Do you plan on selling time on orbital computers?
- walrus01 6y agoIt's all fine and good until the orbital computer rehabilitates a disgraced ex-console jockey currently selling drugs in chiba city to retrieve the hardware crypto key required for a wintermute/neuromancer merger.
- 082349872349872 6y agoJust what was the colour of the sky above Chiba, anyway? I used to think a stormy grey turmoil, and now people seem to think it was a uniform brilliant blue.
- walrus01 6y agoI think Gibson was trying to describe an overcast gray with a lot of reflected city light on its underside. Sort of like VHF/UHF analog TV snow. He literally wrote Neuromancer on a typewriter, despite the subject matter, in the late 70s and early 80s Gibson lived a quite low tech lifestyle.

- d_silin 6y agoYes, that's correct. We'll revamp the website to make business model more clear.
- WrtCdEvrydy 6y agoCan I have the MicroNOVA placed into orbit for me? I can't seem to do that from your site.
- d_silin 6y agoIt is not likely to survive orbit deployment, unfortunately.
- WrtCdEvrydy 6y agoLong term or short term? I don't need a century-level deployment, but I would like to see how long it would survive.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoIt would probably be cheaper and easier to test at a terrestrial cyclotron
- d_silin 6y agoFor some reason I can't reply to your comment below, so Iam answering here. - From purely hardware perspective, microNOVA has a nonzero chance of being operational for at least few minutes in space environment. - From rules & regulations point, launching it as a standalone cubesat is not possible. It is not compliant enough with cubesat specs (plastic frame, non-approved components, no radio licenses)
- WrtCdEvrydy 6y agoIf you load a comment and it's been less than 2 minutes sometimes you can't reply. I dig the actual reply, I actually considered whether it was radiation or just cooling of the components, but I didn't consider the regulations point. Edit: I was planning on making something accessible over AWS Ground Station so I was wondering if it was possible to get the payload into orbit in the first place. Thanks for being reachable and replying.
- Akronymus 6y agoBut why in orbit where cooling is MUCH harder?
