China plans to crash a spacecraft into a distant asteroid - The
Economist [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=89325&nl=daily]
SPACE ROCKS collide with Earths atmosphere all the time. The vast
majority are too small to do any damage, but the risk of a larger
asteroid (or comet) wiping out a city is one that space agencies
around the world are taking seriously. The first goal of such would-be
planetary defenders is detection: finding all objects capable of
wreaking such damage and confirming that they are not on a collision
course with Earth. The other goal is testing technologies that could
either destroy such asteroids or else, more plausibly, deflect them
away from the planet.

Election 2024 Live Updates: America Decides Between Kamala Harris and
Donald Trump - The New Yorker [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=89325&nl=daily]
Tens of millions of Americans are casting their votes today in the
Presidential race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, one of the
closest and most consequential in modern history. In the final days of
the campaign, the candidates have presented starkly different visions
for the future of the country, with Trump fuelling anti-migrant and
anti-trans sentiment while also baselessly casting doubt on the
integrity of the results. Harris, who became the Democratic nominee
after President Joe Biden withdrew, closed her bid with appeals to
unity and a focus on policies intended to strengthen the economy and
the middle class. In the Senate, the Republicans need to pick up two
seats in order to take control; in the House, Democrats will seek to
regain the majority they narrowly lost in the 2022 midterms.
