Missiles

After many weeks of N. Koran threats it appears as if they may be coming to their scenes(not really). After weeks of repeated threats a such they have pulled two missiles away from there launch site.

"Historically, North Korea's going through cycles of provocations [that] then come to an end," he said. "That's been helpful. And we do think that they probably heard very loudly from us, and from others, the need to ratchet it back and to lower the temperature."  Pentagon spokesman George Little

"Politicians and pundits painted a pretty bleak picture of the situation in North Korea on the Sunday talk-show circuit, with South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham predicting a "major war" breaking out if Kim Jong Un attacks South Korea."

  In the past few weeks North Korea has thrown out many threats against the U.S.  and South Korea.  Some are saying that if North Korea attacks South there will be a major war. The North is allied with China, so if they attack and in response are attacked China will have to make a decision to join in or not. This could possibly spark a war between China and the U.S. So will the new leader of N. korea continue on this path or will he see reason and stop?

There has been yet another Crash involving what many consider the most beautiful car in the world, a Lambo  or Lamborghini. It was found just 80 mile away form the dealership which it was purchased at, compliantly totaled.

"No cars face more peril from their new owners than Lamborghinis, which tends to be the first choice for those whose wealth exceeds their driving ability and common sense on their best days. The latest evidence in a never-ending series of reports: this crash in California featuring a $220,000 Murcielago, ditched by its owner following a crash that totaled the car after just a few hours with the keys in hand — and now police want some answers."

Smash

I light of the recent events in space a program that is meant to find way to deflect/destroy incoming asteroids has picked a target to test on.

"The joint European/U.S. Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment mission, or AIDA, will work to intercept Didymos in 2022, when the space rock is about 6.8 million miles (11 million kilometers) from Earth, European Space Agency officials announced Friday (Feb. 22)."

However Didymos is not a single asteroid it is two.  They will be hitting the smaller of the two with one satilite while they are recording the information with another. They are doing this in hope of learning how to prevent large asteroids from hitting earth.

"VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict stunned the Roman Catholic Church including his closest advisers on Monday when he announced he would stand down in the first papal abdication in 700 years, saying he no longer had the mental and physical strength to run the Church through a period of major crisis."

Gun contorl

"Senate Judiciary Committee conducts first hearing on proposed gun control law"

There are many people that are for and against more and strictor gun laws, as demistrated in this hearing. However during this hearing the real problems came out. The fact that most all of the mass shootings of late were carried out by mental unstable people. Second  that the law abiding citeten you have nothing to worry about form them it is the criminals that are the problem the people who get their gun illegal.As seen in the past nearly every time a new gun law is put in place more crimes are comited. So the in all realty the true solution is not to have more gun laws, but to one protect our schools and public places, creating more jobs in the proccess, and cracking down on criminals. One way to do this is to have harsher punishment for crimes.

Space Robbing

"Call it space grave robbery for a cause: Imagine scavenging defunct communication satellites for their valuable parts and recycling them to build brand new ones for cheap.

It's the latest pet project from the Pentagon's research wing known for its quirky and sometimes out-there ideas. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is spending $180 million to test technologies that could make this possible."

 As said in the above quote DARPA is the odd one out that does some strange/cool things. With partners they have created things such as the Javelin Missile, XOS1 and XOS2, and this new project to go scavenger on junked satlites, in orbit.
