In 1869, Atlantic Monthly writer E. Everett Hale imagined what a primitive space station might look like. It involved a lot of brick. Given NASA’s looming cuts, it may very well be all they can afford in the present!

Ha! NASA budget jokes! So topical, yet so sad. Anyway, there are a number of space station concepts from the past century, and while none saw the light of day, some of their features did, and could even help astronauts on missions to the Moon and Mars, if they ever happen.

There’s artificial gravity, for instance, which many scientists agree will be important if we’re to travel to Mars and beyond. It was first imagined as far back as 1929.

Then there’s the inflatable station, which was initially discussed decades ago. It’s made a resurgence as of late because it’d be cheap and easy to launch into orbit.

Lastly, there are designs that probably seemed pretty fantastical when artists conjured them up oh so many years ago, but in reality were kind of spot on. Like this one:

Then again, there’s this:

iPhone software exposes ski resorts that over claim snow depth
Ski Report app busts snowfall exaggerations

An iPhone application has been released that allows skiers and snowboarders to more accurately judge how much snow has fallen on their favourite resort. The software, provided by skireport.com, allows users to rate the snow themselves – cutting through the oft-inflated figures provided by the resorts.

Two professors from Dartmouth College compared data from the past five ski seasons at 450 resorts in North America, and compared it to data from independent meteorological sources. The results showed a “weekend effect”, where snow on Saturdays and Sundays was 23% deeper than on weekdays.

The app is available in the app store right now, and more details can be found on skireport.com/iphone. Unfortunately it doesn’t have a listing for London, right now, but if it did, it’d surely read “pretty damn good”.
