NASA’s nuclear Dragonfly copter to search for signs of life on Titan:
‘A lot’s riding on it’

has survived a decade of uncertain budgets and a shift in NASA priorities
to become the space agency’s last, large-scale planetary science mission,
scheduled to blast off in July 2028 bound for Saturn’s largest moon.
Over the next few months, workers at APL will bolt on eight three…

#goodmorning from our #morningwalk
It has rained a bit during the night, it's nice and chill - until the sun shines on a dark tshirt, then it's nice and warm

The sun is visible near the center of the image, partially obscured by a lens flare effect, casting a bright and warm light over the scene. Beyond the houses, rolling hills or mountains rise, adding depth and a sense of natural beauty to the landscape. description generated with Mistral.ai and rev…

The first of two wars against the Barbary pirates, the scourge of shipping for decades, hastened the building of the U.S. Navy
and began a lon…

This image captures a rustic trail leading through a grassy hillside. The trail is constructed from weathered wooden planks and logs, creating a natural and uneven path. The surrounding grass is tall and lush, with a mix of green and golden hues. In the background, the hill rises gently, covered in dense evergreen trees. At the top of the hill, there is a small wooden cabin with a blue roof, adding a touch of human presence to the natural scene. The sky above is partly cloudy, with patches of b…

We expected rain (but no ⚡⛈️).
So we got our jackets, did our errands with our little bike trailer - and were lucky because it didn't even rain 💪
✅ Saved fuel again
✅ Physical activity
✅ Faster way to detach from work
✅ Saw a couple of cats
Totally recommended!
