The cost-per-watt of compute for orbital solar data centers is $51.10/W vs. just $15.85/W for terrestrial sites; SpaceX is uniquely positioned to try orbital (Andrew McCalip)

“Core Thesis: The target I care about is simple: can you make space-based, commodity compute cost-competitive with the cheapest terrestrial alternative? That's the whole claim. Not "space is big." Not "the sun is huge." Not "launch will be cheap." Can you deliver useful watts and reject the waste heat at a price that beats a boring Crusoe-style tilt-wall datacenter tied into a 200–500 MW substation? If you can't beat that, the rest is just vibes.”

[39c3] Who cares about the Baltic Jammer? – Terrestrial Navigation in the Baltic Sea Region
Since 2017, our team at DLR and partners across Europe have been working on an alternative to satellite navigation: **R-Mode**, a backup system based on terrestrial transmitters. Our main testbed spans the Baltic Sea — a region now infamous for GN...

The BBC charter green paper does at least acknowledge the licence fee's elephant in the room - we're potentially, maybe, ten to fifteen years away from switching off terrestrial TV broadcast towers.

I watched E.T. (1982) recently. I remember seeing it as a kid but couldn't remember much except "phone home". I didn't like the child actors to be honest but the rubber puppet worked so well when it was lying on its "death bed" 😭
Surprised by the swear words they used though. Shit, dick....🫢 I wanted to see what the neighbourhood looks like today as it was a newly built suburbia in 1982. Turns out, somebody already did the research!

Revealed: Europe’s water reserves drying up due to climate breakdown.
“When we compare the total terrestrial water storage data with climate datasets, the trends broadly correlate,” said Mohammad Shamsudduha, professor of water crisis and risk reduction at UCL.
