"As long as they bring the samples back to the curation facility within 100 hours, there will only as little contamination as promised at the beginning of the project."  "The sealing capability of the capsule is great," he said Monday.



'In our fragmented body politic, it would take an extraordinary politician to do what is necessary.' But the New Deal programs stemmed from bold visions that could be implemented by political leaders, he cautioned.

"The World Players Association has affiliates throughout the world and when sports of the level of the NBA, the National Hockey League, Major League Baseball, international rugby... the football leagues in Europe are closing down because of the pandemic, the IOC was looking almost incredibly hopeful to the extent of being naive."

MANCHESTER, England, April 28 (Reuters) - Research from Germany and Italy suggests that footballers and other athletes face a particular risk of the coronavirus infecting their lungs, raising major questions over attempts to restart professional soccer.

There was stagflation in the 1970s. Untamed financial markets fueled a housing bubble during the 2000s. And at the end of 2019, no major economist forecasting this year envisioned that a pandemic would throw the world into turmoil.

As it came to a close, it was obvious the stunning finale and recovery operations would be bittersweet for the team. Masaki Fujimoto, deputy director of JAXA's Institute for Space and Astronautical Science, says the mission has been one of the defining moments of his life.

In their paper: "The First, Comprehensive Immunological Model of COVID-19", Paolo Matricardi, Roberto Dal Negro and Roberto Nisini raise questions over the safety of playing while the virus remains at large.

ATHENS, April 28 (Reuters) - Professional athletes across the world should not be rushed back to action once the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, and they must have a strong say in determining the conditions for their return, the World Players Association said on Tuesday.



Football is a contact sport and we feel very high protection standards are required," said FIFPro secretary general Jonas Baer-Hoffmann. Soccer's global players' union FIFPro has also urged caution. "We need guidance and protocols on how to return in a healthy and safe manner.

One of the scientists there to meet it was Tsuda Yuichi, project manager on the mission.  -- well within 100 hours. A plane carrying the sample capsule landed at Haneda Airport in Japan at 7:20 a.m., local time, on Tuesday. The capsule was removed from the aircraft and ferried to the ISAS facility at Sagamihara by 11:27 a.m.



Initial analysis occurred in Woomera. The recovery of the capsule took place in the predawn dark of the outback, and confirmation of the capsule's collection was confirmed early on Dec. But the mission isn't quite over yet. The team then shipped the capsule via a chartered flight from Australia to Japan, where it will be ferried to JAXA for further analysis.



The sample entered the Earth's atmosphere moving at 7.5 miles per second, but as it hit the dense atmosphere it slowed down to around 110 yards per second, throwing off its heat shield and deploying its parachute. After gliding for about 20 minutes, it landed on the red, Mars-like plains of the WPA. 



BERN, March 24 (Reuters) - A change of culture is needed at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to make decision-making more inclusive, an association representing 85,000 athletes around the world said on Tuesday, following the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics to 2021.

From April this year, eligible individual Bupa customers, and small and large business customers funding health insurance for their staff, can expect to receive a payment equivalent to around one month's premium.

The Defence Department manages the Woomera Prohibited Area, a huge swath of land, about half the size of the UK, where the capsule . Outback adventure The Australian Space Agency and the country's Department of Defence played a significant role in the capsule's safe return. Road closures kept residents from passing through the region for almost 12 hours, as a precautionary measure.

But others were crafted to remake society. Social Security was instituted to save the elderly from poverty, federal insurance on banks to renew trust in the financial system, minimum wage and labor rights to redistribute the balance of power between employer and employee.

It surprised, dazzled, then disappeared in a flash. In the early hours of Sunday morning, the sample capsule of Japan's Hayabusa2 spacecraft plunged through the atmosphere over the mining town of Coober Pedy in South Australia, blazing an ephemeral trail of fire through the sky.
