For some reason this depresses me the most. More than reading about Dr. Fucking Oz becoming part of the healthcare system administration in the USA. (source)
USA's healthcare system is a joke in terms of providing healthcare for people. It is a for-profit business, that's all. So making it worse is not something that depresses me that much especially since I live in Europe and I get great free healthcare. But to see NASA being run by those who want to exploit the space....when NASA is by far the leading agency in space, is quite depressing.
The Idiocracy is here, led by no other than the United States of America.

I am trying to do some work from the motorhome for TROM and WebApe...I eat GB like a blue whale eats plankton. :D - I've put 100GB on my phone, using it as a hotspot. I have 50GB left now. After a few days...
This is why when we come back in January and start to live full time in the motorhome we will probably put a satellite internet with an unlimited plan. Mobile plans suck - only available per tribe....and in Europe, living in a motorhome, makes 0 sense.
We've also ordered 260W more of solar panels. We already have 260W on the roof that we put ourselves. Plus a new 1280W lifepo4 lithium battery. We decided to have enough power and be fully broke. It is what it is.
But feels great to get back online bit by bit. Doing my "normal" work. And doing it from here:

I went to Slovenia to participate in yearly maintenance of the artificial islands. These islands were made specially for the conservation of birds which otherwise would go extinct. The problem began when the Dam was build on the Drava river, so all natural habitats for birds been flooded. I enjoyed this trip and project a lot, much more info in the video.

Welcome to Idiocracy 1.0. It has begun.
Creepy how the world is becoming increasingly idiotic to the point of not knowing what to say about it anymore.
Pretty much all political options people are "offered" are fucked up. A choice between fast and steady decline or faster and more abrupt decline. Now the second is happening.
This world is a joke.
I will continue to do my work for TROM and try to keep myself saner. What else can I do...

I made some shelves for the motorhome :) - videos.trom.tf/w/1iJnjg2QKTDvZ…
It may sound simple but it was a bit tricky. This is our main closet. Really big for us!

I never saw the Milky Way (except in timed exposures) until I was about 50. Then I relocated to remote Australia.
It's quite spectacular really. You feel as if you can reach out and touch the Magellanic Clouds. They look like real clouds, but are spread across space and time. The locals call this the "giant emu". There is no feeling quite like the realisation of being attached to the universe; and actually seeing it spread out forever directly over your head connects you in a very primitive way. This connection is something humans lost by packing together in their concrete mega-cities.
The good news is that you can get it back.

I have removed the Gofundme campaign for tromhome.com - it was a failure and we manged to buy the motorhome after borrowing some money from family/friends. I will try to film a video tomorrow about the motorhome and continue to make videos about it. Right now we are so busy with so many things: insurance, stuff, things, people....
Also Yunohost got a big update but I am waiting until next month to update our servers, just in case...
We need to adapt to the motorhome life sonish, so everything is kinda messy. Not time for much. I wake up and go work on the motorhome.

My friend @Roma helped our TROMhome project with a massive 1.000 Euros donation. Thank you very much, I cannot say that enough. Tremendous help!
I will keep the Gofundme campaign for a little bit but I have dropped the goal further. Maybe we only may need a bit of financial help to get ourselves "on the road" and eventually be able to make TROMhome more TROM than home :) tromhome.com/
We hope that Monday we will have it! And then I can start to make more and more videos for our TROMhome channel videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/vide…
And slowly but soonishly all of our TROM projects will receive more love :)
Roma, you help so many people! You are such a kind and wonderful human being. Honestly...
Oh Roma is doing wonderful things for his life and his parents. Working on these things for years now. He managed to move his parents from Russia to Spain, just 7 hours from where we live. They all visited us last week. And now he will focus on his life, he wants to take a break from his job eventually and focus on important projects, also come join TROM more and do things together in that regards.
This awesome guy has been helping his family and other people a lot lately. But things are evolving into a wonderful direction. We are so happy for him!

Unknown parent • •"economics" is a very detached from reality concept. NASA just needs a taxi to do the important work. SpaceX failed to deliver on their promises and contracts with NASA from what I know, but regardless their "achievements" are hyped to the extreme. NASA space shuttle was also reusable and other rockets before that.
So the "costs" of the launches are a human made up invention of course, based on imaginary money and wrong priorities. We could easily divert a lot of human potential and resources into making these space exploration missions cost nothing, if we were a smart society.
SpaceX, Musk, and the like (billionaires) are simply making space into yet another market and brag about how much "progress" they are doing. Disgusting indeed.

Unknown parent • •I do contemplate about "economics isn't real" - I wrote 2 books about it. tromsite.com/books/#flipbook-t… and tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo… - Economics is human imagination going bad. Letting the fantasy of money (trade) rule over important things. Instead of asking how much it costs to to do this or that, we should see how we can do it efficiently.
As for which space taxi is more efficient, I do not care in terms of "economics" but real importance like what is it done with that space-taxi? Put more commercial satellites into the orbit? Go exploit space? Put the rich into orbit?

Unknown parent • •Your communism-word-salad may be a sign of you being too trapped into the fantasy world humans have invented, one that is very harmful. From climate change to slavery, useless products and waste. "money" is a human invention, of course. And if we are not to see this we have no chance to detach from its bad influence on us.
When humans put prices on a banana or a rocket launch, these prices rarely reflect the reality of resources, human costs, or even more so importance. We made a whole documentary about it tromsite.com/documentaries/tro…
If you follow the "spaceflight" flavor of the human activity on Earth, and you think we are making "progress", what does progress mean to you in that context?
Tio
Unknown parent • •We "obey" this human invention and this is a terrible thing as you can see around you. It is not at all a measure of efficiency. There is no efficiency that the USA imports 95% of the clothes from abroad or you eat tomatoes from across the continent just because is "cheaper" to grow them there and ship over to you. This system is a mess.
As for spaceflight sure you can measure the fuel consumption as a more relevant efficiency progress, but it is no progress if those rockets transport rich people into space, or more commercial satellites. That's where I fee many people fail to make sense of this system. They simply look at these measurements of fuel efficiency and so forth, but not the overall picture.
And "my economic views" are not "mine" or "views" the reality is that this global system of trade is a human made up game that is detrimental to the entire species and frankly obsolete. That's the truth.
Tio
Unknown parent • •I understand, but do you think we can still call it progress if that means we put more commercial satellites into space, more trips for rich people, or exploit other planets for materials?
Like cars are more efficient today in terms of fuel consumption but the entire "car industry" creates a terrible mess here on earth. We better make clean public transport.
Tio
Unknown parent • •SpaceX being the "industry leader" means almost nothing if you disregard the fact that they may just be a taxi for the commercialization of space. And NASA is far more than just launching rockets into space. As @Michael Vogel also said.
And this is not a "moralistic" argument between you and me, it is a fact that commercialization (most of the times) equals to destruction, abuse, and exploitation. On Earth or above ;)
