Will Russia's Putin benefit from Prigozhin's presumed plane crash death?
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the foul-mouthed chief of the Wagner private army who masterminded an aborted mutiny against the Kremlin, has not been officially pronounced dead. Russian authorities have yet to confirm via a DNA test that the 62-year-old's body was among the charred and mangled remnants of 10 people found in the debris of the private jet that crashed 350km (217 miles) northwest of Moscow late on Wednesday.
Prigozhin was, however, listed as one of the plane's passengers along with the company's founder and neo-Nazi sympathiser Dmitry Utkin nicknamed Wagner.

How Israeli technology turns occupation into profit | The Take
#Al JazeeraEnglish#news
The Israeli military-industrial complex has turned the Occupied Palestinian Territories into a testing ground for advanced weaponry and surveillance technology, which it exports worldwide. From powerful tools like the Pegasus software used to hack the phones of high-profile individuals such as Jeff Bezos and Jamal Khashoggi, to selling drones to the EU to monitor people seeking to cross the Mediterranean, Israel's technology has become a global leader in conflicts around the world.

Shuttle Atlantis STS-132 - Amazing Shuttle Launch Experience
Kennedy Space Center, May 14th, 2010. I was privileged to travel to the Kennedy Space Center to watch the launch of Atlantis on what was then the "final scheduled' flight of the orbiter (STS-132). This video is my homage to the shuttle program through the in-depth experience of a single orbiter launch. I believe we should be thankful for the Atlantis orbiter, all her astronauts, the countless NASA staff who made her fly, and the American people who created a space vehicle of extraordinary power and grace.
This footage incorporates numerous camera views from the ground, the footage I took during launch, and video and audio from NASA showing the orbiter stack itself during takeoff and flight. I hope you enjoy the experience of launch preparation and the resulting eight-and-a-half-minute exhilarating ride into space.
In places, the timeline of the actual events has been extended to allow viewing of several different viewpoints of the same. moment. This creative decision aims to bask in the experience from many angles and celebrate the amazing feat of launching a spacecraft into orbit.
I hope you enjoy the ride!
MORE BACKGROUND
After this flight, Atlantis was processed and prepared to fly one last time... this time as "on-call" STS-335, which would remain flight-ready, should either of the remaining two orbiters' flights require a rescue mission. Thankfully, such a rescue flight was not needed and Congress appropriated funds to extend the program to allow the "flight ready" Atlantis to launch one last time, becoming the last shuttle mission (STS-135) of the Shuttle Program.
Atlantis now has a permanent home on display at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Errata: A video editing error at the end of the video states the
launch was in 2012, rather than the correct year of 2010.

Why India's Chandrayaan-3 Moon Landing Isn't Just About Science
India became the first country to successfully land on the moon's south pole with its Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft, just days after Russia's Luna-25 crashed in the same region. Both countries launched rockets in recent weeks, hoping to be the first to successfully complete the mission.
Why were they racing to reach the lunar south pole? WSJ explains the significance of both missions for Moscow and New Delhi.
