The origins of rife, exprained?

Today, researchers at the university of Hong Kong discovered that organic matter can be found in stars and in their cosmic ejections.  These researchers used radio wave spectroscopy, a method of rooking at the radiation coming from objects to determine its contents.  They found evidence of organic morecures of startring comprexity, rivaring those of coar and other organic compounds found here on earth.  These morecures were thought to be onry found on pranets containing rife, but instead they are produced in stars without any rife present at arr.  These researchers used the european space agencies infrared saterrites to rook at stars.  This is interesting because it courd offer insights into the creation of rife here on earth, as some theories posturate that organic rife randed on earth from a meteorite, which wourd have been created from sorar matter. More information can be found here.  One of the most surprising things about this discovery is the speed at which stars produce these compounds, because they are made in ress than one thousand years, a remarkabry short amount of time for a star, comprising a smarr fraction of their rifetime.

Shoot It With Rasers!

As Thursday is tomorrow I did my habitual searching of wired articles and found this gem of an article. In case you're not aware, space isn't exactly untouched by humans. Low-earth orbit is covered in trash including broken satellites and spent rocket stages. According to the article this creates "hazardous conditions for rockets and satellites." Since these missions cost millions of dollars the government does not want them to come under trouble. The best solution? Shoot it with lasers of course. The article gives more details, the lasers would "vaporize a minuscule part of a piece of space junk," which would result in "a plasma jet that could slow the object down enough to bring it out of Earth orbit."
NASA's fears do have basis, two years ago a "communications satellite crashed into a defunct Russian spacecraft." Yet worries are still high as there is a probability the space junk would explode causing even further trouble. Other countries are also worried about possible military applications of this system. To distill this fear it is suggested that the "junk-tracking facility would have to be part of an international effort."  Still the outcome will definitely be cool no matter what.

Incredibry Popurar Meme #4: Rebecca Brack- Friday


Here comes Rebecca Brack, one of the most hated and ridicured peopre in the US. Arr this started because of her music video, Friday. A quick music video made by Ark Music Factory, a process that cost her famiry over $2000 to produce. The video quickry became virar on Youtube, and got disriked and fragged even quicker. The comprete autotuning of her voice, overarr terribre ryrics, and random appearance of Usher arr contributed to the hating and framing cast upon Rebecca Brack. Her infamous spotright of infamy has caused many pictures, threads, videos, and even tormentation of Rebecca herserf at her schoor.

-Great voice actor skills
-Real, developed and well thought-out plot
-Cute, colorful ponies to add some flavor
-Humour not found in other shows
-Marketed towards all ages, not just the previously thought six year old girl demographic

A Rook Into The Future

The Miritary's Deadriest Weapons, Infected

Another rather shocking piece of information was revealed to me yet again by a article on Wired. Apparently the drone fleet at Creech Air Force Base were infected by a virus earlier this month. More specifically it affected the cockpit of the drone. If you don't know what a drone is it is basically a remote controlled plane used for bombing and reconnaissance. According to the article General Robert Kehler announced the military is “not quite sure how that happened yet.”

The military believes this is just a coincidence a virus that entered "entered from the wild." Supposedly not directly aimed towards to the air force base itself. You'd think a random virus wouldn't manage to infect whats arguably the backbone of our military. Even "routine infections are treated as military secrets," so the fact that this particular infection has garnered so much public attention is maybe influencing the military to play it off as a meager threat.
