Bullet trains to the moon and Mars? What is Japan's plan for an interplanetary journey connecting Earth, Moon, and Mars?

Researchers from Japan’s Kyoto University, in a joint effort with Kajima Construction, are dealing with plans to introduce a space-powered Bullet Train that could revive the space travel industry. As a collaboration with Kajima Construction, researchers at Kyoto University, Japan have announced the construction of an artificial space region between the interplanetary train connecting Earth, Moon, and Mars, as the world sees the beginning of the next Space Race. It seems that sci-fi films could turn into the real world if Japanese technology was accepted. Humans can traverse different planets on the train soon! Indeed, you read it correctly. Japan has spread plans in an attempt to send humans to Mars and the Moon. In a press conference last week, the group announced its futuristic intention to encourage the life structure of the ‘Glass’ region that duplicates Earth’s gravity, terrain and climate to prevent human musculoskeletal ‘weakening’ in non-existent and low-gravity environments

A 'silver bullet' that could improve Australia's lagging uptake of electric vehicles

Australia’s uptake of electric vehicles (EV) is lagging, but tax experts say they have a “silver bullet solution” that will boost sales and help increase the supply of cheaper used EVs. Key points: Business fleets account for 40 percent of light vehicle sales, but almost no electric vehicles Federal tax law acts as a disincentive, experts say Changing this could quickly drive EV uptake and provide consumers with a cheaper supply of used EVs The Commonwealth-funded climate-focused research center RACE for 2030 has released a report recommending tax reforms similar to those in Europe to encourage fleet managers to buy EVs, rather than internal combustion engine (ICEV) vehicles. Prepared by tax experts from the universities of Monash and Griffith, the report describes a sad situation: business fleets (which include government and corporate vehicles) account for 40 percent of light vehicle sales, but almost no electric vehicles. Of the more than 600,000 passenger vehicles and light SUVs so
