Cats in Spaaace! NASA just streamed the first video from deep space via laser, and it’s more than just a cat meme. The tech demo proved it’s possible to stream HD video from deep space – and lays the groundwork for human exploration of Mars. https://t.co/KkpyskvApv

.@googlemaps your advertisements hiding restaurant listings are getting ridiculous--take a look at this dupe ad (Rod Thai=Rod Dee 2) that hides the restaurant next door (El Pelon)! can this be fixed? maybe gmaps w/ads just isn't made for dense neighborhoods? can I disable ads?
