- bee_rider 5y agoI wonder if the USB thingy is a detector of some sort. It seems must have some reason, to stick out of the armor like that.
- pseudosavant 5y agoI think it is a humidity sensor. From astro-pi.org: "Young people write a simple program to take a humidity reading onboard the International Space Station and communicate it to the astronauts with a personalised message, which will be displayed for 30 seconds!" https://astro-pi.org/mission-zero/ https://astro-pi.org/mission-zero/

- dylan604 5y agoI love how hodgepodge that looks. In most scifi, the space ships are all neat, tidy and super clean. Everything has a place. This looks like a hacker's workbench prototyping something, got it to work, shoved it in a case, and then runs the cat6 cable across the desk to get it running. Then just stuck to something to get it out of the way from the work space. Edit: realized i replied to the wrong comment. go up one level
- leephillips 5y ago> neat, tidy and super clean. Not so much since Alien.
- dylan604 5y agowell sure, once you have a xenomorph running loose, tidyness goes right out the window, or airlock as it were.
- megous 5y agoRight. :) Now I wonder how do they make people float in space inside a ship in sci-fi movies. Must be some real trickery, ...
- mypastself 5y agoOkay, now I want one of those. Not sure what I’d use it for, but hey, it’s a Raspberry. You always find an application for it.
