Non-Profit Organization Wants To Launch Deep Space Telescope To Search For Dangerous Asteroids. Bruce Willis Nods.
Deep space asteroids are out there, folks. They’re lurking. Taking their time. Waiting for us to get complacent. Right when we think we’ve got the entire cosmos to ourselves, they’re going to launch their asses through gravity and physics right at our precious Blue Marble. One non-profit wants to help prevent this.

We don’t quite treat our water supply here on Earth with much respect. No worries though. I mean, what can we do? As a Western culture? Drawback? Pah! Cut down on our corpulence? Pah! We just need to head to Europa.
NASA Develops Vacuum Tube Prototype for SPACE COMPUTERS. Rad Res++
Something I’ve never really thought of: how computers would stand up to the unkind blasts of radiation in space. Thankfully there are smarter people out there, who can think of space without inevitably diverging into “like, we’re all from the Big Bang, mannn” like me.
