we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. no magic. words for pursuit. and some great cultural memorials to boot. we haven't thought of investing in a space ship you might need one someday because the future of business may well lie in the vast expanses of the universe someone who might be able to get you safely out of the atmosphere is a lot musk the tesla bosses company space x. has already successfully delivered astronauts to the international space station

and getting there isn't even that expensive at least not compared with the early days of manned space flight nasa is apollo missions of the $960.00 s. cost nearly $330000000.00 euros a shot of space x. round trip cost a mere $43000000.00 the economic boom in space is our topic today here on made the business magazine on t.w. . now long before space was recognized as a higher dimension for investors people saw the universe as a mysterious and often menacing realm it was the origin of asteroids that frequently plays across the sky and sometimes even fall to earth causing huge destruction now we know that these celesio chunks of rock are incredibly rich in valuable resources that are difficult to mine here on our planet forward thinking entrepreneurs are looking beyond earth because a lot of it out there here's chris carla on. mining metals and specks.

on a fish gives off a bridge or doesn't 13 an asteroid entered earth's atmosphere over russia all. through. it created a fireball brighter than the sun hankie and. it's shockwave injured more than 1000 people. for. good use like these show why asteroids it was a great threat to life on earth but they're also the reason why some see them as a golden opportunity this click was watched millions of times on personal computers and smart phones. such small and powerful devices contain metals like gold silver and platinum all. these resources are not just breaking down in the most conductive durable and my level of elements. they are highly

important for magazine. aerospace. and laughter and technology. but the painting them is an ugly process and mine industries and buyers ecosystems displaces communities. in greek stocks graced . that and there's a tragic irony meters to make solar panels hydrogen in wind turbines. the more the wall goes green the more toxic mining meets. our planet is not the only source of the special elements and. the key to spearing earth does have a stating my may lie in the planet's autumn a threat that. asteroids. this guy certainly is no longer living. his crysler weiqi

he was the co-founder in chief asteroid miner off planet are you resources. the 1st company formed we'd be explicit goal of mining asteroids is he even ever an asteroid named after him so i'm very grateful. some of the celestial bodies close to work i'm kind of will treasure troves. golden flocking all are very heavy and over time they sank into a private school. that's why they're so rain on your arse crossed. but again because the actor is don't have much gravity that didn't happen on asteroids and in some cases there are 100 times as. much as a 15 for example i'm not sure the best close to our planet was this thing needed to have more plotting and then it's ever been mined the earth. takes 16 cycle.

which walter said to be worth $700.00 do yourself dollars until now these were just your practical because space travel was just too expensive but that's changing. a seat on a space x. walk at least 3 times cheaper than it was a spaceship started then you come to rush. into doesn't and larry page the co-founder of google put his wealth behind planetary resources if you're after and you company joined the race to why not stories in 2017 nasa announced he would pay a visit to the psychic. he was. she's leaving the 18 stone and she's the one in leading such a mission. thank you wash in the rubble. but although the programme is not about the asteroid mining it could lay the groundwork for a more sustainable future. crazy

as he sounds mining asteroids might not only be feasible but also much more sustainable that mining earth is. one which is interesting. and is a researcher who has actually crunched the numbers. actually it turns out the answers seems to be yes he estimates that there are fewer necessary to go and bring back one kilogram of platinum would release 150 kilograms of sewage into the earth's atmosphere terrestrial mining generates 40000 kilograms of c which you so hostile at mining could be hundreds times less polluting essentially the main reason is there's almost no other substance you can mine which generates that much of our greenhouse gas and outsourcing mining to space could decrease pollution on

earth but there is an economic problem. long term. in terms of economics it's not profitable the problem if you mine like 5 times of the platinum you have on earth right now means that the market prices were in the crash you can sell of the much more price which means you diminishing your profit margin so you're operating your infrastructure the loss and that makes a very unattractive for investors carbon taxes in new technologies could change this equation but it would still take several years for space mining to become profitable. investors decided to not wait for long the world doesn't quite support a business model that takes more than a $100000000.00 and more than 10 years to to make a return on that investment and maybe a trip. if you just company feel to tweeze enough funds forcing you to abandon its

call of mining asteroids. just like in california flash space miners do not realize their dream of out of the small 12. planetary resources didn't succeed in their ultimate goal to mine asteroids but i think it succeeded in a lot of ways the steps to get there there wasn't much gold in california after all yesterday said they are succeeding something else. in the rush to get to different gears they created the infrastructure that accelerated the development of the west. today space miners are doing something similar. we are as a world a lot closer to using resources from space than we were when the company was founded in 2009 degree. there. and i think in some ways the.

new inventions can make space mining economical just a few decades ago the very technology you're using to watch this video seemed impossible. now we can use satellites to beam the internet everywhere on the planet . 101520 years a lot can happen one day money goes from a seem. a bit like using candles to the top of. most such galactic business prospects will inevitably result in competition between companies and between countries who do the many treasures floating around in the universe belong to my colleague and noise house has been looking into that question and he's discovered that the matter has been regulated so it's off. who

owns our space. you might think it's easy hop on a rocket land on some celestial body plant a flag and it's yours or rather the country you work for. you think again when neil armstrong planted a u.s. flag on the moon in 1969 that didn't make it american appropriating land in space is actually banned under international law under the outer space treaty of 1987 more than 130 countries have signed the document it says all countries are free to explore space but not to appropriate it for themselves outer space basically belongs to us all the treaty bans weapons of mass destruction from space and says it's use shall be the province of all mankind that seems to rule out commercial ventures up there but the treaty is not comprehensive and has been overtaken by

developments it was born of the cold war between the us and the soviet union. nowadays china india and the european union are all drooling over the economic opportunity space might represent for now there are no traffic regulations there is no obligation to clear up space junk there is no international space authority with flight control functions for rockets and satellite launches each country goes its own way the odd entrepreneur just ignores the outer space treaty dennis hope of the united states says he found a loophole and ownership of the moon he sells plots of land up there 50000 square meters go for just $39.00 euros 90 you could get a nice certificate staking a claim is another matter on the internet you can also buy a house on mars for 890000000 euros but you can't move in until 2060.

real estate natural resources tourism business opportunities might soon abound. but what if some aliens turn up and say the entire cosmos is there. well if there is life out there you have got to wonder if we should bother getting in touch the space around our planet is already pretty crowded enough without visitors from another galaxy not only is there the junk left over by human space missions past but it's also becoming overrun with satellites over the last few decades that number has skyrocketed if you'll excuse the pun and 958 there were 2 satellites in orbit and the year 2000 they were almost 800 but last year we crossed the 2 and a half 1000 mark the number has been growing exponentially and it looks set to keep going. to widen. the new era

is doing as commercial enterprises drive advances in space technology with ambitious projects. even musk of tesla wants to outdo nasa with his space x. company. and fly people to no not the moon but mars. space technology and space flight are essential to modern life as electricity from the grid we couldn't do without them. and their key to new and future technologies . in the european union 10 percent of economic activity already depends on satellite navigation. the e.u. launched its copernicus program in 2014 it satellites observe the earth from orbit

it's a publicly funded venture. the data the satellites send home would enable the development of new applications for example software to enhance the fuel efficiency of ships. new jobs will be created. satellite data can be used to make marketable products. remote sensing solutions is a company based in munich that specializes in environmental monitoring it's not exactly a high margin industry copernicus has boosted revenues here as its data are freely available to all. the company uses them to create valuable information when the dot in the data are free or cheap the entire process of generating information is cheaper and people are more willing to buy me a bit. so colorful. clients include nature conservation groups such as

w w f and a number of governments. one focus of the company's work is monitoring the impact of land use and climate change on vegetation. satellites can capture images of large swathes of land. vegetation in the sun hell can be tracked from season to season the. astronauts say they have a very different relationship to earth once they've been to the i assess the view from a satellite is a bit similar we can see how africa is doing or south america the view from far away enables us to see connections more clearly and we by the rich own. the copernicus satellites are big and heavy they weigh tons it takes years to build them and each is unique. and many components 1st have to be specially developed that makes these satellites expensive hundreds of millions of euro as each.

unlike many satellites they can be as small as a wine bottle. the advent of small satellites marks a new era. there are a lot cheaper but still provide important services. planet labs is an earth imaging company in san francisco that already uses many satellites to photograph the globe. students throughout europe are learning to build the little devices one class of small satellite nano satellites a team of berlin's technical university devised the project to deploy 4 of them to enable faster transfer of large amounts of data. they were launched 2 years ago.

small satellites have the potential to revolutionize earth monitoring as well as global telecommunications. to start up smart small satellite systems does what its name suggests it's a cube sats can exchange precise information about their orientation so as to point in the desired direction they cost tens of thousands of euro's a piece. in your tooth it's the miniaturization of electronic components that enable such development militant satellites may be getting smaller but that doesn't mean their overall performances are declining one can deploy a lot of small ones for the price of a big one the company has launched 4 of its cube sat so far they're flying in formation to test 3 d. typologies for scientific measurements to do that they have to communicate with

each other negotiate and organize their positioning autonomously. this test is a significant step towards creating intelligent 3 d. satellite configurations. one application could be mapping the ash emitted in a volcanic eruption that would be of great value to commercial aviation. small satellites often put together using standard components. so it's easy to make a lot of them. and also to switch out components depending on the intended use. space x. is planning to send 12000 small satellites into orbit as part of its starving project to provide internet to remote locations around the world. big projects like that spur the automation of satellite manufacturing it's comparable to what's happened in the auto industry in this regard us companies are far ahead of ones in europe. we in europe shouldn't just give up but aim to be players in these markets

of it's where the future lies the economic and commercial potential is going to be huge after his put into the i got a sort. analysts say the space industry is set for stellar growth. revenues in 2018 amounted to $360000000000.00. some forecasts say they could reach $2.00 trillion dollars in 2040. rocket factory oxburgh wants a piece of the expanding space pie. it's developing a launcher for small satellites a party 2 rocket specifically designed for that purpose. until now small satellites have to hitch a ride if there's room when big launches such as arianna set off into space. it's not very expensive but the waiting list can be long.

island was launched as a big launcher is like a bus you have to weigh took every. onboard a small launcher is like a taxi it to choose where you want to go more cheaply and efficiently that's great for creating a small satellite constellation. about 100 companies are developing many launches many will probably fall by the wayside 3 are based in germany rocket factory aims to offer affordable and flexible satellite launches 10000000 euros a shot compared to 130000000 for an ariana. to keep costs down its launchers will contain many standard components from the auto industry. but it's designing the propulsion systems from scratch and will 3 d. print a lot of the parts. yet.

big launches such as arianna a very complex and post lots of expensive custom components they take ages to build by contrast our f.a.a. aims to develop and deploy its 1st launcher within just 3 years. be financially viable with one launch a month but we want to see a launch a week the whole thing should be so industrialised and automated that it's no longer anything special flying between braman in munich is not a big deal but it was a century ago we want to see the same thing with rockets keep an off site. small satellite launch vehicles are set to make getting into orbit more affordable potentially opening up the heavens to a whole range of new ventures. the vastness of space presents another problem for any potential business activity where the logistics of covering huge distances in a practical amount of time if only there was some sort of system like teleportation

that works in star trek but could it work in reality my colleague has been investigating. a long time ago when space ships were made of paper and plastic. and it snowed powdered aluminum during the de materialization process people and things were magically beamed about in star trek films. how nice would it be if we could be in ourselves around the globe teleportation instead of airplanes and c o 2 emissions think about how beneficial it would be for the climate along in today's physics in fact teleportation is no longer science fiction. i'm always surprised about all the weird things that happen for the. mind when your heart is

a quantum physicist at the austrian economy of sciences his excursions into space travel are just a hobby work he explores the weird and wonderful world of teleportation of quantum teleportation to be precise as a having watched our trek for instance people imagine that you somehow beam matter or even energy because that's how it's done on the show that people disappear in the transporter and then reappear on an alien planet when. the similarity is that the system rebuilds the object identically in another place. or what's more at the exact same time or instantaneously regardless of the distance involved that's how the quantum world works via quantum entanglement einstein thought it was pretty spooky transferring information faster than the speed of light so does this mean travelling not only with 0 emissions but also with 0 delay.

what happens with quantum teleportation is that really just that you want him information in this system is transferred to another place onto another identical system. about what the matter itself atoms are photons or whatever it's made of does not get transferred so it doesn't disappear. but what does disappears the information it gets destroyed. still. so if 2 quanta are connected this way they can exchange information without a moment's delay but not the matter it really is just the information. ok event couldn't i just split myself into quanta and send their information to another entangled quantum cloud i mean then i would just need to be reassembled correctly right. let's just say that right now we don't know of anything that would

fundamentally speak against it but it would have to work in a completely different way but. we'll need completely different set ups than what we're creating now. if i could build a device that could do this and you'd ask me whether i would put myself inside it i'd say no. so mr spock would probably have to get beamed into glittery shower of alum in human gray like in the old days. and don't forget the enterprise at least sped through the universe powered by an anti matter and hydrogen engine with not even a whiff of emissions. by the way a piece of trivia for you the words you me up scotty whenever said precisely in better form in the static serious maybe other work with the me aboard.

and that's all from this edition of made see you next time until then good bye and keep watching the skies.

is the news coming to you live from the e.u. in the u.k. say blood clots are a potential rare side effect of the astra zeneca back team but european and british regulators say the benefits of the china far outweigh the risks take a close look at their findings also coming up india pits another new record of daily coronavirus cases delhi mumbai the lord cities impose curfews just slow the soaring infection rate. plus should children have the right to change their biological sex lawmakers in one u.s.

. states decided to bat transgender treatment for those under 18 but opponents say it will harm kids already at risk. and are sweat house king during law we show you how the pandemic has been impacting the fashion business and how to look sharp even when working from home. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us we start with yet another setback for the astra zeneca coronavirus vaccine the european medicines agency and its british counterpart have announced there does appear to be a link between the vaccine and a rare but potentially fatal type of blood clot the ear may stop short of changing its recommendation to give the vaccine to all ages while the u.k. is advised in those 30 under 30 to get a different shot. trying to put to rest any concerns 1st of

all i want to start by stating that our safety committee that pharmacovigilance and risk assessment committee of the european medicine say can see has confirmed that the benefits of the astra zeneca vaccine in preventing qubit 19 outweigh the risks of trying to fix. the european union's drug regulator the european medicines agency says after a safety assessment of the astra zeneca vaccine they are still encouraging people to get it that's despite finding a $169.00 cases of a rare brain blood clot after $34000000.00 doses the agency says while no clear link has been found they believe the clots are caused by any means response as a result the regulator will be listing the clots as a rare side effect of the astra zeneca vaccine. this vaccine has proven to be highly effective if it prevents if severe disease in hospitalized patients and it

is saving lives vaccination is extremely important in helping us in the fight against cope at 19 and we need to use the back scenes we have to protect us from the devastating effects to my media it comes as u.k. authorities recommend that the astra zeneca vaccine should not be given to adults under 30 were possible but again they stressed the continued use of the vaccine our review has reinforced that the risk of this respite to side effect remains extremely smooth. the drug maker itself says the bottom line of the regulators findings is that the astra zeneca vaccine offers a high level of protection against coated 19. or more now we're joined by your topol a she is a member of the european parliament from germany's green party and also a licensed pharmacist thanks for being with us this morning as policy 1st up would

you recommend astra zeneca to everybody. i think we should differentiate between countries that have several vaccines to choose from and pantries that must rely on astra zeneca so i do understand the decision of the register story to you saying for the under thirty's will use another vaccine. has clarified that the risk is incredibly small and that the benefit of the way the risks so if a country only has a strong it should be given to all age groups what do you make of germany re germany which itself is suffering a shortage of vaccines it seems what do you make of germany recommending astra zeneca only to people over 60. well germany has taken the decision to take the lowest possible risk and rick amending astra zeneca to over

sixty's and giving the under sixty's by on tech. the under sixty's that are being vaccinated today are mostly health care professionals are people working in crowd spaces like for example mass. monster welling's and there are of course we should choose the lowest possible risk i feel my part tend to say to people that say well there's so much risk in extras in a car i tend to ask them well do you take aspirin or because aspirin also has some sid there are side effects which are extremely rare and it's quite comparable to as far as a nickel so that's the choice that people should be aware off we prevent a very very serious disease with a vaccine with a very very low risk the controversy surrounding us for something has reduced public acceptance of the back scene in europe how damaging is all this to the e.u.

has already still a geisha rollout campaign. well 1st of all it's been a communication disaster and i do think that astra zeneca did not do a good job in promising doses to every state's u.k. also the e.u. but also other countries all over the world well not being able to produce enough of the vaccine and if the e.u. had known it in a box that asked the senate to would not be able to fulfill its promises then i probably would have ordered more vaccines from other companies the number of countries in europe are already using the russian v. vaccine germany is about to start negotiations with russia on the back seeing. it hasn't been approved by the by the european medical medicines agency what does this say about unity in the european union that there's

a scramble now for the for that vaccine well as for germany it has been make perfectly clear that putting it will only be finally if a gives authorize ation and i think that is the right way to choose because the end a does a very thorough examination of all of the data and i cannot understand the approach of other e.u. member states saying well never mind about the e m a we just believe that it should be safe because there have people backs in it and we haven't heard of anyone dying so i don't understand what what benefit there is and relying on data that has not been scrutinized is published thank you very much for talking with us this morning that was you to publish a licensed pharmacist and a member of the european parliament for the green party thank you thank you thank you have a nice day. and let's catch up on some of the other developments in the credit

pandemic worldwide resilin continues to see soaring case numbers and deaths it's also confirmed its 1st case of the variant 1st detected in south africa argentina has announced a 3 week nighttime curfew after infections there reached a new record high the curfew starts on friday in the capital and other badly affected areas and new zealand has now suspended all travel from india that came after india reported a record number of new cases in one day and struggling under a new wave. experts are blaming large gatherings for india's outbreak nearly 127000 cases were reported there on thursday that's the highest number ever prime minister narendra modi urged eligible citizens to get vaccinated while he received his 2nd coded $900.00 today india is trying to scale

up its vaccine rollout which has only reached a small fraction of the huge population but he's government has refused to impose a 2nd national law down to curb spreading of infections but he's set to meet 1st fully with regional leaders who will decide on restrictions here's d. w.'s moneer a chaudhary in delhi with more. india is now well into the 2nd day of the pandemic seeing a huge spike in the number of cases every day in the past couple of days india has a 100000. spike now this has created an alarming situation most of the states are issuing fresh guidelines and restrictions including delhi the national capital right now has now in both a night that means there will be a restriction of movement from 10 in the night to 5 in the morning and only movement of essential services and those people who are going to get themselves back to need it will be allowed that with an ethos know what are people thinking

about distressed by what do they think about the night you and i do what it is that the country can go back to a state of a nation wide lockdown let's find out. looking at the infection order to the $100.00. i'm concerned oh how much your spike for the night go for you is a pretty good idea because generally of people who work in the days and then they come on this is it going out and. people can be districted them. and the chances of infection more there is definitely a sense of urgency experts are saying that the spread of the 2nd day that much faster than the plus one and people concerned there's also a growing demand for making that the nation available for groups people are anxious and by many of them believe that restrictions like a night if you are important they're not entirely sure how effective such measures

can be in clubbing the spread of the 2nd. chaudhary. catch up on some of the stories making headlines around the world today alexei has been diagnosed with 2 spinal dissed hernias according to his lawyer imprisoned russian opposition leader is. to have lost sensation in his legs and hands the ball to his on hunger strike in a penal colony criticised for its arch treatment. jordan's king abdullah has broken his silence over a public rift in the royal family and told the nation that the worst political crisis in decades is over it was sparked by an alleged plot involving his half brother king's statement said that recent events had caused him quote shock pain and anger. protestors have set fire to a bus in belfast northern ireland experiences a new wave of unrest the violence started last week in progress parts of the region tensions have been fuelled by the pandemic and post breaks at trade barriers with

the rest of the u.k. . rescue crews have managed to board a cargo ship abandoned in rough seas off norway since monday the ship began listing dangerously when its cargo shifted in stormy weather its crew were evacuated by helicopter the ship is now being towed to a port avoiding a potential fuel spill. the on mars ambassador to the u.k. has been locked out of the embassy in london he said representatives of beyond mars military junta have taken control of the building. this is who. thank you. who is in the building. the defense of the day chief. and swam in the on mars ambassador to the u.k. there well this is kind of true.

so all of this. ok so i think we're going to cross now the by the way had attempted to recall the ambassador last month after he spoke in support of civilian leader on sponsored she and urged for her release from detention this comes as daily protests against the crew of course become increasingly dangerous at least 15 people killed across myanmar on wednesday . now let's cross over to reporter a min tun she's been covering events in they've been covering events in myanmar force and joins us now from neighboring bangkok human touch you left me on mars short while ago for security reasons what are you hearing about the current situation there so what we're seeing in the current situation is that

it's becoming more and more dangerous to go out and protest and even though you are still feeling some protest especially more rural areas people in larger cities are avoiding large gatherings for now and our state in protest in other ways we're seeing social media protests where people have been using up until hours into their shoes as a way to show that they still march in spirit over easter we saw people using eggs writing messages on them we're seeing people flying kites but as more and more damage economic damage especially is done during the civil disobedience movement we are seeing a breakdown of how care infrastructure as well as a situation in which banking and cash has become really hard to come by and quite a number of people are suffering economically. military troops continue killing peaceful protesters in myanmar but the demonstrations are continuing nonetheless

how long can the protesters keep this. i think that's the really big question in terms of the longevity of this movement and whether or not it can be successful we are starting to see a shift away from a massive street demonstrations as i said earlier there are still people who are marching but people have really started becoming more creative in their tactics to display public discontent while also switching their focus or focusing more now on the other pelosi of the civil disobedience movement such as pressuring into the international community to not engage with the military and to recognize the c.r.p. as the legitimate government of myanmar as well as pressuring economic sanctions as well as not paying taxes to the military and other forms of boycotts and sections that they are able to do within the country.
