As the 2017 Forbes rich list was revealed, it was exciting to learn that those achieving billionaire's status is on the rise. an additional 233 billionaires were added to the list, and for the first time in 31 years over 2,000 ten-figure fortunes have been recorded.

Mr Bill Gates continues to lead, taking the top spot for the fourth consecutive year. Mr Gates fortune is recorded at $86 billion, continuing his rein at near the top of the richest people in the world chart for the last 18 years.

This collective of smoking individuals is something any person seeking to board a train at the same station must pus...

Aurora Science 2017; UK Supports Space Exploration

The first mission in the Aurora programme, ExoMars, will search for traces of past and present life. The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, or TGO for short, will be sent out to detect and characterize trace gases in the Martian atmosphere and gain a better understanding of methane and other atmospheric gases that could be evidence of biological or geological activity on the pant service. Set to launch in 2020, the ExoMars rover will search the red planet for signs of biosignatures from past life preserved within the subsurface, using a 2m drill. Prior to the launch of ExoMars, InSight, a NASA mission set to launch next year, will investigate the interior structure and processes of Mars by placing a single geophysical lander on Mars to study its deep interior. The hope is that the data collected from this missing will help scientists to understand the formation and evolution of terrestrial planets and determine the present level of tectonic activity - the movement of the planets surf...
