Saw Project Hail Mary at the IMAX yesterday. I wasn&#39;t sure how well it would translate from the book, but I was pleasantly surprised at how emotionally invested I became in the fate of a 5-legged stone spider with no anthropomorphic features. Kudos to the puppeteers who brought Rocky to life. #ProjectHailMary #filmMastodon

&#39;Today, the space around Earth can no longer be considered empty. More than 30,000 objects are in orbit, and that figure is rising exponentially&#39; I love these Grauniad infographic reports, but this is getting really scary. https://www.theguardian.com/science/ng-interactive/2026/mar/31/this-feels-fragile-how-a-satellite-smashing-chain-reaction-could-spiral-out-of-control #SpaceJunk #Satellites #Space

How pathetic was BBC Science Reporter Rebecca Morelle&#39;s coverage of the Artemis 2 launch? I mean, I&#39;m glad that she found it exciting, but it wasn&#39;t what you would call &#39;reporting&#39;, was it? /1 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c8r4e7jpkz6o #Artemis2 #SpaceLaunch #NASA

Dusted off an old Windows 10 desktop PC and installed Linux Zorin on it to have a play, with a view to switching my increasingly-slower Win 11 laptop to Linux. I&#39;m quite liking the Zorin, although I&#39;ve already had to delve into terminal to sort out a keyring issue (and find out what they were!). I think I&#39;m going to give Linux Mint a shot for comparison. #Linux #LinuxZorin

Today we continued our Shackleton pilgrimage by visiting the graves of Harry &#39;Chippy&#39; McNish - with its &#39;Mrs Chippy&#39; statue - and (after some searching) that of Thomas Orde-Lees. Both members of Shackleton&#39;s team on the Endurance and, although neither of them liked each other very much, they were both laid to rest in Karori cemetery in Wellington. #Shackleton #Endurance #ChippyMcNish #MrsChippy #ThomasOrdeLees #KaroriCemetery #wellingtonnz
