Orbiter – Vostok 1 – First Ever Manned Spaceflight

December 24, 2019December 24, 2019ggubash

    Orbiter is a free spaceflight simulator, it’s got much more detail on the actual flying and vehicles than KSP, but lacks the building and real time rigid body physics that provide so much entertainment in KSP. But if you want to experience real spacecraft then it’s probably a better option.

    • NASA's NICER finds X-ray boosts in the Crab Pulsar's radio bursts April 8, 2021
      A global science collaboration using data from NASA's Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) telescope on the International Space Station has discovered X-ray surges accompanying radio bursts from the pulsar in the Crab Nebula. The finding shows that these bursts, called giant radio pulses, release far more energy than previously suspected.
    • More than 5,000 tons of extraterrestrial dust fall to Earth each year April 8, 2021
      Every year, our planet encounters dust from comets and asteroids. These interplanetary dust particles pass through our atmosphere and give rise to shooting stars. Some of them reach the ground in the form of micrometeorites. An international program conducted for nearly 20 has determined that 5,200 tons per year of these micrometeorites reach the ground.
    • Mars didn't dry up in one go April 8, 2021
      A research team has discovered that the Martian climate alternated between dry and wetter periods, before drying up completely about 3 billion years ago.
    • Corals carefully organize proteins to form rock-hard skeletons April 8, 2021
      Scientists have shown that coral structures consist of a biomineral containing a highly organized organic mix of proteins that resembles what is in our bones. Their study shows that several proteins are organized spatially -- a process that's critical to forming a rock-hard coral skeleton.
    • Why our brains miss opportunities to improve through subtraction April 7, 2021
      A new study explains why people rarely look at a situation, object or idea that needs improving -- in all kinds of contexts -- and think to remove something as a solution. Instead, we almost always add some element, whether it helps or not.
    • Neanderthal ancestry identifies oldest modern human genome April 7, 2021
      The fossil skull of a woman in Czechia has provided the oldest modern human genome yet reconstructed, representing a population that formed before the ancestors of present-day Europeans and Asians split apart.
    • From stardust to pale blue dot: Carbon's interstellar journey to Earth April 2, 2021
      We are made of stardust, the saying goes, and a pair of studies finds that may be more true than we previously thought.
    • Evidence of Antarctic glacier's tipping point confirmed April 2, 2021
      Researchers have confirmed for the first time that Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica could cross tipping points, leading to a rapid and irreversible retreat which would have significant consequences for global sea level.
    • A new state of light April 1, 2021
      A single 'super photon' made up of many thousands of individual light particles: About ten years ago, researchers produced such an extreme aggregate state for the first time. Researchers report a new, previously unknown phase transition in the optical Bose-Einstein condensate. This is a overdamped phase.
    • Mice with hallucination-like behaviors reveal insight into psychotic illness April 1, 2021
      A computer game that induces mice to experience hallucination-like events could be a key to understanding the neurobiological roots of psychosis, according to a new study.
    • How brain cells repair their DNA reveals 'hot spots' of aging and disease April 1, 2021
      Neurons lack the ability to replicate their DNA, so they're constantly working to repair damage to their genome. A new study finds that these repairs are not random, but instead focus on protecting certain genetic 'hot spots' that appear to play a critical role in neural identity and function.

      A study has both good news and bad news for the future of African elephants. While about 18 million square kilometers of Africa -- an area bigger than the whole of Russia -- still has suitable habitat for elephants, the actual range of African elephants has shrunk to just 17 percent of what it could be due to human pressure and the killing of elephants for i […]

    • Sugar not so nice for your child's brain development, study suggests March 31, 2021
      New research has shown in a rodent model that daily consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages during adolescence impairs performance on a learning and memory task during adulthood. The group further showed that changes in the bacteria in the gut may be the key to the sugar-induced memory impairment.

      Researchers find that the earliest bacteria had the tools to perform a crucial step in photosynthesis, changing how we think life evolved on Earth.
    • How humans develop larger brains than other apes March 24, 2021
      A new study is the first to identify how human brains grow much larger, with three times as many neurons, compared with chimpanzee and gorilla brains. The study identified a key molecular switch that can make ape brain organoids grow more like human organoids, and vice versa.

      Earth scientists have discovered possibly the oldest cephalopods in Earth's history. The 522 million-year-old fossils from Newfoundland (Canada) could turn out to be the first known form of these highly evolved invertebrate organisms. In that case, the find would indicate that the cephalopods evolved about 30 million years earlier than has been assumed. […]
