On a street in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, a surveillance camera documented what happened to a 34-year-old woman named Eliza Fletcher on Friday morning. Memphis police say someone in a black SUV hijacked her while she was jogging near Zack Carlin Street on Central Avenue, around 4:30 a.m. Friday.
The University of Memphis asked police for help in the case shortly following Fletcher was reported missing.
Life on Mars may be so possible, that NASA’s Moxie instrument has succeeded in producing oxygen on the Red Planet.
The instrument has created one of the critical components of human life for the first time ever, and Moxie has extracted oxygen on the fourth planet from the sun seven times since it made its first landing in February last year as part of NASA’s pre-probe mission.
The project will teach future systems on a “larger scale” to make a planet other than Earth habitable, said Michael Hecht, the principal investigator for the MOXIE mission at MIT’s Haystack Observatory, in a press release.
“This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planetary body, and chemically transforming them into something useful for a human mission,” said Jeffrey Hoffman, professor of practice in the MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
The study observed how the small-sized instrument can produce oxygen through different atmospheric conditions, including day and night.
Hecht added that they cannot do the job during dusk or dawn as temperatures change dramatically.
“We have a great idea that allows us to do that, and once we test that in the lab, we can get to this latest milestone to show that we can really run at any time.”
Professor Hoffman also said: “The atmosphere of Mars is more diverse than that of Earth, the density of the air can vary by two times during the year, the temperature can vary by 100 degrees, and one of the goals is to show that we can run in all seasons.”
Experts pointed out that the longest time that astronauts can spend on the surface of Mars is 100 minutes currently, as researchers revealed their ability to carry 50 grams of oxygen.
Although the current version of the Moxie is small enough to fit into the persistence wagon, the researchers revealed that eventually, a large-scale oxygen plant would be needed to carry larger units of oxygen, ideally, these units would operate “continuously”.
They also noted that to adequately support humanity, “computers, space suits and habitats” must be brought from Earth.

After two very active free practice sessions on Friday, the third and final free practice session at the Dutch Grand Prix was a very quiet one as the teams fine-tuned their cars for qualifying.
quiet start
The start of the third and final free practice sessions for the Dutch Grand Prix was quiet, with only five drivers taking to the track in the first ten minutes and with only Sergio Perez marking lap, with a time of 1’13”603.
After ten minutes, more drivers chose to go out on the track, as was the case with Max Verstappen. On his first attempt, the local rider managed to lower the stopwatch to the 1’12”309.
The Ferraris also rolled on soft tires and Charles Leclerc was the one who marked the second fastest time, with a 1’12”720this weather being worse than the previous day.
Meanwhile, the Mercedes continued to show a very good pace on this circuit, being Lewis Hamilton third and George Russell fifth, just behind Verstappen and the two Red Bulls.
Last tests for classification
The session stabilized around half an hour and there were only five drivers on track. It wasn’t until there were 20 minutes left that more drivers, like Carlos Sainz, chose to go out to do their last test before qualifying. #55 set the fastest time of the weekend with a time of 1’11”971.
However, his time was surpassed by Charles Leclerc, reaching the 1’11”632. In addition, George Russell was closely followed, just 66 thousandths.
Fernando Alonso he had not set a lap on the soft tires in the entire session, due to testing the medium tyres, and managed to place fifth with a time of 1’12”327.
Finally, Charles Leclerc was the driver who completed the fastest lap before qualifying, with a time of 1’11”632. Russell managed to nail the lap and be just 66 thousandths away, while Verstappen was third to two tenths.
Carlos Sainz finished the Free Practice 3 fourth, with a time 339 thousandths behind his teammate. Fernando Alonso finished seventh, with his time of 1’12”327.
