Not quite ready for space yet, but hey, 150m is a start right?

âCould it be a black hole threatening to trap Jupiter in the unavoidable grip of its gravity?â
I love it when people get worked up over what should be obvious.
Some theories make about as much sense as this song

What does that mean? Is it one of those exclusive payTV things?
I havenât wanted to see a new movie so much since⌠uh⌠since the one in which Han Solo died (maybe, probably, who knows? Heâll probably come back as a blue ghost someday) 
Thanks for posting this!

Picard is one of my favorite characters from Star Trek. However, I canât say I am looking forward to the new show.
Not only is there the issue of another subscription just to see it, which takes several shows for me to consider purchasing, but there is a terrible track record lately for sequels and reboots. I would rather Picard be left alone than chance the character to be dishonored or deconstructed.

I would worry as well but, I have faith that Patrick Stewart would not stand for his character being derailed.

Letâs hope it doesnât start multiplying up thereâŚ
Itâs a shame they donât give any specs. How tiny is it really? whatâs the mass? expected lifetime? If it works well enough, would it be feasible to pack a few dozen of them into another launch? Because thatâs where things start to get really fun!

On their website a mass of 1 - 1.3 kg is shown. They have a model, which looks to be quite small indeed, about 5 inches (~12cm) cubed for the body if I were to estimate. I donât actually think they have anything concrete just yet, but if funding permits, they have until Q3 2021.
Who knows, but the website shows âSwarm Intelligenceâ, so possibly not meant to be alone?
Spacebitâs rover is planned to be one of many commercial payloads on Astroboticâs Peregrine moon lander:

Well, it started with a crypto crowdfunding campaign. Look into Swarm Technologies (Swarm Corp). Donât ask me how it all works though, as I donât care for crypto in any way. I find it all pretty shady, but could very well be due to my lack of interest.

Iâm not meddling in it economically, because I donât trade in anything, but I find the concept fascinating. Itâs effectively a currency backed by the value of processing power. That seems like a very viable backing for the future.
Transactions need to become a lot faster to make it a usable mainstream currency, but people are working on that.

I agree its concept is fascinating or at least used to be for as far as I am concerned. The fact that âmostâ of it wouldnât be able to exist without a tie to ârealâ money (Fiat Currency), says a lot to me though. Not to mention the fact that those in âtrueâ control are still the ones who own most, the ârichâ. I honestly donât like it in its current form, unless you are in for a gamble.
