By land mass, Canada is the second largest country on Earth. Yet much like Earth's largest country, Russia, humans populate a very small amount of its land. This leaves large tracts of resources untapped and wilderness unvisited. However, snow and ice make vast swathes of this land inaccessible for all but a few summer months, and large sea ice prevents the same for ships much of the time. And though increasing global temperatures will eventually (if global climate change isn’t halted) reduce sea ice and the potential severity of winter, there's another alternative if humans want to traverse interior Canada before that happens: actual freakin’ airships.
The supermassive black hole is 40 million times as massive as the sun and powers a quasar that existed 700 million years after the Big Bang.
Vision Pro is here and it’s a surprisingly capable device. Apple has also loaded the headset with a ton of options and features that aren’t obvious at first glance.
Engineers expect to lose contact with the private US moon lander Odysseus on Tuesday, cutting short the mission after its sideways touchdown last week.
This would be awesome. I've actually been to the northern provinces a few times. Yellowknife and Whitehorse to be more specific. Its isolated up there and during the winter you can imagine air travel is difficult sometimes impossible. This is a real option that could serve to keep these far off communities linked and could make for some impressive aerial nature tours too.
I can see where that would help, but people have been talking about the return of airships for 25 years. It's not going to happen. That said the refining the technologies involved can only benefit other things.
