We set up the ferromagnetic ballistic protection system I’ve been talking about last year. It’s a super-heavy low orbit satellite, with an enormous short-interval field generator, coupled with a subscription to the Long Range Ballistic Records Network.
We pool our autonomous space observation data within the network and generate warnings for all known settlements, including this one. That should give us enough time to manoeuvre the satellite close to the trajectory of incoming debris and activate the field as it passes by, changing it’s path. Hopefully the change makes it miss our dome! That’s what was promised, in any case. The satellite should have enough mass, too.
Next up is the installation of some floating mirror fabric to build that solar parabola to get some more light. Something about the solar wind, Saturn’s gravity, and more electrostatic fields, they said on the forum. I’m just happy the polycarbon synthesizer and printer hasn’t failed me, yet. I think those models from the eighties are the best ones. Sturdy, and they last forever.
Munashe said they wanted a new computer but we need to focus on the greenhouse, now. I gave them the dome control panel manual instead. Perhaps they’ll catch the bug, like I have.
