Marveling at the world

Lots of Martian rocks and landscapes, looking all too familiar, but don't be fooled by that: Mars is an inhospitable toxic planet. Let's not mistake fiction for reality.

I like dirt and rocks, but I Am Not A Geologist (IANAG).

I also do rocky political commentary at times. We are all political animals by nature, according to Aristotle.

Thanks. I'm using a desktop PC. I can watch other videos using various techniques, but not live streams. Until today YT wasn't requiring signing in, but apparently that changed today.

No Artemis II splash down for me, then.

[About the #Martian mantle ...] In a recent study, Ludovic Margerin, a CNRS researcher at IRAP, challenges the findings of a study published last year based on the analysis of data collected by the #SEIS seismometer aboard NASA’s #InSight lander.

According to this new study, the analysis of InSight’s seismological data—which concludes that the Martian mantle is highly #heterogeneous—may contain #observational and theoretical flaws: https://www.irap.omp.eu/en/2026/04/the-heterogeneity-of-the-martian-mantle-is-being-questioned/

Positive News: France has announced its plan to ditch Windows & switch to Linux for government desktops. 🥳 🇫🇷

Not only that, but they have also moved 80, 000 National Health Insurance Fund Employees to open source alternatives replacing U.S owned Big Tech platforms like Microsoft Teams & Zoom.

It’s amazing to see the country take action, push for real digital sovereignty, & opt for open source solutions! 👏
