Regrettably I have in the past spoken out against visiting ‘Oumuamua
My views have changed. We need to slingshot everything we have on this batshit trajectory immediately. I want to live to learn what this fucker is.
Project Lyra explores the possibility of sending a spacecraft to chase 'Oumuamua using an Earth gravity assist to reach Jupiter, which robs the craft of almost all its speed, causing it to drop to the Sun for an Oberth maneuver.
Thanks
@hibberdadam994
for the trajectory data!
If you take the “IQ isn’t real and standardized tests only measure wealth” maximalists seriously they are telling you they believe there’s no way to tell who is smart and who isn’t. Really consider what they’re saying. They’re telling you that they go through life totally and
Good news today: We've reestablished contact with the

after instructing
@NASAPersevere
to perform long-duration listening sessions for Ingenuity’s signal.
The team is reviewing the new data to better understand the unexpected comms dropout during Flight 72.
Breaking: NASA has confirmed that new data suggests the Ingenuity mars helicopter’s catastrophic failure on its final flight was due to a “contact of the rotor with an avian during hover operations”.

, I don’t like being online, but this is important. We need to stop the spread. I hate your administration, environmental policy, and your prioritization of capitalism and our floundering economy over children’s lives.
Simply put an end to it now? Proactivity is needed in this rapidly changing world, and right now, we don’t have any of it. C’mon, folks. Kenney, Hinshaw, and LaGrange, you need to do better. You are failing us. Think of the children
But I think with logic, foresight, and a bit of basic extrapolation of data, even you can see that the future of in-person schooling at least for the next few months, is not bright. Why should we wait for more families to be devastated by classroom-borne COVID, when we can
In physical education, as many as a dozen people, often including adults, were unmasked. New regulations mandate masking in the gym as well. New routines need to be developed if that continues to be the case. Throughout the building, there is a stillness in the air- a perfect
Computers are often left uncleared, gym equipment unwashed. Meanwhile, the stillness of the air remains. THis is not a criticism of the staff at my school, nor of any particular students- more of a cry for help.
Environment for an aerosol disease such as COVID to thrive. Only one room has a proper filtration unit that I think is effectively removing particulate from the air. Things also aren’t sanitized as vigilantly as they were a year and a half ago. Desks are sometimes done, and
The two Chinese labs working on replicating LK-99 appear to have found a room-temperature superconductor.
At first blush, here's what's different from last time:
• it's more like "room temperature" than room temperature, the paper says 250K which is -10 F or -23 C. That's

LK-99 SEASON TWO — WHO'S WHO
Just in case the superconductor stuff goes bonkers tomorrow, here's the context for who's who at this Minnesota conference.
Korea University
• Profs Lee Sukbae & Kim Ji-Hoon (hence, "LK-"99)
• Published the OG paper in July 2023, the one that set
Reminder it’s ok to love SpaceX but despise Elon Musk. I love Starship and the excitement SpaceX inspires, but I hate that man as the embodiment of nearly everything wrong with humanity
@Shuttle__T
It will take like less than 0.01s to fly past it lmao. Going the equivalent velocity of mach 70 if you were inside the atmosphere.
Possible? Yea. Useful? Probably not.
I hate these takes. These people don’t want contact with us and they have a right to live as they want to live. These colonial aspirations to make contact and “uplift” them are quite frankly disgusting.
Ok but when are we going to make contact with North Sentinel Island? Are we going to have Mars colonies and trans human cyborgs but just keep a bunch of people in a pre bronze age bubble until the end of time?
1700 followers is a unique milestone because pre-Falcon I had about 700 friends here. Thrilled to be interacting with so many cool people

Might be a fun idea! It’s all fun and games, with the whiskey in the legislature building, until you have to actually witness your own incompetence.
100 years ago airplanes were just starting to be practical after leaps and bounds taken during the war. 50 years later the Voyagers were on their way to Jupiter and beyond.
50 years after that we’re experiencing daily launches from all around the world with a fraction being
