AT&T has just recently announced it will equip all 19,000 Delta Air Lines flight attendants with iPhone 12 devices in order for the employees to use AT&T's 5G network and improve the overall travel experience. The Delta flight attendants will all use the network's augmented reality through the phones.

Elon Musk explains why rockets should be bigger

Elon Musk answered why rockets should be bigger by sharing an article in a tweet. In an article, a group of US and European space agency experts attended a particular week-long exercise led by NASA. The exercise discussed a hypothetical scenario involving an asteroid that was 35 million miles away. However, there's a possibility it could hit Earth within just six months.

The participants studied the asteroid's size, trajectory, and even how big was the chance of impact. 

Although no asteroids show threat currently, NASA and other agencies are attempting to prepare for this possible situation because asteroids estimated size is 460 feet or even bigger.
