Norway, Oregon, and several other areas have highly concentrated methane fields just off shore. Disrupting these could cause a huge disaster with millions of people suffocated. A similar thing happened in Cameroon when a volcano burst a bubble, killing thousands of people living near a lake. It a real threat to be…

You chuckle now, but one day you will bow before the might of our Javiergorosabellian overlords!

Another comment to move this higher.

This is the same TSA that lets guns go through so deranged veterans can unpack them at the baggage carousel and massacre others. Wouldn’t want to hurt anyone’s 2nd amendment rights.

I love that Mercury has water ice at the poles, and that there are areas (about the size of England) at both poles that are of habitable temperature. Getting in an out is a bitch right now, but think of all the energy at our disposal once we figure it our. And what an amazing view!

Haha, when I first started with filming my sound was output from a zoom H2, using Apple EarPods, and a construction headset to block out noise. I ended up having to ADR the whole thing later. But my film got made!

That was a lovely mission statement from NASA. Europa & Enceladus are far more interesting to me than Mars. But then I find Mercury more interesting than Mars.

Ok, who’s going to be the first boring, unoriginal person to post the quote?

I picked up a set, used, for field recording, and have been delighted. The sounds are crisp and lively at all levels.

So the space monkeys aren’t jumping in unison, then.

Any idea why Saturn might have a hexagon, and Jupiter doesn’t?

This isn’t news. Every company does favors for both sides along the way. They are trying to buy influence and make nice. It may be scummy, but this isn’t news. And I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to imply with the headline. Corporations are evil? Again, not news.

I wonder how much of this material would we be talking about exactly in a gas giant. The occasional molecule? Several giga-tonnes? Would the atoms end up latching onto the end, like a plastic, or just be self-contained flecks? Is there enough pressure in Neptune or Uranus, or do you need a Saturn or Jupiter? I’d…

Okay, the video answered the one question I had at the end: has this even started? Well, glad to see Aubrey Plaza. Perhaps she’ll channel grumpy cat. But if David has a child then dies in a car crash—I’ll be very pissed.

So, basically a Borg cube.

There is a street in LA where they’re testing neighborhood storage & encatchment systems. I’m in NorCal where we still have delta wetlands (thanks in part to choosing to preserve species like the delta smelt) to create marshlands. LA would like to change its concrete runoff systems for something more environmentally…

No. No, no, no, no, no! These are our allies. These are the people who we need to win. These people actually voted, they actually give a damn, in a nation where that’s becoming more and more rare. These are the people who live n Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama, and Texas. Are you going to move there? I doubt it.

Anyone know why the spinning cylinder turbine was abandoned?

This is probably a lot more of a complicated interaction than you’d think. Weight on ice melts the surface into a small bit of water. It’s how ice skate glide over an icy surface. That bit of water is immediately converted into steam, which thanks to the Leidenfrost (sp?) effect tries to push against the metal. The…

I wonder, with the low gravity and the slushy surface, whether a 15 mile drop would be survivable. (Obviously with a space suit.)
