The heat is on. Global warming shows it hot face. Every year is hotter than the previous.

 

Missions to Mars will be operated by Robots

Missions to Mars will be operated by robots, impossible for humans. The fuel requirements are too high; the rocket is too slow. Too much radiation. Not enough exercise.

Richard Feynman gave a full explanation.

But Robots...just give them a wind. Of course, something new and innovative could happen.

Any object that we discover from outside the solar system “is a new piece of the puzzle,” Statler said, in terms of understanding how planetary systems form and develop. They are like “frozen fossils,” he said.

The long-awaited images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HIRISE), whose release was delayed due to the government shutdown, can now be used to refine the size of the comet’s nucleus. Results will have to await further analysis, according to scientists at the press conference. Meanwhile, images taken by the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft, also at Mars, “truly are incredible,” said Shannon Curry (University of Colorado, Boulder) in a NASA release.

Update 08 November 2025

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS set a new first in its class on 4th November. The Meerkat radio detected a signal coming from the comet in the 1600 MHz range. Moreover, the natural signal had notches at 1665 MHz and 1667 MHz, which occur due to OH absorption. The detection is the first time a radio spectrum of an interstellar object has been obtained.

Astronomers have been left stunned by the sudden surge from comet 3I/ATLAS, a rare interstellar traveler now making a close pass around the Sun. In a matter of weeks, it has transformed from a faint object into a dazzling spectacle, brightening far more rapidly than experts had anticipated

Key Facts Discovery Date July 1st, 2025 Estimated Size 1 km diameter Current Speed 65.9 km/s

Rise of Cannabis, a lively travelogue compiled from years of notebook entries, is just starting to appear as Gonzo journalism makes a comeback in mainstream journalism. The first reviews are in, and they’re good.

The story follows Gonzo from the beginning in Bayside, Queens, to the current time. Rubman captures the thrill of access along with the gray areas: street deals, underground rules, and the trafficking of happiness.

The story begins in New York and ends in Los Angeles. With trips and visits to Egypt, Lima, and Boston.

Mitch Rubman received a master’s in clinical psychology from Antioch University and a BA in Planetary and Space Sciences from Boston University. He currently has 9 titles on Amazon, 5 of which are American English series. The others are screenplays, Rock Stars in Space, The Maelstrom Whirlpool, Escape from Lima, and The Meter Maid.

The reviewer adds that the journey feels authentic, confusing, and extraordinarily human—an honest story. The Rise of Cannabis and the Decline in Civilization is available everywhere.
