I'd certainly seen this exoplanet somewhere in my mainstream news world somewhere ... so nice to see a breakdown here from "Dr Becky" about how the science isn't so clear cut.

Anyone else able to provide insight on what the possible outcomes of the newly acquired data will be?

EDIT: what's with the downvotes? Genuinely confused ... is there some rule/culture against youtube videos or something?

Will we mine He3 on the moon?

Will we just do deuterium-deuterium fusion because the fuel is abundant and the output is good-enough?

Will we source tritium from.... where?

BOINC is a platform for volunteer computing. Scientists at universities around the world use it to process computationally intensive datasets (sky surveys, protein folding, etc) for FREE using the computers of volunteers. Volunteers get to contribute to cutting-edge research and put their hardware to good use. This is a major upgrade and improves packaging for Linux users. Relevant lemmy community !boinc@sopuli.xyz
