Source: When digital nomads come to town

Summary
Digital nomads, mostly employed in the US tech sector, are flocking to worldwide hotspots like Medellín. This influx raises living costs, which can damage the local economy. However, it can also foster the development of prosperous and tranquil neighborhoods catering to the needs of nomads.

🧭 Digital nomads prefer safe and prosperous urban city destinations where they can be productive, and not beachside locations.

💸 The gap between the incomes of Colombian professionals and nomads in areas like Laureles means residents’ costs of living will go up rather than go down when travelers arrive.

The agency’s Mars Express orbiter’s camera recorded the planet every 50 seconds, with the pictures transmitted directly back to Earth, to mark the 20th anniversary of the spacecraft’s launch. Most images from other missions are several hours or days old by the time they reach Earth.

🚀 Livestreaming deep space missions has so far been possible in only a few instances, including the famous Apollo missions, which showed astronauts walking on the moon and the DART and LCROSS missions, which involved crashing craft into asteroids and the moon, respectively.
