The age of space exploration is unfolding worldwide. Numerous space companies are emerging and finding their own strategies to enter space.



Boryeong is making full-fledged advances into the space healthcare sector. It is judged that space, which is currently centered on artificial satellites and launch vehicles, will expand into the health sector in the future. It is believed that experiments that are impossible on the ground will be possible in space.



An opportunity has been prepared to gauge Boryeong's strategy for entering the 'space healthcare' sector. The Korea Aerospace Industry Promotion Association (Chairman Kang Gu-young, Aerospace Association) held the '9th Aerospace Leaders Breakfast Forum' at the Seoul Club Hall of the Korea Press Center on the 26th.



Boryeong CEO Kim Jeong-gyun gave a special lecture. In a special lecture on the topic of "Multi-planetary Human Life Enabler," CEO Kim said, "Most people still think of 'space' as nothing more than satellites and launch vehicles, but there are endless things that humans can do in space," and "It is inevitable to utilize space to solve human health problems and problems in space."



CEO Kim predicted, "With the advancement of technology and the participation of private companies, more people will head to space more frequently, further, and for longer periods of time." Boryeong declared that its goal is to ensure that people who go to space can do so safely and healthily, and to develop technologies that could not be developed on Earth by utilizing the space environment to solve essential problems.

The core strategies promoted by Borum are: △Humans In Space (promoting investment and challenge programs to create a space medicine research ecosystem and secure technology), △Life Science Infrastructure (securing infrastructure for space healthcare research and strengthening global cooperation), and △Humans In Space Youth (discovering creative ideas and supporting experiments for students, the future generation).



Borum is paying attention to the fact that the period of time humans will stay in space is getting longer and the possibility of more diverse people staying in space is increasing. It has begun pioneering the space healthcare field since 2022. It is discovering and fostering startups related to space healthcare through the 'Care In Space (CIS) Challenge'.



From 2023, it will launch the 'Humans In Space (HIS) Program' in cooperation with global partners to support and seek solutions for human activities in space.



CEO Kim emphasized that cooperation between the private sector and the government is essential for the Republic of Korea to leap forward as a space powerhouse.



He emphasized, "Just as the Age of Exploration that began in Portugal expanded the world view of mankind, now we must look not at the world map but at space," and "South Korea must also strategically cooperate with the private sector and the government to strengthen its leading role in the space healthcare industry that we can excel in." He continued,



"Boryeong will provide South Korea with an opportunity to establish itself as a global center of space life science research by building a 'Life Science Infrastructure' that connects the ground and space."



Boryeong has made strategic investments in Axiom Space, which is developing a private space station to replace the International Space Station (ISS), and Intuitive Machines, the first private company to successfully land on the moon.



It has also been laying the foundation for exploring new business opportunities in space, such as by launching the joint venture Braxspace.

Livestock Manure Methane Is Soaring, But ‘Resource Recovery’ Isn’t Working [Now is a Climate Crisis]

Image
It has been pointed out that the methane emissions from the livestock waste treatment process were actually reported to be 2.5 times smaller than the previous calculation standards. It is expected that livestock waste will increase rapidly in the future, but an analysis report has been released that 'biogasification', which turns it into a resource, is only at the 10% level. It is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane, one of the greenhouse gases, is expected to increase rapidly. According to the analysis of the entire livestock waste treatment process for the first time in Korea, the largest source of methane emissions was pigs (73%), and only 14% of pig waste was used for biogas in the public sector. It has been pointed out that it is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane from livestock waste is increasing rapidly but 'resource conversion' is insufficient.

"TSMC to have 2nm line with monthly production capacity of 50,000 sheets by year-end"

Image
There is a report that TSMC, the world's largest foundry, is expected to have a 2nm process line capable of producing around 50,000 sheets per month by the end of this year. TSMC [Photo = TSMC] Taiwanese economic media Commercial Times reported on the 24th (local time) that TSMC's 2nm process production capacity could reach 50,000 sheets per month by the end of the year, and could increase to 80,000 sheets once the Baoshan and Kaohsiung factories are fully operational. TSMC's Baoshan factory is scheduled to receive its first order for the second half of this year from April 1, and its Kaohsiung factory in southern Taiwan is also reported to hold an expansion ceremony on the 31st. Kuo Ming-chi, an analyst at TF International, claimed via X (formerly Twitter) that "TSMC's 2nm trial production yield had already reached 60-70% three months ago, and is now well above that." TSMC has already secured an overwhelming share of th...
