The human race has been repaid many times over for that investment, as it has for many other NASA projects. Scott Kelly recently completed a historic Year in Space, spending 340 consecutive days aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to help NASA study how the human body reacts to long-duration spaceflight-a study that will be invaluable in preparing for any missions to Mars. This will be the last post here with images unless a moderator tells me to go ahead and keep posting. In addition to his continued work in IT, Posey has spent the last several years actively training as a commercial scientist-astronaut candidate in preparation to fly on a mission to study polar mesospheric clouds from space. Dan Hartman, the program manager for Gateway, on 30 March 2020, told Ars Technica that the benefits of using Gateway are extending the mission duration, buying down risk, providing research capability and the capability to re-use ascent modules.

Orbit Pavilion is the brainchild of Dan Goods and David Delgado, visual strategists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory who worked in collaboration with composer Shane Myrbeck and architect Jason Klimoski of StudioKCA. Before committing to a home office layout, consider who needs to use the space and how they need to use it. Use a few to spruce up your storage set-up, and keep your favorite reference books at the ready in case you need to check them throughout the workday. Your home office shouldn’t just be easy on the eyes-it should also be easy to use. When designing your home office, you want to keep your space neat, tidy, and distraction-free, and streamlining your finishes can be a great way to do this. According to Morris, “making clear homes” for your go-tos can go a long way. From the Info tab, users can access revisions of currently open Excel, PowerPoint, and Word documents, as well as the latest unsaved version of a document that was previously closed.

While data won’t be transferred, metadata (demographics of search terms, types of data, etc) may well be. She recommends mixing and matching different fixtures to add function and flexibility to your space-and a little style, as well. And well-designed desk accessories can add function and form to your space in equal measure. Turn a low-hanging shelf into a workspace, or sneak a desk underneath a window. “I love incorporating gorgeous solutions that sneak in office needs,” Morris says. “We love giving offices many purposes by creating lounge spaces,” Curtis says. Lounging and working may seem like polar opposites, but many home offices benefit from a built-in lounge area. Microsoft won’t deliberately prevent you from connecting to the service, but the quality of your Microsoft 365 experience may diminish over time. You should also connect to the Internet regularly to keep your version of Microsoft 365 up to date and to benefit from automatic upgrades. To reactivate your apps, simply reconnect to the Internet. Internet access is required to install and activate all the latest releases of apps and services included in all Microsoft 365 subscription plans. For Microsoft 365 plans, Internet access is also needed to manage your subscription account, for example to install Office apps on other PCs or to change billing options.

In our solar system, dwarf planets are mostly found in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune; Pluto is the best-known example. Note that if you are an existing subscriber, you do not need to reinstall or purchase another subscription. If you need to share the space with others, be sure to leave room for them to comfortably join you any time they need to. “Spend a little time testing the best place for your desk to be, considering views, lighting, and how people come into the room, Moyer notes. And with a little creativity, you can stick a desk just about anywhere. “I prefer to select the loveliest view of the room and orient the desk facing that way,” Betsy Moyer, co-founder and interior designer at Retreat, says. “I find that having my back to the door-with perhaps a lovely view of my favorite curtains against a beautiful paint or wallpaper backdrop-is really how I want to stare off into space when I brainstorm the next big idea,” she adds. If you do not connect to the Internet at least every 31 days, your apps will go into reduced functionality mode, which means that you can view or print your documents but cannot edit the documents or create new ones.
