A museum in China has put the country's first ever nuclear-powered submarine on display in celebration of the 68th anniversary of the People's Liberation Army Navy.

There are only four other countries that have retained a nuclear powered submarine after it has been decommissioned.

As of April 25, tourists have been able to explore the submarine and get first hand experience on what it's like onboard.

The submarine is the first of its kind to go on display at the Naval Museum in Qingdao on the coast of east China's Shandong province.

Visitors were able to access the attraction from April 25.

But the most interesting part was sitting down with some of the people who do this every day.

I even signed the inspection sticker on one.

It's my first time in Michigan, and my first stop was at the Ford Rouge Plant outside Detroit.

I played a very small part in assembling some new Ford F-150s on the line by adding antennas, cleats and drilling screws.

I even signed the inspection sticker on one.

You're welcome, future F-150 owner.

But the most interesting part was sitting down with some of the people who do this every day.

Working on the line at an assembly plant is physically hard, and the people I met talked about how tiring it is and how worn down you get.

Each person told me separately how important it is to have good shoes because you're essentially walking on a treadmill for 10 hours a day.

Every 52 seconds, you have to go through your set of tasks 650 times a day.

You have to be perfect, but the biggest challenge is having the focus to do the same thing over and over again.

The people I met are so good they keep the line running at full speed and listen to audio books or music in one earbud to stay engaged.

Working at Ford is a long term thing.

Most of the workers I met had been at the plant for at least a decade, and a lot of them have kids and friends who work there, too.

Someone told me that when you spend 11 hours a day, four days a week together, you end up becoming family and friends outside of work, too.

Thanks to Bill Ford and everyone I met for having me. And thanks to the line workers who checked my work.

Esa scientists have been testing 3D-printing technology they say could be used on the moon.

It was one of a number of proposals discussed at an international conference organised by Esa about returning humans to the lunar surface.


Structures for a lunar base could be built by robots sent ahead of human astronauts.

Experts said 3D printing technology can currently construct an entire building in around a week.

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

The secretary general forChina's space agency, Tian Yulong, disclosed the talks today in Chinese state media.

The ESA has previously described its 'Moon Village' as a potential international launching pad for future missions to Mars.

'In the Moon Village we would like to combine the capabilities of different spacefaring nations, with the help of robots and astronauts.

'The participants can work in different fields, perhaps they will conduct purescience and perhaps there will even be business ventures like mining or tourism.

'Woerner said the village could even help man get to Mars.

'The Moon Village would also act as a 'pit stop' for the further exploration of the Universe,' he said.

'Esa is eager to fly to Mars as well.

'For more than a decade, we have had a very successful spacecraft orbiting there.

And now, with ExoMars, two unmanned missions are aiming at martian orbit and the surface.'Yes, the Americans want to send astronauts to Mars one day, but today's technology isn't prepared for this trip yet.

'For example, we must develop countermeasures against the cosmic radiation that endangers the health of humans on long space trips.

And we have to learn how to endure longer periods of time in space, not only in low orbit as on the Space Station.

The European Space Agency's CEO Jan Woerner said the project could allow exploration of the far side of the moon.

'No human has ever visited the far side of the Moon,' he wrote.

'Astronomers want to set up radio telescopes there because it is shaded from Earth's radio pollution.

Building a telescope with innovative techniques like 3D printing, perhaps using lunar soil, would enable us to look much deeper into the Universe.

Explorer...Nice one. Am curious tho, is it that there is some1 present when this kind of incident occur?? coz I do wonder how they do get this pictures

Yes, NatGeowild or nature photographers can spend days or weeks at a particular spot to capture some of these images.



Pictured, it took Alan McFadyen 6 years, 4,200 hours and 720,000 shots to get this.

Waoh.

This is the gruesome moment a huge crocodile devoured a gazelle with one bite in a savage river ambush.

The predator launched the brutal attack after the unsuspecting animal followed its family into a river in Kenya.

7. You're out in the compound, then the sound of the TV or Fridge suddenly stops. That dark feeling that envelopes you, you start peeping to confirm your worst fears like:

This got me.

Beijing's first domestically designed and built carrier will hold 24 Shenyang J-15 fighter jets and 12 helicopters.


The newly-built aircraft carrier is transferred from dry dock into the water at a launch ceremony at a shipyard in Dalian in northeastern China's Liaoning Province this morning.


Development of the new carrier began in 2013 and construction in late 2015.


The new carrier is part of an ambitious expansion of
Chinese navy, which is projected to have a total of 265-273 warships, submarines and logistics vessels by 2020.

China has launched its first domestically designed and built aircraft carrier and has called for the US to cease military exercises with South Korea as Trump's USS Vinson continues to steam towards the Korean Peninsula.

The 50,000-ton carrier, based on the Soviet Kuznetsov class design, was towed from its dockyard just after 9am following a ceremony in the northern port city of Dalian.

It comes as the US aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson makes its way to the troubled Korean Peninsula amid fearsKim Jong-unis plotting to carry outNorth Korea's sixth nuclear test.

But China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday urged an end to US-South Korean military manoeuvres as well as a stop to North Korea's nuclear programme to calm tensions on the peninsula.

Talking in Berlin, he said: 'We have to, on the one hand, stop the nuclear activities of North Korea and, on the other hand, the large-scale manoeuvres in Korean waters should cease.'
