Now *that* is a photoblog. Chronologically indexed gallery of
interplanetary snapshots from this weekend's Mars landing. The first
images sent back are of limited quality -- and only in black and white
-- because data transmission rate from Spirit's antenna back to Earth
is limited. Higher-res color images are expected to be relayed back
from the orbiting Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey Spacecraft
later today, according to Mission Control. At left:
"This mosaic image taken by the navigation camera on the Mars
Exploration Rover Spirit has been further processed, resulting in a
significantly improved 360 degree panoramic view of the rover on the
surface of Mars."

Tiny Projectors: Hologram and Lasers,
Not Smoke and Mirrors
06/30/2004 12:37 PM
Researchers from Cambridge and Light Blue Optics,
Ltd. have developed a prototype pocket-sized, battery-powered video
projector -- or at least the technology that should, in the mythical
two to five years, lead to one. The trick is a total lack of lenses or
light bulbs, but instead to display a two-dimensional hologram on a
microdisplay then shine a laser through it, which scatters the light
into a larger, projected picture. Projectors are great -- I'm about to
pick up a cheap one, myself. If they could slip these into cellphones
or PDAs, there would be no need for roll-up screens or dorky
mirrorshade HUDs at all. All you'd need is a clean wall and a total
blotting out of the star we call our sun.

Self-replicating Von Neumann Probes
Self-replicating Von Neumann Probes
04/26/2004 05:26 PMUniverse Today has posted an
interview
with Dr.
Michio Kaku in which he talks about the types of civilizations that
might
exist in the Universe and rates them as Type I, II, or III (Earth
almost
qualifies as Type I but is not advanced enough
yet; Star Trek's Federation rates as Type II and the Borg as Type
III).
He also talks a bit about Von Neumann
probes; self-replicating, autonomous robots that would be the most
practical way to explore intersteller
space. The probes would "live off
the land", finding planets with raw materials, setting up robot
factories, and sending out more probes as they progressed. The
virus-like replication would allow the entire galaxy to be explored in
as little as 100,000 years.
