United States: The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has announced it is suing Mr. Elon Musk’s SpaceX. The rocket firm allegedly discriminates against refugees and asylum seekers in its hiring process. SpaceX falsely claimed that it was not allowed to hire non-US citizens, the DoJ said in a statement. SpaceX has to follow rules for shipping specific items abroad, but US law doesn’t demand that companies treat asylum seekers and refugees differently from citizens or green card holders, according to the Department. The Justice Department plans to request court-ordered fines for SpaceX and pursue compensation for asylum seekers and refugees…

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas emitted from energy (natural gas and petroleum systems), industry, agriculture, land use, and waste management activities. The researchers from California University Long Beach suggested a method of removing methane by using a group of bacteria known as methanotrophs to naturally convert methane to carbon dioxide and biomass. The lead researcher Ms. Mary E. Lidstrom noted that “all the bacteria in this group ‘eat’ methane, removing it from the air and converting part…
United States: The United States said it was imposing visa sanctions on Chinese officials pursuing “forced assimilation” of children in Tibet.

Chandrayaan-3, which means “mooncraft” in Sanskrit, is scheduled to put down its Vikram lander shortly after 6 PM India time near the little-explored lunar south pole in what would be a world first for any space programme.

If Chandrayaan-3 is successful, India will be the first country to land near the Moon’s not-so-explored south…
