What do you need from the group, and what do you have to offer? Good lessons this week with the new crew! #fusionmkvi @SaintsBC

#fusionmkvi begins today! One of our first things - how do we narrow down problems? Does it matter if we do it differently?

Bob’s Blog: Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa's latest plan for a lunar orbital flight in 2023 is an open-to-the-public contest for eight spots aboard a new SpaceX rocket.
The challenges facing this mission are big, but so are the potential rewards.

We've been hard at work @SaintsBC ! Fusion mkV is currently prototyping vehicles that could transport explorers across a particular exoplanet. What constraints does each planet throw at us?

Every year, local communities on either side of the Apurimac River Canyon use traditional Inka engineering techniques to rebuild the Q'eswachaka Bridge. The old bridge is taken down and the new bridge is built in only three days [full video: buff.ly/3hWfMYH]

How can you explore structures and construction? There are SO many possible pathways!
We love all the ideas you've shared, so we collected some into this handy flowchart. Use it to plot your own course through #CreativeConstructions. Where will your explorations lead?!
It's a big week for NASA space flight!
Before our Apollo astronauts launched to the Moon, they walked out of these doors at @NASAKennedy.
When we launch @AstroBehnken & @Astro_Doug to space on May 27, these doors will open again.
Set a reminder to watch history unfold as we #LaunchAmerica: go.nasa.gov/2Zwvjsz

Do you know more about the Milky Way, or a galaxy far, far away? 🧐

🔭Burning questions about the ultimate death of the cosmos?💥
THIS WEDNESDAY at 7pm EDT I'm doing a live online Q&A event with @Perimeter -- trailer and details here: insidetheperimeter.ca/join-a… (the equation in that image calculates when the cosmos might be ripped apart...)
ALT Me writing an equation on glass, looking very stern. Text says: "A conversation with Katie Mack, May 6 at 7pm ET. Live Webcast. insidetheperimeter.ca"

Bob’s blog: This week marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. A half a century ago, two iconic images of the Earth were taken that changed humanity's perspective on itself, and helped launch the environmental movement, yet both pictures were unplanned.

Over a period of two years researchers were able to observe what became an extremely rare supernova; one whose existence had only been theorized.
It's so big, and so bright, it can be seen from over 4 billion light years away.

It’s almost time for our Morning Session of our MLAB (@Mbadika) x @tinkercad #TinkerTogether Webinar!
Today, we’re transforming our CAD Model of our Garden Bed into a real-life prototype using items from around the home.
Join Us! autode.sk/STEAM1

200,000 miles from Earth. An explosion. Out-of-the-box thinking and even some duct tape. Hear from astronauts Jim Lovell and Fred Haise of #Apollo13 on the legacy of NASA’s “successful failure” on this week’s episode of “Houston, We Have a Podcast.”

The Fusion guys learned about this topic this week!
Ever look up at night and feel small? Don't. Instead feel large. Atoms in our body trace to remnants of exploded stars. We are Stardust. We are alive in the universe, and the universe is alive within us.
RIP Margaret Burbidge (1919-2020) Co-discoverer of Stellar Nucleosynthesis.

Since NASA is planning some extra long-duration spaceflights, scientists at Kennedy Space Center have been trying to figure out how to keep those astronauts fed without just relying on dehydrated, packaged food.
Enter: Space Lettuce.

An interesting volunteer opportunity for the scientifically inclined! Sign me up.
The Sally K. Ride Papers, nearly 40,000 pages of archival material chronicling Ride's career, have finally been digitized! You can help make them even more accessible by transcribing through @TranscribeSI: s.si.edu/2xVgO5Q #WomensHistoryMonth #BecauseOfHerStory
