Experiments on board. Earlier, the 18 year old creator of the satellite, rifath sharook, spoke to the bbc along with his mentor, dr shreematee kaysun.

So it is a big challenge for us, how we design a small counter that will also work fine in this mission. Going to mars has become a real craze for children.

Dollars are well spent. From the standpoint about the concerns of the services provided, we think when you allow states to weaken the standards, and we have seen again, how states have used waivers to, in effect, create a day facto weakening of standards standards. We are deeply concerned. Well, i understand the need for flexzblety. But if the only principle here is that the states can do whatever they want, then they should raise their entaxes to pay for it. Throwing billions of federal dollars at the states with no accountability for the states of how they spend taxpayer money is not what we were sent here to do. So, thank you. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thank you, senator warren. And i did welcome senator collins to the committee, which i should. Were delighted to have her back.

Robust across the portfolio, as people deploy these things, they all come to us and say we know how to cut the cost of our first project. Well just do the second project instead. The second project is always cheaper than the first by a lot. 20 to 30 is a very typical kind of number. I want to dwell on this for a moment because it helps make the point that i made earlier. An Environmental Group approached them and said youre going to spend 1. 4 billion on this project, thats a lot of money. How about you put a bunch of different solar panels, wind farms, do a bunch of efficiency measures, and that will be a better use of your money, better for your company, and it will be better for your customers. Reasoned, impassed pitch. The president said you know were in canada, right . Its dark here half the year. And when its dark is when we need the energy. Solar isnt a really great solution for us.
