Latest Space Missions (& Other Science Stuff)

Good idea for a betting pool…

Which will be first? Putting butts on the Moon or releasing Light No Fire.

2028 seems like it could go either way for both of these things so I’m going to put a little money on “neither” just to be safe.

That film confused and fascinated me as a child. We had many French, German, Italian, English TV stations, and if it was animation or claymation, we didn’t ask any questions and watched it. So I watched this story, dubbed into French.
From my point of view, it was about a hungry man who casually flies to a planet to eat it, and a frustrated abandoned laundromat who enjoys skiing. … … I enjoyed it for its absurdity, and then I heard that Anglophones say, the moon is made of cheese. Well, that’s boring. I liked my “eat random planets” interpretation better! :joy:

Well, when we can’t take it any more, we can just run outside and stand under the focal point.

Getting there, been wanting animal vision goggles since I was small.

Nice! At first, I expected bees to see crazy UV patterns on flowers, but it’s just that the pollen part is highlighted/circled for them, and not for us. :bullseye:

Animals (e.g. dogs) also use smell… So when they come into a room, it also gives them information who (person or pet) spends most time there, who typically sits where, who’s an outsider. They can smell a fading trace that tells them someone was here within the last half hour and has just left – basically, it’s normal for them to sense info about the recent past. Or recent events like, “hey, my human’s hand smells like they’ve been petting other dogs!?” :wink: Also, when you see these clips of a human and their dog being reunited after a long time, the dog does not react to seeing the person (but rather to smelling them?).

So, after they have the visual differences figured out, I would like a tooltip overlay for the smellovision in our “animal vision goggles”. :eyes:

It would be really interesting to compare the neural development and networking of dogs and other animals with strong smell to that of other animals. Smell is effectively 4-dimensional perception, I cannot help but wonder what that does to a brain. The concepts of present and past must become somewhat fluent if you can perceive the world like this.
