Dr. Olson is associate professor of anthropology at the University of California, Irvine. Olson's "Into the Extreme" is the first book-length, in-depth ethnography of U.S. human spaceflight, and explores the questions of "how systems are socioculturally configured as situated things." Further more: "How do disparate things become technically associated as "systems"—and to what ends?

5 NASA Spacecraft That Are Leaving Our Solar System for Good | Astronomy.com
Half a century ago, NASA built its two identical Voyager spacecraft to capitalize on a rare alignment of the outermost planets that only happens once every 175 years. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were perfectly placed, allowing scientists to chart a course that would send the spacecraft by each of these gas giants. That path also meant that, after they’d completed their tour of our solar system, both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 would continue into interstellar space.
'Save Yourselves!' review: Millennials vs. aliens in a wry social comedy - Chicago Sun-Times
Can a highly enlightened Brooklyn couple survive the alien invasion with a gun but (yikes) no phones?
You gotta love Jack (John Reynolds) and Su (Sunita Mani). They're just the nicest, sweetest, most caring and considerate couple you'd ever want to meet, as is established in the early going of Eleanor Wilson's and Alex Huston Fischer's pinpoint funny social comedy "Save Yourselves!", a wry commentary about how some — note I said SOME — millennials might be the least prepared adults in history to cope with an alien invasion. (That's right. More on that to come.)
There might be even more underground reservoirs of liquid water on Mars | MIT Technology Review
Four underground reservoirs of water may be sitting below the south pole of Mars. The new findings, published today in Nature Astronomy , suggest Mars is home to even more deposits of liquid water than once thought.
The background: In 2018, a group of Italian researchers used radar observations made by the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter to detect a lake of liquid water sitting 1.5 kilometers below the surface of Mars. The lake, which was about 20 kilometers long, was found near the south pole, at the base of an area of thick glacial ice called the South Polar Layered Deposits.

October "Centerfield Cinema" lineup released
MISSOULA — For parents seeking some family fun, and perhaps a little nostalgia, the lineup for "Centerfield Cinema" might be a home run .
The Missoula Paddleheads and the Roxy Theater have released the names of the movies which will be shown each Thursday night in October at Ogren Park.
ET, the extraterrestrial will be followed on Oct. 8 by Footloose. Who you gonna call October 15? "Ghostbusters" of course. "Beetlejuice" comes to the plate Oct. 22. And on October 29, the perfect warm-up for Halloween -- Scream.
Sediment Discovered in Texas Cave Upends Meteorite Explanation for Global Cooling

Texas researchers from the University of Houston, Baylor University and Texas A&M University have discovered evidence for why the earth cooled dramatically 13,000 years ago, dropping temperatures by about 3 degrees Centigrade.
The evidence is buried in a Central Texas cave, where horizons of sediment have preserved unique geochemical signatures from ancient volcanic eruptions — signatures previously mistaken for extraterrestrial impacts, researchers say.
A new restaurant Spaced Out Pizza has opened on Whitney Road in Spartanburg
Opening a restaurant during the middle of the coronavirus pandemic can be risky, but the owners of Spaced Out Pizzeria are up for the challenge.
Co-owners Aaron Ringel and Gary Garner opened their pizzeria on Sept. 10 at 351 Whitney Road in a building formerly occupied by Quincy's Restaurant.
Before the opening, employees were trained on how to keep all areas clean and sanitized. They also wear masks and masks are provided for customers if needed.
Special Topic: Carbonaceous Chondrites - RocketSTEM
I n an earlier " Special Topics " presentation I described how meteorites are classified based upon their respective compositions.
These meteorites constitute roughly 4% to 5% of all known meteorites. There are some compositional differences between them and thus there are as many as eight or nine sub-classifications of them, but they all share the same basic qualities of being rather porous and containing significant amounts of water and organic substances. They are also very old, and in fact, radiometric dating suggests they are at least as old as Earth itself; some appear to pre-date even that.
