Ledivin, in Announcement to non-StarTrek.website users: on July 10th, c/Quarks will change to "locals only". Thanks to the Lemmy devs for this new feature!

…and the fractured drawbacks of lemmy slowly become apparent. I see this happening more and more, and don’t expect lemmy to survive if it continues.

YOU KILLED LEMMY

YOU BASTARDS

Morgoon, in StarTrek.Website has upgraded to Lemmy v0.19.5!

May we continue to live long and prosper

Iceberg dead ahead!

aeronmelon, in NASA's Voyager Has Made a Full Recovery After Glitch Nearly Ended the Historic Mission

They rolled a 20 for foresight when they called the ship lost in the Delta Quadrant “Voyager.”

No matter how far from home, Voyagers know how to get back to Earth somehow.

StillPaisleyCat, in ‘Pink Moon’: Blu Del Barrio Joins Cast Of Carol Brandt’s Queer Heist Drama

Great to see Discovery cast getting picked up for principal/star roles in new projects.

Yeah, I thought this one was particularly notable since they were a relative unknown prior to Discovery.

While I’m still burning that SNW introduced the first main cast person with disability and killed them off just to lean on the crutch of development-by-death-of-mentor for Uhura, I’m super happy that Bruce Horak is now being regularly cast in guest star and recurring television roles in Canada.

It’s a long way from a Star Trek stint being a career-limiting choice as it was viewed in the past.

cynar, in New warp drive concept does twist space, doesn’t move us very fast

I strongly suspect all solutions will either be invalid, or be limited to the speed of light.

The universe seems to have a lot of weird quirks (the speed of light being 1) what they have in common is that they make time paradoxes impossible. This points to some deeper physics causing these disparate effects. Anything travelling faster than C can be configured as a time machine, and so create paradoxes.

MamboGator, in Jess Bush: Koons on the Moon? Artists’ crucial role in shaping humanity’s image on Earth and beyond

I love it when actors have a real passion for the subject matter they’re portraying. Tom Hanks was another one. After Apollo 13 and Saving Private Ryan he produced From the Earth to the Moon and Band of Brothers to expand on the subject matter.

ptz, (edited ) in "Shields up!" An interesting look at real-life active-shielding technologies for spacecraft.

I always wondered why spacecraft couldn’t be wrapped in magnetic coils (with the pressurized volume like the center of a solenoid) to duplicate the effects of Earth’s magnetic field. Looks like it is possible but was not practical until recently.

Good read!

FishLake, in A new study suggests that the amount of oxygen on Europa is on the lower end of previous estimates. The moon may be uninhabitable.

Typo in title. ‘Inhabitable’ means it’s suitable for life, which is not what the study says. You meant to say ‘uninhabitable’.

SevenOfWine,

Article:

“It’s on the lower end of what we would expect,” said Jamey Szalay, a plasma physicist at Princeton University who led the study. But “it’s not totally prohibitive” for habitability, he added. … “We don’t really know how much oxygen you need to make life,” she said. “So the fact that it’s lower than some earlier, wishful-thinking estimates is not such a problem.”

Who knew inflammable meant flammable! (thanks, I fixed the title)

StillPaisleyCat, in Is anyone using old.startrek.website?
@StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website avatar

Not sure what you mean by this actually. . .

old.startrek.website

It’s startrek.website but looks like the “old Reddit” UI

Also, it’s working again.

@OpenStars@startrek.website avatar

Fwiw:

Stewart, who spent 16 years at the show, the majority of them Emmy-winning, will be heavily involved as an executive producer on the other nights as well.

But yeah we’ll see - they are offering him a ton of work that just isn’t worth it, but if he is willing…

I doubt the “what if x on weed” guy has much to contribute in the way of material rather than star power but maybe idk

ChicoSuave, in David Lynch’s Dune Is Returning to Theaters for two days in February for the 40th Anniversary of it's original release

If it’s the TV edit, it will be nearly 3 hours log and have a dreadful illustrated still art at the beging talking about the Butlerian Jihad for 20 minutes. It’s awful and got the Alan Smithee treatment by the director (for very good reason). The TV edit is a hard watch.

The theatrical release is awesome and 2 and a half hours long. Princess Irulan opens with a bizarre monologue that fades her in and out. The movie is underrated because it’s clearly 2 movies crammed into 1 (entirely the fault of Dino De Laurentis) but it’s worth watching. The music, the acting, the wonky ass special effects - it’s all mesmerizing even if it isn’t consistently good. But at times it’s fucking awesome and worth the watch.

Here’s hoping we get the original theatrical cut!
