Music Day 14: "V'ger"...Voyager 1 is now billions of miles outside the heliopause, as far from that boundary as Neptune is from Earth, and speeding onward at about a million miles a day.

And it will take a full 17,000 years to reach "only" one light year away from earth. And to think, the center of our own Milky Way is 28,500 light years from Earth...just wow.

I love the humility of knowing this:-)

Retro SciFi Film of the Week…

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

This film is about a bald, long-legged alien… and other stuff.

It’s hard to convey how anticipated this film was when it was released. The original TV series had been canceled a decade prior, which disappointed loyal fans and by time this film was made, the series had been widely syndicated and gathered a huge fan base. It was a really big deal. The first Star Trek movie, ever.

Production for the film was a real mess. The suits at Paramount thought the thing was some kind of Star Wars knockoff and the script was rewritten several times before production began. They even wanted to turn it into a new TV series at one point. When production finally started, the script was still unsatisfactory to everyone. Creator Gene Roddenberry and director Robert Wise struggled over the project throughout. Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner and other cast members, and even the special effect guy were contributing to the script as the production was going on. The final script at the end of production contained only a fraction of what was in the original script when shooting started.

In the end the narrative wasn’t the tightest story ever produced, but it was original. However, it lacked any contemporary social commentary, which was a hallmark of the original series. The special effects were fantastic (for 1979), as was the score.

Douglass Trumbull (2001: A Space Odyssey) did the special effects which were almost entirely done with models, lighting, hand-painted mattes and photographic special effects; only a few simple computer generated images were used. The score was done by Jerry Goldsmith who continued on with the franchise, providing it with it’s distinctive theme music.

Because the film was so rushed, Wise was not totally satisfied with it and a directors cut was eventually made years later, which he thought was the best edit of the film.

Even with its flaws, I highly recommend this film.

"In the Ambassador programme, NASA, SETI and OpenAI will develop a large language model and a set of starter prompts, designed to teach a range of concepts and languages from first principles. The final system will act as the primary payload for the new Voyager Series X probes"

Hey community. Any time frame regarding support for ECDSA certs? My certs got updated and my capsule is not working due to relayd start failure: ssl_load_key: failed to extract RSA.

Maybe @solene ?

I have completely fallen in love with protocol. Just a few things I miss like inline images (more of a client implementation thing?) or url fragments. Pitty that there is still lack of content I am intersted in. It would be a dream to be able to completely move my personal internet reading to gemini. Never possible for my work internet use though. Not in the slightest.
