Made famous for searching for aliens and the Golden Eye film. Shame

Had some cracking rows over the years but never felt the need to go this far. Literally!

CIA related UFO records declassified and released. 'All' US govt documents on UFOs are now searchable.
2,700 pages of information collected and recorded by the US govt regarding UFOs. The documents date back as far as the 1980s.

I expect it’s going to be less about them performing alien autopsies and more about some weird lights over a field somebody with questionable eyesight saw one time.

I'm kinda expecting to look inside one and see Aunt Beru offering Luke some blue milk...

Test run for 3D printing habitats on moon or Mars maybe?

[Wrathbone]

Looks a lot like what Neolithic people used to live in. Can they 3D print some internal walls and plumbing so it’s possible to go to the loo with some (any) level of privacy?

Still on the home front, this is currently trending on Twitter. Good old Lou!

fantastic

I watched NASA's stream live, in which one of the scientists involved had to guide viewers through the process. I have never listened to someone both so giddy with excitement and nervous at the same time, it was a treat.

Amazingly the first photos from the rover were back just minutes after they got confirmation of the landing, which seems incredible. Mars is a minimum of 180 light-seconds away from Earth, so the laws of physics dictated at least three minutes delay. Somehow a rover the size of a car on another planet has a higher bandwidth connection than I had 20 years ago with copper cabling just a few miles away from the source.

Awesome!

I love this stuff. One of my favorite vr things ever was the stitching together of the last Mars rovers photos into a vr landscape. You couldn’t do anything but look and teleport around a small area that had little info points to read but it was so much more awe inspiring than any dreamed up wonders because it’sa real thing. I stood on Mars!*
