  1. What if First Contact was this disappointing?
    Aliens just throwing memes back at us like an AI. No attempt to communicate, just a weird and irritating game.

    Anyway, any Alien that come to Sol is up to something. I don't care how benevolent they might seem, they shouldn't meddle in our mess. It's like hanging around a playground...

  5. Technical solution could help #Shetland #walkers ward off biting beastie

    Digital creator and #ShetlandTimes contributor Mark Burgess is behind the new application, which could provide welcome relief for walkers and other #outdoor #explorers.

    Similar #data has been used before to help fight against the #midge in mainland #Scotland.

    But the new app has been specifically designed to take account of Shetland’s own conditions

  9. I knew about Marco Polo, & even Ibn Fadlan—but today, my hero is Pytheas (c.350 to c. 306 BCE). Navigator/astronomer from the Greek colony of Massalia (Marseille).

    All we know of him is from later writers. In his lost book "Ocean," they read of his great voyage in the last days of Alexander. Britain, the Baltic, the Arctic, polar sea ice, Celtic & Germanic tribes, the midnight sun…then across the Med to the Black Sea. First to suggest the moon pulls the tides.

  11. Lovely Peeps, #Travel for me is restricted to my armchair at the moment - but I have no excuse to not still learn about this big, beautiful world of ours. 😊

    Especially if a monk in #Venice in the mid-fifteenth century could do it well enough to create a #map of the world that *remains a reference for research to this day*. 😲

  18. Silence In the Age of Noise by Erling Kagge, 2017

    What is silence?

    Where can it be found?

    Why is it now more important than ever?

    In 1993, Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge spent fifty days walking solo across Antarctica, becoming the first person to reach the South Pole alone, accompanied only by a radio whose batteries he had removed before setting out.

  22. Conquerors by Roger Crowley, 2015

    How Portugal Forged First Global Empire

    The epic story of the emergence of Portugal, a small, poor nation that enjoyed a century of maritime supremacy thanks to the daring and navigational skill of its explorers—a tactical advantage no other country could match.

    #Perseverance is among the latest in a lineage of interplanetary robotic #explorers that #NASA has built across almost 60 years, for about $60 billion. That’s less than what Zuckerberg spent on his struggling metaverse.

  30. In #Explorers, Lockwood doesn’t simply deconstruct #myths—he rebuilds the story of exploration as a deeply human, often painful, and undeniably fascinating process. The result is an eye-opening meditation on empire, cultural exchange, ambition, and the moral price of curiosity. #BookReview #History #Colonisation #Indigenous #Adventure #NonFiction

  34. Had a fantastic time at #AJ25 this week. Around 1200 young people from across the world, enjoying adventure and developing #skillsForLife together. Storm #Floris made things challenging, but they were absolute heroes throughout. We met other groups & made new friends from Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Wales, England, Denmark, Northern Ireland, as well as plenty of other #Scottish groups. #volunteer #Auchengillan #glasgow #AJ100
