It's been my baseline test for 2 years now. GPT (free & paying versions I access through work) most definitely gets it consistently very wrong. Gemini does direct spelling better but is all over the place with word classification by spelling. Pretty LOW bars to clear.

The U.S. leads with 3,960 data centers, the largest footprint in the dataset.
That’s more data centers than the next 14 countries combined.
Europe clusters heavily (UK, Germany, France lead), while Asia’s footprint is growing (China, India, Japan).

Hablaba a nivel global o en EEUU, claro. Por regulación menos "salvaje Oeste" e intereses varios, España/EU no son el foco primario de los hiperescaladores, afortunadamente. En 2024 había 350MW totales (IA+otros). Para 2030 hay más de 2.5GW planeados (8x, ó 10% de la demanda eléctrica TOTAL de hoy)

Demanda eléctrica total del 11/9/2026 extraída de la página de Red eléctrica española: media de unos 30 GW, con mínimo de 23 GW de madrugada. Si hubiera >2.5GW de potencia para centros de datos (mayoritariamente IA) de aquí a 3 ó 4 años, supondría aumentar la demanda actual nacional de casi el 10% sólo para ese propósito. España es un país donde la demanda proyectada es menos extrema respecto a otros lugares a nivel global.

¡Se vislumbra una esperanza! Gracias por las respuestas. Contexto: estaré apostado en la zona costera por Cudillero, pero me conozco "la nubecita estiva cantábrica", máxime de tarde. En el vuelo de ayer hice mis observaciones topográficas de qué sobresale para el plan B, asumiendo nubes parecidas 😇

Montes y picos de la Cordillera cantábrica que sobresalen la mañana del 7 de agosto de 2026 sobre los nubes de estratos bajos que suelen aparecer en la franja Norte de la Península en muchos días soleados de verano. Una solución para asegurarse de ver el eclipse desde Asturias el día 12 sería subir a uno de ellos, si la estructura nubosa es estable de un día para otro.

Hahahhahahaahah But that's bitter laughter. This admission, especially coming from the biggest SpaceX/Musk mark, means the future of HSF is hanging by a thread. At least it comes before any irreversible decisions have yet been taken - now if only the mass delusion in spaceflight crumbled at last.

Berger admitting ("Yes") that Starship will likely never be fully crew-rated or crew-capable in the foreseeable future, despite everything in the current spaceflight environment and general US administration favoring Musk and his companies.

Question from "Owen Lewis": "Could humans launch on Starship? Eventually, but this seems unlikely before the mid-2030s, and docking the large Starships to smaller space stations would be challenging" (quoting Berger's article). Second part makes sense. Do you really think it will take another decade for humans to fly on Starship?"
Answer from Berger: "Yes".

Kessler syndrome is already in effect, like many were pointing out while being dismissed as alarmists. For now, its doubling constant is quite low, although several catastrophic collisions are expected within the next few decades. Business-as-usual implies >100 within next 50y: full-blown Kessler.

Graph of cumulative catastrophic collisions in orbit vs time, from 2025 until 2225. Assuming no further launches would bring the cumulative catastrophic collision number to around 70 two hundred years from now. A more realistic extrapolation leads to almost 800 in that timeframe, with 100 catastrophic collisions reached within the next 50 years.

Better still: "Do you know how I'll make them reappear multiplied by a bazillion, on the other hand?" *farts in the general direction of "enterprise AI"* "TADAAAAA" Space is irrelevant in His vision.

Addressable market value according to SpaceX's IPO S1 filing. Space-enabled solutions are barely 1.5% of the market, with Starlink (broadband and mobile) covering up 6% more, being generous. So under 8% of the market they base their valuation on is addressable by anything they're doing now, or have been doing before. The rest is "AI", mostly dominated at 80% by "Enterprise Applications".

Probably refers to contextual photometry, which requires a large, nuanced dataset with lots of human interpretation bundled in. Much easier to acquire in situ with continuous observation, than perusing through discrete orbiter datasets. Also, some eyeball Mk.I advantages vs electronic instruments.

Excerpt of "Artemis II Lunar Science Passport" document's slide 4 (Artemis II Science Big Picture) focusing on what could "take LRO years to accomplish": photometric observations of the lunar regolith, by providing detail and context that complements LRO's imagery

Full slide of Artemis II-enabled focused research, showing other areas where human sight and continuous observations can be superior or complement robotic datasets: ability to see subtle color variations, and how that contributes to science, as well as subtle 3-D features from a perspective not achievable by remote-sensing satellites. Lofted dust is also mentioned, whose observation could not be reproduced with uncrewed spacecraft operated after the crewed Apollo missions.

Well: There's been an awful lot of propaganda on this issue, which is the only one anyone could cling to after Artemis I's success. Camarda himself doesn't think it's unsafe... and he has published tweets where it's clear his opposition is driven more by his dislike of SLS than by the heat shield.

How strange nobody needs to worry about saving money but accumulating trillions is quite advisable for him. Ah, it's for Mars, I forgot...

Tweet from Musk (Dec 17th, 2025) states "there will be no poverty in the future and so no need to save money. There will be universal high income", referring to a recent donation to savings funds.

"Helping to pay for this [a futuristic Battlestar Galactica-like vision for Mars] is why I'm accumulating assets on Earth" - Musk tweet from January 17th, 2020.

So the H-10-3 spage, the darker section on the top of this bad boy, the last (of three) A40 launching Helios 1B + Clémentine... The HM-7B engine appears to be somewhat canted to the right in the pics? Maybe expected after passivation?

Better pictures from JonNYC. Impact markings do seem pretty unique compared to, say, a bird strike or other "common" aircraft impacts. Also, it was at 10 km altitude, so should be man-made or of cosmic origin. I guess it could have been a drone, balloon or other Earth-bound object though...

19 - NGGM will fly two satellites in a "Bender constellation" to GRACE-C's pair, for at least 5 years, in a low (<400 km) Earth orbit - while controlling their orbit and counteracting ambient perturbations with a drag-free control system (linked to LISA’s developments, another project I work on).

MAGIC constellation in a Bender configuration, with the first pair (S1-S2 = GRACE-C) in a polar orbit at a relatively higher altitude of 500 km and the second (S3-S4, NGGM) in an inclined orbit at lower altitude.

14 - A single satellite with accelerometers and ground tracking is enough to measure the static gravity field. But if you want to increase resolution and measure variations, you need something else: track the distance variations between two satellites separated by some hundred kilometers.

Satellite-to-satellite tracking concept, with two separate satellites overflying distinct regions of the Earth with different mass concentrations, and sensing different gravitational (and non-gravitational) forces affecting the distance between them.

4 - Mountains, basins, massifs… anything that has (large amounts of) mass. Water’s heavy – that’ll certainly pop up in the measurement. The more sensitive your gravitational instrument, the smaller features you can resolve. Geodetic instruments on the ground are in use since the mid 1800s.

3 - So if you’re a meter away from a large amount of mass, you will feel a stronger attraction towards it than to twice the amount of mass at two meters (2M/4 < M/1). We can FEEL mountains with this simple truth guys.

2 - Newton knew over 400 years ago that gravitational attraction is proportional to the mass that generates it. More mass, more acceleration. You weigh less on the Moon because it’s less massive than Earth. The farther you are from the mass, the less you feel it – with an inverse square dependence.
