📄 Chocolate in Danger of Becoming Extinct Chocolate may be in danger of becoming extinct by the middle of this century. Pests and fungal diseases have been found in cacao trees that may endanger the crop's survival. In addition, cacao is also under attack by global warming. Trees grow in a very small area about 20° north and south of the equator, where humidity and temperatures are the same all year round. By 2050 rising temperatures and drier weather will push cacao production up into mountainous areas, many of which are home to wild animals. Scientists from the University of California are trying to save the plant. Together with researchers from the American food company Mars, they are trying to grow cacao seeds that are more resistant and can grow at higher altitudes. Most of the world's cacao production comes from two countries in western Africa, Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana. These areas may not be suitable for cacao production in the decades to come. Millions of farmers depend on cacao for a living. 📑 Daily articles 👈 join 📰 Instagram ⚡️

📄 First Manned Landing on the Moon - 50 Years Ago 50 years ago, on July 20th, 1969, Apollo 11 astronauts Neill Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set their foot on the moon. The United States had won the space race with the Soviet Union. After taking off from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida on July 16th the lunar module Eagle landed on the moon's surface. Four days after the lunar landing Apollo 11 successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean. The race to the moon began in 1962 when President John F Kennedy declared that America would land a man on the moon by the end of the decade. In the following years, the American space agency NASA received large amounts of government funding in order to achieve a lunar landing. The Apollo spacecraft consisted of the command and service module, as well as the lunar landing module that would bring two astronauts to the moon's surface and take off again to successfully dock with the command module. A powerful rocket, the Saturn V, was built to escape from Earth's orbit. NASA's space programme suffered a catastrophic setback in 1967 when three Apollo astronauts died in a fire while practicing on the ground at Cape Kennedy. About 600 million people around the world watched the historic moon landing. Neill Armstrong's first words on the moon are among the most famous in history: "One small step for man , one giant leap for mankind". All in all, the Apollo programme sent 9 spacecraft to the moon in the 60s and 70s . Six of them landed astronauts on the lunar surface. About 400 kilos of lunar rock were collected and brought back to earth. 50 years after the first moon landing events all across the US have been organised to celebrate this historic and technological achievement. 📑 Daily articles 👈 join 📰 Instagram ⚡️

📄 2017 Safest Year in Air Travel According to world aviation officials, 2017 was recorded as the safest year in air travel. There were no deaths caused by commercial plane crashes last year. However, the total number of people killed on civilian aircraft and cargo planes has increased slightly. The deadliest incident occurred in January 2017 when a Turkish cargo jet crashed into a village in rural Kyrgyzstan as it tried to land in foggy weather. All four crew members and 35 people on the ground were killed. Over the past 20 years, fatalities caused by commercial jetliners have sunken steadily. In 2005, for example, over a thousand people were killed on board commercial flights. Air travel has become very safe. It is estimated that the accident rate is at 0.06 per one million flights or one fatal accident every 16 million flights. According to flight experts, chances are that the zero death toll on commercial airlines will not be repeated. Because there are over 37 million flights every year, some kind of accident involving the death of passengers is bound to happen in the near future. The decline in passenger deaths is due to increased safety measures by the airline industry. Airplanes are becoming more robust and airlines tend to buy newer, more modern aircraft. But aviation officials are worried about the risk of in-flight fires caused by an increase in lithium-ion batteries that are being brought on board, mostly through smartphones and notebooks. Among the world's largest countries, the UK has the best air-safety record. Since the end of the 1980s, there has been no fatal accident involving a British plane. In contrast, African countries have the worst safety records. 📑 Daily articles 👈 join 📰 Instagram ⚡️
