Trapped in the Deep

Earlier today it was the longest day of the year because the Earth's rotation axis is tilted at 23.5° and is always pointing towards the star called Polaris, this means the north side of the Earth is leaning towards the sun for 6 months and away from the sun the rest of the year. It was during this long day that I learned that an exploration submarine called Oceangate Titan was trapped in the deep ocean. 

There are five people on board and at the time of writing this post, they had about 1 day of oxygen left to keep them alive. A representative of the United States Coast guards was explaining the difficulties of rescuing the crew. 

He explained how the ocean is vast and their equipment is limited. The crew were alive but they can't be removed from the submarine in the deep ocean because they would be crushed by the water pressure and it may be too difficult to raise the submarine before they run out of oxygen. 

I hope they can rescue them before their air runs out. 

Deep space threat

The UK government recently opted to upgrade their Nuclear deterrent. I don't know if that is good or bad. What I do know is that there is a bigger threat to everyone. The threat is deep space.

Large fast moving objects are moving through space. When one of them strikes the Earth it could destroy the food chain and cause the death of millions of people. It is also possible that mankind could become extinct.

I don't understand why we are prepared to shoot missiles at other countries and not to stop Asteroids and Comets from colliding with earth. Is the Deep space object collision not inevitable?

Today I am grateful that the disaster has not happened and I am also pleased that world war 3 has not started and may never start if we are wise.
