Fraser, concerning the universe today content feed on Patreon. I followed exactly what described to find that content on the Patreon app, I went through it several times, listening to your explanation and trying to find it, bringing up … dots, and the COPY isn’t there.
There's a space horror game, "Moons of madness", set on a Mars base. And for all the scary things the authors put there, the one I remember as the most terrifying in retrospect is where you have to run from one habitat to another without a space suit.
@17:00 While Centaurus A is sporting an 'S' shape st the center (in pink in the first picture), I would describe the larger white shape as a 'hysteresis' shape instead of a parallelogram. The fact that we see 2 distinct shapes in one galaxy (or galaxy merger) is amazing.
We are much closer to having fusion power generation plants than Mr Cain seems to realize.
There's another fusion plant scheduled to go online producing power in Virginia from Commonwealth Fusion.
I'm disappointed to see that Fraser does not reflect a current understanding of the state of fusion power research and development. Helion energy is scheduled to start delivering power from its helium 3 powered fusion plant in Washington State in 2028. This is not 50 or 100 years away
We'll see.
Fraser broke character after reading the patreons! 😂
