Nice find, that is interesting. The GSO belt wasn't actually labelled as such, but a little googling tells me that that's where the TDRS satellites are. I note that the info is a bit out of date though, with the asteroids one being a bit more out of date.

That reminds me of an aurora I saw with friends while camping during the summer. It wasn’t as spectacular as some, just a green pulsing across the sky, covering around seventy percent of the sky. Just happily drunk, laying back on the middle of an abandoned road (a chunk of the old highway from before it was buried under the Hope Slide), watching meteors, satellites, and an eerie faint green sheet pulsing across the sky, with just the occasional howl of a car bulling through the air on the distant highway.

It appeared to cut the engines after losing control, and didn’t break up in the air, so somewhat different… For all I know Proton couldn’t cut the engines even if it wanted to…

Dammit Jeb!

I would assume that for flying cars to be mainstream, they would fly themselves. All you would do is tell it where you want to go and it would take you to the closest available landing spot, while you're playing Kitten Space Agency. For proper maintenance, private ownership is unlikely, it would simply be transportation-as-a-service

The wheel of ka (or time if you prefer) keeps turning..

Counter-rotating tails for extra maneuverability!

Grey, shaped like a sperm whale. Don’t panic !

Every future manned space mission should carry at least one towel per crew member…

They were welcomed home by some finny friends... (Above video queued to visitors)

I have to think new ideas had problems that were thrown away because they realized there was a problem. Is there a methodology for documenting and subsequently searching out these cases? Because I have to think there were cases of ideas conceived and then tossed for problems, and then reconceived and implemented without realizing there were issues with the idea…

The ones that are only a few km across should probably only be classified as captured asteroids. To be called a moon, it should be big enough to be spherical. IIRC that requires a diameter of about 100km…

Well. The plot thins. It appears Gene Hackman's wife died up to a week before Gene, from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Gene may not have been aware of her death due to advanced Alzheimer's, but given where his body was found, it's possible he was finally seeking help when his heart gave out. A sad story.

Especially considering that root systems, especially mycorrhizae fungal root filaments networks, can span huge areas. The largest known system (according to Google) is the 106 acre Pando aspen forest.
