Her work often focuses on the persecution of Latinx people, society’s poor treatment of women, and brutal repression—“Sold Less Than Gold” is about the international sex trade, for instance. All of this is set to music that is kinda proggy, kinda new wavey, kinda gothy—perfectly creepy #garage_rock.

#Mars_lander smashed into ground at 540km/h after misjudging its altitude | Science | The Guardian
▻https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/nov/24/mars-lander-smashed-into-ground-at-540kmh-after-misjudging-its-altitude

hat crashed on Mars last month flew into the red planet at 540km/h (335mph) instead of gently gliding to a stop, after a computer misjudged its altitude, the European Space Agency has said.

#Schiaparelli was on a test-run for a future rover meant to seek out evidence of life, past or present, but it fell silent seconds before its scheduled touchdown on 19 October.

After trawling through vast amounts of data, the ESA said on Wednesday that while much of the mission went according to plan, a computer that measured the rotation of the lander hit a maximum reading, knocking other calculations off track.

That led the navigation system to think the lander was much lower than it was, causing its parachute and braking thrusters to be deployed prematurely.

“The erroneous information generated an estimated altitude that was negative – that is, below ground level,” the ESA said in a statement.

[U]ne nouvelle course vers l’espace se déroule en ce moment même – un exploit non pas alimenté par des nations cherchant à planter un drapeau sur la Lune, mais par des explorateurs dont le but est de s’enrichir sur Mars et au-delà. Dans cette course aux dollars, les entrepreneurs espèrent en même temps trouver un moyen d’aider l’humanité à s’installer dans de nouveaux mondes.
