For INDLs, If you share the vision and want to connect or collaborate, let’s team up and build this future together.

[Aditi Jha @Quantum_Aditi]

just a sci-fi project created that looks like already existing Fr.

@Optimus_RH When is this gonna happen lol?

[Aditi Jha @Quantum_Aditi]

@clevernameer @Optimus_RH agree🙄

[Aditi Jha @Quantum_Aditi]

@noush7n @ZcashIND @Zcash @zcash_community Clear explanation! Love the dedication

This is the future we shall bring into being

You never quite get used to sunrises and sunsets in space. In spite of witnessing sixteen of them in a period of 24 hours.

From the Cupola of the ISS, the transition from daylight to darkness is extraordinarily beautiful. The Sun seems to disappear behind the Earth, and for a few brief moments, the atmosphere glows in layers of blue, orange and gold. Then, almost as quickly, the darkness arrives.

And then there are times when the Sun doesn’t seem to want to set at all.

This happens during what is known as a high-beta period. The beta angle is essentially the angle between the Sun’s direction and the orbital plane of the spacecraft. When this angle becomes large, the ISS can spend much longer portions of its orbit in sunlight—and sometimes pass through very short periods of darkness before emerging into sunlight again.

It sounds like a photographer’s dream. For spacecraft engineers, it is a rather different story.

More sunlight means more solar energy, but it also means more heat to manage. The ISS has to continuously balance the energy it absorbs and generates with the heat it needs to reject through its thermal-control system. High-beta periods can therefore impose additional thermal and power constraints.

These constraints can affect mission operations too. Visiting spacecraft may have to work within tighter power and thermal limits, and the timing of rendezvous or undocking can sometimes be influenced by the beta angle and the resulting operational conditions.

That was something we experienced during my own mission: our undocking timeline had to take the beta-angle conditions into account.

It is one of the things I love about spaceflight.

From the window, it is simply a spectacular sunset.

Behind the window, it is an engineering problem involving orbital mechanics, power, thermal control and a lot of people making sure everything stays within limits.

Space is beautiful. But it becomes a lot more interesting when you have to solve for every little thing.

@rotten_doom_ Yea it gets awkward😭😭

SOMEONE BUILT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IN YOUR BROWSER.

YOU CAN FLY THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW.

no download. no app. no account.

you open the tab and you are in space.

it's called Galaxium. https://t.co/GjBcK32Hdb.

scroll out from Earth. Mars. Jupiter. Saturn with real rings. past Pluto. past Voyager 2, still flying since 1977. into the Milky Way. you hit Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of our galaxy. the light bends around it. real physics.

click any object. it flies you there.

126 points on Hacker News. people are not bookmarking it. they are flying through it.

just a website that lets a normal person leave Earth for a few minutes.

we built the internet and somehow one of the best things on it right now is still:

open tab.
fly into space.

[Aditi Jha @Quantum_Aditi]

@djcows He will def go to Mars with this technology

[Aditi Jha @Quantum_Aditi]

@Umesh__digital tf why am i liking this?

[Aditi Jha @Quantum_Aditi]

@NightSkyToday apocalypse

[Aditi Jha @Quantum_Aditi]

@rotten_doom_ @pranavcodes_ Fr😭

[Aditi Jha @Quantum_Aditi]

@Info4funbr @NightSkyToday in this situation they'll surely come

[Aditi Jha @Quantum_Aditi]

@Trump_News0 Chimpanzees would look better next to him

[Aditi Jha @Quantum_Aditi]

@Elonshadownlpc i love your starship more

[Aditi Jha @Quantum_Aditi]

@themishra4402 soon you'll see ocean disappearing (I'd be the one doing that wd claude af)

[Aditi Jha @Quantum_Aditi]

@nazor_ret @jiya_3063 Bro without a gaming laptop is literally cooked, out here googling for hope and letting the search results gas them up 💀 down bad fr

[Aditi Jha @Quantum_Aditi]

@xPraveen07 macOS is literally just Unix with an absolute aura. The hardware and software are locked in out the box—no skips, no misses, it just hits.

[Aditi Jha @Quantum_Aditi]

@Umesh__digital Think about people who haven't learned to code, even with docs and YouTube available today.
