In the late 2020s, the ESA is slated to launch a "comet interceptor." The goal is to send the unmanned spacecraft into one of Earth's stable Lagrange points, where it will wait for a comet to fly close to the Earth. Once it spots a target, the spacecraft will deploy two mini-probes and the trio will skim the object for information. Once the mission is carried out, it'll be the first ever probe to have a target that was not specifically defined beforehand. This is necessary because comets arrive too suddenly and depart to swiftly for a mission to be planned and launched as it happens.

@GlitterBug In the 16th century (and other periods), it was hypothesized that there was a planet on the opposite side of the Sun for Earth, sharing Earth's orbit. This planet would never be visible from our position because it had the same speed, and would also be potentially habitable on account of having the same semi-major axis. We now know that this planet doesn't exist due to the gravitational influence it would have on Venus and vice versa, and also because our space probes would've spotted it. But the principle itself is still valid in that one [i]could[/i] hypothetically exist without fucking anything up in, say, another stellar system.

Computers as a whole are limited today by the speed of light and system design. Computers will not be getting any faster in the way they operate so the new movement of the computer science industry is minimization and increase of processors to help divide and conquer (a term that is coupled well with and is beloved by computer scientists)

The Archer episodes Sea Tunt parts 1&2 were full of throwbacks to Adam Reed and Matt Thompson’s earlier show, Sealab 2021. The character Captain Murphy was killed by a soda machine branded Goz in the Archer version of Sealab. In Sealab 2021, the character Captain Murphy was voiced by Harry Goz, and spent an entire episode trapped under a soda machine.

I read some of that in your about me, though I don't remember seeing them being kitchen staff for the Czars. Very interesting background your family seems to have. Thanks for sharing. 😊 @Anonymartyr

@GlitterBug She came to Canada at the age of 9 with her surviving family. They became servants in my maternal grandfather's childhood home. They grew up together before they married. After that everything started to go wrong for them.
