The Science of Climate Change and Technology Solutions

Introduction

Climate change, of all the challenges, is among the most critical in the modern day. With such unpredictability from variable weather patterns and global average temperature increases, the need for implementable solutions has perhaps never been so extreme. By exploring the intriguing intersection of climate-change science and innovative technology solutions, TechtoIO goes to the bottom of this global issue. Read to continue

State-Backed Chinese Firm Plans Space Tourism Flights by 2028

According to recent reports from state media, CAS Space, a prominent Chinese commercial space enterprise, disclosed plans for its "space tourism vehicle," slated to conduct its inaugural flight in 2027, with a journey to the edge of space scheduled for 2028.

Shortly after this announcement, Blue Origin, backed by Jeff Bezos, unveiled plans to recommence operations of its New Shepard Rocket, which serves both cargo and human flights to the edge of space. This development marks the conclusion of an almost two-year hiatus in crewed operations.

Tourist Cabin

CAS Space elaborated that their vehicle will boast a tourist cabin outfitted with four panoramic windows, designed to accommodate up to seven passengers per flight. The company envisions launching trips every 100 hours from a newly erected aerospace theme park, deploying ten vehicles to ferry tourists to the edge of space in a rotational manner.

Behold! I, in my boredom and neurodivergence, have taken the organism archive (Faithfully updated by me) and converted it into a very messy genome!

6 pages of A, C, G and T! What could result when BLASTing this?

String identified: (all that)

Closest match: Napeogenes sylphis genome assembly, chromosome: 12 Common name: Clearwing Butterfly

i can't stop chewing on the MASH time loop situation. my star trek brain will not turn off. there is definitely some kind of temporal anomaly at play, but it's not really a time loop in the traditional sense.

effects carry over from loop to loop. they appear to age. the same wounded soldiers appear on the table three times, but the scars of past surgeries are still there. a character leaves or dies and is gone from the mash forever; their replacement arrives near the end of the war and is still there at the beginning. the dates overlap, yet their presence is sequential. the other characters remember all of them.

how far does this effect extend? if it's summer again at mash, is it summer in tokyo? is it summer in maine? if BJ is in korea two years before he arrived, who's in residency in california, marrying his wife, conceiving his child?

their family trees at home deform—different wives, different children, loved ones alternately dead and alive and never born. those inside are oblivious to what they've lost. hawkeye remembers trapper, but not his sister. what happens in korea persists; the world outside is a fragile suggestion. he tells a soldier that men at the front can't see the whole war, only the other guys dug in with them on their one little hill.

for a deep space nine fan this is irresistible. hawkeye says, wars end, but war is forever. kira asks, if the past has changed, why do i still remember it? sisko never left that ship. time itself is warped by trauma. it is not linear. you exist here. you choose to exist here.

Years of Science - Chapter 23: Entropy

[Chapter 23 on AO3] - [Chapter 1 on AO3]

Portal 2: Chell/GLaDOS

Chapter Word Count: 5193

Chapter 23 Summary:

Entropy (Noun): Lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder.

Fic Summary:

When two stubborn women become roommates half way through college, it’s up to them to decide whether they make it through together, or fall apart at the seams.

Only time will tell if Chell will continue to fight for their blooming relationship, if Gladys will open up about her past, and if they’ll remain by each others sides even with a dark future looming over their heads.

The sixth scene is nearly done, with only two more remaining!!! With all the complicated animation in this scene complete (and with it, the last of the complicated animation for the entire episode!), only some simple animation, minimal painting, and motion smears remain!

Here, we see Sophodra starting to feel some doubt about things.

I should be able to finish this scene up over the weekend. Then, the very, very longest scene of the episode. It's extremely simple, so I'm hoping it'll only take a week, but it's so long that it may well take two. Luckily, after that we have only one very short scene, and then the last week of work on Gregorsa's stuff, sound effects, and credits. Either way, an August release is still looking doable. Until next time!

Three designs getting updates in my shop!

Sacabambaspis felt like they were missing their nostrils. Megalonyx needed a small face update, now I think it actually looks like a sloth. And my plesiosaurus…

It was from my first batch of 52 designs, and yes it was cute, but it always kinda bugged me that it was really off. And I was able to pose it better the second time.

After two delays, Russia successfully launches the ambitious Angara-A5 rocket from the Vostochny Cosmodrome

On Thursday, Russia has achieved a successful launch of the Angara-A5 rocket from the Vostochny Cosmodrome. This launch, following a string of technical setbacks that resulted in the cancellation of two earlier attempts, underscores the intimidating challenges encountered in the realm of high-stakes space technology.

Nestled within the forests of the Amur region in Russia’s Far East, the Vostochny Cosmodrome buzzed with anticipation as the Angara-A5, a powerful rocket engineered to transport payloads exceeding 20 tonnes into orbit, ascended into the sky.

Idk if you're still taking votv requests, but I really liked that one omega kerfus sketch where it's getting pet...👀 do you think that opening up its chassis would give you radiation sickness, since it has that capsule inside of it?

(...worth it if you ask me)

good news anon, the radioactive capsule isn't in there! perfectly safe :3

Civil Defense rescuer Noah (Nooh) Al-Shaghnobi provides an update on the situation around the University College of Applied Science in Gaza City

After besieging the area for over a week with ground troops and tanks, systematically bombing and bulldozing homes and businesses in the university’s vicinity, the occupation has mostly withdrawn from the neighborhood. In their wake they leave utter devastation, and the streets are lined with the dozens of decomposing bodies of martyrs.

While surveying the area, Noah and other locals came under renewed attack by occupation snipers and/or quadcopters, which attacked all civilians in sight. The scene is absolutely horrific.

WARNING: the footage is extremely graphic and disturbing. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.

Consequence Update

The largest chapter of Saturnine to date has just been uploaded. Dealing with the aftermath of the final battle against Crystal, it covers so many things that I won’t bother listing them all. Just know there are lots of choices, outcomes, conversations, lightning strikes and potential romance scenes. Stuff happens.

I’m tired. I’ll try to upload another chapter for the game’s first anniversary next month, but for now I’ll just take a break. Maybe hit the gym or something, it sure sounds less exhausting than dealing with choice blocks.
