3I/ATLAS Will Be Closest to Earth on the December 19th

 The mysterious 28 mile rock approaching the sun at a speed making it the fast object in the solar system is also emitting a lock of CO2- an anomolously high 8 to 1 ratio of CO2 to H2O. That hasn't been observed before in comets. As it reaches it closest point to the sun in October it will also be invisible to the Earth on the far side as it will be just in a line on the other side of the star.

Though the object is not a danger to the Earth as its trajectory is nowhere close to one that would crash into the Earth, some have speculated that it could be some kind of vehicle for extra-terrestrials since it exhibits characteristics very uncommon for one of the more familiar kind of visitors to the inner solar system. 3I/ATLAS's origin and composition is so far unknown.

A Harvard physicist has suggested the object could be nuclear powered, yet it seems to be more of a hyper-fossil fuel carbon super-Toronado with the copious gas it exhausts.

Send the I.S.S. on a Slow Journey for Earth-Mars Orbit

 If the I.S.S. is becoming a hazard because of it's condition, would it be possible to send the space station to orbit between Mars and Earth after being sealed, or sent on a one-way mission to the sun or Pluto, instead of crashing and burning in the Earth's atmosphere?

It is good to repurpose material when possible instead of disposing of it. Some day the I.S.S. could be a valuable addition to some collector of space station classics living somewhere in the outer solar system.

Global Population May Have Reached Ten Billion Humans Already

 Apparently social scientists have been under-counting the rural population of the world by 50% to 84% for quite a while. Forty percent of the people of Earth live in rural areas, so 50% of that is 20% of the population.  At least that much isn't counted on surveys. With 8.2 billion being the official number for the population this year, that means there may be more than 10 to 12 billion people on Earth already.

Democrats may seek to find a way to let those billions move to California in order to win elections.

Gemini Said That Even After Nancy Grace Roman ST Just 12 percent of the Observable Universe Will Have Been Observed
