Spacecraft orbiting our Moon need to stay in orbit, but orbits around the Moon are extremely unstable.
An orbiting space station, that can stay in orbit around the Moon, will provide a place for astronauts to prepare for trips down to the lunar surface.
The size of a microwave oven and weighing just fifty-five pounds, this remarkable craft is the first CubeSat to operate at the Moon.

Rectilinear ovals!! Wow, were behind time, then ahead of time, but right on time for the laughs in all the nooks and crannies. Hey, come laugh with or at us, tune in to our live show every Monday night at 8pm eastern at http://www.chiampa.org DWOTS: previous word: still born - today’s word: rectilinear
Aaanndd we're back! With so much to do and only so many hours in a day, we took a brief hiatus from recording to allow for some other cool things to take shape, one of those being the forthcoming album from the Gawd MC Mak himself! In this episode we jump straight to the chase and meander from topic to topic as is our specialty. From Google seemingly providing a proof-of-work for their killswitch, bomb scares, Asian dominance of cellphone tech, to Trump and Ye's SNL worthy sitdown and rectilinear Allspark-esque icebergs being uncovered, its a good one. As always, thanks for listening! ***SHOWNOTES BELOW*** 3:22 Google's Killswitch https://fstoppers.com/education/youtube-outage-shows-dangers-putting-all-your-eggs-one-basket-297457 6:49 Chinese chips in tech, Samsung's S10 sensors https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s10-plus-879600/ 9:46 Lottery ran up crazy https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s10-plus-879600/ 11:06 Bombs and other hysteria https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45983580 17:52 Netflix Canceling Shit https://netflixlife.com/2018/11/01/netflix-new-releases-angelas-christmas-30-movies-shows/ 20:12 Disney's Inclusivity Initiative & The Art of Not Giving A Fuck https://variety.com/2018/film/news/michael-b-jordan-inclusion-rider-1202721271/ 26:22 Khashoggi https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-46067959 29:56 The Rectilinear Iceberg https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/659799976/whats-going-on-with-that-bizarre-rectangular-iceberg 36:34 Trump and Kanye Have a Sitdown https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-dines-with-kanye-west-at-the-white-house-live-updates/ 40:24 Letting Experience Inform Knowledge and Healthy Skeptism 47:12 The Significange of 2.4Ghz and 60-95+ Ghz http://www1.lsbu.ac.uk/water/water_vibrational_spectrum.html https://resonance.is/scientists-show-that-water-has-memory/
Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast Our guest for this episode is the carpenter, architect, and builder Kelly Hart. He joins me today to talk about Earthbag Construction, the subject of his recently published book Essential Earthbag Construction from New Society Publishers. In this interview, Kelly walks us through many of the steps required for building with earthbags, including the practical needs of what bags to use, what you can fill the bags with for thermal mass or insulation, some of the tools and equipment you'll need, establishing a foundation, laying the courses, tying each layer together, and also how to secure your doors and windows.After you've listened to this interview, you'll have a basic understanding of how to use earthbags for construction. With a copy of Kelly's book you can learn the rest. Find out more about Kelly and his work, including his DVD A Sampler of Alternative Homes, at naturalbuildingblog.com, and his book at NewSociety.com. I like this interview because Kelly invites us to try our hand at building with earthbags. I find that invitation in, to try, to make mistakes, and to learn, incredibly powerful and empowering. We can start with simple structures, like an above-ground root cellar or domed storage shed, to get comfortable with the necessary techniques before proceeding to something more complicated. With the way earthbags go together we can stack, pull down, and try again, with our first structure serving as an in-depth learning experience. This is also an inexpensive technique, making it affordable and accessible in ways other methods, where mistakes can be costly, are not. Looking at the cost of supplies and some sample projects, 1,000 of the polypropylene bags that Kelly mentioned, are less than $400. Another $80 for a 440-yard roll of 4-point barbed wire. From there you'll need rebar, lumber, windows, doors, and your tools, but over and over again I found many owner-built earthbag homes, all over the world, for under $10,000, in all shapes and sizes. Multi-story. Rectilinear. Rounded. Any combination you can imagine. As a lover of cob and the feel of Earthships, there is something about the earthbag as a base that appeals to me. Its natural building meets LEGO. Earth risen into walls and offering us security, in a structure we can build with our own hands. I can think of few things more comfortable than that. What do you think of this conversation? Has this changed your thoughts on building with earthbags? Is this a method you've used? Let me know. Leave a comment in the show notes, or get in touch. From here the next regular episode is a conversation with Ben Goldfarb to talk about his book Eager and the role of one of the world's greatest ecosystem engineers, the beaver. Until then, spend each day creating the world, and homes, you want to live in, while taking care of Earth, yourself, and each other.

This podcast discusses talks, papers, and ideas presented at the recent International Conference on Learning Representations 2015 which was followed by the Artificial Intelligence in Statistics 2015 Conference in San Diego. Specifically, commonly used techniques shared by many successful deep learning algorithms such as: rectilinear units, convolutional filters, and max-pooling are discussed.
