The New Era of Space Stations

Martin K. Ettington

We are at an exciting threshold for the development and deployment of private space stations and more advanced designs from various countries. This trend shows how quickly space technologies are developing.The advancements in cheaper rockets to carry more payloads into Earth’s orbit in a less costly manner is another trend which is supporting the development of these new space stations and space transportation options.The last few years a lot of companies and governments are making plans to develop and deploy a variety of space stations and moon bases. This seems like to good time to update everyone with what are these latest plans, space technologies, transportation options and more.I’ve tried to include all I could find on new space technologies and plans relevant to working and living in space.I wrote a book on Space in 2017 titled “Designing and Building Space Colonies” along with another ten space related books later on. So this is one of my favorite genres.

No Way Down - Life and Death on K2

Graham Bowley

"No Way Down is both a gripping read and a clear-eyed investigation of the hubris, politics, and bad luck that brought on one of the worst disasters in modern mountaineering history." —Michael Kodas, author of High Crimes: The Fate of Everest in an Age of Greed 
 
 
 
"Graham Bowley's No Way Down does a great job of putting you on the mountain. It is a refreshingly unadorned account of the true brutality of climbing K2, where heroes emerge and egos are stripped down, and the only thing achieving immortality is the cold ruthless mountain." —Norman Ollestad, author of Crazy for the Storm 
 
 
 
In the tradition of Into Thin Air and Touching the Void, No Way Down by New York Times reporter Graham Bowley is the harrowing account of the worst mountain climbing disaster on K2, second to Everest in height . . . but second to no peak in terms of danger. From tragic deaths to unbelievable stories of heroism and survival, No Way Down is an amazing feat of storytelling and adventure writing, and, in the words of explorer and author Sir Ranulph Fiennes, "the closest you can come to being on the summit of K2 on that fateful day."

The Physics of Everyday Things -...

Mark Hedges

Motion is a fundamental aspect of the physical world, affecting everything we do and experience. From walking down the street to driving a car, the principles of motion are always at work. In physics, understanding the forces that cause and influence motion is essential to understanding how objects behave in the world around us. This chapter will explore Newton's laws of motion and the application of forces in our daily lives, helping to make sense of the movements and actions that shape our experiences.
At the heart of motion is Newton's First Law, also known as the Law of Inertia. This law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. Essentially, things like to keep doing what they’re doing. For instance, a car coasting down the highway will continue moving unless the brakes are applied, or friction slows it down. This simple concept explains why, when you're in a car that suddenly stops, you feel as if you're still moving forward—your body wants to keep going, even though the car has halted. The application of this principle is not limited to vehicles but can be observed in everyday activities, like pushing a shopping cart or standing still on a bus that starts to move.
Newton's Second Law, the Law of Acceleration, takes it further. It tells us that the force applied to an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration (F = ma). This means that heavier objects require more force to accelerate, while lighter objects can be moved more easily. When you push a sled across the snow, the amount of effort you need depends on how much the sled weighs and how fast you want it to move. This relationship helps explain why it’s harder to get a heavy truck moving than a small bicycle. Understanding this law helps us calculate everything from how much effort it takes to lift an object to how quickly a rocket can launch into space.

Nowhere Left to Go - How Climate...

Benjamin von Brackel

Harrowing journeys of animals and plants—fleeing skyrocketing temperatures—reported from the frontlines of the greatest migration of species since the Ice Age. 
 
 
 
As humans accelerate global warming while laying waste to the environment, animals and plants must flee to the margins: on scattered nature reserves, between major highways, or among urban sprawl. And when even these places become too hot and inhospitable, wildlife is left with only one path to survival: an often-formidable journey toward the poles as they race to find a new home in a warming world. Tropical zones lose their inhabitants, beavers settle in Alaska, and gigantic shoals of fish disappear—just to reappear along foreign coastlines. 
 
 
 
Award-winning environmental journalist Benjamin von Brackel traces these awe-inspiring journeys and celebrates the remarkable resilience of species around the world. But the lengths these plants and animals must go to avoid extinction are as alarming as they are inspirational: Sea animals—like fish—move on average forty-five miles a decade to cooler regions, while land animals—like beavers and butterflies—move eleven miles. As even the poles of the Earth heat up, we're left with a stark and irreversible choice: Halt the climate emergency now, or face a massive die-off of species, who are increasingly left with nowhere else to go.

The Importance of Being Educable...

Leslie Valiant

If we hope to share our planet successfully with one another and the AI systems we are creating, we must reflect on who we are, how we got here, and where we are heading. The Importance of Being Educable puts forward a provocative new exploration of the extraordinary facility of humans to absorb and apply knowledge. The remarkable "educability" of the human brain can be understood as an information processing ability. It sets our species apart, enables the civilization we have, and gives us the power and potential to set our planet on a steady course. While we can readily absorb systems of thought about worlds of experience beyond our own, we struggle to judge correctly what information we should trust. 
 
 
 
In this visionary book, Leslie Valiant argues that understanding the nature of our own educability is crucial to safeguarding our future. After breaking down how we process information to learn and apply knowledge, and drawing comparisons with other animals and AI systems, he explains why education should be humankind's central preoccupation. 
 
 
 
Will the unique capability that has been so foundational to our achievements and civilization continue to drive our progress, or will we fall victim to our vulnerabilities? If we want to protect our collective future, we must better understand and prioritize the importance of being educable.
