Hi 
Jack
I think there was a partial? eclipse late last night and very early this morning. Though where I live in the UK it was mostly cloudy. so...
Jack
Iirc, there was only one series and there was no "ending" per se. It's ripe for a reboot in my opinion.
Some of the outfits were er...
... questionable, as were the mauve wigs of female members:
But don't let that put you off
One of my favourite things was watching Interceptor pilots fling themselves down their shoots to their ships.
At the time, it was fantastic and, imo, has stood the test of time and and is still a stand out show today.

I'm still out in the Formidine Rift doing exploration. I have EDEB running also but the latest version seems to be reporting guardian ruins everywhere.
There's another oddity with it in the way it tells you planetary worth - instead of saying "million" it says "oh oh oh oh oh oh oh,". Weird.

Hi
I've got my limpet collector filters set so that any tritium will be collected if it's there when I'm mining other stuff, but I've tried mining just tritium and I agree, it takes me ages to collect the stuff.
I don't purposely go out specifically to mine tritium, I prefer to buy it (at the lowest price I can find).but that's mainly because I've accumulated enough wealth to do so.
If I was starting the game from a new players perspective it might be a different scenario..
I've noticed again this morning somebody (maybe the original Cmdr ) has been donating some more commodities to my station overnight, as it's now at 70% finished!
I'm jumping over to the system in a minute or two to offload some Steel & Aluminium which should push that percentage up a few more notches. I don't want to give the impression that I'm being complacent.

Even for a new (or poor) player, it's usually more efficient to mine metallic rings and use the proceedings to buy ³H - but that doesn't work out in the black when there's no place that sells it.I don't purposely go out specifically to mine tritium, I prefer to buy it (at the lowest price I can find).but that's mainly because I've accumulated enough wealth to do so.

Another fantastic sunset in ED land.
I feel like that could've been a marionette show like Stingray or Captain Scarlet.Iirc, there was only one series and there was no "ending" per se. It's ripe for a reboot in my opinion.

I've only just checked the BBC and realised it happened.
A bit of a heads up would've been nice.
Though I did catch a nice 87ish percent solar eclipse one time. Even with clouds.
Sorry, I'm not sure where you are located, I thought maybe people in Europe might be able to see a partial during daylight hours.
Most of Gerry Anderson’s shows didn’t get a second season. The show that followed UFO was Space 1999 which is supposed to have started off as being a second season or sequel to UFO.
The crew of the submarine that launched the in atmosphere fighter that was armed with dumbfire rockets.
The wigs the moon base crew wore were supposed to be something to do with radiation protection but the blokes didn’t wear them. To prove it wasn’t a kids show the lady standing stripped into the miniskirt version of the uniform in one episode.

Gerry had finally got the budget to do live action by then starting with a half and half series called Secret Service and a live action movie called Doppelgänger in some markets.
Liverpool (not the Australia one). Apparently it was visible this morning but I'm off till Sunday and was being a lazy bar steward lying in bed.
Funny. I didn't even realise it was a Gerry Anderson production but that makes sense.
I have to own up. One of my favourite spaceships of all time is this one:
Showing its age a bit

It's one of the reasons I like Tactical Ice. And this of course:
Sylvia Anderson was supposed to have said that the idea of them wearing the wigs when deployed in space was to counter the presumed issues of ladies' hair in low / no gravity.
There is a video on the youtube about "The Women of UFO" (a proper documentary).
I'm heading back to the bubble for a while. Taking a break from being an explorer for a bit. I'll head back out once I've done other stuffs I think.

Well, one of the problems the quantum annealing technique is good for happens to be the Travelling Salesman problem, so look out for Trade Computer Mk III sometime soon and you won't believe what happens next.Yes, nice, but can it run ED?
(That is quite genuinely one application for QC that might change the world; last time we had a big change in managing shipping logistics allowing a move to just-in-time in the 90s, it changed the world utterly and we still see the impact now. So that might happen again. QC does have some of the smell of crypto and/or LLM hype, and others like to compare it to fusion, but it is genuinely somewhat different and might be A Thing.)
the wowmen of ufo that's absolutely F.A.B ulous that is........... it's just purrrdy.
only slightly more sexy than the time women wore "little hats" in war time

Shipping containers were a big game changer too, we called them conex boxes when I was in the military.
i honestly think the cycle of time mentioned in bsg may well be what happens to galactic species and civilizations
an inevitable cycle of tech advancement that eventually kills us off or sets us back to the stone age
from movies an shows like
the daleks
star trek movie "viger"
blade runner
AI
2001 a space odyssey trilogy (hal &monolith itself)
the terminator
Transcendence
the electric state
tron (mcp)
the matrix
megan
morgen
lucy
the artifice girl
subserviance
ghost in the shell
Ex Machina
i robot
westworld
dune (butlarian jihad)
aliens " the 85s always were a bit twitchy
dark star "let there be light" bomb 20
disneys the black hole and its proper creepy final ending scene
the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy and 42
the list just goes on and on and points to the time of qauntum computing qubit singularitys being our almost inevitable eventual downfall?
the fermi paradox and drake equation is what we need a qc to solve ist
lets not forget kryten and the nova 5 oops incident
