Re: Repeated posts

Am I missing something, because it looks to me like these two are identical. If you decide to edit a new post, removing and editing, then re-tooting it is the proper way to go.

It's confusing when we have duplicated threads, @chikara

repeated posts:

Black Friday sale on headphones coming in soon now. Listings here: https://musicredone.com/collections/monthly-specials/type_studio-stage-headphones`

Including this and other BeyerDynamic models.

Spent some nice relaxing and quality time last night. Brought down the headphones, connected them to a portable amp and listened to some great music.

Full sized headphones can be wonderful. Some HiFi pron imagery for your Wednesday morning/evening pleasure.

"Solar Sailing

Light is made of packets of energy called photons. While photons have no mass, they have momentum. Solar sails capture this momentum with sheets of large, reflective material such as Mylar. As photons bounce off the sail, most of their momentum is transferred, speeding up the sail in the direction opposite the bouncing light.

Unlike chemical rockets that provide short, powerful bursts of thrust, solar sails provide continuous, slight thrust and can reach higher speeds over time. Sunlight is free and unlimited, whereas rocket propellant must be carried into orbit and be stored onboard a spacecraft."

The Planetary Society's LightSail project.

Just read another news item about the Planetary Society's successful experiment with Solar Sail propelled spacecraft earlier this year.

I love the idea, and fondly recall one of my favourite Arthur Clarke Novels, titled "The Solar Wind", whci I read many years ago.

Searched for it, and found a complete post of the "Sunjammer"short story originally published by Clarke, which was further expanded into the novel.

Read it here and enjoy. 😉

"All spacecraft come with an expiration date: They can only travel as far as the fuel onboard allows.

This is one of the biggest obstacles we face in attempting to explore deep space.

But an experiment spearheaded by the Planetary Society may be a step toward addressing that problem. The group launched a satellite called LightSail 2 on June 25; it's designed to be the first-ever spacecraft propelled solely by sunlight."
