Skye shows us her combat skills by dealing with a bunch of NPC Pirate rats in a hi-sec asteroid belt. We were spectacularly lucky with this and the pirates were a rare spawn type, which dropped an even rarer piece of loot. worth about 25million isk. She's flying with her own character, she spent more time playing with the portrait editor than anyone I know. The character has less than 12 hours training time on it but that's enough to fly a 'Punisher' frigate with an afterburner and acceptable armour tank. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U9dH66NAf0
Compiled from Himawari Data for October 2017 - original resolution is 5500x5500 but Youtube converts this into an 8K frame. The flickers around midnight are where the sun would pass through the frame and no images are recorded.

The Augmented reality features of Pokemon Go use technology that was derived from rocket guidance system, and miniaturization of computers made the Apollo Guidance system possible long before you could fly simulated moon landings in your smartphone.

I'm still on vacation, but I'm still here to occasionally answer those burning questions about space, rockets and other stuff. Tiangong-1 returned to Earth in the middle of the ocean and SpaceX sorted out their NOAA remote sensing license.

So I got 20k views, and now I'm compelled to make more of this. So I downloaded some recommended mods (Sound, Delta Glider, UMMU) and made a point of running through the pre-flight checklists before heading into orbit. My ascent into orbit is sub optimal I believe, I should have gone more vertical early on.
Of course the manual suggested I run some autopilot, but with this much excess delta-v I wanted to do it manually.

I met up with Ariel Waldman, founder of spacehack.org, occasional NASA advisor, science communicator (https://www.youtube.com/user/arielwaldman) and general all round well connected space person. While it may be fun to play games about space I get asked all the time about how people can participate in space exploration for real. And thanks to modern technology this is eminently possible, moreover Spacehack.org helpfully points you in the right direction. Even if you don't have an advanced science degree there's lots of things you can do.

After years of ISRO keeping quiet over the reasons why their Vikram Lander crashed on the moon in 2019 we started to get some more details recently, and now, with a public lecture by S Somnath, head of ISRO, I think we have all the pieces to put together a plausible chain of events that explains the whole thing.
This is the stream of the presentation, and unfortunately the camera quality is not great, so the relevant slides are poor.

There is an official report which has never been released despite legal efforts to do so, at this point this is the first end to end explanation I've been able to arrive at.
