spiders on mars may have been predicted by david bowie , but in fact spiders in space could help us get to the red planet . tether unlimited has revealed a system of robo spiders than can construct solar panels , trusses and other parts of spacecraft in orbit . the nasa-back firm says it could dramatically reduce the cost of building spacecraft by allowing the final construction to take place in orbit . scroll down for video . a quokka was the innocent victim of a cruel act by two french tourists who tried to set the australian animal alight . the two men allegedly ignited an aerosol spray with a lighter causing a large flame to make contact with a quokka on rottnest island off perth in western australia on april 3 . the lucky little critter survived the reckless incident but was singed by the flame . two french male tourists allegedly ignited an aerosol spray with a lighter causing a large flame to make contact with a quokka on rottnest island off perth in western australia on april 3 . detectives went to rottnest island on saturday and questioned the two men and also seized video evidence of the careless act . people who carry a lot of fat around their middles are three and a half times more likely to develop memory loss and dementia in old age , research shows . scientists have found that people with a lot of abdominal fat have lower levels of the protein that also controls how the liver metabolises fat . called pparalpha , it controls fat metabolism in the liver , but . it also resides in the brain 's memory centre -- the hippocampus -- and . controls memory and learning . the system uses arachnid-like robots to construct large objects in orbit around the earth by ` spinning ' building material into shape . both men aged 18 and 24 , and both currently living in cockburn central , were evicted from the island . they have each been charged with animal cruelty and will appear in fremantle magistrates court on april 17 . a small marsupial . the size of a domestic cat . spiderfab uses arachnid-like droids to construct large objects in orbit . spiderfab could cut construction costs by only launching raw materials such as carbon fibre into orbit . the robots can then piece together the materials while in orbit , finishing off the spacecraft . chelsea manager jose mourinho has heaped praise upon loic remy after the striker scored his second consecutive winner in the 2-1 victory over stoke on saturday . remy 's goal meant mourinho 's side took another step towards securing the premier league title with three points , despite an injury to diego costa . costa hobbled off 10 minutes after replacing oscar at half-time , with another hamstring problem leaving him set for a spell on the sidelines . remy scored chelsea 's winner against stoke in the game at stamford bridge on saturday . the futuristic new system -- dubbed spiderfab -- is being developed by a company called tethers unlimited . the system uses arachnid-like robots to construct large objects in orbit around the earth or further into the solar system . remy 's importance to chelsea could grow as diego costa left the stoke game injured . chelsea manager jose mourinho praised the professionalism and scoring ability of remy . but mourinho refused to let the injury dampen the significance of the win , instead lauding remy 's scoring instincts after the forward also netted the decisive strike when chelsea beat hull 3-2 in their last game before the international break . ` when eden -lrb- hazard -rrb- recovered the ball from a loose throw from asmir begovic , you could see immediately remy sprinted to score what i call an easy goal , but i love strikers to score easy goals , ' mourinho said . ` the tap-in when the goalkeeper has an incomplete save , attacking the ball on a low cross , rebounds - i love the easy goals from a striker . remy -lrb- centre -rrb- also netted chelsea 's winner against hull before the international break . mourinho said remy has already made a crucial contribution to chelsea despite not playing too often . ` remy keeps himself in great condition , even without having played many minutes , to be ready for us . ` he 's a great boy and his contribution is already crucial , with these two match-winners in the last two matches .

 The text discusses how people who carry excess fat around their middles are more likely to develop memory loss and dementia in old age. Researchers at Rush University Medical Center found that people with higher levels of abdominal fat were three times more likely to experience cognitive decline. The study suggests that reducing belly fat through diet and exercise may help prevent or slow down cognitive decline. Additionally, the researchers believe that the findings could lead to new approaches for preventing and treating dementia.
