What happened to the Thargoids, Yiole? There were news of sightings here and there…then haven’t heard any news from them since.


@Commissar_Kate a new,fancy fish for your fish tank. :slightly_smiling_face:

Time for rest.
Good night, lovelies. :heart:

I haven’t heard of Thargoids lately, I think they’re attacking some players and others are hunting them but I haven’t been keeping myself informed on E:D. I jsut flew a bit fo nostaliga ride and tried the new exploration mechanics… might build a second explorer ship with longer range or don’t. Just taking a partial break from WoWs, I’ve spent two months grindng heavily for victories and I’m burned out. WoWs is very stressing if you aim to win. Yet ont he other hand, if nto to win, why play?

E:D is easier, just do your business if you’re inclined to space trucking. Yet it’s not simple, and my attemtps to look for ships reminded this to me: finding the hull and the modules it’s a tricky thing and might require visiting different stations in different systems, which often involves traveling in a suboptimal hull missing parts or weighing too much, until you get all the outfit. Guess that I’ll have to look for the market information website(s) if I get serious about building a Krait Phantom as replacement of my Asp Explorer.

Being casual about E:D is certainly easier than doing about EVE Online, and my last project in EVE might never become a reality with all the stupid hostility around. E:D is a lot more accessible, unless you run into a Thargoid infested area, I guess… :thinking:

(BTW, adding that millionaires’ fish to Commisar Kate’s aquarium might be one of the most expensive tricks ever, since it’s a freshwater fish and CK’s aquarium is saltwater… :sweat_smile: )

Also: Spanish rocketry corporation PLD Space are working along with ESA on a light reusable rocket, the Miura, which will be roughly in the same league as the Electron by Space Labs, but with a reusable first stage.

Last april they made the first test of that stage, using a inert unit with fully operational parachute system, lifted by an Army CH-47 to 5000 emters and then dropped. The test went smoothly:

Baby steps…

I’ve actually acclimated Mollies (a common freshwater fish in aquarium shops) to full seawater salinity in the past and had them live for about a year. In the wild they are know to go into brackish and coastal waters so it doesn’t surprise me that they can tolerate a full on seawater. The only problem with having Mollies in a marine aquarium is that they are weak swimmers compared to marine fish and they can’t handle the water flow that’s required in a marine aquarium stocked with corals. Not to mention marine fish can be mean little basterds which will harass and kill the Mollies.

But it’s totally possible to have some in a saltwater aquarium with some docile fish like firefish, blennies, gobies, cardinalfish and very gentle flow.

And yes there are golden Mollies!

Meanwhile in other news I’m on a long (for me) exploration trip… which I won’t end before fearing I’m risking too much time invested… but I hope it will be fun before I turn around and go back to the comfy Bubble.

Ideally , those probes around the moon can catch cargo launched into space, via a Launching Ram system, which, once launched, is designed to be caught from space, into a device that will stop the cargo. Well, the probe most likely won’t be designed for that, but it sure would be able to take videos of the device in action though.

Right, those systems are for Earth, just think how easy this would be from the moon, literally…

Each of which feasible from the moon, after the 1/8 mining is done, or in progress, or a work to be in progress, or , while still a work in progress, or, while still a work to be in progress…

Namely:

Present-day launch costs are very high – $2,500 to $25,000 per kilogram from Earth to low Earth orbit (LEO). As a result, launch costs are a large percentage of the cost of all space endeavors. If launch can be made cheaper, the total cost of space missions will be reduced.

If those very same costs are lower to be launched from the moon, why is the focused veered into keeping control of the focus, and other focus device, such as sniping tool or other.
Of course it would be costing less energy and less resources from the moon, even if they spend 500 trillion more to do so, or even if they did save(d) 500 trillion to do so , +/- 1,000 trillion…

As for people wondering about the knowledge below the Sphinx, and it being for 37,000 years, it is 10 times less than the age of the oldest human gene dating back to 300,000 years ago, or around 370,000 years ago.
So, yes, that knowledge in a 37,000 years old chamber may be from the previous 263,000 years before, or, 333,000 years ago.

He also works with TWiT.tv, which streams 24/7 on Twitch.tv, for The Giz Wiz,

They used to run on Justin.tv before Twitch.tv, and even have old websites of shows and contents, including lists of gadgets.

My long haul exploration trip has ended… I was bored and afraid to lose data so after traveling about 1200 ly from my base I traveled back another 1100 ly to Sol. Aside from a soft crahing on a high metal content planet and runing into a striek fo 5 brown dwarves (which can’t be scooped for fuel) it’s been quite quiet. The 5 dwarves had me stressed as my fuel tank allows for about 7 jumps at max range but have looked at the map for a nearby friendly star and there was a K type right 10 ly away. Very satisfying scoop!

And now I’m off to bed. Nighties lovelies!

Also: it’s a game. Seriously.

Also: an interesting suggestion from YT.

I was 12 when the Challenger exploded, but I don’t have any specific memory of that day. I guess that it was in the news but can’t recall it. Although I must admit that I don’t like to wander around my childhood memories so whatever they are, they are buried deep…

(And yet I have a poignant, essential memory of the day one of my childhood heroes died in an accident. That was the day I understood what death was, just a couple of weeks before turning 6)
