New to me, interesting one.

One of the issues I had with the game was that we buying and selling was a little dull because it was at a fixed rate. We discovered after the game that an expansion has been made (now free) that has a dynamic markety so that likely would improve my feeling about the game.

But there's a fair bit of luck involved here. While you can insure against it you can end up with insurance that doesn't get used so.

A Great Flying Machine | The Rockwell Automation - Star Raker:

The Rockwell Star Raker is an iconic symbol of midcentury aerospace ingenuity. The Star Raker, designed in the 1960s as a single-stage-to-orbit spaceplane, aimed to transform space travel by seamlessly transitioning between the Earth’s atmosphere and outer space.

This interview by @savetz with Rick Reaser, published under the auspices of @ataripodcast, is well worth a listen!

Rick talks a mile a minute and drops in gems about how the first generation of #GPS satellites used a pair of 4-bit bit sliced ALUs as their CPUs (not dissimilar to the CPU design on the #CenturionComputer that Dave from Usagi Electric has been working on?) and the next generation of GPS satellites ("block II") used a radiation-hardened microprocessor from Texas Instruments.

Rick describes #Commodore64 computers being used at #Rockwell to run test harnesses for the GPS satellites.

He also describes pushing the #Atari8bit to the max of its capabilities for productivity tasks like #WordProcessing, #Database, #Spreadsheet and communications applications.

Terrific stuff.
