Giles documented his father’s every move on Instagram while on board the expedition yacht. My father s world record-breaking descent into the Mariana Trench s deepest point, #TheChallengerDeep, has begun, he posted, early on Friday morning. Captain Hamish Harding s venture will take over twelve hours to complete, and as of now, he is 2% of the way through his mission. Hold your breath and see you on the other side with #OneMoreRecord!
At noon UAE time on Friday, Giles said his father had completed the traversal across the Challenger Deep and started his ascent to the surface. .
And by 3.35pm, Mr Harding
“That’s six times the volume of concrete used to build the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai.” That 880-metre-high marvel in the desert is the tallest building in the world. So the concept helped to convey how enormous the project is. And if it works for illustrating volume, it can work for making the costs understandable as well. The trouble with using dollar values is that all the zeros get confusing. Billions and millions sound the same and can get juxtaposed. Using “Burj Khalifas” might make it easier as the project proceeds. The tower in the desert cost about $1.6 billion. So the Site C project went from about 5 BKs to 6.5 BKs after the NDP rethink and restart in 2017. After the independent review last week, it shot up to 10 BKs.

KEY POINTS
A huge asteroid will make its close approach to Earth on March 21
The asteroid measures about 1.1 miles in diameter, making it twice the size of the tallest manmade structure in the world
The asteroid does not pose any danger to Earth despite its size and proximity
NASA s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) is keeping a close eye on a massive asteroid that is currently making its way toward Earth. The space rock is about twice the size of Burj Khalifa, the tallest manmade structure in the world.
