Robots in the Dark: The Subterranean Mission to Find Our Future Home on Mars
The dream of humanity setting foot on other worlds, of building new homes under alien skies on the Moon or Mars, is as old as our awareness of the cosmos. Yet, for all our technological ambition, a fundamental challenge remains. Space is an unforgiving environment. The surfaces of the Moon and Mars are constantly bombarded by deadly cosmic radiation, pelted by micrometeorites, and subjected to…
Autonomous Robots: The Future of Work
Autonomous Robots: The Future of Work The rise of autonomous robots is rapidly reshaping industries across the globe, presenting both exciting opportunities and significant challenges. Advancements in robotics technology are driving increased efficiency, enhanced productivity, and ultimately, a transformation of how work is performed. This article explores the latest developments in mobile…
Lava River Cave is a volcanic cave located in northern Arizona, formed by the eruption of the nearby Sunset Crater Volcano around 1064 AD. As lava flowed from the volcano, it created a tunnel as the outer layer cooled and solidified while the molten interior continued to flow. The cave extends approximately 0.75 miles and features fascinating geological formations, including stalactites and stalagmites. It was first explored by settlers in the late 19th century and has since become a popular site for visitors interested in geology and caving. The cave is a designated part of the Coconino National Forest, highlighting its natural significance and the unique volcanic history of the region.
I've hiked the length of this one and a few others near Flagstaff.
Are the "caves" in Morrowind lava tubes?
"20 year old game with lower poly count etc etc." ya I know! But design wise they look more like lava tubes rather than naturally occurring caverns. There's steam vents all over morrowind and obviously Vvardenfell is home to the volcanic Red Mountain.
The cave walls are so smooth and tubular unlike most IRL caves. Theres also open lava pits in quite a few Morrowind caves as well.
Look at the comparison of geometry between the game and real lava tubes.

Where to Live on Mars?
In the previous post I discussed how to get to Mars. Now you are there, and the question is, what now? One of the first problems is where to live, so let us look at that. It is desirable to have protection against radiation. People talk about lava tubes, but I wonder how many have actually seen a lava tube? There are some in Auckland, which is built on a volcanic field, but these are awkward to…
