5 RENOWNED AMERICAN WEAPONS THAT ARE MADE OBSOLETE BY S 400

US Navy’s second Ford class supercarrier USS John F. Kennedy is now 50% complete as per shipbuilder Huntington Ignalls. The midpoint in construction is reached 14 months earlier when compared to USS Gerald R. Ford due to the modular approach in construction.

Ford class supercarriers are being built to replace some of the United States Navy’s existing Nimitz-class carriers. The first ship of this class is Gerald R. Ford.

Nimitz class carriers have been the face of the US Navy and have enabled power projection far off from the US homeland.
USS Nimitz, lead ship of Nimitz class was commissioned in 1975.

The Nimitz class has been able to accommodate many new technologies over the decades, but the Nimitz design has now reached its threshold and this is where Ford class comes in.

USS John F. Kennedy will utilize the latest technological advances and incorporate major improvements over the Nimitz class.
With USS John F. Kennedy, the US Navy will have two 'state of the art' supercarrier with another 3 in the pipeline.

In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why USS John F. Kennedy will be the worst nightmare for Russia & China?

This is exciting!
" ...The work may lay the groundwork for therapies for eye diseases such as color blindness and macular degeneration. It also establishes lab-created “organoids”—artificially grown organ tissue—as a model to study human development on a cellular level.

“Everything we examine [in a retina organoid] looks like a normal developing eye, just growing in a dish,” says Robert Johnston, a developmental biologist at Johns Hopkins University. “You have a model system that you can manipulate without studying humans directly.” ..._

Magnificent Planetary Alignment - The Five Brightest Planets Align in the Night Sky

On October 15 up to 17, 2018 – watch the waxing moon move from Saturn to Mars on the sky’s dome. Saturn and Mars are bright planets and therefore rather easy to see with the eye alone.

Pluto
On October 16th, the moon will swing by the dwarf planet Pluto before it meets up with Mars. Although Pluto lodges in the section of sky between Saturn and Mars, to see this extremely faint world, you need a telescope.

By the way, a modest backyard telescope is quite sufficient for viewing Saturn’s glorious rings, and Mars' polar cap. Try it tonight, as soon as darkness falls.
You can catch the king planet Jupiter and the bright star Antares low at southwest. http://earthsky.org/tonight/moon-saturn-and-mars-on-october-14-17

Planetary Alignment
For the second time this year, the five brightest planets can be seen at the same time. You can catch them by looking towards the western sky after sunset. Southern hemisphere sky watchers will be able to see the planets forming a line rising up from the horizon.

Mercury and Venus are low to the west, with bright Jupiter shining just above. Higher up in the southwestern sky is Saturn, and completing the set of five is the red planet Mars, high overhead.

By 2050 more than 70% of us will live in an urban area and, while urbanization can have many benefits – it’s also associated with increased levels of mental illness, including depression. The experiment below found that “
participants who went on a 90-min walk through a natural environment reported lower levels of rumination and showed reduced neural activity in an area of the brain linked to risk for mental illness compared with those who walked through an urban environment. These results suggest that accessible natural areas may be vital for mental health in our rapidly urbanizing world.”
