You can jump to any section of y The National Cislunar Science & Technology Strateg here. Objective 3: Extend U.S. space situational awareness capabilities into Cislunar space SSA is essential to safe and successful spacecraft operations in all orbits, including in Cislunar space. SSA data, for example, help satellite operators avoid collisions with other satellites or debris, support rendezvous and proximity operations, and enable the identification of anomalous, irresponsible, or potentially dangerous spacecraft operations and space weather phenomena of significance. Expanded SSA capabilities will also provide benefits to, and benefit from, future missions to detect and warn of incoming potentially hazardous asteroids. The U.S. government will aim to understand the long-term effects of growing human activities on the Cislunar environment, and to preserve a safe and sustainable environment in Cislunar space—such as limiting debris in Lunar orbit. The following sub-objectives will advance this objective: Though there are designs for preliminary program architectures, a comprehensive framework for the SSA R&D needs for Cislunar space remains undeveloped. The United States will support R&D to advance technology useful for Cislunar SSA, including improved monitoring methods and better understanding of Cislunar orbit families and spacecraft dynamics. In pursuing this work, the United States will leverage work undertaken across the Federal government, the private sector, and relevant standards developing organizations. The United States should pursue cooperation with all entities operating in Cislunar space to identify and track emerging requirements, and make recommendations for SSA and transparency improvements. Evaluate SSA needs, priorities, and existing gaps for extending current SSA capabilities into Cislunar space. The United States should advance Cislunar SSA by initially identifying an architecture that optimizes terrestrial, Lunar-based, and space-based sensors, then leveraging existing ground-based sensors and developing new ground-based sensors as needed. Existing sensors should be investigated to determine if upgrades and/or modification to sensor software and hardware can improve detection of objects in Cislunar space. The U.S. government will support demonstrations of new, cost-effective terrestrial sensing capabilities optimized for Cislunar space, as well as continue developing and testing cost-effective space-based sensors for Cislunar SSA. These in-space tests should leverage orbits available in Cislunar space that can potentially enhance SSA capabilities. U.S. government organizations will leverage partnerships with the private sector to reduce the cost of Cislunar SSA capabilities. Develop or improve current ground-based sensors, and demonstrate cost-effective space-based and Lunar surface sensors, as needed. The scale and geometry of Cislunar space makes global networks of diverse sensors valuable to robust SSA, highlighting the value of international and private sector collaboration. The United States will pursue Cislunar SSA sharing with international collaborators, private sector actors, and academic institutions operating in Cislunar space. This could include joint research and development efforts, joint efforts on standards, and other areas. Due to the global importance of Cislunar SSA, the U.S. government will explore opportunities to increase the volume and speed of science and avoid duplication while coordinating critical overall efforts. Increase cooperation and data-exchanges with other users of Cislunar space. Data formatting and standards between the U.S. government and private and international space missions will need to be coordinated to ensure compatibility. The U.S. government will develop and maintain an integrated catalog of Cislunar objects, both natural and human-made, utilizing data from all available sources and in collaboration with private entities. The catalog should include human-made objects on the Lunar surface. The catalog should also include information about objects that can aid in assuring compatible coexistence with spacecraft and scientific investigations, including those from the Shielded Zone of the Moon. If possible, satellite operators should periodically provide their planned maneuvers and trajectories to the catalog. Develop an integrated Cislunar object catalog. Consistent with national policy, including Space Policy Directive-3, the U.S. government will continue to share SSA information and provide basic spaceflight safety services to all space operators. A civilian open data platform will be used to leverage Cislunar SSA data and services provided from a variety of government, commercial, academic, and international sources. Additional discovery and characterization of potentially hazardous objects may leverage the International Astronomical Union’s (IAU) Minor Planet Center, the longstanding U.S. contribution via NASA’s Office of Planetary Defense. Develop procedures for publicly sharing Cislunar space situational awareness data, as well as navigation and spaceflight safety support in Cislunar space.

Dedicated to the incomparable Mysterious Galaxy

The Sea Lady by H. G. Wells, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book here . THE EPISODE OF THE VARIOUS JOURNALISTS THE EPISODE OF THE VARIOUS JOURNALISTS The remarkable thing is that the Buntings really carried out the programme Mrs. Bunting laid down. For a time at least they positively succeeded in converting the Sea Lady into a credible human invalid, in spite of the galaxy of witnesses to the lady’s landing and in spite of the severe internal dissensions that presently broke out. In spite, moreover, of the fact that one of the maids—they found out which only long after—told the whole story under vows to her very superior young man who told it next Sunday to a rising journalist who was sitting about on the Leas maturing a descriptive article. The rising journalist was incredulous. But he went about enquiring. In the end he thought it good enough to go upon. He found in several quarters a vague but sufficient rumour of a something; for the maid’s young man was a conversationalist when he had anything to say. [72] Finally the rising journalist went and sounded the people on the two chief Folkestone papers and found the thing had just got to them. They were inclined to pretend they hadn’t heard of it, after the fashion of local papers when confronted by the abnormal, but the atmosphere of enterprise that surrounded the rising journalist woke them up. He perceived he had done so and that he had no time to lose. So while they engaged in inventing representatives to enquire, he went off and telephoned to the Daily Gunfire and the New Paper. When they answered he was positive and earnest. He staked his reputation—the reputation of a rising journalist! [73] “I swear there’s something up,” he said. “Get in first—that’s all.” He had some reputation, I say—and he had staked it. The Daily Gunfire was sceptical but precise, and the New Paper sprang a headline “A Mermaid at last!” You might well have thought the thing was out after that, but it wasn’t. There are things one doesn’t believe even if they are printed in a halfpenny paper. To find the reporters hammering at their doors, so to speak, and fended off only for a time by a proposal that they should call again; to see their incredible secret glaringly in print, did indeed for a moment seem a hopeless exposure to both the Buntings and the Sea Lady. Already they could see the story spreading, could imagine the imminent rush of intimate enquiries, the tripod strides of a multitude of cameras, the crowds watching the windows, the horrors of a great publicity. All the Buntings and Mabel were aghast, simply aghast. Adeline was not so much aghast as excessively annoyed at this imminent and, so far as she was concerned, absolutely irrelevant publicity. “They will never dare—” she said, and “Consider how it affects Harry!” and at the earliest opportunity she retired to her own room. The others, with a certain disregard of her offence, sat around the Sea Lady’s couch—she had scarcely touched her breakfast—and canvassed the coming terror. [74] “They will put our photographs in the papers,” said the elder Miss Bunting. “Well, they won’t put mine in,” said her sister. “It’s horrid. I shall go right off now and have it taken again.” “They’ll interview the Ded!” “No, no,” said Mr. Bunting terrified. “Your mother——” [75] “It’s your place, my dear,” said Mrs. Bunting. “But the Ded—” said Fred. “I couldn’t,” said Mr. Bunting. “Well, some one’ll have to tell ’em anyhow,” said Mrs. Bunting. “You know, they will——” “But it isn’t at all what I wanted,” wailed the Sea Lady, with the Daily Gunfire in her hand. “Can’t it be stopped?” “You don’t know our journalists,” said Fred. The tact of my cousin Melville saved the situation. He had dabbled in journalism and talked with literary fellows like myself. And literary fellows like myself are apt at times to be very free and outspoken about the press. He heard of the Buntings’ shrinking terror of publicity as soon as he arrived, a perfect clamour—an almost exultant clamour indeed, of shrinking terror, and he caught the Sea Lady’s eye and took his line there and then. [76] “It’s not an occasion for sticking at trifles, Mrs. Bunting,” he said. “But I think we can save the situation all the same. You’re too hopeless. We must put our foot down at once; that’s all. Let see these reporter fellows and write to the London dailies. I think I can take a line that will settle them.” me “Eh?” said Fred. “I can take a line that will stop it, trust me.” “What, altogether?” “Altogether.” “How?” said Fred and Mrs. Bunting. “You’re not going to bribe them!” “Bribe!” said Mr. Bunting. “We’re not in France. You can’t bribe a British paper.” (A sort of subdued cheer went around from the assembled Buntings.) [77] “You leave it to me,” said Melville, in his element. And with earnestly expressed but not very confident wishes for his success, they did. He managed the thing admirably. “What’s this about a mermaid?” he demanded of the local journalists when they returned. They travelled together for company, being, so to speak, emergency journalists, compositors in their milder moments, and unaccustomed to these higher aspects of journalism. “What’s this about a mermaid?” repeated my cousin, while they waived precedence dumbly one to another. “I believe some one’s been letting you in,” said my cousin Melville. “Just imagine!—a mermaid!” “That’s what we thought,” said the younger of the two emergency journalists. “We knew it was some sort of hoax, you know. Only the New Paper giving it a headline——” [78] “I’m amazed even Banghurst—” said my cousin Melville. “It’s in the Daily Gunfire as well,” said the older of the two emergency journalists. “What’s one more or less of these ha’penny fever rags?” cried my cousin with a ringing scorn. “Surely you’re not going to take your Folkestone news from mere London papers.” “But how did the story come about?” began the older emergency journalist. “That’s not my affair.” The younger emergency journalist had an inspiration. He produced a note book from his breast pocket. “Perhaps, sir, you wouldn’t mind suggesting to us something we might say——” My cousin Melville complied. [79] II The rising young journalist who had first got wind of the business—who must not for a moment be confused with the two emergency journalists heretofore described—came to Banghurst next night in a state of strange exultation. “I’ve been through with it and I’ve seen her,” he panted. “I waited about outside and saw her taken into the carriage. I’ve talked to one of the maids—I got into the house under pretence of being a telephone man to see their telephone—I spotted the wire—and it’s a fact. A positive fact—she’s a mermaid with a tail—a proper mermaid’s tail. I’ve got here——” He displayed sheets. “Whaddyer talking about?” said Banghurst from his littered desk, eyeing the sheets with apprehensive animosity. [80] “The mermaid—there really a mermaid. At Folkestone.” is Banghurst turned away from him and pawed at his pen tray. “Whad if there is!” he said after a pause. “But it’s proved. That note you printed——” “That note I printed was a mistake if there’s anything of that sort going, young man.” Banghurst remained an obstinate expansion of back. “How?” “We don’t deal in mermaids here.” “But you’re not going to let it drop?” “I am.” “But there she is!” “Let her be.” He turned on the rising young journalist, and his massive face was unusually massive and his voice fine and full and fruity. “Do you think we’re going to make our public believe anything simply because it’s true? They know perfectly well what they are going to believe and what they aren’t going to believe, and they aren’t going to believe anything about mermaids—you bet your hat. I don’t care if the whole damned beach was littered with mermaids—not the whole damned beach! We’ve got our reputation to keep up. See?… Look here!—you don’t learn journalism as I hoped you’d do. It was you what brought in all that stuff about a discovery in chemistry——” [81] “It’s true.” “Ugh!” “I had it from a Fellow of the Royal Society——” “Stuff that the public won’t believe aren’t facts.” “I don’t care if you had it from—anybody. Stuff that the public won’t believe aren’t facts. Being true only makes ’em worse. They buy our paper to swallow it and it’s got to go down easy. When I printed you that note and headline I thought you was up to a lark. I thought you was on to a mixed bathing scandal or something of that sort—with juice in it. The sort of thing that understand. You know when you went down to Folkestone you were going to describe what Salisbury and all the rest of them wear upon the Leas. And start a discussion on the acclimatisation of the café. And all that. And then you get on to this (unprintable epithet) nonsense!” [82] all “But Lord Salisbury—he doesn’t go to Folkestone.” Banghurst shrugged his shoulders over a hopeless case. “What the deuce,” he said, addressing his inkpot in plaintive tones, “does matter?” that The young man reflected. He addressed Banghurst’s back after a pause. His voice had flattened a little. “I might go over this and do it up as a lark perhaps. Make it a comic dialogue sketch with a man who really believed in it—or something like that. It’s a beastly lot of copy to get slumped, you know.” [83] “Nohow,” said Banghurst. “Not in any shape. No! Why! They’d think it clever. They’d think you was making game of them. They hate things they think are clever!” The young man made as if to reply, but Banghurst’s back expressed quite clearly that the interview was at an end. “Nohow,” repeated Banghurst just when it seemed he had finished altogether. “I may take it to the Gunfire then?” Banghurst suggested an alternative. “Very well,” said the young man, heated, “the Gunfire it is.” But in that he was reckoning without the editor of the Gunfire. [84] III It must have been quite soon after that, that I myself heard the first mention of the mermaid, little recking that at last it would fall to me to write her history. I was on one of my rare visits to London, and Micklethwaite was giving me lunch at the Penwiper Club, certainly one of the best dozen literary clubs in London. I noted the rising young journalist at a table near the door, lunching alone. All about him tables were vacant, though the other parts of the room were crowded. He sat with his face towards the door, and he kept looking up whenever any one came in, as if he expected some one who never came. Once distinctly I saw him beckon to a man, but the man did not respond. “Look here, Micklethwaite,” I said, “why is everybody avoiding that man over there? I noticed just now in the smoking-room that he seemed to be trying to get into conversation with some one and that a kind of taboo——” [85] Micklethwaite stared over his fork. “Ra-ther,” he said. “But what’s he done?” “He’s a fool,” said Micklethwaite with his mouth full, evidently annoyed. “Ugh,” he said as soon as he was free to do so. I waited a little while. “What’s he done?” I ventured. Micklethwaite did not answer for a moment and crammed things into his mouth vindictively, bread and all sorts of things. Then leaning towards me in a confidential manner he made indignant noises which I could not clearly distinguish as words. “Oh!” I said, when he had done. “Yes,” said Micklethwaite. He swallowed and then poured himself wine—splashing the tablecloth. [86] “He had for an hour very nearly the other day.” me “Yes?” I said. “Silly fool,” said Micklethwaite. I was afraid it was all over, but luckily he gave me an opening again after gulping down his wine. “He leads you on to argue,” he said. “That——?” “That he can’t prove it.” “Yes?” “And then he shows you he can. Just showing off how damned ingenious he is.” I was a little confused. “Prove what?” I asked. “Haven’t I been telling you?” said Micklethwaite, growing very red. “About this confounded mermaid of his at Folkestone.” [87] “He says there is one?” “Yes, he does,” said Micklethwaite, going purple and staring at me very hard. He seemed to ask mutely whether I of all people proposed to turn on him and back up this infamous scoundrel. I thought for a moment he would have apoplexy, but happily he remembered his duty as my host. So he turned very suddenly on a meditative waiter for not removing our plates. “Had any golf lately?” I said to Micklethwaite, when the plates and the remains of the waiter had gone away. Golf always does Micklethwaite good except when he is actually playing. Then, I am told— If I were Mrs. Bunting I should break off and raise my eyebrows and both hands at this point, to indicate how golf acts on Micklethwaite when he is playing. I turned my mind to feigning an interest in golf—a game that in truth I despise and hate as I despise and hate nothing else in this world. Imagine a great fat creature like Micklethwaite, a creature who ought to wear a turban and a long black robe to hide his grossness, whacking a little white ball for miles and miles with a perfect surgery of instruments, whacking it either with a babyish solemnity or a childish rage as luck may have decided, whacking away while his country goes to the devil, and incidentally training an innocent-eyed little boy to swear and be a tip-hunting loafer. That’s golf! However, I controlled my all too facile sneer and talked of golf and the relative merits of golf links as I might talk to a child about buns or distract a puppy with the whisper of “rats,” and when at last I could look at the rising young journalist again our lunch had come to an end. [88] I saw that he was talking with a greater air of freedom than it is usual to display to club waiters, to the man who held his coat. The man looked incredulous but respectful, and was answering shortly but politely. [89] When we went out this little conversation was still going on. The waiter was holding the rising young journalist’s soft felt hat and the rising young journalist was fumbling in his coat pocket with a thick mass of papers. “It’s tremendous. I’ve got most of it here,” he was saying as we went by. “I don’t know if you’d care——” “I get very little time for reading, sir,” the waiter was replying.

In the Front of a Galaxy of Witnesses

It’s no secret that Guardians of the Galaxy had an uphill battle on its hands. After Earth’s Mightiest Heroes failed to last year, things weren’t looking so hot for Marvel’s Rag-Tag Space Outlaws. Add to that an underwhelming , and you might as well kiss Square Enix’s partnership with Marvel goodbye. But, after spending a week with Marvel’s loveable band of misfits, I’m happy to report that Marvel’s Avengers is not only one of the best superhero games, but it’s easily the most entertaining game of 2021. recoup their losses E3 reveal Fox On The Run Without going into too much into spoiler details, let’s just say the plot has the titular heroes once again forced to save the universe from a threat that they accidentally unleashed. Much like past Marvel games, Guardians treads a fine line between letting the developers come up with their take on these iconic characters while not diverging too far from their on-screen counterparts. While this interpretation of the Guardians takes a while to get used to, they eventually grow on you. What is surprising is how much growth goes with each hero. Through the game, each of the guardians goes throughout their own character arc. Drax, for example, had his past only briefly explored in the films, but it gets much more development here, and his arc ends on a gut-punching note. Eidos Montreal is well known for its focus on storytelling, as seen in its two Deus Ex titles, but Guardians of the Galaxy isn’t afraid to get deep, especially for a superhero game. Even some of the side characters and antagonists feel incredibly fleshed out. The plot is still relatively light-hearted, filled with the constant back-and-forth batter that the team is known for, but the few moments of hefty drama are handled gracefully and don’t feel out of place. Ain't No Mountain High Enough in Here Compared to the open-worlds and online arenas that we’ve become accustomed to, Guardians of the Galaxy is a refreshingly linear adventure. The only diverting paths lead to extras, such as costumes, data logs, and currency. The latter is used to upgrade Star-Lord with various perks, such as slowdown after dodging and improved shielding. While the straight-forward adventure sprinkles combat sequences throughout, there are a few diversions that help things from getting stale. You’ll have to partake in environmental puzzles that have you using one of the Guardian’s unique abilities, like having Gamora use her acrobatics to help Star-Lord jump up a platform or having Drax use his strength to move something from point A to B. None of these sections are too taxing on the mind, but they’re a nice break from the walking and shooting you’ll partake in. You’ll also have the option to pick from various dialog choices. While some are simple responses to progress the story, some conversations will allow access to different routes and get extra help from other characters in specific sequences later down the line. It’s a nice incentive to spend time choosing specific lines of dialog. But even if you mess up, the story will progress mostly the same, so you don’t have to worry too much. Guardians of the Galaxy is a surprising length adventure, taking around 10-12 hours. Once you pass the credits, a new game plus option opens up, and you have the option to replay chapters. Wham Bam Shoot-A-Lang Combat is where you’ll spend most of your time, with Star-Lord as the only character you’ll control. He only has his trademark blasters, but he can use them in conjunction with his jet-boots to hover around the battlefield. Throughout the game, Star-Lord obtains elemental abilities used to stun and hurt enemies while solving simple puzzles. While you can’t directly control the other members, each has a variety of special moves that they can use. Gamora can hack up her enemies, Drax can use his stamina to stagger his foes, Rocket can use a variety of grenades to attack or set up enemies for a blow, and Groot can use his branches to fight or trap his foes. This diversity makes combat a blast to play, with the game constantly encouraging you to mix things up, thanks to the wide-arrange of enemy types. Some are weak to Star-Lord’s elemental ammo, while others need to be staggered to deal damage. It forces you to strategically use each character’s abilities, especially since they run on a cooldown meter. It all makes for exciting enemy encounters that never get dull, even if the game is on the easy side. Death is rare since enemies spill out health cubes, but the feedback and insane carnage on display make for an exhilarating trip. After completing fights, each character can learn new moves through EXP, adding much-needed variety to each character’s move set. The last bit of gameplay comprises small sections where you pilot the Milano for brief bits of space combat. While they offer simple entertaining throw-backs to Star Fox, they sadly suffer from stiff controls. But, even with its minor shortcomings, Guardians still provides one heck of a good time through its journey. Come a Little Bit Closer Graphically, Guardians of the Galaxy looks good on PS5. The environments are varied, with no two planets or space stations you visit looking the same. Each world you arrive at constantly gives you the impression of a living, breathing location, thanks to strong art direction and excellent enemy design. From the start, you’ll have the option of going quality mode or performance mode. Quality sticks to 4K at 30 FPS and never drops. Meanwhile, performance is only at 1080p, and there are some noticeable frame drops below 60 FPS, though it’s not unplayable. Hopefully, a patch will be released to fix some of these issues. The music is filled with great licensed 80’s tracks, like Kickstart my Heart, The Final Countdown, We’re Not Gonna Take It, and even Never Gonna Give You Up. It all rocks and never feels out of place. Even the game’s main soundtrack is pretty good, fitting every major sequence with well-done orchestrated pieces. Hooked on A Feeling Is Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy going to win game of the year? Not really, but it’s a damn good time whether you’re a fan of the movies, the comics, or good single-player games. Eidos and Square Enix have successfully course-corrected themselves after last-years divisive Avengers game. Guardians of the Galaxy is a focused, length, and (most importantly) entertaining Super Hero romp that will make you giddy with joy to your second playthrough. So, do yourself a favor and come and get your love on with this interactive version of Marvel’s Space Outlaws.

Marvel’s Guardians of The Galaxy Review

The metaverse is quite possibly the future of the internet. To help our readers learn more about it, we've started this metaverse interview series. These are the questions we've compiled to ask experts in blockchain, DAOs, NFTs, and game development, within the HackerNoon community. The series is intended for tech professionals to contribute their insights about the current state and the future of the metaverse. If you too would like to start contributing to Hacker Noon, you can do so here. If you also want to publish your thoughts about the metaverse, answer the template here. HackerNoon Interviewer: So let’s start! First, tell us a bit about yourself. For example, name, profession, and personal interests. Hi there. I am Alex Blagirev and I am currently the Deputy CEO of Sensorium Corporation. I am also a Co-founder and acting COO of Wakatta. My job is about connecting strategic visions with actionable technologies to generate positive changes. In the context of Sensorium, this means leveraging some of the world’s top technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Blockchain to revolutionize entertainment and social interactions as we know them today. This is something I truly enjoy as it’s aligned with my passions for entertainment, finance, and breakthrough technologies. Before life at Sensorium, I held C-level positions at top-tier international corporations such as Alfa-Bank, Societe Generale, and PwC. I was responsible for seeing through disruptive projects like the world's first interbank blockchain transaction on MasterChain (Ethereum Fork) and P2P transaction based on ID photos. Please sum up what the metaverse is in 1 to two paragraphs. A metaverse is a boundless virtual space where experiences that don't yet exist can be created and lived fully. In this immersive 3D space people are able to have a constant feeling of presence, social connection, and engagement in activities that reflect their true personalities. There’s no switching on or off in a metaverse, so it becomes a permanent world that is perpetually evolving based on the actions of its users. It's important to note that metaverses are not meant to be simulations of the real-world, but rather an expansion of the possibilities beyond the physical boundaries we are faced with every day. Moreover, metaverses are a massive step forward for humanity in equalizing opportunities and accessibility to a whole new world of experiences. Are you currently, directly or indirectly, working on building a metaverse? We're actively working on developing Sensorium Galaxy - a comprehensive metaverse with multiple worlds within it. Each will be dedicated to a specific type of experience like music concerts and dancing or meditation and mindfulness. Our goal is to make this metaverse the kind of next-level experience that we haven't seen so far. That's why we sought out from the start to partner with the best of the best in each field, from tech partners to content creators and world-renowned artists like David Guetta and Armin Van Buuren. This approach is allowing us to create compelling content that will appeal to users and make them want to keep coming back to our metaverse. In your opinion, is the metaverse inevitable, or is it just another passing trending tech topic that'll lose hype? It might seem easy to dismiss the metaverse as just another tech buzzword. I think that's, in part, because most people still don't quite comprehend what a metaverse is and how it will benefit them. But on the other hand, the majority of us already live in a very primordial version of a metaverse. We spend our days glued to our phones or computers, uploading our personal lives onto the internet where we are all too happy to share banal everyday happenings. There's also the aspect of many services and infrastructure moving online because of the pandemic, be that getting your new ID card, attending a music concert or even taking up a job that is fully remote. A metaverse is just an evolution of that, likely in a new dimension that we call Web 3 It brings people together in one single, shared, decentralized virtual space that they can explore freely regardless of who they are, whatever impairments they might have or where they're physically located. No doubt that once fully developed, metaverses will be an extraordinary platform. Why is the metaverse such a revolutionary concept? The metaverse is sort of an iteration of the internet, but it's taking it to the next level. As an ever-expanding virtual space, a metaverse is a blank slate for all sorts of outlets. Ultimately, when you bring together technologies like VR, AR and AI, you’re creating a space where people will be able to live in 24/7, in perfect comfort and harmony. What can people build in the metaverse that we can't build on the Internet, or in virtual reality today? What limitations of our current technology does the metaverse free us from? It's not about what we can or can't build online today. I think we can all agree that it's possible to find pretty much anything online. But the current digital world comes with limitations of their own, namely that people have the feeling that they've become just another product or a digital commodity. We've lost a sense of sharing and fostering collective creativity. There has been a breakdown of the online system. A metaverse on the other hand is a constant collaborative experience over which users have direct control at all times. That's a liberating experience. If you add to that a tool like VR, for example, you're entering a dimension of immersiveness and hyper sensorial experiences that the internet as it is now can't offer. How are the metaverse and blockchain related? Can we build a metaverse without blockchain technology? We are currently living in what we call Web 2 — a paradigm dominated by centralized platforms, monopolies and highly regulated fiat financial systems. The metaverse will likely reach its fullness in Web 3 — a separate Web paradigm increasingly decentralized and based on user-centricity and the sovereignty of their data and wealth. To that end, blockchain technology is paramount to run Web 3 and therefore the metaverses that evolve there. Sensorium Galaxy, the metaverse my company is developing, makes a great example of this seamless union between blockchain and the metaverse. The technology is deployed to give users full control over their funds in this virtual environment, while empowering their creativity through the minting and exchange of non-fungible tokens. Blockchain also plays an essential role in creating transparency when it comes to digital IDs and structures such as Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, where everyone can vote and influence certain processes. How quickly do you think the metaverse will be developed? How much can we expect metaverse tech to grow in the next 5 to 10 years? The next decade will be crucial. We’ve been through many false starts in the past, but I do believe that 2021 is the tipping point. The metaverse is gaining momentum faster than ever before to the point where Facebook is switching a big chunk of its business model from being a social platform to becoming a metaverse. On par with this, we’re seeing supporting technology like VR also making great leaps forward. As soon as people are convinced, or at least intrigued, by the digital offerings of the metaverse and are able to easily access a VR headset, I think the metaverse will accelerate. What is your hope for the metaverse? Do you have any worries or does the concept pose any threats? As with any other new form of technology, there are two sides of the coin: one with the things we can anticipate and the other with unforeseen twists and turns. Beyond what we can actively have a role in shaping, like weeding out hate speech with filters or using AI to ensure that users aren't being violent to each other, there are outcomes we just can't predict. But I wouldn't say that metaverses will pose a threat to society in the same way that social networks aren't harmful per se, no matter how controversial they've become. It's all about making sure you're building responsible technology from the very start and that you're able to have enough flexibility to identify and tackle problems as they arise. Aside from that, I'd say that it's actually exciting not knowing exactly how things will pan out because planning a metaverse would defeat the very concept of this technology. My hope is that we're building something truly meaningful that will represent a new stage of evolution for humanity. Thanks for your time! Any final words? I believe that the metaverse will start slowly seeping into mainstream consciousness and with that it becomes the responsibility of tech companies like us to demystify some of the ideas around it. That way, more people will have a comprehensive understanding of what a metaverse is, what are the advantages of joining it, what kind of opportunities may arise and why it’s such a transformative step forward for society.

Inside the Sensorium Galaxy Metaverse

After DeFi, blockchain gaming is on its way to be the next big cryptocurrency market trend. The success of Axie Infinity has proved that blockchain gaming has tremendous potential to grow, creating a new race to many other Gamefi projects. Another promising one that is receiving astonishing hype from the community recently is Kripto Galaxy Battle, a new idle “Play-to-earn” game on KardiaChain. What is Kripto Galaxy Battle? Kripto Galaxy Battle is an Idle NFT game built on KardiaChain which aims to create a mass-adoption and Play-to-earn ecosystem. It is a strategy game set in a future universe, where participants will explore the galaxy searching for rare gems. Users will have enjoyable gaming experiences and gain profits by completing in-game quests, collecting NFT items, and selling them on Marketplace. The game is the collaboration between a fully-experienced game studio Cyforce and a Defi Platform — BecoSwap. Kripto Galaxy Battle - First statistics surpassed expectations Kripto Galaxy Battle had successful IFO on BecoSwap with a considerably high oversubscribe of 1200% and 4 million USD committed on BecoSwap Launch Pad. It has been backed by Kardia Ventures and VNDC Ventures. After the first Pre-sale NFT (Robot), there are approximately 1000 NFT holders and over 2000 successful transactions of NFT on the Marketplace. About 1M volume of BECO transactions after 1 week and 3M volume of KAI transactions less than a month on the Marketplace. What makes Kripto Galaxy Battle special? An idle blockchain game - “Play to earn” while saving your time Kripto Galaxy Battle is idle and it focuses on building strategies instead of spending hours playing games. Idle games, also known as incremental games or clicker games, are games where players can choose to actively interact with the game, or simply allow it to run in the background. This ability to have the game continue to operate without constant oversight and input gives idle games a level of flexibility not seen in other game genres. In the blockchain gaming space, one of the key features is to reward players for playing. That way, an idle blockchain game like Kripto Galaxy Battle is a perfect combination that provides even busy people with a way to enjoy gaming and earning while spending little time on it. Small entry budget for everyone to start playing game To start playing in the game, players need at least 2 robots, 1 monster and 1 planet. Each NFT - Robots, Monsters and Planets - costs 5 KABA (or can be bought on Becoswap NFT Marketplace). So you need at least 20 KABA to start the Gems mining feature in the game. This means players need only less than $10 dollars to start their “Play-to-earn” journey, which fits with small budget investors. People can earn from in-game events, mineral farming or assemble unique robots/monsters and earn from NFT trading, depending on users’ strategies. A perfect combination of NFT gaming and DeFi with an intriguing storyline Kripto Galaxy Battle is a perfect combination of NFT gaming and DeFi: The game is developed on KardiaChain by Cyforce Game Studio & BecoSwap. BecoSwap is the runner-up of the KardiaChain Pioneer Program. The DeFi protocol helps users earn and win tokens with Launchpad, Game, Yield Farm, Lottery, NFTs. With BecoSwap, Kripto Galaxy Battle will get easier to develop the infrastructure and economy, which facilitated further development, especially in DeFi, for example, farming, staking features, or even the NFT marketplace. In other words, users can craft in-game characters and items on BecoSwap Platform and trade on Becoswap NFT Marketplace, no longer having to wait like other projects. Meanwhile, Cyforce is a game studio that succeeded in developing mobile games with 100 million installs on Google Play and App Store. Moreover, Cyforce also has developed exclusive Stickman games for OneSoft Global — the international-scale game publisher behind Falcon Squad, 1945 Air Force, Emoji Block Puzzle with a whopping 50+ debuts, 300 million installs and 5 million daily active users. Kripto Galaxy Battle's storyline - a science fiction with a wide scope spanning from different planets, is also a factor that entices many people: As resources on earth get scarce in the future, humans have to conduct exploration of the universe to search for Gems containing great energy and high value. The continuous exploration put an end to the period of peace in the galaxy and kicked off the wars to invade the planet, loot Gems are constantly happening. To survive and thrive, the players will have to be talented strategists as the game play requires a mix of NFTs set (robots, monsters, items and planets) to participate in each in-game event. A great strategy will help players build the best team for GEM mining, PvE/Campaign mode, PvP/Leaderboard or plunder resources from other players. Gene, Attribute, Assemble and Mutation - Thought-provoking Game Features The character's features are interesting yet challenging. In Kripto Galaxy Battle, characters are impressive by their diversity in appearance and strength. Robots and Monsters (KChar) - two main characters in-game can combine to create new powerful characters according to the principles of genetics. Robots and Monsters’ appearances are determined by Attributes in its genetic code. Each Attribute is responsible for a different trait of a Kripto Galaxy Battle's character. For each Attribute, Robots & Monsters have four genes including one single Primary gene (the one that gets expressed in the Robot’s appearance) and Three Hidden genes, which do not have any impact on Kchar's appearance but might appear on its offspring when Assemble. Therefore, between many categories there are billions of possible combinations. This quenches the thirst for those who love collectibles and makes Attributes become one of the most interesting aspects of Kripto Galaxy Battle. It's a great place to start for new players to learn the game. Especially, the new NFT characters may have Mutations that make them highly valuable and powerful inside and outside the game. If a mutation happens, they will generate a new Gene. An example of mutation map could be described as below: Achieving a specific mutation is not an easy matter: Players must breed two KChar that each possesses one of the traits needed to combine to stand a small chance of achieving that mutation according to the gene principles, which makes the game more challenging, thus appealing. Another way to own a M1, M2 or other NFTs is by purchasing on the BecoSwap Marketplace, yet the price should be equal to the difficulty of finding it out. Spending time assembling Gen-O NFTs is much more affordable and entertaining, which will also create advantages for early investors, who hold Gen-O NFTs from Private Sale. About the TokenEconomics Kripto Galaxy Battle Token ($KABA) is a token that uses KRC-20 technology. Its aim is to avoid inflation by limiting the maximum token quantity to five millions tokens (5,000,000) that will be distributed in the ecosystem of the game. The $KABA token will be used for: Payment: Most assets in the game will be payable using KABA tokens. You will use KABA to craft assets gained from the NFT market or participate in events. Staking: After that, you can choose to stake either KABA token or NFTs assets into pools. The rewards will be returned as new items or KABA tokens. Rewards: In the game, after having the powerful robots, users simply can also get KABA tokens via missions and gems mining. You can also earn KABA after winning the battles and events. Breed: Players will use KABA to own and assemble in-game characters. How to “invest and earn” in Kripto Galaxy Battle? There are two tokens of the game: $KABA and $GEM. While $KABA is used as a cryptocurrency/main token within Kripto Galaxy Battle, $GEM are tokens used to upgrade, participate in battles, attend events and redeem rewards. Investors will earn $KABA in different ways including playing games, staking, breeding the NFT to get higher value NFTs to trade or trading tokens on Kaidex as the $KABA token has already been published. If you are a game player and are interested in the “play-to-earn" feature, you will need 2 Robots, 1 Monster and 1 Planet to start mining $GEM - the in-game asset. Staking features will be soon published, and one can choose to stake either KABA token or NFTs assets into pools. The rewards will be returned as new items or KABA tokens. How do the game makers earn from this? The revenue models come from a certain percentage of assembly fees. The higher numbers of players join the game, the higher demand of NFTs buying pressure on the market, and more tokens to be spent to Assemble features. Final thoughts: Some questions have been raised whether Kripto Galaxy Battle in particular or blockchain games in general are ponzi schemes, yet Cyforce Game Studio’s CEO aka Kripto Galaxy Battle’s Co-founder Mr. Nguyen Vu Son is very confident with the strategic development of the project, from the decision on the game genre to the collaboration of Game-Fi on Kardiachain with BecoSwap: Kripto Galaxy Battle will be suitable for a wide range of players from those who love collectibles, investors to the game players who might need to put in some money to start playing, yet they can recover that after some amount of time. That way, Kripto Galaxy Battle will bring real investment and entertainment for any user.

Introducting Kripto Galaxy Battle: A New Idle “Play-to-Earn” Game on KardiaChain

The Guardians of the Galaxy have jumped into superstardom ever since the release of their 2014 Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film. Now, everyone knows who Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot are, and they’ve fallen in love with this rag-tag group of misfits. So, it’s not a surprise that a video game starring the Guardians of the Galaxy is on its way. Here’s what you need to know about the Guardians of the Galaxy game being developed by Eidos-Montreal and being published by Square Enix. Guardians of the Galaxy Game: Story Details According to the game’s official , the Guardians haven’t been a team for a long time, they’ve recently just begun. This is similar to the film, where they come together and form a team quickly after they meet each other. website The website states that the team’s decisions snowball out of control, and it turns into a “chain of catastrophic events”. With the game taking place in outer space, there’s no limit to what this could mean. Maybe it could mean planets being destroyed or mean an encounter with the genocidal maniac, Thanos. Peter Quill, Star-Lord Although this game will feature all the members of the team, you will only be able to play as the leader, Star-Lord. Taken from Earth at a young age, Star-Lord still has ties to the planet with the music he listens to and the references he makes. As the leader of the Guardians, Star-Lord tries to reel in his teammates, but can also go along with their ridiculous ideas. Equipped with his rocket boots and his elemental weapons, Star-Lord might not have superpowers, but he doesn’t need to. His mask also allows him to breathe in space, just in case he ever needs to leave his ship. Guardians of the Galaxy Gameplay Even though you only play as Star-Lord, the rest of the Guardians are still available to assist you. In an of the Guardians of the Galaxy game, we get a closer look at the gameplay. The player can call on his teammates for assistance, but it looks like you can’t spam that consistently. in-depth video It seems that there is a cooldown so your fellow guardians can’t help you out all the time. It also appears that the guardians have numerous attacks to assist you, and you can cycle to the one that would help you the most. Throughout the gameplay video, we can also hear the Guardians conversing with each other, teasing and joking with themselves as we’ve grown accustomed to them doing. But it won’t be all fun and games for Star-Lord and his merry band of misfits. He’ll have to make decisions for the group that might not be popular amongst some of the members, and that might put the other Guardians in peril. In the video, we get a peek at one of these decisions. Star-Lord has to decide who to hear out when the rest of the Guardians are talking over each other, and again when he has to choose which member to sell. Although these seem like minor decisions that wouldn’t have changed the story too much, we wonder if we’ll have to make choices that have much more consequences and effects later on in the game. Guardians of the Galaxy in Video Games This isn’t the first time the Guardians have starred in their own video game. Released in 2017, Guardians of the Galaxy: Telltale Series is a narrative game where your decisions will affect the story. Like the new Guardians of the Galaxy game, the Telltale series takes influence from the MCU and puts their new spin on it. The Guardians have also appeared as playable characters in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. Square Enix and Marvel The publishing company Square Enix isn’t a stranger to Marvel and its characters. Recently, they released the Marvel’s Avengers game which saw the hero team reunite after a tragedy. The game is still being supported today, with Clint Barton and Kate Bishop being added after the game’s launch. Soon, a Black Panther expansion is arriving in the game with the character becoming playable and Wakanda being added as an area. Guardians of the Galaxy Release Date Fans of Guardians of the Galaxy will be happy to hear that the game will release sooner rather than later. According to the official website, the release date is set for October 26, 2021, and pre-orders are available. The pre-orders will include different costumes for the game, depending on which version of the game you pre-order. The Guardians of the Galaxy game is shaping up to be an exciting game featuring Marvel characters. With many more characters and storylines they can pull from, we’re interested in what else they’ll reveal about the game in the upcoming months.

Guardians of the Galaxy Game: Release Date, Gameplay, Story

Last week, I finally gave in to the temptation to buy Samsung's latest flagship tablet - the Tab S7. This is the first time I've owned a tablet in years, so I've been very excited to start using it! In this Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 review, I'll talk about how I've found the tablet to use, and my thoughts on some of the decisions Samsung has taken. Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Release Date The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 was announced on August 5th, 2020 and . As one of the newest tablets on the market, it offers a lot of value for those looking to buy a tablet sometime soon. released on August 22nd, 2020 Design Review The Tab S7 is a masterpiece in terms of design. It's light, versatile, and very aesthetic. You can hold the tablet in either hand, at any angle, and it always feels just right. If you have the keyboard book cover (which I would definitely recommend), you'll be able to quickly jump from an on-the-go tablet to a desktop workstation. Of course, it's no real rival to a Windows PC/Mac, but it sure looks the part. The S Pen - which comes free with the tablet - magnetically attaches to both of the longer edges of the tablet, and to its wireless charging pad on the back panel. That back panel, by the way, has a cover which flips over the pen so it can't be knocked off whilst charging. Genius. Software (Tablet Mode) Samsung's spin on Android 10 on the Galaxy Tab S7 is absolutely fantastic, with great features exactly where you need them. The settings menu is absolutely full of customisation and personalisation options, and the S Pen interacts brilliantly with the tablet. With a simple flick of the pen, you can launch apps, control media,  and take screenshots. You can even set the tablet to jump into Dex mode (more details below) as soon as you connect the keyboard. Multitasking on the Tab S7 is also great - with split-screen apps, pop-up notifications and even window-style apps you can drag around. Some of the more flashy features do feel slightly gimmicky, but most of them are genuinely useful and help me use the tablet effectively every day. Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Specs: Hardware Review The Specs on the Tab S7 are very impressive on paper, and even more impressive when you're using it! With 6GB of RAM and the latest Octa-core Snapdragon 865+, you're getting an absolute beast in terms of raw processing power. Add in one of the best graphics units around, the Adreno 650, and you've got a tablet which can run virtually any task (or many) extremely fast. The Tab S7 also comes with a really handy fingerprint scanner on the power button, on the top edge of the tablet. It's seriously quick, accurate and well-placed so it's easily accessibly however you're holding the tablet. Samsung decided to move away from in-display fingerprint scanners and back to physical ones, which is a move I have to say I agree with. My last two phones had physical fingerprint scanners, and my current one has an in-display scanner. There is no competition as to which type is faster, nor more efficient - the physical scanners win both easily. Display/Audio Throughout my review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7, I found the display screen nothing short of incredible. With an 11 inch, 2K 120Hz LCD screen, you are getting a crisp and fast display which has so far handled everything I've used brilliantly. YouTube and Netflix both look fantastic, and whilst I'm not a huge gamer, I've noticed that games like Asphalt 9 are seriously impressive on the Tab S7. Battery Life With a massive 8,000mAh battery, this tablet will easily get you through the day without needing another charge. I use mine for several hours a day, often with a bright screen, lots of apps running, and split-screen working. However, I haven't once needed to plug it back in during the day. Shipping with a 15W charger, which I've found to be reasonably fast, you definitely won't struggle with battery on this device. If you do need that extra boost though, the tablet also supports Samsung's 45W charger which will charge it up significantly faster. That's not an investment I've felt the need to make just yet though. Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Camera Review The 8MP front-facing selfie camera is excellent - always producing a clear picture for video calls and selfies. The one criticism I'd have though is that it's often a little impractical to get your full face in the shot. If you're in portrait mode, the camera is on the side and halfway down, so just totally in the wrong place. If you're in landscape mode, the camera is in the right place but it has a fairly narrow angle, so often doesn't capture as much as I'd like. Perhaps I'm being pedantic. I've never understood the necessity for a great rear camera on tablets. We practically all have a beast of a camera in our pockets, so why would we want to take photos or videos on a much bigger and heavier tablet? Regardless, the dual rear camera on this tablet is pretty good, with a 13MP main lens and a 5MP ultra-wide lens. It'll take clear and colourful pictures but it's not the best camera you'll find on a mobile device - but as I've said, that's not a big deal for me. Dex Mode Dex mode is one of the biggest selling points for the Tab S7. It's a desktop-like mode with draggable windows, a taskbar and full trackpad/mouse support. You can set Dex to launch automatically when you plug in your keyboard - which is a nice little time-saver. However, Dex does come with its problems. When you're in Dex mode, often certain apps will pop up with an on-screen keyboard every time you need to type - even though your physical keyboard is connected - which is not easy to get rid of constantly. Also, when switching between Dex and tablet mode, sometimes media will stop playing and apps will behave a bit weird. I'd definitely recommend only switching after you've closed & saved anything important. Overall, Dex is a really useful feature which makes using the Tablet with the keyboard really efficient, but it's definitely not competition for any laptop or notebook yet. Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Price: Is it worth it? Currently on offer for £549 in the UK (around $527 USD on Amazon US) at most retailers, the pricing for the Tab S7 is really competitive. To get the iPad Pro (with the Apple pencil), you'd have to fork out £888 - a whopping £269 more than you'd pay for Samsung's Tab S7 with the included S Pen. The tablet has certainly been a brilliant addition to my setup - serving as a great note-taker, video-player and all-round awesome mobile computer. It's great for both work and games, with the tools, software and accessories to do everything you could possibly want from a tablet. If you're looking to buy a tablet - and you can put up with the minor bugs with Dex, the Tab S7 is definitely a fantastic choice at a price far better than you'll find for any other high-end tablet.

The agreement requires Gladius to return funds to any investors who request a refund and the company must register its tokens as securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Gladius did not admit or deny any wrongdoing.
