Hope spacecraft enters Mars orbit, making history for UAE
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) made history on Tuesday when it became the first Arab nation to have a spacecraft reach Mars. Following a seven-month flight to the red planet, the probe dubbed “Amal,” meaning “Hope,” entered Mars orbit after successfully completing a challenging braking maneuver that allowed it to be caught by Mars’ gravity. The mission team tweeted confirmation of the spacecraft’s milestone with words: “7 years of work crowned with success!” 7 years of work crowned with success! The Hope Probe is now in Mars' orbit. #ArabsToMars #HopeProbe pic.twitter.com/IJdRTDcWF9 — Hope Mars Mission (@HopeMarsMission) February 9, 2021 Rather than send a rover to the surface of the red planet as the upcoming NASA and Chinese missions plan to do, Hope will stay in orbit, using its plethora of scientific instruments to build a complete picture of the martian atmosphere and provide scientists with new data about the planet’s four seasons, climate, … [Read more...] about Hope spacecraft enters Mars orbit, making history for UAE
After using the Galaxy S21+, Samsung’s right to erase the S20+ from history

Go to its online store in the U.S., and there are a few discounted, unlocked S20+ models remaining, while the S20 is listed as out of stock everywhere. It’s the same in the U.K., where if you try to buy an S20 or S20+, the store tells you, “We are sorry, but this product is currently not available.” Does the S20 deserve to be swept away so quickly? After all, it’s barely a year old, and many companies (Samsung included) often continue selling the previous year’s model for a while following the launch of a replacement. I returned to take a look at the Galaxy S20+ , alongside the new Galaxy S21+, to see if it really should be consigned to the history books. Good — and bad — design Samsung really doesn’t want you to buy the remaining S20+ phones. At the time of writing, a discounted S20+ costs $1,075 from Samsung, down from $1,200, while the sparkly new S21+ is currently $915 , down from … [Read more...] about After using the Galaxy S21+, Samsung’s right to erase the S20+ from history
