When considering human settlements on the Moon, Mars and further afield, much attention is given to the travel times, food and radiation risk. We’ll undoubtedly face a harsh environment in deep space and some thinkers have been pointing to genome editing as a way to ensure that humans can tolerate the severe conditions as they

Oppo’s Reno handsets, now widely available in South Africa, tend to be decent performers for the price and the new Oppo Reno 12 Pro 5G is no different. Right now you have a couple of choices when picking one up — a R750/m contract or you can buy it outright for R17,300 (down from the
