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.

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.

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!

So if you were a 100%-straight-definitely-heterosexual man like Mr. FitzChivalry Farseer, how many times do you think you’d describe your boy best friend’s hands in a singular book? Bc in Fool’s Errand Fitz did it SIXTEEN FUCKING TIMES

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.

making connections to things that may or may not mean something AKA every cpn post 😂😂😂

and now we have come to part seven of xzs vlog and it wouldn’t be complete without some clowning. i skipped the previous one because there was nothing new so it’s time to pick it back up.

• part of xzs caption for this video has the same feel/message as a line in yibo’s bday letter from last year.

Yibo, sunsets are beautiful, just like every dusk that you missed when you focused on forging forward.

While rushing on the road, keep a mood to appreciate the scenery along the way🍦

it’s basically the thought of taking a pause and appreciating what is around you. in Bobo’s case, something as simple as the sunset and for xz, his vacation. their lives are so chaotic so it’s important for them to not get too caught up. i’m personally happy to see them in public events looking relaxed.

• this one is cuteeee! ice cream couple!!!! 🍨🍦

and the fact that they are both wearing a white shirt! they really do have the same braincell when it comes to casual clothes and we are here for it.

• one scene in the vlog is xz and then the camera cheekily focuses on a GUCCI store across the street. well people found out where that is and beside it is CHANEL.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Gucci x Chanel CP is real. 😂😂😂😂😂

• the usual imagery connected to them!

the dog, and actually you see more shots of actual dogs. he really wants one! awwww! and then the moon 🌕

but cpfs are focused on how he was gravitating towards the cow/ox/bull. now it could just be that it’s a famous animal that symbolizes the country and the city so it was natural that he will get it. i like how aside from buying souvenirs, it seems like he was also buying potential decorations for *coughs* their *coughs* home.

fans have found that the figures are from Trauffer Holzspielwaren and they have lots of “animal” figures but he still ended up choosing ones that we have been linking to yibo.

and it reminds us of how he took a picture of the pig plate! the reference is “subtle”.

• this shot with a yellow scoop/ball. yes it’s the shop’s property where he bought the ice cream but it also seems to represent the cpf’s 🟡🟡🟡! kinda similar with the egg yolk before.

• he didn’t age!!!! his look screams double airport xz from years ago 🥹🥹🥹🥹

-END.

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.

John Hancock is sooo funny. Like to me personally. He's like if you played Skyrim and went to Riften, met the Jarl, and after doing 1 side quest to ROB said Jarl they were like "hey, I'm coming with you"

And if you even try to be like "what about the town?" He's like ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ "don't care. It'll still be standing when I get back. Or it won't. Whatever." And he fills your little wasteland travels with deflective sarcasm.

And then you fall in love.
