The space agency lacks spacesuits. Because of this, the team of women astronauts was even canceled the first spacewalk. It was postponed and took place in October 2019. NASA has invested more than $ 200 million in the development of new spacesuits. Despite this, according to the report of Inspector General Paul Martin, the agency has only 11 usable space suits. They were developed in the late seventies, and their service life expired in the last century. Moisture builds up in astronauts' helmets due to problems with the outdated cooling system of spacesuits. According to NASA engineer Pablo de Leon, each such suit weighs more than 150 kg and costs $ 22 million.

Самый таинственный космический пришелец XX века — Тунгусский метеорит. Он упал в районе сибирской реки Тунгуска утром 30 июня 1908 года. В тот день небо осветило ярким сиянием, а последовавший за ним воздушный взрыв уничтожил огромный участок леса и выбил стекла домов в радиусе 200 км. Однако ни осколков метеорита, ни следов применения оружия массового поражения, ни обломков инопланетного корабля так никто и не нашел. По расчетам специалистов NASA, диаметр метеорита составлял 75 м, а сила взрыва сравнялась с мощностью термоядерной бомбы. К слову, после падения Челябинского метеорита ученые нашли более 100 осколков. Самый большой из них весит почти 700 кг.

If the Earth's satellite disappears, it is likely that a global catastrophe will not happen. It used to be the main source of light in the dark - now people know how to do without it. And yet some serious changes will take place. For example, many water sports will come to an end. The phases of the moon affect the waves - passing over the surface of our planet, it "pulls" the masses of water. In addition, marine life will die out, whose lives are directly related to the tides. Without a satellite, there will be no solar or lunar eclipses on Earth, and tectonic plates will shift, causing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. But the main thing is that the planet's climate will no longer be the same.
