According to experts, while it can be costly, new windows can provide significant benefits like lower outside noise and better energy efficiency for the entire home. Wood windows have a traditional look that can be styled with just about any color. “You just need to keep them clean.”The only minor difference between vinyl and wood windows regarding maintenance is sealing and painting. Alexander says that if you have wood windows, they should be sealed or painted if they are exposed to rain or snow. According to experts, a window’s insulating value is called its U-factor, and lower numbers have the best insulation for energy efficiency.

CNN —NASA is seeking innovative methods that could help retrieve samples collected by the Perseverance rover on Mars in the future. The original design for the Mars Sample Return program, a partnership between NASA and the European Space Agency, was a complex one. Reviews of the program have recommended that the Mars Sample return should not cost more than $5 billion to $7 billion, Nelson said. “Mars Sample Return will be one of the most complex missions NASA has ever undertaken. “We are operating from the premise that this is an important national objective that we return the samples,” Nelson said.

NASA объявило, что отправляет на Венеру две новые миссии для изучения атмосферы и геологических особенностей планеты. Эти миссии под названиями Миссия Davinci+ и Veritas, каждая из которых получила финансирование в размере $500 млн, должны быть запущены в период с 2028 по 2030 года. "NASA выбрало две новые миссии к Венере - ближайшему к Земле соседу-планете. Цель миссий - понять, как Венера стала адом, когда у нее имеется столько характеристик, сходных с характеристиками нашей планеты", - сообщается на сайте NASA. Новые миссии были отобраны на основе их потенциальной научной ценности и осуществимости их планов развития.
