Nick Gogerty on SolarCoin: “Think Networks and Adaptation” Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Circular economy. Theory U. OverviewSentinel Mission. The spacecraft and instrument use high-heritage flight proven deep space systems, originally developed by NASA, to minimize technical and programmatic risks.
These heritage missions include large space-based telescopes (Spitzer, Kepler), a large format camera made up of many individual detectors (Kepler), and a cryogenically cooled instrument (Spitzer). By detective and tracking nearly all of the Near Earth Objects greater than 50 meters in diameter, the Sentinel Space Telescope will create a map of the solar system in Earth’s neighborhood enabling future robotic and manned exploration. The data provided by Sentinel will also identify objects that are potentially hazardous to humans to provide an early warning to protect the Earth from impact.

Ellen MacArthur. The Man Who Planted Trees. THE MAN WHO PLANTED TREES by Jim Robbins. Willie Smits: How to restore a rainforest. Indian man single-handedly plants a 1,360-acre forest. A little more than 30 years ago, a teenager named Jadav "Molai" Payeng began burying seeds along a barren sandbar near his birthplace in northern India's Assam region to grow a refuge for wildlife.
Not long after, he decided to dedicate his life to this endeavor, so he moved to the site so he could work full-time creating a lush new forest ecosystem. Incredibly, the spot today hosts a sprawling 1,360 acres of jungle that Payeng planted — single-handedly. The Times of India recently caught up with Payeng in his remote forest lodge to learn more about how he came to leave such an indelible mark on the landscape. It all started way back in 1979, when floods washed a large number of snakes ashore on the sandbar.
One day, after the waters had receded, Payeng, only 16 then, found the place dotted with the dead reptiles. "The snakes died in the heat, without any tree cover. "We're amazed at Payeng," says Gunin Saikia, assistant conservator of Forests. Amory Lovins: A 40-year plan for energy. The Future of Free Energy is here now!
