HiRISE Mars 3-D – New Amazing Flyovers

logo

HiRISE – High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment Camera is a camera on board the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — The 65 kg, $40 million (USD) instrument was built under the direction of the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. It consists of a 0.5 meter reflecting telescope, the largest of any deep space mission, which allows it to take pictures with resolutions up to 0.3 m, resolving objects about a meter across, or the size of a beachball. The HiRISE camera is designed to view surface features of Mars in greater detail than has previously been possible. This allows for the study of the age of Martian features, looking for landing sites for future Mars landers, and in general, seeing the Martian surface in far greater detail than has previously been done from orbit. By doing so, it is allowing better studies of Martian channels and valleys, volcanic landforms, possible former lakes and oceans, and other surface landforms as they exist on the Martian surface. • en.wikipedia.org — Doug Ellison from UnmannedSpaceflight.com has done it again and again and again. Here are new Mars flyover videos Doug has created from data from the HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Spiritual Economics (Re: Institutional Poverty – Silversoul7)

logo

Response to Silversoul7′s video about the mismatch between a reallocation of financial resources from Big Science projects to the relief of poverty which I advocate in my Big Spiritual Science video. My concern is not so much with the necessity of this kind of redistribution but more with the way that spirituality is brought into the discussion. When many people talk about secular versions of spirituality they often draw upon ideas, theories and images of big science projects; the LHC and the Hubble being the poster boys for this kind of reverence. To me these projects, worthy as they may be in scientific terms, are singularly inappropriate as pathways to any kind of morally viable transcendence. Big Science almost invariably takes the focus away from human concerns and points at the stars or the atom, and to me these are peculiar places to look for spiritual value. Where are the inspirational videos about the spiritual economics of wealth redistribution?
