A HIGH-TECH capsule that could one day take astronauts to the Moon has been unveiled by a US company building space tech for Nasa. Alabama military firm Dynetics revealed its first full-scale model of the lander this week as part of its bid to partner with Nasa on its Artemis mission, which plans to put man on the lunar surface in 2024. The military outfit is one of three companies contracted by Nasa to come up with lander ideas for Artemis. Dynetics said the model, located in Huntsville, Alabama, will be used to test the prototype vehicle, dubbed the Human Landing System. "Our team is pleased to bring this system to life," the firm's Kim Doering said. "Our reusable, sustainable approach is ready to support a safe and successful hardware delivery for Nasa's mission."

NHS Covid heroes get ‘kick in the teeth’ as Government offers 1% pay rise
NHS Covid heroes have been dealt a “kick in the teeth” as the government proposed a pay award of just 1%. The figure, branded 'the worst kind of insult' by furious unions, amounts to a real terms pay cut in 2021/22 when inflation is factored in. It comes a day after Rishi Sunak faced furyfor not including any cash in the Budget for staff who were crucial to keeping Britain going through the pandemic.
