#Outerspace
Thousands of rockets have launched into space over the last several decades. But what would it take to build an elevator that goes from Earth to space? Thousands of meters of cable, for starters. @sciencefocus has more on this impossible-sounding idea that more people have been giving serious thought over the years.

“Who Owns Outer Space?”
CBC’s Ideas broadcast astrophysicist and co-director of the Outer Space Institute Aaron Boley’s delivery of the 2024 Dan MacLennan Memorial Lecture in Astronomy
I definitely recommend a listen or a read:

One of my childhood books shows the obvious influence of my then-favorite TV show. #childhood #childhoodcreativity #lostinspace #outerspace #vintagetelevision #tv #scifi #junelockhart #billymumy #b9
If we deflect 1.8% of incident #solar 
radiation before it hits our planet 
, we could fully reverse 
today's global warming https://senseable.mit.edu/space-bubbles/
Fabricating and deploying a raft of silicon bubbles roughly the size of Brazil into #OuterSpace 
to reverse global warming by deflecting solar radiation before it hits our planet. As an emergency intervention should current efforts to reduce 
#emissions 
fail.https://news.mit.edu/2022/designing-cities-tomorrow-carlo-ratti-1025
#Computer errors 
from #OuterSpace from a vote-counting machine that added thousands of non-existent votes to a candidate's tally, to a commercial #airliner 
that suddenly dropped hundreds of feet mid-flight 
, injuring dozens of passengers. A pacemaker's 
built-in computer data got corrupted mid-flight. A group of researchers investigated more than 2,000 bit errors logged by a #satellite 
over roughly two years in #orbit. A huge number of the errors were clustered in an area called the South Atlantic Anomaly. According to #Nasa, #astronauts 
on the #SpaceShuttle used to notice that their #laptops 
sometimes crashed when the space shuttle passed through the #SAA https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20221011-how-space-weather-causes-computer-errors
