The Moon is preparing to receive its first space "airport"... there are already traffic rules

SAPO Notícias5 September 2026 at 17:56

The Moon is about to receive its first space "airport", with traffic rules already established to manage lunar traffic. Although many still consider it science fiction, lunar exploration is preparing for a new phase with the arrival of multiple spacecraft at the same time.

Several spacecraft, logistical modules and crewed vehicles are on their way to the Moon, which requires regulation to avoid collisions and ensure the safety of operations. This new framework represents a significant step in organizing space activities on the lunar surface.

The development of these lunar traffic rules comes at a time when various space agencies and private companies are preparing missions for the Moon, marking a new era in space exploration with the need to coordinate multiple simultaneous operations.

The North African Neighbor and its Climate Moods…

The article analyses the desertification affecting North Africa and spreading southward, particularly to the Portuguese Algarve, explaining how climate patterns have changed drastically. The author describes in detail the Milankovitch Cycles — axial precession, eccentricity, and axial tilt — as the main scientific causes behind the transformation of the ancient "Green Sahara" (between 11,000 and 5,000 years ago) into the current desert. The article also explores how these climate changes triggered human migrations from North Africa to Mesopotamia, the Nile Valley, and the Iberian Peninsula, with ancient DNA studies confirming African genetic affinities in Iberian samples from the Neolithic/Bronze Age.

Three daily habits that accelerate aging (and how to prevent them from your 20s onwards)

Experts warn that three daily habits — inflammatory and irregular eating, prolonged exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides and PFAS, and chronic stress combined with social isolation — are accelerating cellular aging. Functional medicine doctors recommend that prevention begin in your 20s, through measures such as daily physical activity, sun protection, strength training, sleep hygiene, bone health reinforcement with calcium and vitamin D, and avoiding heating food in plastic to prevent the release of endocrine disruptors.

The discovery, which excited archaeologists, now allows the study of a structure dated to the time of Jesus and the early Christians, offering new clues about daily life and commercial activities in the region during the Roman period.
