I just saw a ship that looks like some of those pictures earlier today: The Beckett-Class science vessel in the Cygnus point of interest by the current Elite Dangerous community goal station at HIP 87621.
On the topic of space games, Kerbal Space Program also had a mod to provide various inflatable space station modules. I loved them - very compact to launch and provided a fun place to float around in IVA on the way to the destination. I brought mine to Moho.

If someone at Yamaha is reading this, could you please release a firmware update for the Yamaha Reface CP so that the toy piano setting plays the hidden grand piano sound instead?
To get the hidden piano sound:
1. Turn Reface CP off.
2. Turn piano sound knob so it rests in between any two settings.
3. Turn Reface CP on.
The Reface CP is one of my favorite small keys piano instruments, and I got one specifically for the hidden piano sound, but it’s annoying to have to go through the above steps and I’m not experienced enough to mod the circuitry.

Sorry to say, but your site does flashbang when navigating pages in dark mode. It would also be good if it inherited its initial state from the user preference, rather than requiring a manual adjustment.
I’m not understanding the use case, here. Aren’t there plenty of no-name disposable Chinese cameras like this?
For me, it’s capabilities beyond a cellphone camera, in a package not much bigger. One of the biggest frustrations is taking a photo of something and the phone’s limited optical resolution makes that item nothing more than a tiny spec in a large 48 megapixel image. Yes, even the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s 5× zoom is horrifically inadequate for a good 40% of the photos and videos I take.
That’s why I rock a Nikon Coolpix A1000 - it does 4K video, has a 35× optical zoom, and all sorts of other goodies in a package that can collapse down into a block that’s not much thicker than a paperback book, and even smaller (H&W) than my iPhone. It’s small enough to fit into my satchel as an EDC for use at a moment’s notice, and not something that requires special dispensation every time I want to drag it along.
Consumers want flexibility in a portable package. There is no way I’d be able to drop another type of superzoom like the Nikon P1000 into my satchel, despite the much more attractive 125× optical zoom. It’s just too chonky as a whip-it-out-in-a-heartbeat EDC.
When playing guitar, instead of gripping the neck tightly as if your hand was a vise, grip it lightly and pull the neck toward your body instead. Make sure the action of your guitar is not too high; if it is, get it adjusted.
Listening is more important than talking, but don’t automatically believe what you hear. Find out for yourself.
Observing animals and plants can teach one about humans and living in harmony with nature’s cycles.
Some people are not capable of feeling empathy. Learn to recognize them.
Your initial intuition is often wrong about numbers and statistics and many things, even if you are an expert. Double check. Triple check. Discuss with others you trust.
A little at a time goes a long way (understanding compound interest).
Certainty leads to insanity (regarding the “trade” of life).

I'll add that I spent decades not learning to set up a guitar properly or acquiring the tools to do so. It turns out it's not nearly as difficult or expensive as I feared. To be fair it's a lot easier now than when I started, with youtube tutorials etc.
In particular, I now own a string height gauge, which was very cheap and makes the action assessment more empirical.
Also worth noting it's automatically disabled if telemetry ("Send technical and interaction data to Mozilla") is disabled.
Though even without disabling it, PPA is currently in limited rollout and only visible to Mozilla websites in the first place, so it would hardly cause any harm for now.

When I was using FF, i noticed that updates often revert settings to default. What pissed me even more was that there is no clear "Disable auto updates" checkbox, I had to create policies.json file in Contents/Resources/distribution folder for that. This was hostile, I'd never win the battle with developers.
