It works on the discovery, development and commercialisation of drugs used to treat diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Afrezza, a rapid-acting insulin therapy being developed for the control of hyperglycemia in adults with type one or type two diabetes, is the company's lead product candidate. MKC1106 and MKC204 are two other products being developed for the treatment of different types of cancer.
does it take a year to reach the outer space? Reply. The American space shuttle (now retired) achieved this height of 100km at approximately 2 minutes 30 seconds into flight, then reached its initial orbit at an altitude between 300 and 500km generally at about 8 minutes 30 seconds into the flight. The Russian Soyuz rocket achieves similar times.
This is an average number. Remember, the Earth follows an elliptical orbit around the Sun, ranging from 147 million to 152 million km. At its closest point, sunlight only takes 490 seconds to reach Earth. And then at the most distant point, it takes 507 seconds for sunlight to make the journey. But the story of light gets even more interesting, when you think about the journey light needs to make inside the Sun.
