Yeah! NASA as an Earth Systems Engineering agency os an idea that many here at Ames-- and outside of NASA in the Bay Area-- are extremely interested in.
-
and here's the feedback from the Second Life community:
hey Riggers-- Zit Writer wants to know who can work with him to deploy the French translation content here on CoLab island appropriately. so I have a question: if we're going to take on direct resposibility for a big collaborative build here, to be done in collaboration wit this community, which project would you rather see tackled first: "
[14:23] You: if NASA CoLab were going to take on direct resposibility for a big collaborative build here in Second Life, to be done in collaboration wit this community and with multiple NASA Centers, which project would you rather see tackled first: [14:23] Prng Flagstaff: Yeah, Paradox, good one! [14:23] Paradox Olbers: <==keeps bottle of "White=Out" [for typing errors] next to puter as visual gag [14:23] Prng Flagstaff: Did you know clouds penetrate rock? We found that out. [14:23] You: 3D model of ISS, or 3D model of a crater on Mars? [14:23] Paradox Olbers: really?? [14:23] Rabbit Sneerwell: ISS [14:23] Caledonia Heron: mars [14:23] Siddhartha Fonda: crater on mars [14:23] Sine Arrow: Crater< Drew! [14:24] Universa Vanalten: moon and mars [14:24] Knight914 Writer: 3d model of finished ISS [14:24] Camden Mitchell: ISS. I'm guessing the crater could be done easier with the new sculpties. [14:24] Devery Barrymore: Mars--more potential for how we can do extra-terra landscapes. [14:24] Prng Flagstaff: I suspect several others might be working on Mars craters themselves; NASA would be best for ISS, unless you can get Boeing to do it (hint, hint). [14:25] Camden Mitchell: lol [14:25] Ariel Miranda: hehehe [14:25] You: heh [14:25] Knight914 Writer: lol [14:25] Paradox Olbers: L1 staging base to bring James webb IR scope back to for refurb ish [14:25] Universa Vanalten: i don't think so about ISS...that's history so to speak [14:25] Universa Vanalten: people don't understand why we're going back to the Moon [14:25] Caledonia Heron: yes Van [14:25] You: Nick Skytland from JSC and I are here talking about ISS. He'd love to do that. [14:25] Camden Mitchell: Wasn't there already a project in CoLab for building the ISS? [14:26] You: and our top dog-- Worden-- would love to see Mars I think. [14:26] Ariel Miranda: ISS might be good if people could actually interact with various stations inside. [14:26] Caledonia Heron: Strat Comm Van - space economy [14:26] Universa Vanalten: yes? [14:26] Jet Burns: <--- votes Mars, with a Moon minor [14:26] Prng Flagstaff: Private interests may extend ISS past NASA's planned involvement. Major capital equipment up there. [14:26] Paradox Olbers: 2 kilograms fuel could bring Webb back in slow gravity- gradient orbit [14:26] You: yes Cam-- just looking at how best to do it collaboratively (don't want it to just be Ames) [14:26] Universa Vanalten: second Jet's motion [14:26] You: and also relative priority [14:26] Ariel Miranda: Mars is certainly more forward-looking, although also being well represented in the neighborhood. [14:26] Camden Mitchell: Agree Ariel. Also, I thought it was a project that would tie in well with having CoLab Lessons and getting people involved in building etc. [14:26] You: the relative interest of this community is critical [14:26] Giles Yifu: I'm with Jet. Mars then Moon [14:26] Devery Barrymore: If we were talking Orion vs. Mars, that might be different. I'm very interested in how we might actually build those other Marscapes. [14:26] You: but I very much hope we can achieve it all! :) [14:26] Simon Sugita is Online [14:27] Jet Burns: Moon, Mars and Beyond is the present NASA theme, it would behouve us to keep that theme in SL I would think. [14:27] Paradox Olbers: L1 base is either too specialized or generalized, i'd agree if anyone said [14:27] Caledonia Heron: plenty of opinions :) [14:27] Devery Barrymore: Go for it, Drew. We're backing you! [14:27] Jet Burns: Yeup, we back ya all the wya [14:27] Jet Burns: way [14:27] Caledonia Heron: yes Devery [14:27] Universa Vanalten: i'd like to know more about what's out there now before it's decided [14:27] Universa Vanalten: try to leverage as much existing stuff and build on it [14:27] Boliver Oddfellow is Online [14:27] Universa Vanalten: with interactive stuff [14:27] Universa Vanalten: for visitors [14:27] Be Ewing: So (muted) means I can't see anything that person keys? ... though the rest of you seem to be able to answer questions and I can see the answers? ... relatively easy to guess the question ... so why mute? [14:27] Zit Writer: I also suggest a Titan landscape here in SL based on the data from Huygens (I can speak about that to JP Lebreton, PI of the Huygens probe at ESA). [14:28] Rabbit Sneerwell: take a week, tour the place, its great :) [14:28] Paradox Olbers: mars crater - we have experience now in terrain modding
-
...and/or a 3D Martian crater model in Second Life.
-
yeah it's a pain. BIG meeting today though-- I'm in there, reporting on PES to the Second Life community.
-
I'm in the meeting! :)
-
We only just made it available Keith, so give people time-- we'll keep encouraging people throughout the day, but the real goal for the site is to stay in touch and continue the work we began today AFTER the conference.
-
the goal w/ the website is for post-conference communication, so we hope for post-conference activity there! :) (as versus the goal of this Jaiku channel, which is during-conference communication)...
