MOC WARS 2020! Clunkers! Fellowship Of The Brick!
A small utility ship sent into "uncharted" asteroid fields to measure their richness in valuable minerals, prior to company acquisition.
A dangerous job for the pilot, given the lack of basic safety features, and the constant threat of inhospitable "natives". Fortunately, the company fitted a gatling gun on the rear of the ship, so the pilot can protect the valuable cargo from pursuers, even if they have to climb to the back of their moving ship to use it.

After 15min of taking photos 'lunch' has become noticeably smaller and the outside is starting to look shriveled.
Cette recherche a récupéré des images du cerveau d'un humain ; non pas une image que le sujet regardait, mais plutôt une image stockée dans son cerveau que les sujets testés avaient vue plus tôt et simplement mémorisée !
This research retrieved images from a human’s brain; not an image that the subject was looking at, but rather an image that was stored in their brain that the test subjects had seen earlier on and simply recollected.
Supposons que vous soyez témoin d'un meurtre et que vous ayez un très bon aperçu du suspect. À l’avenir, un policier récupérera-t-il simplement l’image de votre esprit en utilisant les ondes cérébrales et la technologie de l’IA ?
Say you witness a murder and you get a real good look at the suspect. In the future, will a police officer simply retrieve the image from your mind using brain waves and AI technology ?
Fini les impressions d'un dessinateur tirées d'une description, mais à la place, il pourrait s'agir d'une véritable image « réelle » que votre cerveau transmet sur une copie papier !
No more sketch artist impressions drawn from a description, but instead this could be a bona fide “real-life” image that your brain is transmitting into a hard copy.
C'est quelque chose qui, pour moi, semble à peine croyable et ressemble davantage à l'intrigue d'un film de science-fiction, comme Tom Cruise dans Minority Report …
Les photographes de demain prendront-ils des photos dans leur esprit et les enverront-ils à leurs ordinateurs via des ondes cérébrales ? J'espère que non, mais cela pourrait arriver 🤔
It’s something that, to me, seems scarcely believable and sounds more like a plot of a sci-fi movie, like Tom Cruise in Minority Report …
Will the photographers of tomorrow be making pictures in their minds and sending them to their computers via brainwaves? I hope not, but it could happen 🤔

Aerial view of the Bingham Canyon Mine, the largest man-made excavation on earth.
The Kennecott Copper Mine is an open-pit mine located in Salt Lake County, Utah, just southwest of West Jordan, at (40°31′N 112°09′W). It is located 28 miles southwest of Salt Lake City. It is easily visible as a large layered multi-color, barren protrusion on the side of the Oquirrh Mountains, which lie on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley. It is currently the largest open-pit mine in the world, and the world's largest man-made excavation. The mine is 2½ miles across, and ¾ mile deep.
Kennecott is the second largest copper producer in the United States - providing approximately 15% of the country's copper needs.
Minerals were first discovered in Bingham Canyon in 1850, but exploitation did not begin until 1863. At first, mining was difficult, but a railroad reached the canyon in 1873, prompting massive settlement and extraction of the minerals. By the 1920s, 15,000 people of widely-varying ethnicity had settled in the canyon. Large residential communities were constructed on the steep canyon walls. Natural disasters were a common occurrence in the heavily-settled canyon. The population declined rapidly as mining techniques improved, and several of the mining camps began to be swallowed up by the mine. By 1980, when Lark was dismantled, only Copperton, at the mouth of Bingham Canyon and with a population of 800, remained. Today, mining operations continue at full-swing in the mine, and it is now the largest open-pit mine in the world. Work to expand the mine 600 feet east began in 2005, continuing to increase its size, growth, and capabilities. (Wikipedia)

Close up view of a despoiled & practically destroyed Squabb Wood near Romsey, Hampshire. Unnecessarily damaged by careless extraction of gravel.
Video shows the guard hitting the inmate several times after being handcuffed behind the back and legs shackled. The inmate sued the Colby Co Sheriff's office but the case was dismissed as frivolous.
Gun barrels still hot, the remainder of a NATO infantry unit rounds a corner in Osaka, Japan. With them is Célia Auclair, a wealthy French business woman that was taken captive in her hotel room by Eurasian units the day prior. The extraction got messy and a firefight broke out leaving multiple NATO soldiers dead. The target was taken alive and moved onto the streets, running in foot to the extraction zone.
I knew there had to be some good reason for all that tapping.....Ah...the prize...a larvae of some sort! Yum! Taken on Kiawah Island at Mingo Point.

Volcanic activity in Iceland is bound to areas known as volcanic zones. The North Volcanic Zone (NVA) is comprised of a number of volcanic systems, i.e. long rift zones with a central volcano at the centre of the system. The Krafla Volcanic System within this zone, with a 90 km long fissure swarm, is still very much alive. Every few centuries, this system becomes extremely active, and major continental drifts and volcanic cycles occur.
The geothermal energy areas of the Krafla Caldera, Námafjall Mountain and Gjastykki are all part of this system. The two magma chambers at the root of the Krafla caldera are the primary source of geothermal heat fuelling the entire area. Measurements show that the Krafla caldera geothermal area of about 40 km2 is divided into two main areas: the upper part with a depth of 1000m reaches a temperature of 200 ’C, whereas the lower part reaches a temperature of 300 ‘C.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE POWER STATION
Since 1977 the Krafla Area has been a source of geothermal energy used by a power station. This geothermal power generating facility, - considered to be Iceland's largest power station -, is able to produce 500 GWh of electricity annually with an installed capacity of 60 MW (two 30 megawatt units). The power station’s development was a pioneering endeavour, hampered by political feuds for years, as well as volcanic activity and technical complications.
The idea of constructing a geothermal power station at Krafla was conceived in 1973, and in 1974 preliminary work commenced with the drilling of trial boreholes to determine project feasibility. In 1975 the deepest well so far was drilled to a depth of 1809m. During the second half of 1975, however, after a long rest period, the Krafla fissure burst into activity. Between 1975 and 1984, for nearly a decade, a series of volcanic events occurred with intervals. Seismic activities were accompanied by volcanic tremor, earthquakes swarms, vertical ground movements, partial widening of the fissure swarm, increased geothermal activity and eruptions (nine in all).
This volcanic episode, known as the Krafla Fires, posed a serious threat to the station’s existence and several wells were destroyed. For a while it was uncertain whether Krafla would ever actually enter operation, but the project went ahead regardless and has been expanded since. The first turbine unit started up in 1977, and regular operations began in 1978, though the power plant did not work to its originally planned potential until the seismic and volcanic activities strongly declined in 1984 and further boreholes were drilled. A second steam turbine was installed in 1996, new boreholes were drilled and existing ones were repaired or upgraded. Steam extraction had been successful with improved technology, among those being directional drilling. After additional drilling and renovations were completed in 1997, Krafla was finally able to operate at its full (intended) 60 megawatt capacity in 1999.
At the moment, the Krafla geothermal power plant takes its energy from 17 high pressure production wells with 110 kg/second of 7.7 bar and, due to new technologies, 5 low-pressure production wells with 36 kg/s of 2.2 bar. The other existing wells are not in use and 5 wells do not exist anymore. One of the additional wells (IDDP-1), which was drilled in the Krafla geothermal reservoir, is nowadays known for being the world´s hottest geothermal well, since its borehole reaches magma at its lowest point with a temperature of 430 °C. The right to use the well is owned by Mannvit.
HARNESSING GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
Historically, the Krafla Area has been home to a number of economic ventures attempting to harness the earth’s powers. (Early on, for example, farmers tried growing potatoes at Bjarnarflag, but these often emerged from the ground already boiled.) Geothermal energy is the process where heat from the earth’s core, rising from underground magma or rock, heats the groundwater in the top layers of the earth’s crust. When precipitation runs through the hot bedrock the water heats up, resulting in hot springs on the surface and steam chambers underground. In low-temperature areas, hot water is primarily used to heat homes, while high temperature areas produce hot steam under pressure.
ENERGY AGENDAS
Iceland’s high use of geothermal and hydroelectric power (66% and 20% of primary energy use, respectively, in 2014) give it an enviable environmental reputation. Its use of geothermal power is one of the most creative in the world, and the country’s energy experts are now advising Asian and African industries on possible ways to harness geothermal sources.
To ensure economic prosperity, Iceland is seeking to shore up its position as a green-energy superpower. Thanks to its rich geothermal and hydroelectric energy sources, and new wind turbines, Iceland generates more electricity per capita than any other country in the world – and double as much as second-placed Norway. Interestingly, Iceland also uses more energy per capita than any other nation. Eighty per cent of Iceland's electricity is sold to a handful of international companies based in Iceland, such as aluminium smelters, but exporting electricity would bring in new revenue.
Iceland and the UK are moving through the initial feasibility studies of exporting clean hydroelectric energy via a 1000km subsea power cable running from Iceland to the UK (a project known as IceLink in the UK). Iceland is also continuing to expand its power-intensive industries, including becoming a global data-centre hub, home to the servers housing all our digitized information. If such initiatives go ahead, more power must be harnessed, and more power plants (and power lines) must be built.
