I recently started a Kotlin for Android course (highly recommended), which led me to create my first application for that platform.
It turns out that in my hometown (Bahia Blanca), in my neighborhood, there are many elderly people, so I decided to code a phone dialer application with large numbers, few buttons, and defined colors so they could at least communicate more easily. The application is translated into English and Spanish and contains very little text.
Since it could be useful, even for someone with vision or memory problems, here's the link to my GitHub repository so you can test the application and see if it's helpful.

You can find the Kotlin + Android course I'm taking here:
https://developer.android.com/kotlin/campaign/learn
If all goes well, and I improve it progressively, it will be available on Google Play and F-Droid next year 2026.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this, and sorry for the spam.

Does anybody have links to any old-school orbital logistics posters such as this one?
This particular one's from the paper on "Space Colonies" by the stanford university. I'm mostly after stylistic inspiration, not so much the system displayed, so I'm not looking for the modern rendered ones, and much less for those that seemed to have jumped out of powerpoint. I realize that images of this kind are very hard to find standalone, but to find them in PDFs, you have to know that they're there...

I think something that comes close to that existed in a NASA publication of the mid 80s.... what was the project... Orbital Transfer Vehicle? Yes, the term is the right one, but I can't find the logistics concept drawing quickly.

Thanks! Based on this I dug this out, it's got something similar on page 1-2, is that what you had in mind?

No, I had even seen a better one, that described how the Space Station in LEO and the tugs were connected to a lunar outpost.
Maybe somebody even made a 1990s style infographics poster of that one.

We should build something like that in Germany for Sigmund Jähn. 
He was the first German in space, right at the time I was born.
And we would fulfill the (sarcastic) prophecy of a song of the German acapella band "Die Prinzen".

There is/was something somewhat similar in Paris in a small park not too far from the Eiffel. If I manage to find the photos, I'll post them. Built out of concrete, but space-related.

I wish more people back then would have read this study project work of a future (highly controversial) SACEUR.... "The tank is dead - long live the tank" (2.4 MB pdf).
