Quote:Saudi Arabia has approved granting Saudi citizenship to scientists, doctors, researchers, entrepreneurs, and other individuals with rare skills, experience, and specializations.

According to a royal decree, the kingdom has offered citizenship to talented individuals in medical, scientific, cultural, sports, and technical fields to achieve its goals. The initiative is part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 programme to create an attractive environment for investing in human capital and attracting skilled labour.

This move is expected to help bolster the kingdom’s economic, health, cultural, sports, and innovation sectors by bringing in prominent experts and specialists.

In December 2021, Saudi leadership approved a similar initiative, granting citizenship to prominent individuals in these fields. This ongoing effort has underscored the kingdom’s commitment to enhancing its development across various sectors by leveraging global expertise.

Quote:SpaceX successfully launched additional Starlink satellites Wednesday, adding to its fleet of over 6,000 satellites providing internet connectivity to pizza box-sized antennas and now directly to cell phones. The launch took place at 4:55 a.m., just before sunrise, at a time for visibility in the Carolinas.

"We were able to see this because it happened at the perfect time," said WRAL meteorologist Chris Michaels. "Sunrise at RDU Wednesday is at 6:04 a.m., meaning that the sun had risen farther east. That sun being lower in the sky helped to illuminate the rocket trail, to where it was visible this far west."
