The first private mission to Venus is taking shape with some help from engineers at NASA-Ames.

Rocket Lab's Venus mission, currently set for launch in Summer 2026, will search for evidence of life or habitable conditions in the clouds of Venus.

They said we were being hysterical for saying he would rule like a fascist.

There's a big #Reason, to have less and less #Faith in #american #Institutions, cause the #MAGA-#Gang is #cracking and #destroying those Institutions. The #WallStreet #Idiots are dreaming their #Life away, while America goes in #Tatters. And I live in #Germany, but feel for every #Democrat in the #USA, who is shocked by this #fascist #Policy they're #evolving.

There is a subgenre of academic papers that could have originally started as someone’s homework for a #SciFi story or #worldbuilding exercise. This exploration of constraints on #life beyond Earth definitely fits that category.
Also, seriously, #writers , so many excellent resources now to explore and understand how life outside Earth could evolve and function… if you want to go for hard SciFi (or just get some out-of-the-box ideas), just reach out and grab them.

A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
