shortwavesurfer, w Laser on NASA's Psyche asteroid probe beams data from 140 million miles away

Okay, that’s really cool and 25 megabits per second is actually very good compared to what they get back from other probes. At speeds like that, they could send back 4k pictures, which would be extremely high resolution for craft like this.

    I think you answered your own question.

    They really expect us to believe this shit!? Those are definitely large alien spiders that are coming to the surface to mate and multiply as they prepare to attack Earth. I need to join up with United Citizen Federation, quick. I suggest you all do the same…

    Scientists baffled! (cue image of guys wearing glasses and white labcoats, clipboard in hand, ready to take notes at the drop of a pin)

    “Uncanny” - said an unnamed, top researcher at the institute.
    “Eerie” - said another.

    That’s a confusing headline. Let’s make it better:

    Mars Spiders Swarm Inca City!

    I’m not even bothering opening the article, the rant is for the channel or whatever the room is called in Lemmy

    It’s a good time to blacklist this news source.

    ITT people on this thread need to listen to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds

    Lyre, w Hundreds of black 'spiders' spotted in mysterious 'Inca City' on Mars in new satellite photos

    I would love it if publications could just limit their headlines to one misleading term per story. The rocks are a ‘city’? Sure. The geysers looks like ‘spiders’? I guess. But when you start putting them together in the same headline it feels like your breaking the fourth wall or something

    At least they’re in quotes, I guess.

    Yeah its hard to read as quote spiders unquote quote inca city unquote. New articles should not be doing this. geez at least put so called or something.

    Great news, terrible article!

    lemmyseizethemeans,

    I know right. Please for the love of all things science tell us how they fixed it

    huskypenguin,

    It happens every spring, so chances are high.

    If it’s a million to one, it’s bound to happen. That’s just common sense

    Hobbes_Dent,

    Duh. It wouldn’t be such a common saying if it wasn’t how to make it work.

    TLDR: It’s gas deposits, not Martian spiders… yet.

    We want Healthcare.

    EldritchFeminity,

    Fund both. With 1% of the US military budget, NASA could afford to consider manned missions to Mars.

    LustyArgonianMana,
    @LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world avatar

    Sure, I am not opposed to science. Just can’t help pointing out the lack of Healthcare for all whenever I see these budgets for other programs. Kinda absurd for granny to be rationing her insulin when we have this kind of money available

    that sounds very cheap in the grand scheme of things. imagine if we didnt spend so much with wars.

    SoleInvictus,

    Seriously. The United States just sent nearly $60B to Ukraine. Nearly 18 times more than this. If humans weren’t so intent on fighting with each other and instead spent that time, energy, and resources on advancing as a connected society, we could do amazing things. Instead, we’re barreling into the future as predicted by RoboCop.

    DoctorWhookah,

    I’ll buy that for a dollar!

    JohnDClay,

    You can’t just cut keeping tyrants at bay though. I totally agree starting a war is stupid, but defending against invasion definitely isn’t. And it prevents future wars from starting or spreading. So as cool as it would be to invest trillions into space exploration, we can’t just leave Ukraine out to dry.

    SoleInvictus, (edited )

    I totally agree with you, I’m all for funding Ukraine’s defense. It’s just my idealist fantasy that everyone one day wakes up and realizes we’re being collectively quite stupid for the benefit of a very small segment of the population and we could do so much more if we cut them out.

    ColeSloth, w NASA officially greenlights $3.35 billion mission to Saturn’s moon Titan

    Negative 290f. Little past jacket weather. Will they have to stick a radioactive isotope in the thing to keep the batteries warm, I guess? Seems like a good and hard mission, right there. I want a picture of weatherproof methane aliens, damn it.

    Fosheze,

    Odds are they’re using an RTG to power it anyways. Titan actually has a much thicker atmosphere than even earth and it’s much farther away from the sun as well so solar isn’t going to be a good option to power anything they send down.

    ColeSloth, (edited )

    RTG would need batteries to be getting charged to meet power demands of flight, but I guess that should take care of the batteries being kept warm enough.
