Japanese scientists clone a bull

On Thursday, Japanese scientists successfully cloned a bull of a brand of beef. How did they do it? 13 years ago, they froze the testicles of a bull named Yasufuku without any special kind of treatment. Once thawed out, they use the testicles as a specimen of the cloning. Once the bull was cloned, sparked the idea of cloned beef. Japanese scientists are now currently studying the safety of cloned beef, and might be allowed in the U.S and Europe.

The shuttle, The Columbia, exploded about 65,500 feet away above Earth when it was coming back from a 16 day space mission to land on Florida. Multiple alarms went off in the cabin as the astronauts tried to regain control the pilots attempted to restart the auxilary power unit two and three. Suddenly, there was a sudden decompression in the cabin causing the astronauts to be unconscious. Moments later, a chunk of insulation broke off from the shuttle's external fuel tank, later resulting to The Columbia's explosion.
