The completion date for the world's tallest tower has been pushed back to 2019, a Saudi Arabian billionaire said yesterday, almost six years after launching the record-breaking project.

Jeddah Tower is to rise more than a kilometre (almost 3,300 feet), placing it above Dubai's Burj Khalifa.

'The project was delayed but it'll open in 2019,' Prince Alwaleed bin Talal told AFP during a visit to the site beside the Red Sea.

In as much as I fully support research and development. But abeg you people should leave our moon alone. Before you know it now Russia and US too would join and be doing God knows what... Nobody would ever live on the moon so these countries should pls just stop. We've destroyed earth enough, if you must destroy anything just go to mars and not moon.

Lol..

With their cheap technology, they've been able to manufacture their own commercial aircraft, Submarine, aircraft carrier, Fighter Jets, Ship/Vessel, cars and trucks.


Some giant, rich countries cannot produce a mobile phone.

The system, called the Bioregenerative Life Support System (BLSS), allows water and food to be recycled and is key to any Chinese probes to the moonor beyond.

Human waste will be treated with a bio-fermentation process, and experimental crops and vegetables will be grown (pictured) with the help of food and waste by products.

The Lunar Palace contains four bed cubicles to house its inhabitants (pictured), as well as a common room, bathroom, waste-treatment room anda room for raising animals.

Beijing's astronautics research university will be overseeing the project

China is talking with the European Space Agency about collaborating on a human settlement on the moon.

China plans to establish a village on the moon with Europe's help by 2036.

Now, in a step towards that goal, the nation has created a 'Lunar Palace' on Earth to simulate living in isolated conditions on the moon.

Four students from the astronautics research university Beihang yesterday entered the 160-square-metre (1,720-square-foot) cabin, dubbed the 'Yuegong-1'.

It contains four bed cubicles, a common room, a bathroom, a waste-treatment room and a room for raising animals.

It is the only such facility to involve animals and microorganisms as well as plants and humans, its chief designer Liu Hong told CCTV, calling it 'the firstof its kind.'

A similar 105-day trial was carried out successfully in 2014.

Two groups of four postgraduate students will alternate their time in the labspending a total of 365 days in isolation between them.

Two men and two women entered the lab yesterday to begin work.

The record attempt was made at Mojave Air and Space Port in Mojave, California.

In addition to being one of the few places in the US where supersonic flight is allowed, it features a two-and-a-half-mile paved runway.

Mr Edwards said: 'At 225 mph, the thing was wandering a little bit.

All I could think was that Craig said, "No matter what, just keep your foot in it," and we got 230 mph.

'It's safe to say that this is the fastest SUV on the planet.'

Toyota has set the record for the world's fastest SUV as a modified Land Cruiser hit speeds of 230 miles per hour (370km/h).

The turbocharged vehicle rocketed along a 2.5 mile (4km) California runway to beat the previous record of 211 miles per hour (340km/h).

Dubbed the 'Land Speed Cruiser' by the daredevil team, the SUV underwent a myriad of modifications to get it up to pace.

The custom-built, 2,000-horsepower Cruiser had two turbochargers added to its regular 381hp, 5.7L V8 engine to increase its power output five-fold.

Alongside several other engine modifications, the SUV had wider tires and reduced suspension to boost its top speed.

It took former NASCAR driver Carl Edwards just two attempts to break the SUV land speed record.

Modifications to the car's volleyball-sized turbochargers allowed the racer to add 19 miles per hour (30km/h) to his first attempt.
