"Nesvold’s timely warning is bolstered by nuanced ethics and her careful attention to how colonization has historically been accompanied by injustice and violence. This raises hard questions that deserve serious consideration." From Publishers Weekly: publishersweekly.com/9780262…

With all this talk about shuttle tiles it’s a good time to re-share this demo showing how you could handle GLOWING HOT space shuttle TPS tiles right after they came out of an oven at > 2000 K due to their insulating properties. Material science magic

🧵📈🛰 This is not a projection— There’s a general lack of perspective and awareness of the accelerating growth in space infrastructure. Led by @spacex; it’s an opportunity more significant than the early days of the internet. Charts made possible by @planet4589 GCAT dataset.

You heard it here first: We have countersigned a tentative agreement and the strike is ending. Stay tuned for the official joint statement from part-time faculty and New School management. We look forward to returning to our students.

But seriously though: why shouldn't astronauts have sex?

We have retrieved signal with @NASA_Orion after an expected loss of signal when the spacecraft flew directly behind the Moon. You can see Earth in the distance. That's us. #Artemis nasa.gov/artemislive

New space dystopia unlocked! This paper finds human blood protein, combined with Martian or Lunar rock, makes a substance as hard as concrete. To make it stronger by 300%, add urea "which could be extracted from the urine, sweat or tears of astronauts." sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

How much free labor have you given academia?
16 Nov 2022
