Please, post and/or discuss something nice happening in the world today. Explain what's happening, who's affected, and why it's a "positive" world event.

I'm going to nominate the US's renewed plans for space exploration, and other countries' astronomical adventures. I believe Japan is soon to get involved?

Space exploration is a great way of unifying the global scientific community, and people in general, by expanding knowledge and the parameters of discovery. Sure, it's expensive and time-consuming, but there's a limitless universe out there waiting to be revealed. I'm glad we're making progress.
