This awesome write up from @datadictum for @TheRegister deserves reading

The tech is just as broken as everything else in the NHS

theregister.com/2023/01/30/hos…

@SteveBarclay take note!
@datadictum @TheRegister @SteveBarclay Just reading the report of the review published by GSST:

'Learning and accountability – This review has been about understanding fully and learning all lessons from the events that took place.

The Trust must be accountable for acting upon those lessons without fear or favour.'
@datadictum @TheRegister @SteveBarclay Anyone know whom was the then CTO at GSST?

My run for the stars is officially over. Last year I've applied to the @esa #AstronautSelection. We started in ~22,000 very talented applicants. Sadly, today I got the news that I will not be invited to the panel interview 1/7
With my surprise, in the course of a year I've made it through 4 different selections, in Hamburg, Cologne and Toulouse. Still very happy to have made it all the way into the final ~100 or so candidates. What a ride! 2/7
Reason for rejection are still unclear. Some friends think that geopolitics might have played a role. While true, I think that the ESA selection committee eventually decided that I did not have what they were looking for. Or probably I'm just too big. 3/7

-- A THREAD: On the 20th Anniversary of Space Tourism, here are "Things I didn't expect would happen, but did. And what I learned from it all" ... A thread
1/ When co-founding @SpaceAdventures (SA) in 1998, we expected the start of the first space tours in 2001. Amazingly, we were right on schedule.

(Naturally fate demanded space tourism start in the namesake year of Clarke's 2001 A Space Odyssey.)
2/ SA's first client would become history's first space tourist 20 yrs ago on this day. Rocket fire replaced sci fi dreams. Cheers the world over signaled the change in paradigm. It all became real at 07:37:20 UTC on April 28, 2001.

#TWOLOVERS quizá sea la mejor película de #JamesGray, director de la reciente #AdAstra.

Por numerosos motivos (tanto artísticos como contextuales) pasó desapercibida en varios países, a pesar de sus HALLAZGOS.

Hoy toca #HILO de este particular autor y su contenida obra ⬇️⬇️ Image
#JamesGray es un autor muy CONTROVERTIDO.

No en vano, sus dos últimas películas han causado una CONFRONTACIÓN entre crítica y público poco habitual.

En efecto, #AdAstra y #ZLaCiudadPerdida fue amada por la mayoría de los CRÍTICOS y odiada por casi todos los ESPECTADORES. ImageImage
Simplificando mi reflexión, entiendo que la mayor parte de la culpa la tiene el MARKETING.

#AdAstra (2019) se vendió como un cruce entre #Interstellar y #TheMartian: AVENTURAS y SCI-FI; cuando se trataba de un VIAJE INTROSPECTIVO y ESPIRITUAL del personaje de #BradPitt. Image

Hoy toca hablar de PELÍCULAS que podrían ser SECUELAS APÓCRIFAS de otras, pertenecer al mismo UNIVERSO o considerarse un WHAT IF de otras con las que no deberían tener conexión.

Y no, no voy a hablar de los Vega de #PulpFiction y #ReservoirDogs.

Se avecina un pequeño #HILO ⬇️⬇️ Image
#LaConversación (Paramount, 1974) de Coppola, con GENE HACKMAN y John Cazale.

#EnemigoPúblico (Touchstone, 1998) de Tony Scott, con Will Smith y GENE HACKMAN. ImageImage
(SPOILERS) Tras la muerte de su último cliente y un amenazador mensaje, Harry Caul acaba cayendo en la locura y arrasa su casa en busca de MICROS y CÁMARAS.

25 años después, habiendo desaparecido y cambiado de nombre, recibirá la visita del personaje de Smith en busca de AYUDA. ImageImage

#AdAstra is... superb. This is what Scorcese was talking about when he made the criticisms between amusement parks vs cinema. With this, Joker, OUATIH, Midsommar and others, this is the cinema I love. Films that don't spoonfeed you. More spoiler-free thoughts. Thread...
The good: Some magnificent set pieces. From the opening freefall to the moon chase, there are some really great sci-fi scenes.

Very subtle but really perfect score.

I love that people make mistakes, sometimes very tragic mistakes, but they're all essentially on the same side.
It shares the same genetic makeup as Apocalypse Now. To criticise that it didn't have sci-fi, is to criticize Apocalypse Now for not having military strategies every 5 minutes. The hard sci-fi is there the way the war is there in Apocalypse Now. It's all around, it absorbs you.
