^^ Gotta love some science humour.

Not quite a technology advancement, but it probably doesn't deserve its own thread. An interesting read on the ENSO processes (El Nino/La Nina) over the past two years and explanations of how both climatic states occur.

Thankfully no cats were harmed in the making of this mission...

Was literally in the process of typing that up McDeth. I watched the live stream, and it was pretty awesome.

I remember my Geology lecturer telling us last sem that the next manned mission into space/moon will have a doctor, a physicist and a geologist amongst the crew

McDethWivFries · 6th August 2012, 03:35 PM

yeah ditto, would love to have seen the actual thing happen in real time rather than just a straight commentary. Still very cool none the less.

Hopefully this one is as successful as the other one, it's been floating around for the last 8 years or so now hasn't it...

3D PRINTED AR15 LOWER

Thought about this myself for a long time, and now someone has at least tried it, firing app. 200 22's.
Later 223, but who knows how many, and for how much longer it will survive....

Definitely nothing sustained or considered heavy use... Fractures are imminent!!
I wonder how long it will take to be controlled in some way....

edit
Another dude actually firing 223

Yep, read about 3D printing Titanium bikes in this months MTBA. So far they've only done some Titanium drop outs, but they're predicting the price of titanium printing will drop drastically in the next few years.
There's some talk of it not being as strong as traditional methods though, but I guess they'll figure that to.

Space Elevators anyone?

nice for $200, but look at these ones, if you got the cash. the videos would cost a lot more if not imposable to do any other way.
