Description:
European scientists are turning an aircraft into a laboratory that simulates lunar gravity to prepare astronauts and technology for future moon landings as part of the NASA-led Artemis missions. <br/><br/>The moon is a strange little world. Only about 1.2% the mass of Earth, our planet's companion exerts a much weaker gravitational force on objects on its surface than the parent planet. As a result, an astronaut on the moon's surface feels as if he or she only weighs one sixth of their earthly weight. The same goes for all equipment the astronauts would use. It may sound like no big deal but this feeble gravitational pull creates all sorts of unforeseen problems that are difficult to prepare for in research labs on Earth. There is, however, one way to experience lunar gravity while still in the confines of Earth and explore these challenges before going to the moon: in a parabolic flight.<br/><br/>Credit: Space.com | footage courtesy: European Space Agency/Novespace/NASA<br/>A Future Studios Production

_hotel-deluxe-2013.webp "Hotel Deluxe is a 2013 Hong Kong comedy film released in commemoration with the Lunar New Year of 2013. The film was produced by Raymond Wong Pak-ming (黃百鳴) and directed by Vincent Kok Tak-chiu (谷德昭), his thirteenth as a director, and written by him along with Anselm Chan Mou-yin (陳茂賢, credited as Anselm Chan), Steven Fung Min-hang (馮勉恆), and Poon Jun Lam (潘俊霖). Hotel Deluxe features many of the recurring cast from his All's Well, Ends Well film series.<br/><br/>Hotel Deluxe concerns the Hundred Stars Hotel, located on Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou (also the key location in All’s Well Ends Well 2009), and how the hotel staff bands together to retain their five-star rating. Longtime staff members Peachey (吳君如 Sandra Ng Kwan-yue), Pacino (杜汶澤 Chapman To Man-chak) and OK Pao (鄭中基 Ronald Cheng Chung-kei) have become somewhat complacent, so the head office assigns tightfisted manager Cruella Koo (毛舜筠 Teresa Mo Shun-kwan) to oversee operations. The staff isn’t too happy with the new leadership and makes a few weak attempts at screwing with Cruella. However, she’s really a decent sort and before long she’s working with the team to solve the hotel’s many crises.<br/><br/>Besides a suspected travel critic, the annoying Jim (詹瑞文 Jim Chim Sui-man) prowling the grounds, the hotel staff must handle visiting superstars Audrey (熊黛林 Lynn Hung Dai Lin) and Marilyn (Karena Ng). Both have problems: Audrey is sickly sweet in public but foul-mouthed and difficult in private, and Marilyn is a new age oddball. While Cruella deals with Audrey (吳千語 Karena Ng Chin-yu) and her many demands, OK Pao handles Marilyn. OK Pao is a super fan of Marilyn, but that fact charms rather than repels her and soon the two develop mutual romantic feelings.<br/><br/>However, before OK Pao can get his own Notting Hill remake, old friend Bobo (薛凱琪 Fiona Sit Hoi-kei) arrives at the hotel with a special request: she must get married to keep her family inheritance, but her uncle Ho San (Raymond) seeks to stop her. However, Bobo doesn’t have a fiancé, so the staff finds a ringer in valet Mark Lui (于波 Yu Bo) and prepare to fake her wedding. The potential pairings triple when Bobo’s uncle takes a shine to Peachey, plus Bobo has unrequited feelings for OK Pao. Things eventually reach a head — but don’t worry, it all ends well. You know, just like in Raymond Wong’s other movies.")
