Thanks. Canterbury. Just take photo's with my phone but some of them come out ok.

Will be interesting to see how well the satellites hold up to the massive forces once they start sending them up with the centrifuge. They'll need to be pretty strong.

Episode 2 - Gravity Restored - coming soon.

It's true, around every corner of the South Island especially there is something else stunning to see.

EDS sure is a neat system. Hopefully they will employ it on a large scale on upcoming missions. They need some kind of 'mud room' for the astronauts suits as well but that will probably need to use air

I could see these working well on Mars too. They would easily traverse up and down craters and around tricky landscape areas. Pity it's going to be a while before they are ready.

Hopefully, the water they are finding is usable when people arrive and not be a quirk of the instruments. The decision about where the first Starships should land is definitely influenced by where the

Just right place on the right day. Thanks.

Thanks for the encouragement. Much appreciated.

Thanks for including my Lake Tekapo photos. Glad they can be enjoyed by others.

Good work on the upgrade. The bi-facial panels certainly come into the own in certain scenarios.

It could include 'off-world' as well

We had a Power Spout on another property once, went really well. If you can do hydro, it sure is good in the bad weather when solar is not giving much. From my experience, for the cost and benefit of wind,

It's always such a good moment when the power is finally on. Hopefully your story will encourage others to keep at it too.

It’s definitely simpler if it’s set up that way from the start. Don’t know that brand, but it does seem to have good features, and is expandable too, which is good.

True. Some systems are 'battery ready', in which case adding one is easier. Others aren't so that's when costs can add up. This is import to consider when putting in a new install.

Dominate or enhance human activity - let's hope for the second.

One key reason crewed polar orbits weren't done in the past is also communication blackouts. Starlink from Dragon as reduced this problem which makes it safer now than before.

New Zealand's Taupo eruption (Oruanui) was one of the top 5 - 10 largest globally as well. While it is a lake now, it is still deemed potentially active. That's a fun thought 😵
