Luxembourg has become the first country in the world to make public transportation free. The European country made the move to reduce car traffic, as cars account for nearly half of travel for work, and 71% of travel for leisure.
Public transportation will be free to all riders beginning in 2020 as the country struggles to deal with some of the worst congestion in Europe and air pollution in its capital city.
A few months back, Luxembourg announced its intention to become a leader in asteroid mining. Now, Luxembourg has revealed the first step in its plan to fill the banking vaults with space-grade platinum: a small, water-powered spacecraft.
