Wife and I did Dorf Romantik on a recent long train ride and we had a great time. It’s very cozy/calm which helps when you want to stay low energy and not bother your neighbors. And I fully agree with the battery pack idea - it gives me a ton of peace of mind when I’m traveling.

A very cool idea, however the headline is misleading - NASA has not even remotely committed to running this mission. They've selected the swarm project as one of 13 projects in their innovation program and given it up to $175k to study feasibility. That's roughly a postdoc for two years. This is far, far from committing the hundreds of millions or billions needed for the execution of this mission.

The Surviving Mars OST is spectacular, though the gameplay is just good.
