MARS 2020 launch and digital hyper-acceleration delayed during pandemic

Santiago Pérez Hoyos reviews the news of space and astronomical exploration. Josep Lluís Micó presents the book Hiperaceleración, the digital revolution in the era of the coronavirus. The launch of the NASA Mars 2020 mission is delayed again for a few days . A line of sensors has provided unusual data and additional analysis time is required. They are considering extending the launch period until August 15 and are examining whether it can be extended even a little further. 2020 was to be the year of Mars, with several missions to the red planet to analyze such relevant issues as whether there has been life there in the past. Mars is still going to give us a lot of play, although 2020, I am afraid, already remains in our memory as the year of COVID 19. Santiago Pérez Hoyos, professor at the UPV-EHU School of Engineering and member of the science research group planetaria , join us today to review these and other astronomical news. The pandemic, by the way, has led to an acceleration in the use of digital technologies: artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, the internet of things. Today we present a book entitled Hyperaceleration that analyzes how the digital revolution is advancing in the time of the coronavirus. Its authors are the journalist Patricia Coll and our guest, Josep Lluís Micó, professor at the Blanquerna School of Communication and International Relations. And to finish experiments with Manu Hernández: the chocolate elevator and the explanation of why the jugs have two holes. tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech
