Nautral Light for Human Space Exploration

wow, that looks pretty real to me! I remember a presentation some time ago on difficulties with large scale LED lights for making directed light sources. I guess we can cross that off the list :)

Agata - have a look at this!

Some people answering the question 'What's cooler than blasting space debris with lasers...?'.

If it fires in both directions, can we align it such that it deorbits two debris with one shot?

:) the idea of having this method for debris removal is actually an ACT one from Claudio Bombardelli (ACT RF in MAD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion-beam_shepherd). This is just a technological device to implement it so that the system on board is simplified (i.e. instead of two engines, you get away with one and a weird nozzle) Marcus, you cannot align it to get rid of two debris as you need to keep the spacecraft close to the debris as this is a long duration acion. One of the two would drift away (can only follow one!)

I know you like these... [Edit] And by the way, this website contains also more practical stuff, like this

of course, "they" being Polish Wikipedia contributors who geo-tag like mad...

Have you had a look on Japan? It looks like they just geo-tagged all their train stations.

We're obviously not crypto-bros in the team, but this lengthy article is nonetheless very much worth a read to try to make sense of all this madness. Written by an expert in economics and finance, doesn't hold back any punches!
