In this classroom, each student should not only have the opportunity to practice but also actively participate in discussions, creating an inclusive and deeply participatory learning environment.

Teaching others is a more powerful learning technique than re-reading or summarizing

ssues that keep teams from fulfilling their potential, as process loss and these include social loafing (when individuals put forth less effort when working in a group) and groupthink (when group members’ desire for conformity can lead to bad decisions)

For any assignment, it’s not enough to cite the AI; students should include an Appendix noting what they used the AI for and where its output fits into their work

you should try it out a number of times for your specific topic or concept and see how it reacts

ecause the AI can “get it wrong” students need to be aware of those limits and discussing this inclass is oneway to highlight its limitations

the tutor's value is not merely subject knowledge, but also their capacity to prompt the student to make an effort, pay close attention to the material, make sense of new concepts, andconnect what they know with new knowledge

utoring involves small group or one-on-one sessions with a tutor focusing on skills building.

hat feedback should be considered critically, and students should be asked to articulate how and why the feedback they received is effective (or not).

while the feedback may be helpful it should be coupled with an in-class discussion and clear guidelines

feed-up, feedback, and feed-forward. Feed-up serves to clearly articulatethe goals and expectations students are to meet. Feedbackreflects students' current progress and pinpoints areas requiring further development; it provides actionable advice, helpingstudents to achievetheir goals. Feed-forward helps teachers plan and tweak their lessons based on student work

European space officials like the Artemis program and are seeking areas for greater involvement. This is drawing them closer to NASA.

However, the more significant reason is probably a political one

anuary, Josef Aschbacher, director general of the European Space Agency, said his focus remains on the International Space Station Partnership with NASA, Russia, Canada, and Japan. "For the moment we have neither the budgetary nor the political, let’s say, green light or intention to engage in a second space station—that is participating on the Chinese space station,"

Nearly six years ago the European Space Agency surprised its longtime spaceflight partners at NASA, as well as diplomatic officials at the White House, with an announcement that some of its astronauts were training alongside Chinese astronauts. The goal was to send European astronauts to China's Tiangong space station by 2022.

A new study argues that the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space—known as the Kármán line—is 20 kilometers, or about 20%, closer than scientists thought

Until now, most scientists have said that outer space is 100 kilometers away.

More serious challenges for balloons might be regulatory and political.

This kind of technology could eventually be a threat—or a complement—to existing space data businesses.

The benefits include higher resolution imagery: World View’s investor presentation claims sensor resolutions of 3 to 5 centimeters per pixel, compared to the 50 cm per pixel resolution that is top of line in space-based Earth observation. The balloons also offer more persistent monitoring by floating above one location for weeks at a time, whereas Earth observation satellites can typically gather data a few times a day at most. World View already has a partnership with Maxar, a leading satellite firm with an extensive remote-sensing business.

Axiom, a space company that flies passengers to the International Space Station and is developing its own space station, said this week that most of the demand for passenger services is coming from governments without their own space programs, not tourists with deep pockets.

the project is still on the drawing board, with hopes to finalize its design by 2025. The goal is to fly the vehicle in 2027—but, as with most space technology forecasts, that’s an optimistic projection.

The US has only put a nuclear reactor in space once before, through an Air Force program called SNAPSHOT.

But the dream of space fanatics is a proper nuclear rocket, one using a fission reactor to run an engine two to three times more powerful than any motor dependent on combusting fossil fuels. Launched into space on a conventional rocket, it could shorten trips to Mars or give the Space Force unprecedented maneuverability. Last week, NASA and DARPA, the US military’s advanced tech lab, announced a collaborative project called DRACO to build and test exactly such a vehicle.

Deep space missions regularly rely on nuclear power, using the heat emitted by radioactive substances to generate electricity without an atom-splitting chain reaction. NASA’s Perseverance rover, currently exploring the surface of Mars, is powered by one of these devices.

Asteroid miners prepare for launch. AstroForge, which wants to pluck platinum-group metals from near-Earth objects, plans to launch a payload in April that will demonstrate the ability to mine metals in space. The company also expects to launch another spacecraft onboard Intuitive Machines’ lunar mission later this year that will fly to a target asteroid and assess its viability for future mining.

Support digitalisation of the African economyThe BMZ aims to effectively support the rapidly developing digital economy, for example through the Make-IT in Africa initiative, the establishment of digicentres and activities to assist African initiatives including the Smart Africa Alliance. It helps African partner countries to enhance the economic and political framework for digital transformation, to create digital markets, provide secure, universal internet access and bridge the “digital divide” within the population. It is also fostering legal standards and data privacy regulations, for example through Team Europe Initiatives such as the African European Digital Innovation Bridge Network and the EU-AU Data Flagship

The Outer Space Treaty of 1967, space law’s foundational text, is showing its age. It dates back to the era when only governments had access to space. And it states that no claims of sovereignty can be made, on the Moon or elsewhere. Efforts to update the treaty to establish rules around resource extraction have run into the lunar regolith. America has refused to sign the Moon Agreement, adopted by 18 countries in 1984, whereas China and Russia have rejected America’s latest proposal, the Artemis accords of 2020.
