Cis-splaning

When a cis person explains something to a trans person that they already know or explains trans issues to a trans person, when they (the cis person) themselves don't know what they're talking about, because well they're cis and don't experience trans issues.
"I'm not transphobic, transphobia is the fear of trans people, and being trans gender is due to a mental disorder called gender dysphoria"
"You're taking the word transphobic out of context, being trans isn't a mental illness and the treatment for gender dysphoria is transitioning, you're such a cis-splainer, stop cis-splaning"

Deep Resource Scanning

The use of advanced remote sensing technologies—like muon tomography, quantum gravimetry, or deep-penetrating radar—to map and identify valuable mineral, aqueous, or energy resources buried kilometers beneath a planet's or moon's surface. It's the high-tech equivalent of X-ray vision for entire landscapes, allowing prospectors to "see" ore deposits, groundwater aquifers, or geothermal pockets without digging a single hole. This is the critical first step for any large-scale off-world mining or colony site selection.
Example: Before establishing a Mars base, a fleet of orbiters and rovers would perform Deep Resource Scanning to pinpoint the exact location of subsurface water-ice deposits, saving a colony from drilling a dozen dry holes. On an asteroid, such scanning could map the internal veins of platinum-group metals before sending in mining drones.
