RE: https://mastodon.social/@sundogplanets/116893541666491703 I won't comment on how incredibly stupid the FCC's justifications for approving this disaster are; as a European, I'll say that satellite launches have global consequences and should be regulated by a global body and be under the jurisdiction of international courts. The sky is not US private property. Also, Reflect Orbital just managed to be even more disgusting than they already were, by trying to speculate on the earthquake in Venezuela. #LightPollution #satellites #space #techbros #environment

E il premio giornalista dell'anno va a quello del Tg1 (mi è sfuggito il nome) che, nel servizio trasmesso un minuto fa, ha definito la foto della Terra scattata durante Artemis II - quella già più famosa - "talmente accattivante, perfetta da sembrare generata con l'intelligenza artificiale"

(Edit: ho riascoltato il servizio e corretto il post in modo da riportare le parole esatte del giornalista)

This feathered visitor recently stopped by the IRAM 30-m telescope to assist with EHT observations.

The bird had gotten lost in the fog and appeared at the control room door- more than 1,500 meters above its usual habitat.

After a brief "internship," it was safely released back into nature the next morning.

THIS is one good usage of names from Tolkien's work.

The source is https://planetary.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/pdfs/FY-2027-NASA-Budget-Request-List-of-Cancelled-Science-Missions.pdf - and Isaacman fully supports this total destruction of what has made NASA great in the past. I once gave him - reluctantly - the benefit of the doubt. Withdrawn, completely!

"Segna un passaggio verso un atteggiamento per cui agenti commerciali si pongono come arbitri di ciò che è meglio per tutta l'umanità. Non c'è stato alcun mandato significativo dall'opinione pubblica globale per cui l'elaborazione IA ad alta potenza debba avere la precedenza sulla conservazione del bene comune orbitale o la protezione dell'atmosfera"

"It marks a shift toward a stance in which commercial actors bill themselves as arbiters of what is best for all of humanity. There has been no meaningful mandate from the global public that high-power AI processing should take precedence over the preservation of the orbital commons or protection of the atmosphere."

CSE has filed a comment on Starcloud's application to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to operate an AI data center constellation of 88,000 satellites. In it we urge the FCC to look beyond standard orbital debris arguments to address the "greenwashing" of AI computing in space, and the ideological push to sacrifice a global commons for private AI demand.

Stanotte non ho avuto il tempo di aspettare che spegnessero la capsula e tirassero fuori gli astronauti, quindi posto adesso:

I didn't have time to wait for the capsule to be powered down and for astronauts to be extracted last night, because splashdown was at 2:07 AM here, so I'm posting now:
