-## Project Blurb (for Inspiration Only)
-There is a rapidly growing number of man-made satellites in Earth’s orbit, fulfilling
-a wide range of tasks. As satellite technology develops, there is a growing interest
-in the design of satellites such as the International Space Station (ISS), that are
-capable of sustaining human occupation for extended periods. The design requirements
-of these occupied satellite systems are complex and depend upon the number of
-occupants, the expected duration of occupation (i.e. the number of years an astronaut would
-spend on the satellite) and the overarching purpose of the space station.
-
-Each group will examine a different type of space station, which serves different purposes, including
-- A habitat for long-term occupation
-- One with the optical telescopes or other imagers for disaster-monitoring, persistent Earth observations,
-or space-based astronomy
-- In-space factory for production of semi-conductors
-
-Students will focus on a single application from the above list and will consider
-different levels of human occupants, range from less than 10 to several thousand people.
-The specific objectives include determining precise system-level requirements, estimating
-costs associated with different possible designs, and developing an Attitude and
-Orbit Control System. Students will need to survey available launch vehicles (incl.
-SpaceX’s Starship Super Heavy) to develop cost estimates and a mission plan/architecture
-for the assembly. The latter will involve developing a high-level concept of operations
-needed to assemble the desired space station using either robots or astronauts. Again,
-a trade-off analysis is necessary as a precursor that estimates cost, speed, time, risks, etc.
-for each assembly style. By the end of the project, students will be expected to conclude with
-a recommendation on the station design, the chosen assembly architecture in the ConOps (aka
-Concept of Operations) for their given occupancy limit, and orbit/attitude control system simulations.
-
-## Weekly Workshop Philosophy
-In line with the [formal assessments (listed below)](http://angadhn.com/online_textbooks/UG_final_year_project/#formal-assessments) but also to prepare you as future leaders in engineering,
-our weekly 2-hour workshops are geared primarily towards getting you to developing broader skills than
-university might typically prepare you for in the early years. Some examples of skills you will develop
-over the coming weeks are listed below (but this is by no means an exhaustive list):
-1. **Public Speaking**: elevator pitch style in the early weeks to eventually being able to give rapid updates
-in the later weeks.
-2. **Writing**: Developing writing skills.
-3. **Insight Generation**: Reflecting on technologies[^a] and the underlying
-philosophy for their development.
-
-## Informal Assessments
-Thus, we have the following two informal assessments:
-1. Weekly in-class presentations by each member of every group the entire academic year.
-2. 6-page technical report to be submitted in Week 6 of Semester B.
-
-## Formal Assessments
-
-| **Assessment** | **Due Date** |
-| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------ |
-| **Assessment 1**: Front End Individual Design Report (10%) | [Due Date] |
-| **Assessment 2**: Group Project Proposal/Feasibility Study (10%) | [Due Date] |
-| **Assessment 3**: Peer Evaluation with Self Reflection and Action Plan Sem A (0%, Formative) | [Due Date] |
-| **Assessment 4**: Peer Evaluation with Self Reflection and Action Plan Sem B (15%) | [Due Date] |
-| **Assessment 5**: Individual Detailed Design Report (40%) | [Due Date] |
-| **Assessment 6**: Final Group Presentation and Individual Back-up Evidence (15% Group, 10% Individual) | [Due Date] |

-## Useful Resources:
-This list will grow but useful resources at the time of writing are listed below.
-### Tools for Writing and Research Managemenent:
-1. [$$\LaTeX$$ template on Overleaf](https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/qmul-sems-undergraduate-report-template/qdypzhkttgyt)
-that I have posted.
-2. [Zotero](https://www.zotero.org) is an excellent and free tool for collecting all the papers you use for
-your research. These will be used as citations in the Reference section of your report(s). For these
-reasons, tools like Zotero are also called reference management tools. Worth downloading and reading/wathcing some
-tutorials online.
-3. [Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com) is superb for finding scholarly papers in addition to
-the resources provided on QM+. A browser plugin can also be installed via Zotero that connects to Google
-Scholar to quickly import papers that you find interesting; link here for
-[Zotero Connector](https://www.zotero.org/download/connectors).
-4. [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org) is one example of a useful tool for making high quality images.
-[Keynote ](https://www.apple.com/uk/keynote/)and PowerPoint are
-also useful tools not only for making presentations but also for quickly making schematics or editing images.
-
-### Some Technical References:
-1. Space Systems Engineering Textbooks. The bible for this is typically [SMAD by James Wertz
-Some goods one are by Stark and Fortescue](https://www.amazon.com/Space-Mission-Engineering-Technology-Library/dp/1881883159) which is also made available via the
-[Internet Archive](https://archive.org/details/spacemissionanal0003edunse). Another is by
-[Fortescue et al.](https://www.amazon.com/Spacecraft-Systems-Engineering-Peter-Fortescue/dp/047075012X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1Q26KNFTZBRSQ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.e0d04EB9lgaq4_O9stPoRdmatNHD5PIdX9hZzjEJaZjVglvWUD5JhGJ3eK5mZ7nJqUYuSfL7tKb1kte3X2Ebqmz_mbqegw7XFk98ScwyQvRcQvGKdmAHEonLpOQKcJ6Q.6z31353CMhm9mEjpNLrAcUx1-TDFRUHJSIUju5o05Iw&dib_tag=se&keywords=stark+fortescue&qid=1726750506&s=books&sprefix=stark+foretescu%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C145&sr=1-1)
-which QMUL students can access on QM+.
-2. If you want to look into how books such as above can inform the development of large space structures, you can
-read my paper on how to [robotically assemble 25 metre space telescopes](https://www.angadhn.com/publication/2023-06-01-towards-robotic-on-orbit-assembly)
-and another [CalTech/NASA-JPL paper on 80 metre telescopes](https://kiss.caltech.edu/papers/largestructure/papers/architecture.pdf).

-
-## [Weblink](https://www.angadhn.com/ComputationalDynamics/kinematics/introduction.html)
-
-## Who might find the above link useful?
-{% newthought "The above text is most useful for" %} QMUL's first year undergraduate students taking
-[EMS418U: Computational and Mathematical Modelling 2](https://www.qmul.ac.uk/modules/items/ems418u-computational-and-mathematical-modelling-2.html).
-It could also be a useful resource for educators interested in classical mechanics wishing to teach computational
-modeling to students using computer symbolic algebra. The content makes have use of `sympy`; specifically, its
-`physics.mechanics` module which has some utilities for quickly diving into vector operations.
-
-## Our purpose
-The idea is to encourage intuition-driven modelling and computational thinking in three-dimensions. Where most
-introductory textbooks on classical mechanics emphasise hand-derived models to study motions of
-simple systems (particles or a simple pendulum), our approach focuses on enabling deeper capabilities with
-computing. We teach the fundamentals of modeling motion in three dimensions of particles and rigid bodies. We
-then introduce planar kinematics of rigid multibody systems. Why? Multibody systems are everywhere; humans are
-one example and robot arms are another. Waiting to introduce students to these concepts in an advanced
-postgraduate course does little to stimulate imagination, in my humble opinion, or challenge the student.
-Empowering students with the tools to build models seems like a better way to go about things from both
-a perspective of upskilling but also for students to find and refine their personal interests in pursuing
-their educational path into engineering. The use of computational tools early in their career
-likely {% sidenote '' 'I believe this will hold even in the age of AI.'%} also prepares them
-for their future roles in research, industry, and entrepreneurship.
-
-Later courses can build on the modeling capabilities towards analysing systems through numerical simulation
-in a more discipline specific sense. For example, we analyse spacecraft motion in

-## My Background and Interests
-{% newthought 'At present, I am a Lecturer in Spacecraft Engineering'%} at Queen Mary University of
-London in the UK{% sidenote 'One' '[My QMUL page](https://www.seresearch.qmul.ac.uk/robotics/people/ananjangud/)' %}.
-Since entering academia in 2020, I have attempted to traverse the twofold research and education
-landscape in a manner that I think can expand consciousness- mine as well as of those who try
-to work with me. This is especially that case (I'd like to think) for students and early
-career researchers.
-
-Everything I learned about my academic field of expertise (classical mechanics and
-multibody dynamics) and its effective written communication was from the
-[late Prof. Fidels O. Eke](https://web.archive.org/web/20230127150437/https://mae.ucdavis.edu/news/memoriam-professor-emeritus-fidelis-eke){% sidenote '' '[His UC Davis obituary](https://mae.ucdavis.edu/news/memoriam-professor-emeritus-fidelis-eke)' %},
-a truly extraordinary scholar and gentleman. Towards the completion of my PhD, I was fortunate to
-be accepted by [Dr. Abhi Jain](https://www-robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/who-we-are/people/abhinandan_jain/)
-to spend a year at the [NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's DARTSLab](https://dartslab.jpl.nasa.gov),
-where his group works on fundamental aspects of computational/algorithmic multibody robot
-dynamics while applying them in the context of various NASA missions. This was followed by
-a postdocotoral appointment at the [Surrey Space Centre](https://www.surrey.ac.uk/surrey-space-centre)-
-here, I drove research for [SSTL](https://www.sstl.co.uk) and Airbus into developing missions,
-architectures, and technology development/demonstration plans for robotic
-[in-space assembly](http://angadhn.com/publication/2023-06-01-towards-robotic-on-orbit-assembly) while also
-driving development of lab-based technology demonstration testbeds. Here, again, my worldview
-was expanded by [Prof. Craig Underwood](https://www.surrey.ac.uk/people/craig-underwood),
-who possesses an encyclopaedic knowledge of space missions while also being a proper space engineer with
-a deep understanding of technologies across various spacecraft subsystems. These experiences and mentors
-got me working in space robotics where my group works on fundamental engineering science-based know-hows
-towards realising futuristic space systems/technologies.
-
-## My Research and Pedagogic Philosophy: Tasteful engineering creativity via constructivist experimentation
-My new approach to personal learning and pedagogic growth bears some parallels to Papert's
-constructivist philosophy. My interpretation of this is that intuition and interest comes from
-experimenting with new and previously unknown interactive tools, much like a child playing with an
-ever-expanding collection of toys, to enhance their understanding of the world. My belief is that
-this leads to one eventually uncovering{% sidenote '' 'In some cases, even _discovering_'.%} their
-interests, which I see as an important precursor to developing taste. I am writing this while
-reflecting on the efforts of some extraordinary students who, over the Summer of 2024, collectively
-created an online textbook on Spacecraft Dynamics[^a] based on previous handwritten lecture notes.
-
-For students, I like to emphases exploration-based learning (as opposed to ), which deviates from
-the conventions of formal academia that are examination-focused (as much as my role permits).
-The dangers of eschewing exploration in educaation is bearing the anti-fruit in the extant
-populist model of STEM research where group leaders are focused on enhancing personal metrics
-by collecting more publications in a bid to raise personal research productivity indices
-{%sidenote '' 'A classic case of Goodhart’s law. My issue is that these metrics are not an
-effective measure of the true outputs from academia- the career of advisees [^b].
-Of course, this presumes advisees must also be self-motivated to grow their opportunities.'%}.
-My conclusion is that a lot of today's professoriate are not too different from
-philatelists[^c] but a potential answer lies in updating incentive structures. Or at least
-clarifying them; a funder should make clear it wants only journall papers or only datasets or
-a combination of these (and other) outputs.
-
-#### Footnotes
-[^a]: The students built on prior basic knowledge of Python, $$\LaTeX$$, and Markdown but more importantly some of them learned how to thoroughly review [pull requests](https://github.com/angadhn/SpacecraftDynamics/pulls). They were able to teach their friends, via remote pair programming, how to make contributions without my direct supervision. In the process, this team also taught me about sensibly coordinating a larger Github project while flying by the seat of my pants. I would like to think that we all grew a bit.
-
-[^b]: Can one teach another **how** to love something?
-
-[^c]: A commentary will be needed from me to clarify this as I do believe that documentation is important in STEM but more important is training future scientists to be effectively communicate in writing.

-> People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.

-Lorem Ipsum е елементарен примерен текст, използван в печатарската и типографската индустрия. Lorem Ipsum е индустриален стандарт от около 1500 година, когато неизвестен печатар взема няколко печатарски букви и ги разбърква, за да напечата с тях книга с примерни шрифтове. Този начин не само е оцелял повече от 5 века, но е навлязъл и в публикуването на електронни издания като е запазен почти без промяна. Популяризиран е през 60те години на 20ти век със издаването на Letraset листи, съдържащи Lorem Ipsum пасажи, популярен е и в наши дни във софтуер за печатни издания като Aldus PageMaker, който включва различни версии на Lorem Ipsum.

-Lorem Ipsum és un text de farciment usat per la indústria de la tipografia i la impremta. Lorem Ipsum ha estat el text estàndard de la indústria des de l’any 1500, quan un impressor desconegut va fer servir una galerada de text i la va mesclar per crear un llibre de mostres tipogràfiques. No només ha sobreviscut cinc segles, sinó que ha fet el salt cap a la creació de tipus de lletra electrònics, romanent essencialment sense canvis. Es va popularitzar l’any 1960 amb el llançament de fulls Letraset que contenien passatges de Lorem Ipsum, i més recentment amb programari d’autoedició com Aldus Pagemaker que inclou versions de Lorem Ipsum.

-Lorem Ipsum je jednostavno probni tekst koji se koristi u tiskarskoj i slovoslagarskoj industriji. Lorem Ipsum postoji kao industrijski standard još od 16-og stoljeća, kada je nepoznati tiskar uzeo tiskarsku galiju slova i posložio ih da bi napravio knjigu s uzorkom tiska. Taj je tekst ne samo preživio pet stoljeća, već se i vinuo u svijet elektronskog slovoslagarstva, ostajući u suštini nepromijenjen. Postao je popularan tijekom 1960-ih s pojavom Letraset listova s odlomcima Lorem Ipsum-a, a u skorije vrijeme sa software-om za stolno izdavaštvo kao što je Aldus PageMaker koji također sadrži varijante Lorem Ipsum-a.

-Lorem Ipsum je demonstrativní výplňový text používaný v tiskařském a knihařském průmyslu. Lorem Ipsum je považováno za standard v této oblasti už od začátku 16. století, kdy dnes neznámý tiskař vzal kusy textu a na jejich základě vytvořil speciální vzorovou knihu. Jeho odkaz nevydržel pouze pět století, on přežil i nástup elektronické sazby v podstatě beze změny. Nejvíce popularizováno bylo Lorem Ipsum v šedesátých letech 20. století, kdy byly vydávány speciální vzorníky s jeho pasážemi a později pak díky počítačovým DTP programům jako Aldus PageMaker.

-Româna
-
-Lorem Ipsum este pur şi simplu o machetă pentru text a industriei tipografice. Lorem Ipsum a fost macheta standard a industriei încă din secolul al XVI-lea, când un tipograf anonim a luat o planşetă de litere şi le-a amestecat pentru a crea o carte demonstrativă pentru literele respective. Nu doar că a supravieţuit timp de cinci secole, dar şi a facut saltul în tipografia electronică practic neschimbată. A fost popularizată în anii ’60 odată cu ieşirea colilor Letraset care conţineau pasaje Lorem Ipsum, iar mai recent, prin programele de publicare pentru calculator, ca Aldus PageMaker care includeau versiuni de Lorem Ipsum.

-Lorem Ipsum је једноставно модел текста који се користи у штампарској и словослагачкој индустрији. Lorem ipsum је био стандард за модел текста још од 1500. године, када је непознати штампар узео кутију са словима и сложио их како би направио узорак књиге. Не само што је овај модел опстао пет векова, него је чак почео да се користи и у електронским медијима, непроменивши се. Популаризован је шездесетих година двадесетог века заједно са листовима летерсета који су садржали Lorem Ipsum пасусе, а данас са софтверским пакетом за прелом као што је Aldus PageMaker који је садржао Lorem Ipsum верзије.

-This is an example page. It's different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this:
-
-> Hi there! I'm a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like pi'a coladas. (And gettin' caught in the rain.)
-
-...or something like this:
-
-> The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickeys to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.

----
-
-{% newthought "Much of today's `free' or consumer internet" %} is built on three principles:
-
-1. **Involuntary user data exploitation**: Recent debates around generative AI have returned attention to this.
-
-2. **Novel manipulation of users by malicious actors through personal chat**: WhatsApp is used as a
-political weapon to broadcast misinformation during elections, especially in developing economies.
-It was central to disinformation campaigns during elections in Brazil
-{% sidenote 'elaudio' 'El-Masri, Azza, Riedl, Martin J, and Woolley, Samuel. "Audio misinformation on WhatsApp: A case study from Lebanon." Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) Misinformation Review, 2022.' %},
-India{% sidenote 'banaji2019whatsapp' 'Banaji, Shakuntala, Bhat, Ramnath, Agarwal, Anushi, Passanha, Nihal, and Sadhana Pravin, Mukti. "WhatsApp vigilantes: An exploration of citizen reception and circulation of WhatsApp misinformation linked to mob violence in India."

"Discursive strategies for disinformation on WhatsApp and Twitter during the 2018 Brazilian presidential election." First Monday, 2021.' %}.
-
-3. **Social media companies incentivize poor online behaviors**: X and Reddit allow users to publish posts rapidly; some are insightful and informative while others lack taste, to put it mildly, leading to polarizing toxic content.
-
-# Proposal for new mechanics of online publication could ameliorate today's consumer internet
-
-I have been thinking a lot about the fundamental mechanics of online social platforms and how they
-can be designed to be less exploitative/manipulative and offer more respectful experiences on the internet.
-Specifically, I have been thinking about how publication should work on the internet and how this should be
-facilitated by personal reflection. This would work better, in my opinion, than online public shaming/arguments
-on comments threads of existing platforms.
-
-So, my idea is to re-imagine modern-day social media and personal messaging systems to introduce a new way
-to publish that allows content publication/broadcasting only using content that exists within a chat in your inbox.
-If this sounds unclear, think of having a button on WhatsApp or Gmail that converts a set of chat messages/emails/drafts between you and some friends into a blog or project proposal or white paper. In addition to human collaborations making the content appropriate for public sharing, an on-device AI agent (not on the cloud) enhancing/improving your pre-publication work, exposing biases in your thinking (think of this as an AI agent commenting in your GDocs). And then a button allows you to publish this content (or warns you against publishing). The on-device AI preserves privacy and recent developments show that LLMs can work on current personal computing hardware. A cloud-based agent could also be used for a second stage of monitoring; this would not violate user data privacy because the user's intent with posting is, after all, to have the data examined.
-
-I believe this introduction of some friction in the publication process that encourages reflection is one step towards driving individual users towards a society that's fairer and more respectful.
-
-# Some personal progress on making such a platform
-

-# Capacity Comparison: 100-Person Space Station vs. ISS
-## Known aspects of the ISS (or Data)
-The volume of the ISS is:
-- Total Pressurized Volume, $(V_{tot})_{ISS}$: $916 \,m^3$
-- Habitable Volume, $(V_{hab})_{ISS}$: $388 \,m^3$
-
-This means about $42\%$ of the ISS's total volume is habitable. It typically hosts a:
-- Standard crew, $n_{std}$ of $6$-$7$ astronauts.
-- Maximum crew of,$n_{max}$ : Up to $13$ astronauts (short-term).
-
-Not sure when this will matter in my analysis but the ISS mass is $420,000 \, kg$.
-
-
-```python
-ISS_Pressurized_Volume = 916 #m^3
-ISS_Habitable_Volume = 388 #m^3
-ISS_min_crew = 6 #astronauts
-ISS_max_crew = 13 #astronauts
-max_volume_per_crew_ISS = ISS_Habitable_Volume/ISS_min_crew
-min_volume_per_crew_ISS = ISS_Habitable_Volume/ISS_max_crew
-ideal_volume_per_crew_ISS = ISS_Pressurized_Volume/ISS_min_crew

-```
-
- max volume per crew 64.66666666666667
- min volume per crew 29.846153846153847

-## Known aspects of Von Braun's Rotating Wheel Space Station
-Wernher von Braun's [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JJL8CUfF-o) says that a rotating wheel space station would:
-- host 50 astronauts though [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_wheel_space_station#History) states 80 people.
-- be a torus of 250 $ft$ (76 $m$) diameter. The video shows two decks (in most cases) which I assume is 6 $m$ height in total. Again wikipedia says 3 decks, but I will stick to two 6 $m$ decks for now.
-
-This implies that the distance from the center of the tube to the center of the torus is $R = 70/2 = 35 \, m$ and the minor radius of the tube is $r = 6/2 = 3 \, m$. The volume of this torus is then the station's total pressurized volume, which is given by:
-$(V_{tot})_{vB} = 2 \pi^2 R r^2$
-
-So, we can estimate the volume of the the von Braun space station as:
-- Total Pressurized Volume: 916 $m^3$
-- Habitable Volume: 388 $m^3$
-
-
-```python
-from math import pi
-vb_wheel_dia = 70 #m
-vb_wheel_height = 6 #m
-
-vb_wheel_Pressurized_Volume = 2 * pi**2 * (vb_wheel_dia/2) * (vb_wheel_height/2)**2 #m^3
-habitable_factor_ISS = ISS_Habitable_Volume/ISS_Pressurized_Volume
-habitable_factor_targeted = 0.6
-vb_wheel_Habitable_Volume = vb_wheel_Pressurized_Volume * habitable_factor_targeted #m^3
-
-vb_wheel_std_crew = 50 #astronauts
-vb_wheel_max_crew = 100 #astronauts
-max_volume_per_crew_vb = vb_wheel_Habitable_Volume/vb_wheel_std_crew
-min_volume_per_crew_vb = vb_wheel_Habitable_Volume/vb_wheel_max_crew
-ideal_volume_per_crew_vb = vb_wheel_Pressurized_Volume/vb_wheel_std_crew
-print("vb_wheel_Pressurized_Volume", vb_wheel_Pressurized_Volume)
-print("max volume per crew", max_volume_per_crew_vb)
-print("min volume per crew", min_volume_per_crew_vb)
-print("ideal volume per crew", ideal_volume_per_crew_vb)
-```
-
- vb_wheel_Pressurized_Volume 6217.850772686295
- max volume per crew 74.61420927223554
- min volume per crew 37.30710463611777
- ideal volume per crew 124.35701545372591
-
-
-
-```python
-habitable_ratios = vb_wheel_Habitable_Volume/ISS_Habitable_Volume
-Pressurized_ratios = vb_wheel_Pressurized_Volume/ISS_Pressurized_Volume
-print("habitable_ratios", habitable_ratios)
-print("Pressurized_ratios", Pressurized_ratios)
-```
-
- habitable_ratios 9.6152331536386
- Pressurized_ratios 6.788046695072375
-
-
-### Question: How can we double the total volume of the von Braun wheel?
-To double the wheel's pressurized volume to 12435.7 $m^3$, one option is to increase the tube's height to 8.48 $m$.
-
-
-```python
-from math import sqrt
-vb_wheel_height_for_doubled_volume = 6 * sqrt(2) #m
-vb_wheel_Pressurized_Volume_doubled = 2 * pi**2 * (vb_wheel_dia/2) * (vb_wheel_height_for_doubled_volume/2)**2 #m^3
-print("doubled vb_wheel_Pressurized_Volume", vb_wheel_Pressurized_Volume_doubled, "when tube dia is", vb_wheel_height_for_doubled_volume)
-```
-
- doubled vb_wheel_Pressurized_Volume 12435.701545372594 when tube dia is 8.485281374238571
-
-
-The other option is to increase the torus's diameter altogether, which we discuss later.
-
-### Question: Are there reasons to increase the radius of the wheel as opposed to the height of the tube?
-One benefit might be that you need to rotate the tube slower to generate artificial gravity.
-
-
-```python
-vb_wheel_radius = vb_wheel_dia / 2
-earth_g = 9.81 #m/s^2
-rot_speed_vb = sqrt(1/3*earth_g/vb_wheel_radius)
-print("rot speed of von Braun wheel to generate a third of Earth g is", rot_speed_vb, "rad/s or", rot_speed_vb/0.10472, "RPM")
-```
-
- rot speed of von Braun wheel to generate a third of Earth g is 0.30566087650952556 rad/s or 2.918839538861016 RPM
-
-
-Comparing my calculations to [2001: A Space Odyssey's Space Staiton V](https://youtu.be/im-JM0f_J7s?t=136)
-
-
-```python
-SSV_wheel_radius = 150 #m
-moon_g = 1.655 #m/s^2
-rot_speed_SSV_for_moon_g = sqrt(moon_g/SSV_wheel_radius)
-print("2001's wheel generates Moon's gravity by rotating at", rot_speed_SSV_for_moon_g, "rad/s or", rot_speed_SSV_for_moon_g/0.10472, "RPM")
-rot_speed_SSV_for_earth_g = sqrt(1/3*earth_g/SSV_wheel_radius)
-print("2001's wheel generates third of Earth's gravity by rotating at", rot_speed_SSV_for_earth_g, "rad/s or", rot_speed_SSV_for_earth_g/0.10472, "RPM")
-rot_speed_SSV_for_earth_g = sqrt(earth_g/SSV_wheel_radius)
-print("2001's wheel generates third of Earth's gravity by rotating at", rot_speed_SSV_for_earth_g, "rad/s or", rot_speed_SSV_for_earth_g/0.10472, "RPM")
-```
-
- 2001's wheel generates Moon's gravity by rotating at 0.10503967504392488 rad/s or 1.003052664666968 RPM
- 2001's wheel generates third of Earth's gravity by rotating at 0.147648230602334 rad/s or 1.4099334473102942 RPM
- 2001's wheel generates third of Earth's gravity by rotating at 0.25573423705088844 rad/s or 2.442076366032166 RPM
-
-
-This shows that lower spin rates (needed to prevent motion sickness and acceleration differentials between that push blood to the feet) result in accelerations closer to Earth's but are achievable only with structures larger in diameter than the von Braun wheel. But building larger structures carries the benefit of more pressurized volumes; Space Station V is a little over 4 times the volume of the von Braun wheel and 29 times the ISS.
-
-
-```python
-SSV_Pressurized_Volume = 2 * pi**2 * (SSV_wheel_radius) * (vb_wheel_height/2)**2 #m^3
-print("SSV volume is", SSV_Pressurized_Volume/vb_wheel_Pressurized_Volume, "time the von Braun wheel's and", SSV_Pressurized_Volume/ISS_Pressurized_Volume, "times that of ISS.")
-```
-
- SSV volume is 4.285714285714286 time the von Braun wheel's and 29.09162869316732 times that of ISS.
-
-
-SSV volume is 4.285714285714286 time the von Braun wheel's and 29.09162869316732 times that of ISS.
-
-## So how can we get to this in one launch- that's the question!
-Are inflatables the answer....?

-[conceptual rotating wheel station](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JJL8CUfF-o) with some basic comparisons
-to the ISS (1998-present) and 1968's Space Station V from 2001: A Space
-Odyssey{%sidenote 'spaceOdyssey' 'Watch this as homework!'%}.
-
-## Von Braun's Rotating Wheel Space Station
-Wernher von Braun's [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JJL8CUfF-o) envisioned a rotating wheel
-space station with 9 sections for:
-1. Headquarters and Communications
-2. Earth Weather Observation/Prediction
-3. Military Reconnaissance using Optical and Radar Telescopes
-4. Emergency Hospital Section
-5. Astronomy
-6. Calculation Machines and a lower/outer deck with maintenance facilities
-7. A/C equipment
-8. Living quarters
-9. Botanical and Zoological Laboratory
-The video shows two decks per section, which I assume is 6 $m$ in heigh (i.e. the habitable portion between the
-outer rim and inner rim). Wikipedia says the concept had 3 decks but as I haven't looked that up, I will stick to two
-6 $m$ decks for now.
-
-The system is powered by an atomic reactor attached on one side of its central hub; its heat will drive a
-turbo generator to power the station. Radio and radar antennas sit atop the reactor. The other side of the hub has
-an airlock for astronauts to access/exit the space station via smaller spacecraft. Like a bicycle wheel, the system
-had thin spokes are condensers for the turbo generator and air-conditioning plant. Three larger tubes are elevator
-shafts that connect the hub to the main habitable sections of the wheel station. The station would:
-- host 50 astronauts though [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_wheel_space_station#History) states 80 people.
-- rotate at roughly 3 rpm to produce artificial gravity on the rim; and
-- be a torus of 250 $ft$ (76 $m$) diameter. The distance from the center of the tube to the center of the torus is $R = 70/2 = 35 \, m$ and the minor radius of the tube is $r = 6/2 = 3 \, m$. The volume of this torus is then the station's total pressurized volume, which is given by $$(V_{tot})_{vB} = 2 {\pi^2} R {r^2}$$.
-
-So, we can estimate that the von Braun space station has a:
-- Total Pressurized Volume: = 6217.85 $m^3$
-- Habitable Volume = 3730.71 $m^3$
-
-Here, I assumed that 60% of the pressurized volume is habitable. This is a considerably more optimistic percentage
-compared to the 42% of ISS.
-
-### How did von Braun imagine its realisation?
-{% marginfigure 'mf-id-1' 'assets/imgs/AssemblyOfRim.png' 'Assembly of the Modular Rotating Wheel Space Station.' %}
-{% marginfigure 'mf-id-2' 'assets/imgs/CondenserPipesInstallation.png' 'Condenser pipes being unwound for installation.' %}
-
-The short-version is that he assumed predominantly modular robotic assembly and a minor reliance on inflatables
-for the airlock. First, the hub is inflated using compressed air from built-in tanks. Protection from meteors
-is ensured by putting thin metal plates; this is unnecessary today as we have developed high-strength textiles
-that are used on inflatable space stations. A second launch brings with it an airlock, which is again attached
-by robots; this allows the pressurized hub to be used as a temporary quarters as the station assembly continues
-with astronaut-robot teams.
-Pre-fabricated and tested on the ground after which it is dismantled and assembled robotically in-orbit.
-A number successive launches (he says) ensure the "parts of the station are assembled in the correct order".
-Nylon tethers prevent parts from drifting away. The reactor appears to be the next big piece that is installed
-so I assume this is the third launch. This is followed by the elevator shafts and the rim sections being brought
-together. We can assume a single launch for each module: $3$ elevator tubes and 9 rim modules (assuming one per
-section). Assuming condenser pipes are installed from one launch (but the structure itself needs to be unwound robotically, which seems unreasonable/unreal at the moment as a robotic task.
-
-
-Lastly, the installation of instruments/equipment (a simple catch-all term for imaging antennas and
-the lab facilities compute for astronomical/Earth Observation data analysis, I think) and two small
-rocket motors on the rim. These rocket motors "blast for a few seconds" to revolve the station at about
-$3 \, RPM$.

-## Comparing to ISS and Space Station V (2001: A Space Odyssey)
-{% marginnote 'table-1-id' '*Table 1*: Comparing the ISS to fictional ideas.' %}

-| Gravity on-board ($m/s^2$) | - | 1.655 | 9.81 |
-
-## Some gaps in von Braun design
-1. Assumes a launch every 24 hours- not close to it then and not really close to that kind of cadence today. What could we do today?
-2. Doesn't really say how many launches are needed to realize assembly in the video. This can probably be found elsewhere but my estimate from watching the video is 15-18 launches.
-3. The process involves a number of assembly robots but we barely have one of these today. And whatever is there not autonomous.
-4. Materials used in assembly are unknown.
-5. Telescope sizes for reconnaisance and astronomy are unknown.
-6. Power requirements are unknown.
-7. What else?

-Meanwhile, private investors want rapid returns on investment while making

-
-From hereon, this post will focus on the radical notion of space
-superstructures, such as rotating wheel space stations, that expand our
-presence in various Earth orbits and then extend our reach to go deeper into space. The
-post mostly argues for a focus on developing inflatable technologies to

-(e.g., robots) are not really considered here but are generally important. Along
-the way, readers may find claims that explain why supporting the development
-of space superstructures in the near-term is potentially valuable and socially
-relevant.
-
-## The vision
-Simply put, the vision I am putting forward is of deploying monolithic
-space stations with crew capacities of at least $100$ astronauts, i.e.,

-Assuming that a pressurized volume $>20x$ of the ISS gives each crew member a
-hypothetical $\approx 200\,m^3$ of volume though, in practice, the habitable portion is
-roughly identical to the space occupied by on-board equipment/instruments

-compares the HPH to the ISS and von Braun station:

-As opposed to von Braun's imagined multi-launch architecture, I am
-imposing{% sidenote 'notproposing' 'Not proposing!'%} that this identically sized structure be achievable from a
-single rocket launch by exploiting an idea as old
-as NASA itself: using an inflatable
-tube structure.

-A long lull on habitable space inflatables followed

-a cylindrical inflatable ISS module ($13\,ft$ in length and $10\,ft$
-in diameter)- BEAM (Bigelow Expandable Activity Module)- in
-operation since 2016. The period between the GoodYear and TransHab
-inflatable space stations laid the foundations for today's dominant
-design of rigid space stations. In my eyes, this is a classic example
-of where simpler elegant solutions were traded in for ones that are more
-complex when we think about scale. For example, monolithic rigid stations were
-followed by the modular ones, like the ISS, that have required in-space
-assembly, mostly by astronauts, or propellant-intensive rendezvous
-and docking manoeuvres. Building on this, most future scalable designs I have seen
-purport the idea of robotic assembly. My recent learnings on inflatables suggest
-that the same outcome might be realised by a simpler single inflatable system though
-the development process will be less straightforward. The decision to focus
-only on rigid stations/modules for several decades has made these inflatable
-solutions a forgotten one; it appears that we threw out the baby with the bathwater.
-
-When I suggest this idea to people today, it seems a counterintuitive and
-potentially outrageous solution that exposes biases in thinking- even amongst
-experts who are, after all, only human. Firstly, there's a widespread belief
-that inflatable structures are less safe due to the risk of MMOD collisions.
-The incorrect analogy of balloons bursting is often mistakenly applied but
-modern designs incorporate multiple layers of high-strength materials that are
-remarkably resistant to punctures and could even self-heal. In fact, their
-flexibility could make them more resilient than rigid structures. Secondly,
-prevalence of robotics in automating human tasks has led to an assumption
-that the same approach is optimal everywhere: we see robots building cars
-and assume they should build space stations. But space presents unique
-challenges where simplicity is paramount. Inflatable structures have minimal
-mechanical complexity, reduce failure points, and simplify construction.
-Moreover, our terrestrial experience doesn't include living in inflatable
-habitats, making it non-obvious as a space solution. We're accustomed to rigid
-structures so cannot envision lightweight, expandable living spaces as
-a viable alternative. Yet, in the vacuum of space, these structures
-provide vast habitable areas with superior radiation shielding and
-thermal management. This insight has profound implications for future
-space missions. By embracing inflatable technologies, we can
-dramatically reduce launch costs, simplify construction processes,
-and create larger, more versatile space habitats than ever before.
-It's a reminder that in space engineering, sometimes the most effective
-solutions are those that challenge our Earth-biased intuitions.
-
-## Why is now a good time to return to inflatable space structures?
-There are probably many more reasons than I describe below as to why
-now{% sidenote 'robotics1'
-"Unlike was done with inflatables, we should maintain/increase support to
-mature in-space robotic assembly and maintenance technology development
-as I imagine that at even larger scales, a reliance on robots is inevitable."%}
-is a good time to revisit the GoodYear inflatable station idea{% sidenote 'robotics2' "In fact,
-such stations are just one application of inflatable
-technologies I see. They could totally transform space robotics by using pneumatic actuation
-for orbital applications thus eliminating the need for radiation-hardened components like
-joint motors- a pretty massive bottleneck in the development of space robotics."%}.
-
-The first has to do with the emerging promise of Starship, which is seeing frequent impressive
-tests. In contrast, when GoodYear was developing its concept, the
-[Saturn V](https://www.google.com/search?q=saturn+v+development+year)
-was still in early development and the GoodYear project might have been easy to kill; I imagine
-the Moon missions would have also led to a reallocation of resources and
-focus. Second, the impending retirement of the ISS means there is a window
-(or even a need) for a successor with a larger volume for both crew sizes
-and science output. Third, there will be eventually be more commercial users of a large
-inflatable orbital volume than space agencies; in-space manufacturing
-companies like Varda could use these stations to scale their drug manufacturing,
-with the beneficiaries being patients on Earth. Other avenues here are for materials
-science research and protein crystal growth (not my domain of expertise at all).
-If in-space semiconductor manufacturing in microgravity becomes a thing, then
-larger inflatable volumes would, again, answer the question of scaling.
-Similarly, sci-fi outcomes such as at-scale 3-D printing artificial organs
-would benefit those in need of hearts and lungs- demands that are not being met
-by the donor organ market.
-
-All of which is even before we consider making these
-stations rotate to produce an artificial gravity enabling safer long-haul
-journeys for astronaut crews
-heading to Mars or other locations away from the Earth{% sidenote 'hansen' "I am
-currently reading James Hansen's
-[_Spacefligth Revolution_](https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/sp-4308.pdf) that should
-help me a deeper perspective on inflatable space stations. Fun fact: another of his books was adapted into
-[First Man](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Man_(film)) with Ryan Gosling playing Neil Armstrong."%}.

-## Notes
-[^a]: I've only read a summary of Brick Moon, a story of workers building a 200-foot sphere that are accidentally launched into space to become first inhabitants of space. The moon was to serve as a navigational aid for sailors. It also estimates a cost for the construction at ${\$}250k$ using $12$ million bricks.

-Some edge cases and cautionary examples on using Markdown for writing content using this theme. In particular, list syntax can really knot things up.
-
-
-### Mathjax improperly parsing greater and less than and ampersands inside blocks
-
-The mathjax HTML `````` scripts have been modified to properly render block style mathjax expressions inside a ```$$ ... $$``` set of character pairs,
-using the standard Kramdown parser. Some examples sent to me by Quxiaofeng are now parsing correctly, I believe.
-
-This code:
-
-```latex
-$$
- D = \left(\begin{matrix}
- 1 & -1 & & & & \\
- & & \cdots & & \\
- & & & 1 & -1
- \end{matrix}
- \right)
-$$
-```
-yields this:
-
-$$
-D = \left(\begin{matrix}
- 1 & -1 & & & & \\
- & & \cdots & & \\
- & & & 1 & -1
-\end{matrix}
-\right)
-$$
-
-Other examples from the [wikia Tex reference](http://latex.wikia.com/wiki/Matrix_environments):
-
-$$
-\begin{matrix}
-\alpha& \beta^{*}\\
-\gamma^{*}& \delta
-\end{matrix}
-$$
-
-
-$$
-\begin{bmatrix}
-\alpha& \beta^{*}\\
-\gamma^{*}& \delta
-\end{bmatrix}
-$$
-
-$$
-\begin{Bmatrix}
-\alpha& \beta^{*}\\
-\gamma^{*}& \delta
-\end{Bmatrix}
-$$
-
-$$
-\begin{vmatrix}
-\alpha& \beta^{*}\\
-\gamma^{*}& \delta
-\end{vmatrix}
-$$
-
-$$
-\begin{Vmatrix}
-\alpha& \beta^{*}\\
-\gamma^{*}& \delta
-\end{Vmatrix}
-$$
-
-$$
-\begin{Vmatrix}
-\alpha& \beta^{*}\\
-\gamma^{*}& \delta
-\end{Vmatrix}
-$$
-
-However, a problem still exists for inline matrix notation, from an example [here](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Mathematics#Matrices_in_running_text):
-
-A matrix in text must be set smaller: $$ \bigl(\begin{smallmatrix}a & b \\ c & d\end{smallmatrix} \bigr) $$ to not increase leading in a portion of text. The way this inline matrix is written is: ```$$ \bigl(\begin{smallmatrix}a & b \\ c & d\end{smallmatrix} \bigr) $$```
-
-## Edge Case 1 from Quxiaofeng:
-
-### No blank lines between Markdown list items
-
-The issue arises when sidenotes and marginnotes are put into list items. As mentioned in the main documentation page, lists can be problematic not only for semantic clarity, but also because they can creating formatting issues. For example:
-
-### Related algorithms
-
-+ Split Bregman iteration {% sidenote 1 'Goldstein, T. and Osher, S. (2009). The split Bregman method for l1-regularized problems. SIAM J. Img. Sci., 2:323-343.' %}
-+ Dykstra's alternating projection algorithm {% sidenote 2 'Dykstra, R. L. (1983). An algorithm for restricted least squares regression. J. Amer. Statist. Assoc., 78(384):837-842.' %}
-+ Proximal point algorithm applied to the dual
-+ Numerous applications in statistics and machine learning: lasso, gen. lasso, graphical lasso, (overlapping) group lasso, ...
-+ Embraces distributed computing for big data {% sidenote 3 'Boyd, S., Parikh, N., Chu, E., Peleato, B., and Eckstein, J. (2011). Distributed optimization and statistical learning via the alternating direction method of multipliers. Found. Trends Mach. learn., 3(1):1-122.' %}
-
-### Why this matters
-
-Notice how the sidenotes display properly, but the fact that sidenotes have more display 'volume' than the list items themselves causes a horizontal mismatch between the sidenote item's number and its corresponding list item.
-
-Please note that there must be *no blank lines between your list items*. This is due to a really strange thing about the Jekyll Markdown engine I have never noticed before. If you have a list, and you put a blank line between the items like this:
-
-```
- + list item 1
-
- + list item 2
-```
-
-It will create an html tag structure like this:
-
-```
-
-
-
list item 1
-
-
-
list item 2
-
-
-```
-Which *totally* goofs up the layout CSS.
-
-However, if your Markdown is this:
-
-```
- + list item 1
- + list item 2
-```
-
-It will create a tag structure like this:
-
-```
-
-
list item 1
-
list item 2
-
-```
-
-Here is the same content as above, with a blank line separating the list items. Notice how the sidenotes get squashed into the main content area:
-
-
-### Remarks on ADMM version 2 - **one blank line** between Markdown list items
-
-Related algorithms
-
-+ Split Bregman iteration {% sidenote 1 'Goldstein, T. and Osher, S. (2009). The split Bregman method for l1-regularized problems. SIAM J. Img. Sci., 2:323-343.' %}
-
-+ Dykstra's alternating projection algorithm {% sidenote 2 'Dykstra, R. L. (1983). An algorithm for restricted least squares regression. J. Amer. Statist. Assoc., 78(384):837-842.' %}
-
-+ Proximal point algorithm applied to the dual
-
-+ Numerous applications in statistics and machine learning: lasso, gen. lasso, graphical lasso, (overlapping) group lasso, ...
-
-
-
-
-
-### Liquid tag parsing strangeness
-
-Example of the proper way to write an url inside a *Liquid* full-width image tag.
-
-This code: ```{{ '{% fullwidth "assets/imgs/rhino.png" "Tuftes pet rhino (via Edward Tufte)" ' }} %}```
-
-produces the following image with a title. Notice that I have had to escape the double quotes in the HTML with a backslash. Also, the example above leaves out the single quote in 'Tufte's" because of the topsy-turvy way that you have to escape the escapes in code sections that are used for illustrative purposes in this text. Bottom line is that there are occasionally some odd interactions between the Markdown parser, custom *Liquid* tags and HTML.
-{% fullwidth "assets/imgs/rhino.png" "Tufte's pet rhino (via Edward Tufte)" %}

-{% newthought 'The Tufte Jekyll theme' %} is an attempt to create a website design with the look and feel of Edward Tufte's books and handouts. Tufte’s style is known for its extensive use of sidenotes, tight integration of graphics with text, and well-set typography. The idea for this project is essentially cribbed wholesale from Tufte and R Markdown's Tufte Handout format{% sidenote 'One' 'See [tufte-latex.github.io/tufte-latex/](https://tufte-latex.github.io/tufte-latex/) and [rmarkdown.rstudio.com/tufte_handout_format](http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/tufte_handout_format.html)' %} This page is an adaptation of the [Tufte Handout PDF](http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/examples/tufte-handout.pdf).
-
-## Jekyll customizations
-
-This Jekyll blog theme is based on the github repository by Edward Tufte [here](https://github.com/edwardtufte/tufte-css), which was orginally created by Dave Leipmann, but is now labeled under Edward Tufte's moniker. I borrowed freely from the Tufte-CSS repo and have transformed many of the typographic and page-structural features into a set of custom Liquid tags that make creating content using this style much easier than writing straight HTML. Essentially, if you know markdown, and mix in a few custom Liquid tags, you can be creating a website with this document style in short order.
-
-The remainder of this sample post is a self-documenting survey of the features of the Tufte-Jekyll theme. I have taken almost all of the sample content from the [Tufte-css](https://github.com/edwardtufte/tufte-css) repo and embedded it here to illustrate the parity in appearence between the two. The additional verbiage and commentary I have added is to document the custom *Liquid* markup tags and other features that are bundled with this theme.
-
-### The SASS settings file
-
-I have taken much of the actual *Tufte-css* files and modified them as necessary to accomodate the needs inherent in creating a Jekyll theme that has additional writing aids such as the Liquid tags. I have also turned the CSS file into a [SASS](http://sass-lang.com) file (the .scss type). This means that you can alter things like font choices, text color, background color, and underlining style by changing values in this file. When the Jekyll site is built using ```jekyll build``` the settings in this file will be compiled into the customized CSS file that the site uses. If you don't use SCSS or SASS, you are missing out on a huge productivity tool.
-
-This file looks like this:
-
-```
-/* This file contains all the constants for colors and font styles */
-
-$body-font: ETBembo, Palatino, "Palatino Linotype", "Palatino LT STD", "Book Antiqua", Georgia, serif;
-// Note that Gill Sans is the top of the stack and corresponds to what is used in Tufte's books
-// However, it is not a free font, so if it is not present on the computer that is viewing the webpage
-// The free Google 'Lato' font is used instead. It is similar.
-$sans-font: "Gill Sans", "Gill Sans MT", "Lato", Calibri, sans-serif;
-$code-font: Consolas, "Liberation Mono", Menlo, Courier, monospace;
-$url-font: "Lucida Console", "Lucida Sans Typewriter", Monaco, "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", monospace;
-$text-color: #111;
-$bg-color: #fffff8;
-$contrast-color: #a00000;
-$border-color: #333333;
-$link-style: color; // choices are 'color' or 'underline'. Default is color using $contrast-color set above
-```
-Any of these values can be changed in the ```_sass/_settings.scss``` file before the site is built. The default values are the ones from *tufte-css*.
-
-## Fundamentals
-
-### Color
-
-Although paper handouts obviously have a pure white background, the web is better served by the use of slightly off-white and off-black colors. I picked ```#fffff8``` and ```#111111``` because they are nearly indistinguishable from their 'pure' cousins, but dial down the harsh contrast. Tufte's books are a study in spare, minimalist design. In his book [The Visual Display of Quantitative Information](http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_vdqi), he uses a red ink to add some visual punctuation to the buff colored paper and dark ink. In that spirit, links are styled using a similar red color.
-
-### Headings
-
-Tufte CSS uses ```
``` for the document title, ```
``` with class ```code``` for the document subtitle, ```
``` for section headings, and ```
``` for low-level headings. More specific headings are not encouraged. If you feel the urge to reach for a heading of level 4 or greater, consider redesigning your document:
-
-
-> [It is] notable that the Feynman lectures (3 volumes) write about all of physics in 1800 pages, using only 2 levels of hierarchical headings: chapters and A-level heads in the text. It also uses the methodology of *sentences* which then cumulate sequentially into *paragraphs*, rather than the grunts of bullet points. Undergraduate Caltech physics is very complicated material, but it didn’t require an elaborate hierarchy to organize.
-
-[http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0000hB](http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0000hB)
-
-
-As a bonus, this excerpt regarding the use of headings provides an example of using block quotes. Markdown does not have a native `````` shorthand, but real html can be sprinkled in with the Markdown text. In the previous example, the `````` was preceded with a single return after the quotation itself. The previous blockquote was written in Markdown thusly:
-
-```Liquid

-```
-
-
-
-{% newthought 'In his later books' %}{% sidenote 'two' '[http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_be](http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_be)'%}, Tufte starts each section with a bit of vertical space, a non-indented paragraph, and sets the first few words of the sentence in small caps. To accomplish this using this style, enclose the sentence fragment you want styled with small caps in a custom Liquid tag called 'newthought' like so:
-
-```Liquid
-{{ "{% newthought 'In his later books'" }} %}
-```
-
-### Text
-
-In print, Tufte uses the proprietary Monotype Bembo{% sidenote 3 'See Tufte’s comment in the [Tufte book fonts](http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0000Vt) thread.' %} font. A similar effect is achieved in digital formats with the now open-source ETBembo, which Tufte-Jekyll supplies with a ```@font-face``` reference to a .ttf file. Thanks to [Linjie Ding](https://github.com/daveliepmann/tufte-css/commit/0a810a7d5f4707941c6f9fe99a53ec41f50a5c00), italicized text uses the ETBembo Italic font instead of mechanically skewing the characters. In case ETBembo somehow doesn’t work, Tufte CSS degrades gracefully to other serif fonts like Palatino and Georgia. Notice that Tufte CSS includes separate font files for **bold** (strong) and *italic* (emphasis), instead of relying on the browser to mechanically transform the text. This is typographic best practice. It’s also really important. Thus concludes my unnecessary use of em and strong for the purpose of example.
-
-Code snippets ape GitHub's font selection using Microsoft's [*Consolas*](http://www.microsoft.com/typography/ClearTypeFonts.mspx) and the sans-serif font uses Tufte's choice of Gill Sans. Since this is not a free font, and some systems will not have it installed, the free google font [*Lato*](https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Lato) is designated as a fallback.

Epigraphs
-
-{% epigraph 'The English language . . . becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.' 'George Orwell' ' "Politics and the English Language" ' %}
-
-{% epigraph 'For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.' 'Richard P. Feynman' ' “What Do You Care What Other People Think?” ' %}
-
-
-
-If you’d like to introduce your page or a section of your page with some quotes, use epigraphs. The two examples above show how they are styled. Epigraph elements are modeled after chapter epigraphs in Tufte’s books (particularly *Beautiful Evidence*). The [Tufte-css](https://github.com/edwardtufte/tufte-css) gitub repository has detailed instructions on how to achieve this using HTML elements. As an easier alternative, the *Tufte-jekyll* theme uses custom *Liquid tag* pairs that allow the writer to embed elements such as epigraphs in the middle of the regular Markdown text being edited.
-
-In order to use an epigraph in a page or section, type this:
-
-```{{ "{% epigraph 'text of citation' 'author of citation' 'citation source' "}} %}```
-
-to produce this:
-
-{% epigraph 'I do not paint things, I paint only the differences between things.' 'Henri Matisse' 'Henri Matisse Dessins: thèmes et variations, 1943' %}
-
-{% epigraph ' "How did you go bankrupt?" Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.' 'Ernest Hemingway' ' "The Sun Also Rises" '%}
-
-### Lists
-
-Tufte points out that while lists have valid uses, they tend to promote ineffective writing habits due to their “lack of syntactic and intellectual discipline”. He is particularly critical of hierarchical and bullet-pointed lists. So before reaching for an HTML list element, ask yourself:
-
-* Does this list actually have to be represented using an HTML ul or ol element?
-* Would my idea be better expressed as sentences in paragraphs?
-* Is my message causally complex enough to warrant a flow diagram instead?
-
-This is but a small subset of a proper overview of the topic of lists in communication. A better way to understand Tufte’s thoughts on lists would be to read “The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint: Pitching Out Corrupts Within,” a chapter in Tufte’s book *Beautiful Evidence*, excerpted at some length by Tufte himself [on his website](http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0002QF). The whole piece is information-dense and therefore difficult to summarize. He speaks to web design specifically, but in terms of examples and principles rather than as a set of simple do-this, don’t-do-that prescriptions. It is well worth reading in full for that reason alone.
-
-For these reasons, Tufte CSS encourages caution before reaching for a list element, and by default removes the bullet points from unordered lists.
-
-## Figures
-
-### Margin Figures
-
-{% marginfigure 'mf-id-1' 'assets/imgs/rhino.png' 'F.J. Cole, “The History of Albrecht Dürer’s Rhinoceros in Zoological Literature,” *Science, Medicine, and History: Essays on the Evolution of Scientific Thought and Medical Practice* (London, 1953), ed. E. Ashworth Underwood, 337-356. From page 71 of Edward Tufte’s *Visual Explanations*.' %}
-
-Images and graphics play an integral role in Tufte’s work. To place figures in the margin, use the custom margin figure liquid tag included in the ```_plugins``` directory like so:
-
-```{{ "{% marginfigure 'mf-id-whatever' 'assets/imgs/rhino.png' 'F.J. Cole, “The History of Albrecht Dürer’s Rhinoceros in Zoological Literature,” *Science, Medicine, and History: Essays on the Evolution of Scientific Thought and Medical Practice* (London, 1953), ed. E. Ashworth Underwood, 337-356. From page 71 of Edward Tufte’s *Visual Explanations*.' "}} %}```.
-
-Note that this tag has *three* parameters. The first is an arbitrary id. This parameter can be named anything as long as it is unique to this post. The second parameter is the path to the image. And the final parameter is whatever caption you want to be displayed with the figure. All parameters *must* be enclosed in quotes for this simple liquid tag to work!
-
-In this example, the *Liquid* marginfigure tag was inserted *before* the paragraph so that it aligns with the beginning of the paragraph. On small screens, the image will collapse into a small symbol: ⊕ at the location it has been inserted in the manuscript. Clicking on it will open the image.
-
-### Full Width Figures
-
-If you need a full-width image or figure, another custom liquid tag is available to use. Oddly enough, it is named 'fullwidth', and this markup:
-
-```{{ "{% fullwidth 'assets/imgs/napoleons-march.png' 'Napoleon's March *(Edward Tufte’s English translation)*' "}} %}```
-
-Yields this:
-
-{% fullwidth 'assets/imgs/napoleons-march.png' "Napoleon's March *(Edward Tufte’s English translation)*" %}
-
-
-### Main Column Figures
-
-Besides margin and full width figures, you can of course also include figures constrained to the main column. Yes, you guessed it, a custom liquid tag rides to the rescue once again:
-
-```{{ "{% maincolumn 'assets/img/export-imports.png' 'From Edward Tufte, *Visual Display of Quantitative Information*, page 92' "}} %}```
-
-yields this:
-
-{% maincolumn "assets/imgs/exports-imports.png" "From Edward Tufte, *Visual Display of Quantitative Information*, page 92" %}
-
-## Sidenotes and Margin notes
-
-One of the most prominent and distinctive features of Tufte's style is the extensive use of sidenotes and margin notes. Perhaps you have noticed their use in this document already. You are very astute.
-
-There is a wide margin to provide ample room for sidenotes and small figures. There exists a slight semantic distinction between *sidenotes* and *marginnotes*.
-
-### Sidenotes
-
-Sidenotes{% sidenote 'sn-id-whatever' 'This is a sidenote and *displays a superscript*'%} display a superscript. The *sidenote* Liquid tag contains two components. The first is an identifier allowing the sidenote to be targeted by the twitchy index fingers of mobile device users so that all the yummy sidenote goodness is revealed when the superscript is tapped. The second components is the actual content of the sidenote. Both of these components should be enclosed in single quotes. Note that we are using the CSS 'counter' trick to automagically keep track of the number sequence on each page or post. On small screens, the sidenotes disappear and when the superscript is clicked, a side note will open below the content, which can then be closed with a similar click. Here is the markup for the sidenote at the beginning of this paragraph:
-
-```{{ "{% sidenote 'sn-id-whatever' 'This is a sidenote and *displays a superscript*'" }}%}```
-
-### Margin notes
-
-Margin notes{% marginnote 'mn-id-whatever' 'This is a margin note *without* a superscript' %} are similar to sidenotes, but do not display a superscript. The *marginnnote* Liquid tags has the same two components as the *sidenote* tag. Anything can be placed in a margin note. Well, anything that is an inline element. Block level elements can make the Kramdown parser do strange things. On small screens, the margin notes disappear and this symbol: ⊕ pops up. When clicked, it will open the margin note below the content, which can then be closed with a similar click. The Markdown content has a similar sort of markup as a sidenote, but without a number involved:
-
-```{{ "{% marginnote 'mn-id-whatever' 'This is a margin note *without* a superscript'" }} %}```
-

-The Markdown parser being used by this Jekyll theme is Kramdown, which contains some built-in [Mathjax](//www.mathjax.org) support. Both inline and block-level mathematical figures can be added to the content.
-
-For instance, the following inline sequence:
-
-*When $$ a \ne 0 $$, there are two solutions to $$ ax^2 + bx + c = 0 $$*
-
-is written by enclosing a Mathjax expression within *a matching pair of double dollar signs: ```$$```*:
-
-```When $$ a \ne 0 $$, there are two solutions to $$ ax^2 + bx + c = 0 $$```
-
-Similarly, this block-level Mathjax expression:
-
-$$ x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a} $$
-
-is written by enclosing the expression within a pair of ```$$``` with an empty line above and below:
-
-```$$ x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a} $$```
-
-
-You can get pretty fancy, for instance, the wave equation's nabla is no big thing:
-
-$$ \frac{\partial^2 y}{\partial t^2}= c^2\nabla^2u $$
-
-
-All of the standard LaTeX equation markup is available to use inside these block tags.
-
-Please note that the block-level Mathjax expressions *must* be on their own line, separated from content above and below the block by a blank line for the Kramdown parser and the Mathjax javascript to play nicely with one another.
-
-The Mathjax integration is tricky, and some things such as the inline matrix notation simply do not work well unless allowances are made for using the notation for a small matrix. Bottom line: If you are using this to document mathematics, be super careful to isolate your LaTeX blocks by blank lines!
-
-## Tables
-
-Tables are, frankly, a pain in the ass to create. That said, they often are one of the best methods for presenting data. Tabular data are normally presented with right-aligned numbers, left-aligned text, and minimal grid lines.
-
-Note that when writing Jekyll Markdown content, there will often be a need to get some dirt under your fingernails and stoop to writing a little honest-to-god html. Yes, all that hideous ```
....
``` nonsense. *And* you must wrap the unholy mess in a ```
``` tag to ensure that the table stays centered in the main content column.
-
-Tables are designed with an ```overflow:scroll``` property to create slider bars when the viewport is narrow. This is so that you do not collapse all your beautiful data into a jumble of letters and numbers when you view it on your smartphone.

-This is not the One True Table. Such a style does not exist. One must craft each data table with custom care to the narrative one is telling with that specific data. So take this not as “the table style to use”, but rather as “a table style to start from”. From here, use principles to guide you: avoid chartjunk, optimize the data-ink ratio (“within reason”, as Tufte says), and “mobilize every graphical element, perhaps several times over, to show the data.{% sidenote 'table-id' 'Page 139, *The Visual Display of Quantitative Information*, Edward Tufte 2001.'%} Furthermore, one must know when to reach for more complex data presentation tools, like a custom graphic or a JavaScript charting library.
-
-As an example of alternative table styles, academic publications written in LaTeX often rely on the ```booktabs``` package to produce clean, clear tables. Similar results can be achieved in Tufte CSS with the ```booktabs``` class, as demonstrated in this table:
-
-{% marginnote 'table-2-id' '*Table 2*: A table with booktabs style formatting' %}

-{% newthought 'I like this style of table,' %} so I have made it the default for unstyled tables. This allows use of the [*Markdown Extra*](https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/) features built into the [*Kramdown*](http://kramdown.gettalong.org/parser/kramdown.html) parser. Here is a table created using the Markdown Extra table syntax to make a nice table which has the side benefit of being human readable in the raw Markdown file:
-
-{% marginnote 'tableID-3' 'Table 3: a table created with *Markdown Extra* markup using only the default table styling' %}
-
-| |mpg | cyl | disp | hp | drat | wt |
-|:----------------|----:|-----:|-------:|-------:|-------:|----:|
-|Mazda RX4 |21 |6 |160 |110 |3.90 |2.62 |
-|Mazda RX4 Wag |21 |6 |160 |110 |3.90 |2.88 |
-|Datsun 710 |22.8 |4 |108 |93 |3.85 |2.32 |
-|Hornet 4 Drive |21.4 |6 |258 |110 |3.08 |3.21 |
-|Hornet Sportabout|18.7 |8 |360 |175 |3.15 |3.44 |
-|Valiant |18.1 |6 |160 |105 |2.76 |3.46 |
-
-
-Using the following Markdown formatting:
-
-```
-| |mpg | cyl | disp | hp | drat | wt |
-|:----------------|----:|-----:|-------:|-------:|-------:|----:|
-|Mazda RX4 |21 |6 |160 |110 |3.90 |2.62 |
-|Mazda RX4 Wag |21 |6 |160 |110 |3.90 |2.88 |
-|Datsun 710 |22.8 |4 |108 |93 |3.85 |2.32 |
-etc...
-```
-
-The following is a more simple table, showing the Markdown-style table markup. Remember to label the table with a *marginnote* Liquid tag, and you *must* separate the label from the table with a single blank line. This markup:
-
-```
-{{ "{% marginnote 'Table-ID4' 'Table 4: a simple table showing left, center, and right alignment of table headings and data' "}} %}
-
-|**Left** |**Center**|**Right**|
-|:--------|:--------:|--------:|
- Aardvarks| 1|$3.50
- Cat| 5 |$4.23
- Dogs |3 |$5.29
-```
-
-Yields this table:
-
-{% marginnote 'Table-ID4' 'Table 4: a simple table showing left, center, and right alignment of table headings and data' %}
-
-|**Left** |**Center**|**Right**|
-|:--------|:--------:|--------:|
- Aardvarks| 1|$3.50
- Cat| 5 |$4.23
- Dogs |3 |$5.29
-
-
-## Code
-
-Code samples use a monospace font using the 'code' class. The Kramdown parser has the 'GFM' option enabled, which stands for 'Github Flavored Markdown', and this means that both inline code such as ```#include ``` and blocks of code can be delimited by surrounding them with 3 backticks:
-
-```
-(map tufte-style all-the-things)
-```
-is created by the following markup:
-
```(map tufte-style all-the-things)```
-
-To get the code highlighted in the language of your choice like so:
-
-
-``` ruby
-module Jekyll
- class RenderFullWidthTag < Liquid::Tag
- require "shellwords"
-
- def initialize(tag_name, text, tokens)
- super
- @text = text.shellsplit
- end
-
- def render(context)
- "
" +
- "
#{@text[1]}
"
- end
- end
-end
-
-Liquid::Template.register_tag('fullwidth', Jekyll::RenderFullWidthTag)
-```
-
-Enclose the code block in three backticks, followed by a space and then the language name, like this:
-
-
+
+ ![](\"../assets/imgs/AssemblyOfRim.png\")
\n",
- "![](\"../assets/imgs/CondenserPipesInstallation.png\")
\n",
- "
- 
"+
- "
"+
- "
