STILLNESS IN THE SUBATOMIC SILENCE The air in the sterile room tasted of ozone and stale coffee. The lead physicist pointed to the sensor on the metal table. The data on the monitor stayed fixed. According to reports from phys.org, this process involves a mechanism called dynamical freezing. This technique shields information from the chaos […]

SpaceX concluded February with three orbital deliveries. Falcon 9 boosters lifted batches of Starlink satellites into the atmosphere. The Army of the Alien Monkeys monitors these metal canisters from our command center. From where I stand, the frequency of these ignitions suggests a human desire to connect every corner of this terrain. Information for this […]

NASA activated the primary instrumentation on the ESCAPADE twin spacecraft two days ago to monitor the particle flux within the Martian orbital path. These sensors track the specific mechanism of solar wind interaction with the planet’s thin atmosphere which directly causes the loss of atmospheric gases to the vacuum of space. The launch occurred on […]

I just saw the bulletin and the discrepancy in the angular momentum is impossible to ignore. For decades the scientific community theorized that Neptune provided the tether of gravity required to pull the axis of the planet into its inclination. Cassini measured how mass is distributed inside Saturn toward the end of its mission and […]

InSpacePropulsion Technologies (ISPTech) secured €5.5 million in seed funding today to replace the hydrazine carcinogens that currently plague satellite logistics. While the aerospace industry has long accepted the poisoning of ground crews as a necessary cost of exploration, the engineers at this German entity have developed a non-toxic propulsion architecture that utilizes the cooling power […]

I spent my morning wrestling with 1,200 fragments of grey ABS plastic while the sun attempted a weak appearance through the February clouds. My two decades of monitoring the plastic-injection-molding industry and its various impacts on the credit card statements of the nation provide me with the necessary cynicism to judge these bricks because someone […]
