This is the beauty of Physics ... if in 1550 one Elephant Power was the equivalent of 10 Horse Power, in 2026 the equivalent of one EP is still 10 HP 😎

Counting craters Craters, craters, and yet more craters: this snapshot from ESA’s Mars Express is packed full of them, each as fascinating as the last.

I like the idea of a University of Bluesky in the sense that many of us are part of a virtual res publica litteraria these days. I haven't (and likely won't) meet all of you in person ever, but I read your research, hints, comments, problems, and puns, even your bad jokes.

Some Extremophiles Could Survive an Asteroid Impact on Mars, and the Dangerous Journey to Earth Panspermia is the idea that life was spread from world to world somehow. New research shows that one type of Earthly extremophile can survive the extremely high pressure from asteroid impacts on Mars, be blasted into space, and maybe even survive the journey to Earth.

NASA repairs Artemis 2 rocket, continues eyeing April moon launch "Work on the rocket and spacecraft will continue in the coming weeks as NASA prepares for rolling the rocket out to the launch pad again later this month ahead of a potential launch in April."

NASA has repaired the helium-flow issue on its Artemis 2 SLS rocket inside the Vehicle Assembly Building and is working on final checks. The goal remains to roll the rocket back to the pad and aim for an April launch of the first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years

NASA Repairs Upper Stage Helium Flow, Preps Continue Ahead of Rollout - NASA With NASA’s Artemis II SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft in the Vehicle Assembly Building at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida,

NASA just posted an update, seal in the quick disconnect was dislodged and was preventing helium flow, now resolved, investigation ongoing as to why the seal was dislodged

Pic of said seal and QD would be nice :)

One week ago, NASA returned the Space Launch System rocket to the Vehicle Assembly Building for repairs. Enjoy our cinematic timelapse of the slow trek from the launch pad. About 11.5 hours compressed into approximately 11.5 minutes. youtu.be/VP8IcD2oLBA

Cancer blood tests are everywhere. Do they really work? Their makers claim they can detect dozens of cancer types — but some scientists say they could be missing many cancers or delivering the wrong diagnosis.

Die haben wir einrn leichten Dissens, 25% Reduktion bei diesem gewaltigen Aufwand und den Kosten ist ambitionslos. Wenn schon Korridorsanierung mit all den riesigen Einschränkungen für Vielfahrer, dann muss der Effekt viel größer sein.

What happens to Gateway? Or the Exploration Upper Stage? What about Mobile Launcher 2? Are some questions left unresolved with the recent Artemis reorganization.

Vandalismus im engeren Sinne auf jeden Fall ... aber auch die generelle Verwahrlosung öffentlicher Räume wie man sie z.B. an fast jedem Bahnhof, aber nicht nur dort, beobachten kann, ist ein großes Problem.

Wieder sind am Bhf #Nürtingen die Aufzüge defekt. Ursächlich ist häufig Vandalismus. Was denken sich diese Typen?
#Barrierefreiheit bleibt wichtiges Thema. Vandalismus gehört stärker geächtet. Die Technik muss robuster gegen verschiedenste Einflüsse werden. Wo möglich, sollten Rampen gebaut werden.

But the copier was invented 😎 ... the human-in-the-loop process took just a bit longer than the modern version. Even in case you needed multiple copies, not an issue at all for a capable monastery library 🤪

Not so simple ... China has a de-facto monopoly on many base materials needed for renewable energy generation and storage.

This "China channel" is unfortunately also very narrow.
