Moravec’s Paradox

3 minute read (551 words)

Over lunch, I watched Chelsea Finn discuss Moravec’s Paradox with people across age and skills groups from kids to expert researchers. It is the idea that hu...

Inflatable Things

less than 1 minute read (79 words)

I have previously written about inflatable tubes as a means to realise a von Braun wheel. The idea of using inflatabes isn’t particularly new, but Saul Griff...

ISS Rendezvous (and some) Docking

1 minute read (208 words)

I started thinking about how docking might work with an inflatable station such as the Goodyear one that I discussed here. I have been trying to think about ...

One of the best ISS videos I have seen.
