Looking ahead to the weekend, we’ll see a slight warm-up with temperatures in the 40s and 50s through Sunday. Warm air close to 60 degrees may be in our future by the middle of next week.

The Iceland Deep Drilling Project, or IDDP, is a consortium of the Icelandic National Energy Authority and three Icelandic energy companies. Its primary goal is to generate energy using underground reservoirs of "supercritical" water, which is so hot and pressurized that it is neither exactly liquid nor steam. But in addition to its energy goals, the IDDP’s agenda also includes research and information sharing, with academic collaborators and funding from scientific agencies such as the U.S. National Science Foundation. So unlike previous magma encounters, the IDDP’s experience was reported in detail to the scientific community. "The nice thing about the IDDP is that the energy companies seem to be perfectly happy with us doing science, because they can see that this science advances their interests too," said Wilfred Elders, co-chief scientist of the IDDP, who is based in Riverside, California and is not part of the Krafla Magma Testbed team.

In July 1967, members of the Nolde family – Henry (from left), George, Carl and Arthur – watched bread roll off the assembly line at the Nolde Bros. Bakery in Church Hill in Richmond. Their relatives started a small baking operation in the 1890s, and by 1950, three area Nolde plants produced almost a million loaves per week to be sold nationally. Nolde closed in 1977.

I totally get where Saru is coming from. Saru and the bridge crew were all inspired by Pike’s speech in the last episode about not leaving anyone behind. And Saru specifically has a unique perspective about all this since he had to leave his old life behind, and also was the beneficiary of the fudging of the PD himself (as we learned in his Short Treks episode).

Most (80%) of the Oxygen we breathe, comes from those ocean plants. Mostly, GREEN phytoplankton. IF 60% have died off, then we’d have (0.6•0.8)=0.48 about 48% reduction in our Oxygen supply. Don’t you think, we would have noticed that, by now?

Several high-profile deaths have ignited concern about the rising rates of suicide. It’s important to know the warning signs, health officials say

Sugar Land, Texas, a group of young Muslim-American men ponder the disappearance of their friend “Mark,” who is suspected of joining ISIS.

Look at the heat content of the oceans – considerable planetary warming!! Again, both the surface warming and the ocean heat content increasehttps://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/16753294fd6627f0cf5f6ac6fe52e0049495406a7e70edfb7cbc8ed120f912b9.pngAnd careful how you try to twist Ramanathan Remember, he has been a leading researcher on climate change, particularly the role of the CFCs and related compounds in increasing the greenhouse effect, and a major author and editor in several of the IPCC reports If you want to see a recent basic lecture of his where he clearly says AGW is real and some of his personal history in the field:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUT0P6PxTWs

He said ‘is 20 years old’ not ‘more than.’ That’s Harve Bennett not paying attention to the fact the ship is closer to 40, or wanting it to tie into to viewer memory of TOS first broadcast. Dumb either way, but for a guy writing a movie where the heroes beam down to a dying planet instead of to a neighboring, almost empty spaceship, smarts are not often being deployed.

I agree Denny C. I have said in the past they were all put in a tight spot. The entire show was Fuller’s idea. I mean Kurtzman ‘created’ it too but its clear Fuller came up with everything, Kurtzman just went along with it. But yes I would’ve liked to see his original anthology idea. It sounded ambitious to go from Discovery to probably a hundred years past Voyager but probably was turned down due to the costs.

Back in 2005, an earlier Hayabusa mission showed how difficult it was to grab significant quantities of rock from an asteroid. Two attempts to sample Ryugu were not triggered properly, though a small amount of dust was collected in a canister. One and a half thousand grains were later returned to Earth, but ideally an asteroid-sampler could gather up a lot more than that – and go deeper than just the surface rock.
