I will take it seriously when someone does a Star Trek nerd write up of what all the components of the ship pictured are.
Probably just as well Harry Harrison isn’t around to see this. I don’t think he’d want to write, or I’d want to read, “An Interstellar Anglerfish, Hurrah!”
Looks like a space junk yard.
Worse than the above comments, they spoke of *nothing* beyond what Freeman Dyson has been saying for some 30+ years now, without acknowledging him. There is *no* mention in the article of anything but the possibilities for life support, and very vague ones at that. As a result, Jonathan Vos Post has written them a series of really nasty comments about their plagiarizing of Freeman Dyson’s work, and some done by Vos Post himself.
Frankly, this puff piece for a project otherwise obscure is deserving of his ire.
I love this bit of commentary: “Sensors in the soil monitor activity and communicate with plants and help the system evolve.”
I wonder what language they’ll use to “communicate with plants”?
Plants communicate with hormones and other simpler chemicals.
