That's so cool. The first one actually looks a bit like a fish tail if I squint my eyes. The one in the Mars image is so symmetric and wild looking. Here's a 2pg paper (PDF link) just on Ventifacts on Mars: https://acro

100%. A lot of people ("leaders") are afraid to compromize their immediate personal security for the greater good - which ironically, will only bolster their personal security. My personal belief is that: a.) We (in the west) need

Out of curiosity, on a somewhat related topic, have you tried nord-lock washers [1] in any of your applications? We looked at them for a small work boat we designed and built, but they were a bit pricey and it was just a prototype, so we en

Some people do, some don't. Just like some people obey the "rule" of not to murder, while others don't (including governments). Rules can certainly be broken, and that's not always a bad thing as our understanding o
