The Three Body Problem has always fascinated me. On the surface, it seems like it should be a simple solvable problem. Space is full of examples for how it works!
But the truth is enveloped in hidden complexities justinmmartin.me/blog/three-…
Took a lot of tries, but finally claimed #1 for Level 20 · Nearest Neighbors! 34,142 points
That last second resonance was clutch!

Titan makes flying almost unfair.
Its air is about four times denser than Earth's, and gravity is only about one-seventh. Put those together and lift gets roughly 40 times cheaper.
So NASA's sending a nuclear-powered octocopter, not a rover.

Last night I was pondering the outcome of this election. Living it Texas, it felt very real.
I wanted to understand how EVERY county in TX could have moved to the left.
That seemed impossibly odd. Suspiciously odd. I needed to understand. So I made this: justinmmartin.me/blog/the-sh…
I pulled in dozens of sources to get the outcomes and shifts in the last 20 presidential elections, and the midterms between them, going back to 1948.
The evidence was extremely surprising. This election, while having a huge swing, wasn't a major outlier. There have been plenty of elections with MUCH larger swings.
Take a look at the webpage. You can view each and every county, how they swung each election, and a bunch of other really insightful comparisons.
2008 -> 2010 was a massive double swing. 64 house seats. Likely considerably more than we will see from this midterm.

These orbits get so wild

37,617 against the current. 🚀
Going the wrong way is where space gets violent. Leonid meteors orbit the Sun backward, so they hit our air nearly head-on at 71 km/s. Ones catching up from behind can arrive as slow as 11.
Same physics, opposite lane, six times the speed.
Personal record on Level 35 · Contraflow! 37,617 points 🚀 No two games are ever the same.

Took over a dozen tries to get #1 on leaderboard for this level!
Personal record on Level 11 · Little Ember! 30,836 points
Theoretically possible to get over 40k points on Little Ember, but you’d need God like slings

Building fun games has never been easier.
It is a huge reminder that the world our kids are growing into will be driven with insanely fun education and endless learning.

You will be missed, Sir Patrick Stewart. Your legacy of roles inspired generations. You created the model of what I imagine a moral and strong captain to be.

They don't unfold with motors. They unroll like a tape measure.
Each boom is a thin composite strip stored rolled flat. Let it go and it springs back straight, pulling the solar blanket out behind it.
Spring energy does the work, so fewer moving parts can fail.
Next Week’s Spacewalk: Unfurling the ISS’s Next Generation Solar Arrays
During next week’s spacewalk, astronauts will install new Roll-Out Solar Arrays (ROSAs) on the International Space Station. In the images you can already see two of them still tightly folded and ready for deployment, alongside views of how these flexible, high-efficiency arrays look once they have been rolled out and are fully operational in orbit.
Crushed it today! Luck + wild orbits for the win!
