Tom Hanks, 67, Hollywood star and space fan, can imagine that the first birth will take place on the moon in just a few years. This would be the “next big moment in human evolution,” the US actor told BBC Radio 4. One day a woman will become pregnant on the moon. “Perhaps the best solution then is to leave them up there and welcome the first truly alien-born human,” he said. The 67-year-old is currently promoting a new exhibition entitled “The Moonwalkers” about the US space agency Nasa’s lunar missions, which is scheduled to open in London in December and in whose conception and implementation he was involved.
Princess Charlène, 45, cannot understand where the constant separation rumors about her and her husband Prince Albert come from. In an interview with the South African broadcaster “News24” she denied the rumors again and said: “Everything is fine with our marriage.” She finds the rumors grueling and stressful. “It seems to me like certain media or people want to see us break up.” Even before her wedding to the regent in July 2011, the first rumors about the authenticity of her love had arisen.
