Zohran Mamdani takes a ride on the M57, talks to free bus skeptics | NBC New York
Nice to hear him lay out his reasons next to a bus passenger who initially thought free buses would just lead to slower buses.

If we turn the roads into maglev systems, a central power distribution unit energized via solar and wind, and we make every vehicle basically an automated taxi, you set in your destination, the vehicle transmits that info to the maglev system, and away you go, no traffic jams, no consumable parts or fossil powered energy, just pure transportation luxury, reducing greenhouse emissions and traffic congestion, and when emergency vehicles need to get to an emergency all commercial and private vehicles automatically get routed out of the way and shut down for emergency response to pass through, imagine your ride to school, work or even vacation becoming an automated mode of transportational bliss;

💁🏻♀️ TIL: ✈️🔋 Heart #Aerospace completed a 27 minute test flight with its X1 #prototype, marking a milestone for battery-powered #flight.
The #aircraft flew without jet #fuel, pointing toward lower operational costs and reduced #emissions for regional #aviation. Engineers are now scaling the findings into a hybrid model designed for longer commercial routes.

Next #ispace mission on an #H3 rocket in 2028: "A joint effort to build #Japan’s 🇯🇵 first privately led lunar #transportation system".
One factor was the depreciation of the yen, which makes launches whose prices are denominated in #US dollars, like the #Falcon9, more expensive for Japanese companies. https://spacenews.com/h3-to-launch-next-ispace-lunar-lander-mission/

#TIL that the word "coach" rolled up into the English language from the Hungarian "Kocs," a town that became known in the 1400s for its "kocsi szekér": the cart of Kocs, a wheeled conveyance with steel spring suspension that spread across Europe.

Mapping Snow On Northern Winter Roads - A Dual-Frequency Polarimetric Radar Approach For Snow Characterization Over Land, Lake And Sea Ice

“Winter roads are essential transportation links for many remote northern communities, but their safety and reliability depend strongly on snow conditions and ice growth. In this study [link above], [the authors] evaluated a fully polarimetric, dual-frequency Ku- and Ka-band radar approach for retrieving snow depth across landfast sea ice, lake ice, and tundra.
Using field measurements near Churchill, Manitoba, and Resolute Bay, Nunavut [Canada], [they] found that the approach produced snow-depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over landfast ice, with encouraging Ku-band performance over frozen ground as well. [They] also developed an interface-detection approach for lake ice that can retrieve both snow depth and ice thickness - a promising direction for characterizing conditions relevant to winter-road planning and safety…”

“Winter roads are lifelines for remote northern communities. Built over land, lakes, rivers, and sea ice, these travel routes are increasingly vulnerable to warming temperatures and variable precipitation. To ensure safety and adapt to these changes, operators require high-resolution monitoring of snow depth across these diverse surfaces, as natural snow accumulation dictates ice growth rates, route viability and road stability. This study extends our polarimetric radar method, previously demonstrated on pack ice, to landfast sea ice, tundra, and frozen lakes and assesses how well we can retrieve snow depth over these surfaces. Results indicate consistency with earlier sea ice analyses, maintaining a mean snow depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over the landfast ice. Promising performance is also found over frozen ground using Ku-band (mean biases less than 6 cm). To address the specific challenge of lake ice, which includes strong returns from the ice/water interface, we present a new interface-detection technique that simultaneously retrieves snow depth and ice thickness. While current validation focuses on undisturbed snow, this approach could provide a path forward for characterizing the cryospheric environment in a way that can directly support the optimization of winter roads…”

@ianrbuck The wild part to me is that it looks like a fairly high traffic road next to the building, so I assume there would be a decent amount of noise and disturbance from that. I can't imagine how an occasional bus would be better than consistent road noise + accidents.

Mini rant…
If you’re a driver, don’t be one of those people who tries to turn left onto a busy road - especially if it means you block other people from going. Guy just pulled into the street and blocked a whole bus full of people plus other drivers behind the bus - when all he had to do was turn right and then find somewhere on the left to turn around. Would have cost him a few more seconds maybe, but it’s the right call.
