If Shartsip works, it will be interesting to see what happens to the price to orbit per kilogram.

When I lived in Winnipeg, I had to go a long way outside of town to avoid the light pollution, my backyard here in CB is dark and not too bad. Then there is starlink, the bane of astrophotographers. The answer is going to space with instruments, and we all get to peek on the internet, but it takes amateur astronomy and the beauty of the night sky away from the average person. Technology takes much of the mystery away too and with that goes much of the beauty, as we have less to wonder about and more to wonder at.Noctalgia

I had the privilege of living under dark skies for a coupla years before buildup in the valley nixed it.
Looking at the summer Galaxy through 10x binoculars on a good night, it was no longer the pale thing of suburban skies, but … alive, monstrous, terrible in its beauty. The impression was one of gazing on a snapshot of a storm somewhere beyond violent, on a timescale a thousand times beyond our moment of history.
I live under muddier skies now (in the desert, but too close to Cali) and that hair-raising impression is bleached out.
I also remember a moonless October night in which a palest ribbon of light connected the last setting lobe of the Zodiacal light to the broad faint patch of the gegenschein. And I could intermittently see M33 with the unaided eye.
I gotta designate a night soon to head northeast to Death Valley environs. I had a near-spiritual experience there 33 years ago.
The sky was so clear and pitch-black (and devoid city-glow clear down to the horizon) that the of only reason you know of the horizon was that the stars in their thousands ended there.
The ones that were visible created a most remarkable illusion that they were just beyond arm’s reach. I’ve only experienced this that one time.

Big no to the app! Looking at a screen kills your night vision deader than canned tuna. Paper maps (following familiarization) and a weak blood-red LED light. A recommended adjunct is Burnham’s three-volume set on the night skies. It’s dated, but written with an abiding passion for the subject.

The screen on the app is red for night vision.

Brilliant use of words my friend.
I'm intrigued about that night in Death Valley 33 years ago, it sounds like it was delicious.
Where there any buttons involved?
Not that you would need any, but just think of the possibilities if you did chew a few.
That would have been nice I think.

Takahashi explained that, in medical terms, teeth are in fact organs not bones. “It is our dream to create fully formed organs,” he said.

All kidding aside, it's amazing the advances being made and what science will bring in the future.
(But really, how many male mice got the injection first though? LOL)
