I’ve been seeing a lot of nasa posts about enclosing jwst in its faring. Just wondering when the last time human eyes will be able to see it directly?
Anyone know?
By the time they gave my eyes back to me they no longer worked
In other words, how does the Mk1 eyeball compare to ISR platforms, sensors, and equipment? Obviously anyone can look up stuff like "What wavelengths do human eyes see in?", but has any military study literally tried to evaluate how good the human eye is as a battlefield sensor or tried to compare it to technology? How do our eyeballs fare in things like range, resolution, ability to see through obstructions, ability to perceive movement, and so on?
For purposes of this post, we'll also consider the Mk1 eyeball's characteristics along with its platform (the human body as a whole) and its software/hardware package (the human brain and the training it's received).
Anyway, would it be superlative (i.e. best in its category) in any particular characteristic? I imagine that given that a trained human brain is processing the images, the Mk1 is probably up there in things like target recognition, terrain navigation, and IFF, but I'm open to other ideas, as well as hope there's actually been military research on this.
A Terran, a Martian, a Venusian, and a Mercurian walk into a bar.
"Mars bars," Mark, the Terran, said to himself, and chuckled quietly at his own joke.
"Hmm?" R'nn, the Martian, said. "There are no bars on Mars. Drinking in public was strictly prohibited there."
"He's making a joke," Aphro, the Venusian, said, while twiddling her long, thick, white hair, reminiscent of tendrils. "It's a chocolate bar here on Earth."
Mark's chuckles continued to grow.
"Chocolate," R'nn rubbed his green chin, his red eyes narrowing in contemplation. "I don't know if I've tried that."
"Don't bother," grumbled Tet, the Mercurian, whose colourful, amorphous form shifted to black. "Only human taste buds can find that garbage interesting."
"Seriously, Mark," said Aphro. "You need to stop laughing. It's a very dumb joke."
"Alright, alright," Mark stifled his ongoing laughter. "I'll buy the next round, alright? As recompense."
The other three agreed readily, and soon found themselves at a quiet table with cheap, plentiful beer. Tet's body shifted slightly to reveal a pack of cigarettes, deftly picking out a stick and striking it against his own body to ignite it.
"Now this," Tet sighed, exhaling a cloud of smoke. "This is a human invention I can get behind."
"You all benefit from human inventions," Mark said. "It's why you are here on Earth."
"I'm here on Earth because of the substantial tax breaks they give to intergalactic visitors," Aphro said. "A lot of them are very stupid. Like your jokes."
"Yes," R'nn said. "I would never try proposing to my husband with a diamond, for example. Diamond! Now that's a real joke."
"Hey," Mark said, placing his hand over his chest and wincing jokingly--though there was a semblance of real pain. "I spent a month's salary on it. Stop chiding me about it."
"I will never understand why a good old eyeball doesn't cut it here," Tet said in between intermittent puffs of black smoke and unadulterated pleasure borne from a nicotine high.
"They don't replace eyeballls like we do," said Aphro soothingly. "But still, I wouldn't give up my eyeball. I need all seven of them, thank you very much."
"You just said they grow back," chided Tet.
"In a very long, slow, and painful process," the Venusian trilled. "Something I would like to avoid, thank you very much."
"This is supposed to be a celebration of my engagement," Mark said. "Please stop talking about eyeballs."
"Are eyeballs edible?" muttered R'nn.
This prompted a disgusted look from M

Eye floaters ruining my life
Aren’t both displays bright and absolutely stunning?
I really just need power and RAM.
I have an external 4k monitor anyway.
What would the texture be like?
