Interesting video post to the Spaceflight fediverse channel, looking at mining Asteroid and what we should perhaps be doing this for, for example we can use water to make rocket fuel.
This was posted to the MPI for Gravitational Physics Fediverse account today. There is an open day at the Gravitational wave detector on the 31st August, so just sharing here.
Further details can be found here. I have quoted some of the text from the above site below.
Open Day at GEO600
Visit the gravitational-wave detector near Sarstedt on 31 August 2024
On Saturday, August 31, 2024, the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) and the Institute for Gravitational Physics of Leibniz Universität Hannover invite you to visit the German-British gravitational-wave detector GEO600 near Sarstedt. Between 12:00 and 16:00 CEST, visitors can speak with researchers at the detector site about the current state of gravitational-wave astronomy, the crucial contributions of GEO600 as a think tank of international research, and visit the detector.
The next meeting of the Tor bay Tinkerers group will be on 28th September 2024. Please see their website for more details and a write-up of the May Meeting.
We meet at:-
Paignton Library, Room 12
11am to 13:00
Possible topics
Carry on looking at the mouse bot and dragster projects. Also, have a look at my LED metronome and see how this can be adapted to provide timing for playing music.
Life exists on planet earth for a good reason, it exists because the conditions to support life have developed over millions of years. I don't think we can mess with this balance without consequences, we are already seeing these due to human activity causing climate change.
The link was posted to the Fediverse and can be found here where, if you join (free) you comment further.
If, like me, you want to avoid interaction with big tech, the issue of website sign ins is important. Lots of websites allow you to create an account but why do that when there is an SSO (single sign on) to sign in with Facebook or google.
I found a link to this on the Fediverse earlier, and I think it makes some good points, the price having a single sign-in or using the same credentials for the same website, you don't do this normally as you would use a unique password for each website.
