February 6. The new SpaceX missile starts - with Tesla and the song "Space Oddity"

Main

The body of the military pilot Roman Filipov, who died in Syria on February 3, was delivered to his homeland . He was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Russia. On the eve of Fontanka,she found that by his personal number and date of birth (they were published by Syrian militants), anyone can go into the pilot’s personal account on the Ministry of Defense’s website without a password - and find out, for example, his salary.

The court in Moscow arrested the former Prime Minister of Dagestan Abdusamad Gamidov and several other officials suspected of embezzlement of more than 100 million rubles. The head of the republic, Vladimir Vasiliev, with whose name they associate the arrests, suggested that the head of the government of the Minister of Economy of Tatarstan make it. According to unconfirmed reports, the President of the Republic Rustam Minnikhanov advised him to recruit personnel in Tatarstan.

The Moscow City Hall spoke about cases of attack on janitors and snow -removing equipment, which at night are trying to clear the city of a record amount of snow. It turned out that Muscovites throw eggs at them and even shoot from traumatic .

The collapse of stock markets

After the successful 2017 and record growth for the stock markets in early January, February 5–6, the first large collapse in the last years occurred on the exchanges: the American Dow Jones and S&P 500 fell by more than 4.5% (which, however, cannot be compared with the largest collapses in history). As the deputy head of the "Medusa" Alexander Polivanov explains , with such a sharp growth, "Correction Days" are inevitable-when someone, waiting for a fall, begins to play for a decrease.

Who was allowed before the election

The CEC registered presidential candidate Vladimir Putin, and also named the names of those who collected a sufficient number of signatures. If nothing happens unforeseen, the ballot will look like this:

And also about the presidential election. Today, Yuri Dud has published an interview with the Communist Party candidate Pavel Grudinin. Here is his retelling . If completely briefly: Grudinin called Stalin the best leader over the past hundred years, said that Putin was not to blame for all troubles, and admitted that Russia should recognize the self -proclaimed republics in the Donbass. He also promised to shave his mustache if he gains less than 15%.

Launch of the new SpaceX missile

Ilona Mask company is going to launch Falcon Heavy today - a super -heavy class missile, which can bring up to 63 tons of cargo into orbit (there are no other such carriers now). The cargo will be the personal “Tesla” of Ilona Mask, in which David Bowie’s song “Space Oddity” will play. It will be possible to follow the launch here , it should occur in the window from 21:30 to 0:30 Moscow time. If something goes wrong, the start can be transferred to tomorrow.

A shameful question about human cloning

Recently, the first successful cloning of primates was announced. Questions appeared: is it possible to clone a person today and why do scientists do not do this? We asked them to answer the biologist Konstantin Severinov.

The personality is formed not only by genetics, but also by the upbringing, time and place in which the person was born and formed, various random causes and meetings and other factors. Therefore, human clones will not be the same personalities (for example, one -eating twins are similar to each other outwardly, but, of course, they are different people with their own lives, addictions, different dates, places and causes of death). Therefore, so far there are no government regimes in which people can use people on conditional shirts, cloning people is not dangerous. It is dangerous if the appearance of such modes will become possible.
