Thousands of rockets have launched into space over the last several decades. But what would it take to build an elevator that goes from Earth to space? Thousands of meters of cable, for starters. @sciencefocus has more on this impossible-sounding idea that more people have been giving serious thought over the years.

If you’ve ever been taught how Earth orbits around the Sun, you might think our planet travels along an oval-shaped path that brings it closer to the Sun at some times of the year than others.

You’d have a good reason to think that, too: it’s how most textbooks show things. But what if your textbooks were wrong?

See what the Earth, the Sun and a bike wheel have in common as we explain exactly how orbits work… ausgeo.co/orbits

@Not_a_Catt thank you.

Today, I love the Fediverse.

Born in 1965, I grew up with Timothy's Space Book (1961):

Destroyed by West Highland White Terrier Angie. I mourned the loss of the book as much as I did the later loss of the dog. Decades later I found just one copy for sale, planet-wide: from someone named … Graham, whose home was around a mile away from mine.

Imagine.

Yours sincerely

Graham, space cadet

To avoid any possible confusion: Alpha Centauri is the hermaphrodite who dresses stylishly in a space curtain, and has difficulty unfastening the collar despite having six arms.

Whilst it's debatably poor judgement to bring politics into BSD Cafe, I do feel that the Earth Federation Ambassador to Peladon has potential to do better for the UK than the current Government. Certainly this EFA is a more appropriate candidate for US Presidency than an ex-president who shall remain nameless.
