Due to the United States visa restrictions, an increasing number of Chinese students have seen that getting accepted into top universities in the US is no guarantee that they will receive the education they had hoped to get.
Recently, more than 500 Chinese students who had received offers to pursue postgraduate studies as STEM majors (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) at US universities saw their hopes dashed when they were denied visas by the US government, sources say.

Sources told China Daily that Washington has kept playing a hypocritical, double-faced role in China-US education exchanges this year, as it encouraged US universities to enroll more Chinese students while failing visa applications from over 500 Chinese students who had obtained offers to pursue postgraduate study in STEM majors.
About a quarter of these students have won US scholarships, and the majority submitted visa applications after the new US administration took office, sources familiar with the matter told China Daily, on the condition of anonymity.

Rogue Space Systems’ ‘orbot’ has drawn interest from NASA and the Air Force
March 4, 2021
A Laconia company is hoping to fill a vacuum and is willing to send a satellite – you might think of it as a Roomba for low-earth orbit – into space to do it. If their plans pan out, the owners of Rogue Space Systems expect their venture might make space a little tidier and, by extension, a safer place to operate.
One of the two worst days in the history of space exploration occurred on Feb. 1, 2003, when the Space Shuttle Columbia broke apart as it re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere, killing all seven astronauts aboard and grounding the Space Shuttle program.
