The project will examine the ability of a type of phytoplankton known as diatoms, which are found in every aquatic environment on the planet and responsible for a significant amount of the oxygen we breathe, to grow off the light from a star.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #art #science #space #stellarharvest</p> Thu, 04 Dec 2025 18:24:33 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:38060 art science space stellarharvest https://taranis.ie/datacenters-in-space-are-a-terrible-horrible-no-good-idea/ The short version: this is an absolutely terrible idea, and really makes zero sense whatsoever. There are multiple reasons for this, but they all amount to saying that the kind of electronics needed to make a datacenter work, particularly a datacenter deploying AI capacity in the form of GPUs and TPUs, is exactly the opposite of what works in space. If you've not worked specifically in this area before, I'll caution against making gut assumptions, because the reality of making space hardware actually function in space is not necessarily intuitively obvious.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #datacenters #electronics #space #sysadmin</p> Tue, 02 Dec 2025 22:20:46 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:38049 datacenters electronics space sysadmin https://futurism.com/trump-executive-order-nasa-intelligence?utm_source=FuckOff&utm_content=FuckOff The Trump administration issued an executive order late last month, quietly declaring that NASA will operate as a national intelligence and security agency going forward. The order stipulates that the agency will now "have as a primary function intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national security work." It's a major departure for the agency, which has historically focused on space exploration, as well as space and Earth sciences over its 67-year lifespan.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #space #trump #ugh #uspolitics</p> Wed, 17 Sep 2025 19:10:03 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:37716 space trump ugh uspolitics http://www.elitehomepage.org/fourty/index.htm Today, 20th September 2024, is the 40th anniversary of the day the world first experienced Elite, the 3D space trading and combat game written by Ian Bell and David Braben, first on the BBC Microcomputer in conjunction with Acornsoft.

Getting from one to the other requires so much energy that not even space shuttles had enough fuel to do it. The telescope is 353 miles high, in an orbit that keeps it near the Equator; the space station is about 100 miles lower, in an orbit that takes it far north, over Russia. To have the movie astronauts Matt Kowalski (Mr. Clooney) and Ryan Stone (Ms. Bullock) zip over to the space station would be like having a pirate tossed overboard in the Caribbean swim to London.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #gravity #imported:pinboard #movies #science #space #to:fb</p> Tue, 01 Oct 2013 15:12:42 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:24246 gravity imported:pinboard movies science space to:fb http://www.spacegamejunkie.com/oped/hardware-rave-freespace-2-fing-amazing/#more-4149 So a couple of nights ago, I went through the familiar steps of manually adding the Freespace Source Code Project files to my GOG copy of Freespace 2.
