Elon Musk Set to Become the World's First-Ever Trillionaire Very Soon
Elon Musk, the owner of the electric car company Tesla and the space exploration wing SpaceX, is going to be the world's first-ever trillionaire according to Analysts at Morgan Stanley. Although most of his net worth, currently around $241bn comes from selling electric cars, the investment bank forecasts that his becoming a trillionaire will be a reality soon because of SpaceX, which will also be the most valued company on the planet. In January this year, he became the world's richest man, overtaking Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, whose net worth is around $200bn.

THE LOUIS MOINET SPACE REVOLUTION (REVISITED)
When developing a new watch, a brand can spend weeks, months or even years bringing its ideas to fruition. A simple ‘animation’ of an existing product, for instance, swapping one dial colour for another, is relatively straightforward. However, a timepiece that is seemingly overflowing with innovation can take an inordinate amount of time to bring to market.

Unsolved Mysteries in Physics
Quantum Entanglement, described by Albert Einstein as “far-fetched” is a state in which two particles from different parts of the world are connected and reflect the behavior and status of their partners. String theory enables scientists to harmonize the laws of particles (called quantum mechanics) with the laws of space and time (called general relativity) and to combine the four basic forces of nature into a single entity. This sophisticated theory explains that particles in the universe (knowing very little about them) are grouped and scattered throughout the vast universe.

Space Exploration
The opportunity to explore space delighted people from many walks of life, but only world governments were able to afford the high cost of sending people and equipment into space by the late 20th and early 20th centuries. At the end of the space race, a new idea of investing in space exploration emerged, focusing on improved space use to improve life on Earth. To calculate the benefits of space exploration, NASA calculated that 444,000 people were saved, 14,000 jobs were created, $ 5 billion in revenue, and $ 6.2 billion was raised through NASA research programs.

Space Tourism
Aviation tourism has taken on a new dimension since the flight of the first astronaut, American businessman Dennis Tito, on April 28, 2001, when opportunities for marital or tourism became available. Many space tourism companies are planning to build underground cars and space cities in the next two decades, invest millions, and believe that the limited tourism industry is on the verge of promotion. Criticism has intensified when Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos told reporters Tuesday on his first trip to space that Amazon customers and employees would pay for his flight.

What's in a Name?
Everyone knows that Martians come from Mars. That's straightforward enough. Beyond that, things get fiddly. Just what do you call someone from Jupiter, Venus or Pluto? What of the asteroid belt? Even in professional astronomy circles, people argue over the correct use of demonyms and adjectives for astronomical bodies. Much of the terminology used today originates from alchemical, astrological and classical works, and the growth of science fiction has only made it more confused. Of course, nowadays we know the likelihood of finding little green men on Mars or Mercury is slim to none, but the use of adjectival forms is necessary to describe features on the planets or their satellites. Plus, there's still fiction - everyone loves a good, old-fashioned Martian invasion.
