Trying hard in school sucks, but I just realized if I tried this hard the whole year I probably would have been able to get a much higher GPA

There’s a lot of debris floating around in space, and researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab are using supercomputers, optical sensors and other technology to track even small objects that could damage important satellites.

John Henderson, a space scientist at LLNL, explains:

“Everybody uses GPS to get from here to there. We have satellite television, we have weather reports, farmers use satellite data for monitoring crops. If you have a piece of satellite debris whacking into a satellite, in the worst case you now lose that capability.  In February of 2009, that actually happened where there was an Iridium communications satellite that collided with a dead Russian Kosmos satellite and so that basically took out a $100 million dollar satellite.

There’s somewhere between 100,000 to 200,000 pieces of debris that we would like to be tracking. And so the supercomputing capabilities that we have here at Livermore are one way to keep track of that.”

Still trying to soak in that I’m not a Lieutenant Governor anymore - it’s weird not having any responsibilities/obligations in this area of my life after having them for the past year.

The World’s Quietest Room

Scientists at Minneapolis’ Orfield Labs created their own soundless room, an anechoic chamber. Their studies have found that when putting subjects within the chamber, they begin to hallucinate within 30 minutes. 

With an average quiet room having a sound level of 30 decibels, the anechoic chamber’s sound level is -9 decibels. The ceiling, floor, and walls of the chamber absorb sound rather than have it bounce off as normal objects do. The chamber is so quiet that the subjects can even hear their own organs functioning.

Although extremely interesting, the experience is rather unpleasant. Not one subject has spent more than 45 minutes in the chamber alone. Leaving a person to only their thoughts, the chamber could drive them insane.

I remember talking to my closest friends about why I wanted to become a Lieutenant Governor. I remember talking about how I wanted to improve the division, and how I wanted to inspire others to serve. I remember talking about how I wanted to use this opportunity to grow as a leader, and as a person. 

A year later: it still blows my mind how I was granted this opportunity. I’ve grown so much ever since last April. My term is ending in one month - I’m making the most out of it.
