Last night, SpaceX Ilona Mask launched into space the first Falcon Heavy missile with a test cargo in history - a “Tesla” mask on board. It is already known that the car will miss the orbit of Mars, which was its goal, and will fly further into the asteroid belt, but otherwise the launch was successful.

• If last night you did not watch the live broadcast of the launch, it is worth watching the record - the event is really historical, and the Musk show, as always, organized perfectly.
• Falcon Heavy is the first private super-hungry space rocket in history and the most difficult in the world since the 1970s.
• For the mask, the main task of the project is to prepare for an even larger BFR program, which should send a person to Mars in 2020. The company plans to recoup the Falcon Heavy by launching heavy military satellites, but since 2011, when the program has started, this market has decreased due to the miniaturization of satellites, NYT notes .
• In 2017, SpaceX became the world leader in the number of successful commercial space launches, bypassing Roscosmos (18 versus 17). According to the company's own assessment, its share of the world market amounted to 45%, in 2018, SpaceX is going to take 60%.
• The main competitor of SpaceX, the American United Launch Alliance (SP Boeing and Lockheed Martin), has its own missile of a similar class Delta IV Heavy. But its launch costs 2-4 times more-$ 160-400 million against $ 90 million, and the capacity is half as much.
• Roscosmos is also going to build his super -heavy missile and spend 1 trillion rubles on the project, but it will fly no earlier than 2030. The Roscosmos believes that now there is no payload for such a rocket.

What am I to me?

In addition to the fact that it is just beautiful, the successful start of SpaceX is another step of the mask to really start a person to Mars in the foreseeable future. And also - another evidence that private space business is more effective than state.

MONEY

The ruble increased the forecast

Analysts appreciated the recommendation of the US Treasury not impose sanctions on Russian public debt - large banks this week improved the ruble forecast. Gazprombank now predicts 57 rubles/by the end of 2018 instead of 61, Societe Generale 58.2 instead of 62.1, Citibank - in general 54.6 rubles/$. Reviews his forecast and Nordea, which in January predicted a quick weakening of the Russian currency. As the fall of the American stock market will affect the ruble, it is not yet clear - if the correction remains one -time, there will be no serious influence, but the continuation of the decline can cause investors from ruble assets.

The market has grown, volatility remained

The American and Asian markets give reasons for optimism - yesterday after the opening of the S&P500 and Dow Jones, they fluctuated between growth and fall, but in the end they finished the session in a plus by 1.7% and 2.3%, respectively. But this is probably not the end of the story. Traiders are sure that the market remains volatile and do not exclude a new correction - and the fact that the Asian markets this morning reluctantly grow after the American, partially confirms this.

PRACTICE

It is better to leave children at home

None of the Russian kindergartens in the ranking of the Ministry of Education and Science for 2017 received for their work above the Troika - although the percentage of higher assessments back in 2014 was 4.6%. And the leaders of the rating in the absence of Moscow (there did not provide data), St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region were expected to become expected, then the Stavropol and Krasnoyarsk Territory go. The department also took into account the sanitary and hygienic state of the kindergarten, safety, qualifications of teachers and computers and electronic equipment. However, most parents are still satisfied with the quality of kindergartens.

Who is in "Teremke"

The founder of the Teremok Pancake network, Mikhail Goncharov, constantly communicates with clients on Twitter and controls every detail in his institutions - the only way he can compete with McDonald's. Goncharov’s something is obtained-the network already has 8.1 billion rubles of revenue and a network of 300 restaurants, including two in New York. Goncharov told INC about the difficulties of doing business in Russia and how to survive if customers have a purchasing power in the crisis.

Fun

Supervision under the detector

Ask any banker if he trusts the Central Bank to employees - and you will hear a lot of interesting things. In the Central Bank itself, they are also far from trusting its own employees - the regulator decided to check banking supervision employees on a lie detector. Questions may concern the “corruption component” and information leaks, and the supervisory unit employees are seriously concerned, “Vedomosti” write.
