Ion propulsion is a fantastical new way to power robots by accelerating ions instead of burning fuel or spinning rotors.

Irv Gotti on debuting Kanye West song “Brothers” on ‘TALES’ and Ye’s support for Trump: ‘He knows what he’s doing’
TALES is back on BET for its second season and the show created by Irv Gotti will debut a new song from Kanye West on Tuesday night. In “Brothers” Yeezy seems to address the ongoing tension between him and Jay-Z, and TheGrio sat down with the Murder Inc. founder to find out his thoughts on Mr. West.
“I got Kanye to agree to make a new song. It’s a brand new song on season premiere of TALES. You’ll see a two-hour movie that is associated with the song about the trials and tribulations of two brothers,” he says.
“I can get new songs from artists and turn them into two hour movies…I think about what I want and what I think the hip-hop culture wants.”
“Brothers” features Charlie Wilson and the TALES episode stars Elijah Kelley, Isaiah Washington, Draya Michele, and more.
“It’s a brand new record that I produced. I also directed the episode,” he says.

“Working with Kanye is fascinating because you never know you got him until you got him. Working with him, he dances to the beat of his own drum. If you want to talk Kanye and Donald Trump— and he gets so much flack for that, it’s not that he really f***s with Donald Trump…”
According to Gotti, West’s support for Trump,p has more to do with his desire to go against the grain than it does about his actual politics.
“He doesn’t like people telling him what he can and cannot do. He doesn’t care. You’re not going to tell him how to think or how to feel,” he says.
“He’s not a bad person. I love Kanye. Kanye is actually a super family man. He and Kim’s relationship is real. There’s real love there and they’re raising a family.”
Gotti also admitted he has a hard time buying the notion that West’s questionable behavior has to do with his mental illness.
“He wants to be crazy because he wants people to think and feel that he’s a genius. I’ve been around him, I’m not giving him that out. You’re my man, you ain’t crazy. Shut up. You know what you doing. That’s not to belittle mental health, but I just feel and think Kanye is smart and he knows what he’s doing,” he says.
“If you want to stop wearing the hat you can stop wearing the hat. If you want to wear the hat to announce your rebelliousness to the way things are then cool. Take the backlash that’s gonna come with it.”

Georgia family fires contractor after seeing a Confederate flag on his truck
A Black woman in Georgia canceled a job before it even began after a white, independent contractor showed up to her house with a Confederate flag attached to his truck.
Allison and Zeke Brown of Atlanta hired the contractor, named Michael, to fix their golf cart brakes but when he got to their home on Saturday, they couldn’t help but notice the gigantic rebel flag hanging from the back, according to Yahoo.

Allison knew her family wouldn’t be doing business with Michael, and she told him as much. She later posted the encounter on Ring.
“Hi, you know what, I do apologize, I know you’ve come from a very long way, but we’re going to use someone else,” Allison, 40, told Michael, according to Yahoo.
“She’s upset with the flag,” explained her husband, Zeke, 48.
“No, I’m beyond upset with the flag,” the 40-year-old radiation therapist responds.

Michael said he would remove the flag, but the damage was already done.
“No, you don’t need to take it down. You can continue to believe what you need to believe, sir. But no, I cannot pay you for your services. Thank you, have a good day,” Allison said, reported Yahoo.
After the video footage was posted on Ring, thousands viewed it and commented on how well she kept it together.
Allison explained how it all went down. She said when Michael first arrived, she didn’t initially see him because she was cleaning out her closet.
It was when her husband, Zeke, came into their bedroom and uttered: “God is testing me,” that she knew there was a problem.
“When my husband told me about the flag, I said, ‘Let me handle this,’” Allison said to Yahoo Lifestyle. She said the couple’s son left the house, sure of how his mom would respond.
“I didn’t want to be the ‘angry black woman’ but I wanted him to learn and feel that bottom-line loss,” Allison explains. “You don’t go to Germany and wave the Nazi flag. It’s the same thing.”
Zeke was left surprised. For three days, he had gone back and forth with the contractor over the logistics of the job. “He hadn’t been disrespectful prior, so seeing the flag did not fit my preconceptions,” Zeke told Yahoo. “The flag was absurd — I had to walk back into the house to calm myself down.”
The Browns said that they received another message from Michael after he left, which said: “I didn’t know the flag offended y’all.”
