NASA’s mission to Mars in 2020 is a very, very big deal. After the death of Opportunity a number of months back, NASA has just one rover left on the Red Planet and Curiosity isn’t exactly a spring chicken. Curiosity’s two-year mission has long since lapsed and the rover has spent nearly 2,500 days on Mars since landing back in 2012.

Now, with excitement over the Mars 2020 mission at a fever pitch, NASA is offering us all a seat right inside its Jet Propulsion Laboratory where the rover is slowly taking shape. A newly-installed webcam provides a live look at the scientists hard at work testing and assembling all the important parts that will make the new rover tick.

Facebook has been working on its own cryptocurrency for quite a while now, and it looks like the company is seeking to unveil its product as soon as its month.

Libra, the Facebook-made Bitcoin rival, will not actually be similar to Bitcoin, just in case you’re already thinking about investing in it and waiting for it to pop. Instead, it’ll be tethered to actual currency, the US dollar, reports have claimed, which means that it will always have the same value. The Facebook coin will be available online in Facebook’s apps, but also in other places, as long as merchants decide to support it.

Instant Pots and other comparable multi-use cookers are so great, but they’re also very expensive. You can easily spend $100, $150, or even more on a multicooker.

Check out the Crock-Pot 6-Quart Cook & Carry Oval Manual Portable Slow Cooker on Amazon instead. It’s an excellent dedicated slow cooker, and you can literally get four of them for the price of one Instant Pot with the same 6-quart capacity!

Within the next few months, once Avengers: Endgame finally leaves theaters and hits store shelves, Marvel fans will finally be able to own the complete Infinity Saga of the MCU to watch anytime they want. The only major issue is that many of those movies — most notably the Phase 1 films — were never released in 4K on Blu-ray. Thankfully, that’s going to change in the near future, as Marvel has big plans for its back catalog.

“We are going to remaster all of our films in 4K,” Captain Marvel’s executive producers Victoria Alonso and Jonathan Schwartz told Collider in a recent interview about the movie’s home release when asked about Marvel’s plan for other 4K releases. “We’re in the process of doing that, so it’s all happening.”

The Mars 2020 mission will truly be one for the record books when it begins in July of next year. Not only is the Mars 2020 rover one of the most advanced piece of equipment that will ever be sent to the Red Planet, it’s also equipped with its very own helicopter.

Now, in a new blog post, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory says that the helicopter has entered its final testing phase and it’s already passed many of its trials with flying colors.

The Trump administration banned Huawei from importing any US-made technology a few weeks ago, and the order is still in effect. A number of prominent US companies have already halted business with Huawei, pending the resolution of this conflict, with Facebook being the latest company to cut ties.

Huawei’s smartphone business is in great danger because of that, as the company may end up not being able to launch new Android phones that people would actually want to buy in the near future… if it can even make those devices in the first place. But it’s not just Huawei’s bottom line that might be hurt in the near and distant future, and Google has plenty of reasons to be worried, too.
