Facebook updates and videos that he shot on aGoPro camera.He shared everything from his physical struggles withsunburn and wind to his successful attempts at fishing.Because he didnt have a support vehicle following on his trip,he packedfood,a desalination(海 水 淡 化)system for drinking water,and othernecessities to last for his entire journey.His vessel(船)was a combination of a paddleboard and a small boat.Ithad a small watertight room for sleeping and storage,and weighed 1,543pounds.Solar panels kept his GPS,satellite phone and router(路 由器)charged.He said that on a good-weather day,he

22,2020,had just onepassengera human-like robot named Skybot F-850.The robot is the latest version of Russias FEDOR robots,which wereinitially designed to help with search and rescue efforts.Skybot is good atmany human skills,including driving a car,having short conversations,andeven telling jokes.But since it lacks some special skills,the spacecraft to theISS was piloted from the ground by scientists from Russias space agency,Roscosmos.The six-foot-tall,350-pound robot had another important task while onboard.Without risking the lives of human astronauts,it helped Roscosmosresearchers test the safety and flight experience of the new Soyuz-2.1,acarrier rocket,which carried the spacecraft into orbit.The feedback(反馈)willbe important in determining if the rocket is safe to transport future humancrews to space.Though the launch into orbit went smoothly,Skybots arrival at the ISSwas delayed by three days,from August 24 to August 27.The delay didntseem to bother the robot,which

century,Ebrumade its way to Turkey by the 16th century,where it was perfected.The artform remains popular in Turkey,with many painters using the technique tocreate attractive pieces,coveted by both collectors and tourists.Ebru artists begin by adding some gum to water to help increase thewaters viscosity(黏度)and prevent it from mixing with the paint.Thesolution(溶 液)is then poured into a wooden container with the samedimensions as the solid surface on which the painting will finally rest.Tokeep the colors afloat,and improve their ability to spread across the waterssurface,some drops of ox bile(胆汁)are mixed in with each color.To create the paintings,the artists first splash(泼洒)the paints on thewater using brushes made with horsehair.They then use droppers(滴管)tocarefully shape the colors and create the perfect designs.When complete，,an absorbent surface,such as paper,is carefully placed on top to get thepainting.Once dry,the artwork is flattened and polished by hand.Ebru was initially used for book covers or to decorate the inside pageswith wildly colorful papers.However,artists like Ay have added a moderntwist by using absorbent fabrics,glass,and wood as solid surfaces.Though Ay has created several amazing paintings since he began usingEbru in 2020,the most famous is his 2020 recreation of Vincent Van GoghsStarry Night.Those seeking a more modern Ebru creation is pleased
