Private industries have helped drop the cost of launching rockets, satellites and other equipment into space to historic lows. That has boosted interest in developing space – both for mining raw materials such as silicon for solar panels and oxygen for rocket fuel, as well as potentially relocating polluting industries off the Earth.

China doesn't understand Canadian judicial system: CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU

TORONTO -- Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

said Thursday that China doesn’t get that Canada has an independent judicial system and reiterated that Beijing imprisoned two Canadians in retaliation for the arrest of a top Huawei executive. Trudeau said Canada will continue to press Beijing to release Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, both detained since December 2018 in what is widely seen as retaliation for Canada’s arrest of Chinese Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of the company’s founder. Canadian police arrested Meng in Vancouver on a U.S. extradition request, and nine days later Kovrig and Spavor were arrested by the Chinese. “We have seen Chinese officials linking those two cases from the very beginning.
