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

The infected animals mutate into terrifying monsters and attack on a large-scale. When humans faced destruction, they built walls and founded cities as humanity’s last strongholds. The trials that mankind experiences during this period are called the “Nirvana Period”. In such an extreme living environment, human physical strength also gradually evolved and developed; martial arts sprang up, and human physical strength was qualitatively increasing compared to before. And the best of them is called “Warriors”. 18-year-old Luo Feng also dreams of becoming one of them. Right now, he was about to take the college entrance exam and face a choice at a crossroads in his life, but suddenly a monster attack affects the trajectory of his life. The first challenge he had to confront was the subtle, invisible influence of the external environment, which was shaped by Luo Feng's family's poor condition and difficult life. His parents were unable to provide much assistance, leaving him to rely solely on his own efforts. In the end, under constant hard work, Luo Feng continued to explore his own potential and was recognized for his increased abilities and self-esteem. Not only that, Luo Feng not only shouldered the burden of supporting the family but also joined forces with other warriors of justice to face evil monsters and protect the land of mankind for the survival and development of a better mankind. In the desperate situation of doomsday, can Luo Feng and the other warriors repel the monsters and successfully protect the human world?<br/>")
