Links to things I found interesting but didn't want to do a full blog post about.
- Russian Design for a Reusable Rocket Sure Looks Familiar. It looks a lot like a Falcon 9, but not as capable.
- A Thousand Years Before Darwin, Islamic Scholars Were Writing About Natural Selection. "Professors are starting to orient Charles Darwin within a rich history of people from all cultures who have grappled with the mechanisms of life."
- Shelved: Bill Evans' Loose Blues. "An album that took five months to record sat in the vault for 20 years before finally getting pressed to vinyl."
- Grapefruit Is One of the Weirdest Fruits on the Planet. "From its name, to its hazy origins, to its drug interactions, there’s a lot going on beneath that thick rind."
- China’s Mars-bound probe returns self-portrait from deep space. "China’s space agency has released images captured by a small camera ejected from the country’s first Mars-bound spacecraft, showing the probe in deep space as it nears the halfway point of its seven-month journey from Earth to the Red Planet."
- Three Scenarios for the Future of Climate Change. "The events of the next several millennia hinge on actions that will be taken by the time today’s toddlers reach adulthood."
- We Shot Our Film with a $600 Camera, 3 Lights, and No Budget (and Still Got Distribution). If you want to know how to shoot a feature film on the (real) cheap, this article will tell you one way to do it.
