Interplanetary vehicles are still purpose built and expensive. It is also generally a lot harder to get to another planet than you would expect. As for our own moon, it has an irregular distribution of mass, so nothing that orbits it stays

I don't believe so. Many things you see in space like nebula, would not really be visible to the naked eye even if you were in the middle of them. Don't let the fact that primate eyes can't see it detract from the grandeur th

I wish more people were aware of how damaging bad science is, even when it is well intentioned. Environmental studies are often littered with double counting and creative data framing. One faked study does more to convince people global war

I think the exon-mobile report on global warming is one of the most accurate models for predicting global warming, and that was written before this was a big political issue. I think having companies produce the research to hang themself wi

Ever wonder if things like this lead to companies intentionally avoiding environmental research? We need to find some way to align our interests, this seems like a dead end path. We are unintentionally incentivizing the disruption of enviro

They have to convince senators to invest into their company lol. There is no way they are going to do that with a plasma physics textbook and a white paper on plasma compression ignition. I don't blame them for building hype, and gloss

I'm excited to see what they can do, but its important to remember they are the only fusion device with a marketing department. Pulsed power generation would be a problem for any power plant, and its viability is predicated on its abil

It happened in 2013 lol. This is just about how its happening easier. This is a research milestone, it will help us model fusion plasma, but in no way is a prototype for a fusion power plant.

Thats more like 10 steps away, not really the next step.

Like all fusion reactors in the world currently, NIF was made for research, not as a prototype for a power plant. As it stands, NIF is the only non-bomb fusion device to reach the fusion breakeven point. If we are ignoring the research angl

I'm not one of those people who jumps on any chance to shit on tesla or elon, but this seems unimpressive. The mocap part got me excited that this might actually move like a human, but then it immediately started doing the ASIMO squat

I was surprised how many people sided with India when they assassinated that Sikh in Canada. Especially considering the Indian response was basically "Yea well he deserved it, though it wasn't us."

The study doesn't blame the pollution on jets. It says it is from industry, and since the rich own stock in companies, they blame the companies pollution on the rich who own equity. dumb and deceptive article

Africa produces 0.32% or the annual supply of rare earth metals, and nearly all of it comes from Madagascar, and it is a Chinese owned mine.

"The corporate shares of many super-rich are highly polluting." this article is deceptive. What is the suggested solution here, those companies shouldn't exist? If the companies were owned by the average person would that som

When the Russo-Ukrainian war started, there was a glut of AI-driven 'news' stories on youtube. They had some details correct, but it seemed like a grab-bag of random events from the last month rehashed as a new news story. The vid

No collision of 2 surfboards is going to loft debris high enough to be in a stable orbit. If the common point of orbit is 500km, all of that debris will de-orbit. The only propellent on those things is krypton, so if they collide it is only

I believe the mission length is just how long it takes to complete the mission goals. It isn't necessarily an estimation of the spacecraft's lifespan.

I would imagine it would be something more akin to a real-estate developer not caring about the existence of ant colonies while constructing a condo.
