biggest football title after a pre-season campaign.&nbsp;

Real Madrid were the record-breaking 36th title winners of the last season, and are again favourites to dominate the 2024-25 season. Carlo Ancelotti’s side signed Kylian Mbappe to bolster their attack in the game. The team will enter the new season without club stars Naco and Toni Kroos.

The star secured a goal and Real Madrid kicked off their 2024-25 campaign with a 2-0 win.&nbsp;

The Los Blancos will clash with Mallorca in an away game on Sunday, to start their La Liga campaign. Barcelona’s campaign started with two victories against Real Madrid, and Manchester City but ended with big defeats against AC Milan and Monaco. To improve the squads, manager Hansi Flick boarded Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor. Team Barcelona will travel to Valencia for their initial game in the La Liga season on Saturday.&nbsp;

Atletico Madrid also look to the title this year after finishing fourth last year. Diego Simone’s slide made one of the biggest deals in the summer transfer window by signing Julian Alvarez for £64m and add-ons. They have also signed Alexander Sorloth to boost their attack in the new season.&nbsp;

La Liga 2024-25: How to watch Real Madrid and Barcelona live, All you should know

An Orangutan in the Dublin Zoo gave birth to a healthy baby on 31 July but has not been feeding her kid. Therefore, to teach her the process of maternal care, the Dublin Zoo has arranged a group of 30 lactating women from Dublin and its surroundings for mother orangutan as a part of its lactation learning process, where they would breastfeed their babies in front of the mother orangutan, to teach her the process.&nbsp;

As per the zoo, she previously gave birth to two kids in 2019 and 2022, but&nbsp;did not have the necessary maternal qualities, due to which both the kids died.&nbsp;

The Dublin Zoo officials said in a statement that Mujur was very interested in spectating the women feeding their children, and she was also shown videos of other women orangutan feeding their kids as a part of her learning process.&nbsp;

According to zoo officials, the learning process has some success because Mujur has started taking good maternal care of her infant but still has difficulty putting him in the right position for feeding. Therefore, the zoo had no other option than to separate the kid from the mother and bottle-feed him.&nbsp;

Zoo officials said, “As is international best practice, we do not typically intervene in these situations to ensure conditions are as natural as possible.” They added, “While we had been hopeful for a better outcome where Mujur could care for the infant effectively, we had also been planning for this scenario.”

The zoo officials decided to send Mujur’s infant to Monkey World, an institution in the United Kingdom that specialises in raising orangutans and also helps raise infants who have been rejected by their mothers.

Zoo officials said, &nbsp;“The Dublin Zoo animal care team is currently looking after the infant around the clock and bottle feeding him, and all involved are extremely proud to be playing a part in the infant’s development.” The officials added that the infant will continue to be cared for by the Dublin Zoo animal care team for another few weeks, before making the trip to his new home. The whole team has already fallen hopelessly in love with him, and it will be difficult to say goodbye, however, we are confident that he is being sent to the best possible place for him to continue to develop and thrive.”

An Orangutan in the Dublin Zoo gave birth to a healthy baby on 31 July but has not been feeding her kid. Therefore, to teach her the process of maternal care, the Dublin Zoo has arranged a group of 30 lactating women from Dublin and its surroundings for mother orangutan as a part of its lactation learning process, where they would breastfeed their babies in front of the mother orangutan, to teach her the process.

As per the zoo, she previously gave birth to two kids in 2019 and 2022, but did not have the necessary maternal qualities, due to which both the kids died. The Dublin Zoo officials said in a statement that Mujur was very interested in spectating the women feeding their children, and she was also shown videos of other women orangutan feeding their kids as a part of her learning process. According to zoo officials, the learning process has some success because Mujur has started taking good maternal care of her infant but still has difficulty putting him in the right position for feeding. Therefore, the zoo had no other option than to separate the kid from the mother and bottle-feed him.

AI Video of Trump and Musk Grooving to Bee Gees' 'Stayin' Alive' Goes Viral

The strange forms of small asteroids Dimorphos and Selam have fascinated astronomers for a long time. A recent study has revealed that these unusual shapes are not as rare as once thought, suggesting that these moonlets would be encountered more commonly.&nbsp;

As per new computer models, the final form of these moonlets depends upon parameters such as what type of collision occurs with the debris disc and the density of the parent asteroid.&nbsp;

<h2>Formation of Binary asteroids&nbsp;</h2>

Binary asteroids are essentially pairs of asteroids that resemble a miniature Earth-moon system and are common in our cosmic neighbourhood.

For example, NASA's 2022 Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission focused on the Didymos-Dimorphous duo. According to traditional theories, these binary moonlet asteroids form when parent asteroids shed some of their mass, which then come together and shape a smaller satellite.&nbsp;

<h2>The mystery behind moonlet shapes&nbsp;</h2>

Generally, a moonlet asteroid adopts a prolate shape, similar to upright, blunt-ended footballs as they orbit their parent asteroids. Some moonlets, however, have very unusual shapes. For example, Dimorphous was shaped like an oblate spheroid, a sphere flattened at the pole and extended around the centre, resembling a watermelon, before it got impacted by the DART mission.&nbsp;

Similarly, Selam, a recently discovered moonlet of the Dinkinesh asteroid, consists of two connected rocky spheres. The shape of Salem has also puzzled astronomers, and according to a few of them, the shapes could not be explained easily.

<h2>Shape formation revealed by computer models</h2>

To unearth the mystery of these strange shapes, the astronomer John Wimarsson, and his team prepared two sets of detailed computer models. The first set replicates the change of shapes of parent asteroids as they spin rapidly.&nbsp;

The second set simulated a doughnut-shaped zone of debris disk. The researchers kept track of the interaction and movements of fragments as they experienced collisions and gravitational tugs. Two types of parent asteroids were considered: one representing "rubber-ducky" Ryugu and another Didymos.&nbsp;

<h2>Factors influencing the final shape of the moonlet</h2>

According to a study published in the Journal Icarus on 20 July, the two main factors influencing the final shape are the gravitational force applied by the parent asteroid and the type of collisions in the debris disk.&nbsp;

The density of the parent asteroid plays a vital role in the shape of the moonlet. Denser asteroids, like Didymos, spin faster and create wider debris disks, causing moonlets to form farther from the parent asteroid. This distance is known as the Roche limit, which helps the moonlet to maintain its shape as it gradually grows through the fusion and collisions with other debris.

Moonlets forming near the parent asteroid tend to be ripped apart by the gravitational force of parent asteroids, making it difficult to retain the prolate shapes. On the other hand, moonlets forming at or far from the Roche limit are likely to acquire oblate shapes as they are less influenced by the gravity of parent asteroids.&nbsp;
