Hopefully it’ll stir up the autism field into realising that there is far more diversity in the causes of the symptoms that get labelled as “Autism” and that a diagnosis of autism confers no magic resistance to things like Tourettes, OCD, bipolar or anything else that the rest of the population gets.
The Planetary Society has posted an interesting update on the Pioneer Anomaly especially about the fact that they’ve managed to recover almost all of the original telemetry data as well as the doppler shift information they were after.
The original tapes were to have been destroyed after 7 years, but as they say:
Fortunately, this is not what happened in the case of the Pioneer missions. Not only were the original magnetic tapes not destroyed but, in the early 1990s, before deterioration would have made the tapes unusable, they were copied to much more durable magneto-optical media. Since then, the files, about 40 gigabytes in total, have been copied to modern computers and we have now developed tools to extract information from them.
Just a quick post to say that we’re back and alive and well, more later when I get a chance to write.. 🙂
