Starflight - Episode 12 - Abandoned Worlds and Plasma Spewing Fleets of Doom
We're looking for an old research institute on the abandoned home planet of the Elowan, the local thrynn don't like it but their ships are no match for mine. However the information from the institute takes us deep into Uhlek territory, a race that operates with a hive mind and arms its warships with Plasma Bolts.
Sadly I lost the save or something and had to go back, then I forgot to record, so we skip forward to a vacation at the city of ancients. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5-IP5zVtb8

It's been a year since Juno arrive in Jupiter orbit and while it's been doing some great science on its mission to understand Jupiter's interior, the general public has primarly seen the images from the Junocam 'public outreach' instrument.
It's worth explaining exactly how this instrument works because it's quite different from a regular camera.

Back from my trip, here's the story. I travelled 4 Hours south to Vandenberg Air Force Base to take part in a NASA Social event covering the launch of the SMAP Earth observation satellite. We got a tour of the Western Range Operational Control Center (WROCC) and the Space and Missile Heritage Museum. Then We returned next day hoping to see the launch of a rocket.
You can find out more about the Museum on their facebook page.

I thought I'd run a mini series on the Kerbals plans for dealing with the cosmic impact threat, starting out with a mission to launch a specialized asteroid hunting telescope into an heliocentric orbit to catalog every Near Kerbin Asteroid that could pose a threat to the planet.
This is of course a near clone of Sentinel, a mission proposed by the B612 Foundation which is a non-profit organisation which has the noble goal of dealing with the very real threat of cosmic impacts, or as some people like to say for dramatic effect 'Killer Asteroids'.
