In September 2021 as many as 7,500 active satellites orbited the Earth 🛰
Curiously enough, the first artificial satellite was put into orbit in 1957.
And in just one year (from 2020 to 2021) ~1400 new satellites were launched into space 🤔

Ulnar dimelia (mirror hand syndrome).
It is a phenomenon with the thumb missing, and the hand doubled.
Thus, a person has seven or eight fingers on one limb at once.
Most treatment is surgical, although some people adjust to the anomaly and live a normal life without resorting to surgery.

What is one gram of antimatter worth? 🤔
Currently, antimatter is the most expensive substance on Earth, costing about $62.5 trillion per gram of antimatter. Prospects for creating and utilizing antimatter as fuel for spacecraft are examined in a NASA paper.
For comparison, to produce the first atomic weapon, the cost of the Manhattan project was estimated at $23 billion.
