It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness, that is life.

  • yes. there’s two branching discussions here:

    • Space as a scientific topic, it needs to be understood. Our observation of reality is very local, and although we can prove that some of our assumptions about physics, life and civilization work on our neighborhood, it doesn’t mean that they’re the same everywhere. That alone is sufficient reason for me, to explore.
    • Space as the new frontier. Many if not all exploration done on planet Earth has been, in some shape or form, resource-motivated. Lands, food, medicine, minerals, routes, are all found through exploration and normally through people spending money looking for a return over investment. Space is no different.

    I think the interesting part is where this two branches touch: If we ever plan on capturing an asteroid for mining, the technology needs to be there to do it, and hopefully the technology is about the benefit of all humankind. This kind of development is showing us the way to move forward and solve problems. Imagine a world when we don’t need to destroy ecosystems in order to get iron because all iron comes from off-world.



  • fue un ayudante buena onda o un profe profe?

    pregunto porque considero que enseñar LaTeX es comparable con que te enseñen a usar HTML, o Markdown, con un poco más de pasos extras que prácticamente ya no existen con herramientas como Overleaf.

    quizás mi formación universitaria fue deficiente en ese sentido pero ese tipo de herramientas eran cosas que aprendías por necesidad.
