7. Honeybee Robotics, part of Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, has received funding to develop an ambitious project for the Moon. We are talking about creating “street lights” 100 meters high, which exceeds the size of the Statue of Liberty. The project is designed to solve the problem of long lunar nights, lasting about two Earth weeks. This poses a serious threat to future researchers relying on solar energy. In a promotional video, principal investigator Vishnu Sanigepalli explained how the devices work. The massive structures will store solar energy during the lunar day and then illuminate the surrounding area with powerful floodlights during the two-week night.
8. An unusual and in-demand profession has appeared in China - slipmaker. These professionals help young people with insomnia relax and fall asleep through calming conversations and emotional support. The growing popularity of this profession is associated with an increase in the number of young Chinese experiencing sleep problems. Many of them work in a rigid 9am to 9pm culture, six days a week, which leads to stress and sleep disturbances. A slipmaker's hourly rate can reach 36 USD, and daily earnings can reach up to 4 200 USD, not including tips.
