Satellites have photographed several fluid bursts from martian cliff walls over the past decades. It is unclear whether the fluid is water or CO2, but H20 is a good candidate. Microbes may have lived below the surface for eons.
There have been microbes in everywhere they've been looked for in Earth rocks where the temperature is below 120C. Some scientists suggest this may be the largest biomass on Earth due to the huge volume.
he got on the somewhat kooky Singularity and Immortality bandwagons. He did a lot of the early work in optical recognition and voice interfaces pretty much on his own.
We have a couple dozen computer user groups in our town. About a third focus on coding. Java, web-services, mobile computing, gaming are fairly hot topics these days. User groups are often in meetup.com. If you still have a computer print monthly in your town, they may list computer groups too. Some user groups are lecture oriented while others are show-and-tell their projects. Many of these project are more or less open-sourced on the github cloud code-base server. So you look for a project someone has talked about, starting on the simpler side. Then download, compile, and modify their code. Maybe you could extend it a direction the original author lacks time for. Maybe you could use their code as a guide for you want to do, but you would be mostly starting from scratch. A good starting project is to write documentation for their code. That would mean you'd have to explore the nooks and crannies in it. A second perspective is a real help to an author. Because some authors say "this feature is easy to use" when it really is not.
Probably in the early months you wont get paid for this. But we have recruiting sniffing around our user groups all the time looking for warm bodies.
Here is the Mona Loa methane graph. Scientists dont understand why yet. First, sunlight destroys it in around 20 years. CO2 takes much longer to come out of the atmosphere. Second, geochemists may not understand all the methane sinks yet, e.g. the ocean.
Its locked in water-ice deposits called methane hydrates. Its mainly an annoyance to oil companies because these appear as fake oil deposits in seismic records. Hydrates also lock up high pressure gas which is dangerous to drilling if you do not properly anticipate them. Otherwise these natural gas deposits are far more expensive to produce than land shale-gas. So they are not on the economic radar yet and may be the fossil fuel of the 22nd century.
These are also mentioned a potential problem for climate change. As the world warms these could melt and release methane into the atmosphere. Methane is twenty times stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide per weight of gas. So some scientist suggest a runaway disaster of more heat releasing more methane causing more heat, etc. This has postulated the cause of a previous mass extinction in the geologic record.
So a cell phone is 10,000 time more powerful. A TSA scan takes five seconds a few times a year. Many cellphone users have against their heads hours a day.
Many other deep cores have been drilled in Antarctica. Does one of the Australian editors of Slashdot have an inferiority complex and post trivial OZ news?
At that time film was very expensive. Producers then preferred a minimal frame rate to save cost. Some Nickeldoleans were 10 fps. The guy in Hugo used 16 fps. Since Edison was one of the inventors of motion pictures, he may have wanted to sell more film stock.

The Web We Lost

In general these cant be search-cataloged or accessed without an account. Vast important sections of the web are hidden this way.
People in small living spaces dont have many safe options for storing much generator fuel. So many were in the long gasoline lines after Sandy had hit.
Confessed to terrorism and weapons-of-mass-destruction. Paid reparations. Then the US were frenemies for a few years before dumping him to revolutionaries.
Most of the time its an extrapolation of trends from that time and missing the Black Swans (unpredictable events). 1992 was a just before the first World Trade Center bombing. There are been other islamic terror incidents before then. But I wonder if anyone would predict US in major wars on that topic.
Also there were lots of protypes of the web around, none dominant. I would not have predicted it would have grown that fast into the public world.
Not so much "NASA" in the whole but individual research groups which change and disband with time. Private individuals pretty experience the same with childhood photographs and videos.
Some of the original moon landing video tapes were lost, recycled or decayed. For the 40th anniversary they digitally restored copies from the public. These "restored" ones were better than the originals from analog days. But there is always the nagging hint some future scientific discovery may compromised by lacking the originals.

You'll learn new ways of putting words together and thinking about the world. Not all that different from coding which is also symbolic.

And 384K disks; which was double the average PC. A 100G of flash stores hundreds of hours of musics and tens of hours of video

They are are either caught or did not plan that far ahead. The Arizona congressman shooter and theater shooter were captured alive.
Between centralized and satellite computing over the decades. Cloud based services are swinging toward centralization again.

Its unclear if the new min-shuttle has offensive capabilities.
Its in most broad-based index stocks in a small amount. Major oil companies are in the top 20 components of the S&P etc.
anti-fracking movie released later this month. Matt Damon and Gus Van Sant.
Its small enough with just a few hundred in a sub-specialty.

NASA is paying $60M a seat for 4 to 6 astronaut rides a year to the space station. Russia made money when they charged $20M for private astronauts.
I learned dozens over the decades. I can start coding in hours after looking at manual.
To do it well is another issue.
Detailed modeling of the radiation leak hypothesis.
