00:05:40,760 In top news, NASA is developing a new propulsion system that could significantly reduce travel 67 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:46,440 time to Mars, cutting the journey from nine months to just two. 68 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,520 This innovation is part of NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts program, which has advanced 69 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,680 six projects to its second stage of development. 70 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:02,520 Among them is a pulsed plasma rocket being developed by Howe Industries in Arizona. 71 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:09,520 This rocket, using nuclear fission for propulsion, could generate a thrust of up to 23,000 pounds, 72 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:15,580 promising high fuel efficiency and the ability to carry heavier spacecraft. 73 00:06:15,580 --> 00:06:21,080 This technology could minimize astronauts' exposure to space radiation and microgravity, 74 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:26,160 enhancing the safety and feasibility of manned Mars missions. 75 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:34,400 In business news, the New Matter 1.3 specification enhances smart home technology by introducing 76 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:41,040 energy management and expanding device

major smart home platforms 79 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:54,360 like Apple, Google, and Amazon, which have yet to support even the previous version, 80 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,120 Matter 1.2. 81 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:02,400 This bottleneck challenges the adoption and practical utility of Matter, as manufacturers 82 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,420 and platforms need to embrace the updates to realize the standard's full potential 83 00:07:07,420 --> 00:07:12,480 in creating a universally interoperable smart home environment. 84 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:27,200 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is $61,500, Ethereum is just under $3,000, and Solana is $144. 85 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,600 Moving on to a more local vibe. 86 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:36,540 In our community spotlight on health and

00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,080 And now, back to the show. 96 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,360 Let's talk science. 97 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,380 Researchers at Harry Oat Watt University in Scotland have developed an innovative material 98 00:08:25,380 --> 00:08:30,080 that could significantly reduce humanity's carbon footprint. 99 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:35,280 This new substance, formed in a unique cage of cages structure, is designed to capture 100 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:41,400 carbon dioxide and sulfur hexafluoride more efficiently than natural processes like tree 101 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,400 absorption. 102 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:48,840 Dubbed a major breakthrough in the fight against climate change, this material utilizes a combination 103 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,760 of oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine. 104 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:59,040 It has the potential to sequester these harmful gases more rapidly than traditional methods. 105 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:05,040 As the urgency to address global warming intensifies, such advancements in carbon capture technology 106 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,040 offer a promising avenue for mitigating environmental impact. 107 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:18,560 And in entertainment news, Sydney Sweeney is set to embody the role of Christy Martin, 108 00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:25,080 a notable prize fighter from the 90s, known as

champion but faced severe personal challenges, including an attempted murder by her husband 111 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,840 and manager, Jim Martin. 112 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:45,640 Sweeney, moving beyond her previous roles, including her notable work in Euphoria, is 113 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:51,200 eager to undertake a significant physical transformation for the role, embracing a rigorous 114 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,120 training regimen and a high protein diet. 115 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,600 This role offers her a chance to showcase her versatility and strength in a demanding 116 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,200 physical and dramatic portrayal. 117 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:08,280 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 118 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:14,040 And today,
