NASA is exploring the potential of growing habitable structures from mushrooms for space colonies on the Moon and Mars, according to Al Jazeera. The concept, called "mycotecture," has been awarded a $2 million contract for further research at NASA's Ames Research Center. This approach could be much cheaper than sending traditional building materials to space, as fungal spores could be mixed with local lunar materials like water and regolith to create bricks. NASA's research suggests these mushroom-based structures could provide insulation, deflect space radiation, and grow quickly within one to two months. The process involves a package landing on the lunar surface that inflates, allowing fungal spores, water, and algae to grow an exterior shell, creating a habitable structure. However, challenges remain. There are concerns about whether the structures will be strong enough and provide adequate insulation in space. NASA plans to test a mycotecture model during the 2028 Starlab launch. If successful, these mushroom habitats could be the foundation for future space colonies.

Ah, love this! NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration is teaming up with Microsoft to create an AI chatbot designed to make it easier to access and understand scientific data about the Earth. The tool, called Earth Copilot, is designed to make it easier to access and understand NASA’s database of information. We should have chat bots for all general knowledge facts, created by the responsible organizations, using real data. Maybe not by Microsoft Copilot, as they are still figuring they way out, but OpenAI or Claude could support!

🌌✨ Certificate by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration! For the 2024 NASA International Space Apps Challenge, our team Hassan Gulzar, Saira Alvi (Software Engineer) , Osama Ghaffar and Fareeha Amir created an innovative platform that brings the wonders of space closer to users with these key technical functionalities: 3D Solar System Visualization 🌍 – Built with WebGL and Three.js, users can interact with planets and orbits in real-time. Near-Earth Object Tracking 🌠 – Using NASA’s API, we provide real-time data on asteroids and comets, with details on size, speed, and proximity to Earth. AI-Powered NASA Chatbot 🤖 – Our chatbot, powered by NLP, answers questions on space topics, from celestial phenomena to NASA missions. Data Visualization 📊 – We integrated Plotly and D3.js for interactive charts on object trajectories and planetary rotations.

Does the number of songs written each year correlate with the sunspot cycle? We will explore how to compare sunspot and song data and determine whether there is a statistically meaningful relationship between them.

📚 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🛰️ the recent repair of the Voyager 1 space probe is a testament on that. In order to assess what amazing work the people at the NASA actually did, we need some perspective here. 1️⃣ The Voyage 1 space probe started into space on September 5, 1977. So, 47 years by now. 2️⃣ The probe is currently 24,876,880,418 (yes, 24 BILLION) kilometers away from Earth. This is around 166 times the distance from Earth to the Sun. 3️⃣ It takes around 23 hours for the light to travel from the probe to Earth and vice versa. Communication signals take the same time. 4️⃣ In other words: you need to wait almost 2 days in order to observe, if a certain change has an effect (1 day for sending a signal, another one for receiving a status update). 5️⃣ Communications failed at some point in October of this year. The engineers were able to restore regular function after working on the issue for a month. 🗣️ To quote from the blog post by Nasa which I'll link also in the comments on the functioning of systems outside of their originally intended limits: "𝘛𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮’𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦, 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘵." 🤔 One shouldn't be thinking, that operating something like this would be possible without high-quality documentation. When I get asked by customers, if they should document something, my default answer is practically: yes. 😉 Now, this should be not confused with providing conflicting statements in multiple places in your documentation. This is of course also party of your quality assurance. NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
