Because it is a story worth a book, if all the context is to be included. I only replied to say that such conficts are almost always more complex than they seem on surface. A very abridged version is that Transnistria independence is a resu

As someone who lived in proximity to this region, the issue is not exactly as black and white as you may feel.

From what I heard from industry people, overheating is an unsolved problem for VASIMR. It is 60-70% efficient, meaning that 60kW of thermal power has to go somewhere. Waste heat management for 200MW system in space is firmly outside the rea

Several millions US dollars, at least. Interplanetary missions are expensive, even the small ones.

The strongest use case is in-space data analytics on Earth Observation data (camera images, simply said).

For 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 & regul

It is not likely to survive orbit deployment, unfortunately.

Yes, that's correct. We'll revamp the website to make business model more clear.

I have the privilege of being the space startup founder. If you have any specific questions - I am happy to answer them. P.S. Going offline now, but send questions anyway - I'll to reply them later.

Yes, Planetary Resources. I remember the announcement. They folded - asteroid mining is too much of challenge even now.

That's definitely a good thing to have.

Have a serious question for passing cosmologists in light of this theory - what's the substantial difference between Big Bang singularity and one inside a black hole?

The article mentions in the end that the opposite effect of rapid warming-up might be possible, tripped by a similar rapid spike in one of the global climate variables.

Scaling factor in fusion is pretty well understood science. Last JET tokamak was the experiment that confirmed this part. Fusion science has evolved to the point where it is necessary to bring the fusion engineering on the same level.

To summarize the answer in a single line: "We added it to the specification, thinking we could always improve it later" CSS is not the only victim of this approach, just particularly bad case.

I wonder if it is possible to add a (small) FPGA to a personal computer that could accelerate any specific software tasks (video/audio encoding, ML algorithms, compression, extra FPU capabilities) on user demand .

Would you mind explaining a few of those terms? "Informed" and "toxic", specifically.

Leatherman cheapened out on steel for their knives. I got one in 154CM ten years ago, but now similar models are all in 440C.

Well, the answer is kind of long. We are going to have a meeting/workshop this week with legal company that specializes in space law. Two major points clear so far: - For our first mission camera resolution is not a big concern, we are
