There's an episode of Star Trek TNG where the crew is briefly back on earth and capt Picard is enticed by the idea of taking a job where they do exactly this. They work on lifting a tectonic plate from the ocean floor to create a new continent.
Maybe not chasing, but meteor showers are actually a really big deal to ham operators. They cause certain bands to open up allowing us to talk all over the world!

I ran an xz1 compact for YEARS. probably still would be if my replacement screen hadn't kept popping back off. It was literally the perfect size phone. Big enough to watch yt videos on but it actually fit in your pocket!
For me, it's the fact that that entire space could be filled with water.
I used to get the same eerie feeling lifeguarding as a kid, walking around in drained Olympic size pools. Always weirded me out for a minute. Like any second it could fill back up.
Fun fact, after my motorcycle accident and c5-7 spinal cord injury in my neck, my entire body felt like this constantly. 3 years later, now only my hands do.
The more I see from this sub, the more I think I need a diagnosis lol. Idk if I really want to change my brain though, what if I get more productive but level out and lose creative drive?
Dr. T'ana or grumpy young Rutherford if I had to choose. Gotta know how stuff works but I'm gonna yell and swear at it while I fix it.
Dude made his own pocket ref.
Yes yes yes red mars is amazing. At first I was like oh great another 600 page scifi novel, but Holy shit is that some classic hard scifi that draws you in. The literal world building and charecter development is fantastic.
This is unironically amazing.
