Same happened to me, the changes seem to have some teething problems. I couldnt login as well at one stage and created a new account, only to find my old one worked later. Go figure....

Speaking of Teslas in space - is that one being tracked? Curious as to its current location?

If you happen to be correct, how much brighter will it appear to the naked eye?

This will become the norm soon, there's a lot more coming courtesy of Star link.

While this sounds like an ideal plan, realistically our technology in robotics is still too far away to do all those tasks you mentioned. We would be able to land humans a lot sooner before we can achieve all that. IMHO - the MARS mission will most likely play out just like the movie "the...

Congrats Hrvatska. I do hope the satellite has better imaging capability. I understand this is the first photo so its still probably going through calibration and setting up.

I doubt they would make contact with a farmer, that would go against their prime directive. But then again, even Picard was known to bend the rules.

Yeah - I'm in the "empirical evidence" camp on this one too. I have watched my fair share of UFO encounters, reports, even had family & friends swear they had seen UFO's. I have personally seen some questionable things in the night sky, but the lack of evidence is keeping me skeptical. I...

If you have ad blockers on this may be why. If there's a video I want to see I will swap browsers but only momentarily before my eyes start bleeding from all the ads,

I dont see them either while using Firefox with the ad blockers. I have to jump on another web browser, eg. Chrome to see them or remove the ad blocker. However, if I don't use ad blocker for this site I think my eyes start to hurt with all the ads that pop up.

Sadly, I think it will be labelled a mishap due to the re-entry of debris after the RUD. And unfortunately, probably wont see another test flight for a few months until FAA are satisfied, I hope I'm wrong though.

I think you missed my point, basically I was saying the astronauts would up pick up the samples left by Perseverance and take it back with them, along with further samples they dig up themselves. I never alluded that they would study the samples in situ.

If we get boots on Mars those samples will most likely be redundant, basically a museum piece. I'm sure future astronauts to Mars will have equipment that will be able to dig for samples deeper and in other locations that Perseverance couldn't get to.

Maybe its my old age but when i saw the name "BluShift" for the first time, it kinda read differently in my head.

According to Google search.... The first year on Mars was designated as MY1, and began on April 11, 1955, the date of the northern spring equinox. The system was first described by R. Todd Clancy of the Space Science Institute in a paper on seasonal temperature variation
