Letter to a spacefarer

Tell me spacefarer, when you look out, what do you see? What lies ahead on the cosmic horizon? Where are you headed? I think of you visiting far-flung outposts, orbiting space stations, and glimmering megalopolises. I dream of you touching pulsars, nebulas, black holes, and new stars.

Tell me spacefarer, what drives you? Why do you stay in that bubble of life surrounded by the endless void? Are you with family or are they far away? Does a corporation own your servitude, or do you fly for you? I imagine a large family onboard a generation ship excited to start their new life on another planet. I believe in an independent captain, who unites their crew when faced with overwhelming odds.

Tell me spacefarer, is your life filled with excitement? Is every week packed with new adventures? Or has your extraordinary voyage through the void become a repeatable exercise in logistics? Does your job inspire wonder or boredom? I picture your colleagues with titles like fusion technician, anti-matter analyst, or space folder. I envision them leap with excitement at their work, or dread yet another day at the same station.

Tell me spacefarer, how do you see us? Are we specs, stepping stones, or a bridge connecting humanity to the stars? Do you think of us like Verne, dreaming of an impossible submarine? Or are we the Wright brothers, only touching the surface of the inevitable?

I see a man, born in the late 14th century, standing on a dock looking at a newly built ship. He marvels at advances made to develop grander and faster ships that require fewer sailors to operate. He hears exclamations that within a decade these advancements will create new trading routes for all, a thought that intrigues and excites him. He dreams of brave explorers venturing out and imagines what they will discover by going further and faster than anyone before them. He pictures himself, aboard a huge barque, manning the helm and commanding the crew. The speed at which they travel astonishes him, enabling them to explore new lands with ease.

This man stands in his present and looks out to the horizon, the future, dreaming of what is out of reach.

Within a few centuries, whilst this man has long passed, his dream has become a reality. Ships have become so large and fast that they can move cargo from Europe to Asia and back within a year. New worlds have been found. Yet, with the wonders around them the sailors on board are no longer fascinated by the same advancements, but exhausted from the effort. They now see their role, not as brave explorers, but as employees in a repeatable exercise in logistics – often dreading the journey.

Spacefarer, you are my sailor. I look at you and marvel, even if you do not marvel at yourself. I stand here in my present, looking out at the horizon, and dream of what it must be like for you over the bend.

But, spacefarer, I do not write to you to tell you how I marvel. I write to ask you this: when you look out, what do you see? What lies ahead on the cosmic horizon? Where are you headed?

NASA’s Progress in Reconnecting with Voyager 1

A Historic Mission’s Communication Woes

NASA engineers are making significant strides toward resolving a communication glitch that has plagued the Voyager 1 spacecraft since November 2023. Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 achieved a historic milestone in 2012 by becoming the first human-made object to venture beyond the confines of our solar system and into interstellar space. However, after dutifully transmitting invaluable data about the interstellar environment for over a decade, Voyager 1’s communications suddenly became incomprehensible to ground control.

Unraveling the Mystery

The anomaly, characterized by a monotonous dial tone replacing Voyager 1’s data transmissions, puzzled engineers for months. Initially, the culprit was believed to be Voyager 1’s flight data subsystem (FDS), responsible for processing and transmitting scientific data back to Earth. Despite the setback, Voyager 2, Voyager 1’s counterpart, continued its operations smoothly after exiting the solar system in 2018.

A Breakthrough in Diagnosis

Recently, on March 3, NASA’s Voyager mission team detected unusual activity within a segment of Voyager 1’s FDS, sparking hope of a breakthrough. Although the data received remained unintelligible in its conventional binary code, an astute engineer at NASA’s Deep Space Network decoded an outlier signal. This signal contained a comprehensive readout of Voyager 1’s FDS memory, holding vital instructions and data waiting to be transmitted to Earth.

Charting the Path Forward

Armed with this newfound information, engineers aim to compare the recent signal with data transmitted before the communication breakdown. By pinpointing discrepancies, they hope to identify the root cause of the anomaly. Employing a strategy dubbed a “poke” from mission control, engineers prompt Voyager 1’s FDS to experiment with different software sequences, potentially circumventing any corrupted sections.

The Long Road to Restoration

Despite these promising developments, restoring communication with Voyager 1 remains a formidable task. Situated roughly 15 billion miles away from Earth, each exchange of data entails a staggering 22.5-hour delay. Engineers received the results of their “poke” on March 3 and have since been meticulously decoding the signal to glean insights into Voyager 1’s status.

In the coming days, NASA’s dedicated team of scientists and engineers will continue to analyze the FDS readout, striving to reignite communication with this iconic spacecraft that has forever expanded humanity’s understanding of the cosmos.

В Сети появился ролик, где показано зарождение и развитие вселенной | http://www.informtime.com/world/v-seti-poyavilsya-rolik-gde-pokazano-zarozhdenie-i-razvitie-vselennoj

Десятиминутный ролик, показывающий 14 миллиардов лет жизни вселенной, набирает популяр��ости. Одна се��унда видео отражает 22 миллиона лет развития.

В Сети появился, десятиминутный ролик, в котором показано зарождение и развитие вселенной. За полтора дня видео американского музыканта и видеолюбителя Джона Босуэлла собрало около 96 тысяч просмотров, сообщает Informtime со ссылкой на Korrespondent.

Авторы отмечают, что в ролике время жизни вселенной показано со скоростью 22 миллиона лет в секунду.

«В космическом масштабе история человечества так же коротка как мгновение ока. Ужав все 13,8 миллиарда лет до десяти минут, мы показали, насколько молоды и насколько велика наша Вселенная. Начиная от большого взрыва и заканчивая появлением человека разумного, мы прослеживаем время со скоростью 22 миллиона лет в секунду, строго придерживаясь современного научного понимания», — отмечается в пояснении к видео.

В ролике использовались медиаматериалы из открытых источников, в том числе NASA, VoyageofTime, CosmicVoyage, WondersoftheUniverseи других.

Ранее стало известно, что ученые создали самую реалистичную копию Вселенной.
