I’m going to speak on August 1 at the Westport Island Town Hall on “The challenges of landing on the Moon.” If you will be near midcoast Maine, please join us! 1217 Main Rd, Westport Island, ME 04578

Approaching the singularity?

I remember as a kid watching a lawn sprinkler spray the sidewalk and noting that no matter how long the sprinkler had been running there would always be a few drops landing on the sidewalk farther out than any had gone before. I thought it remarkable, and I still think about it.

Every year when we arrive at my 93-year old mom’s cabin in Maine she greets us in some random costume. This year she was dressed as a biker (with temporary tattoos). 😂😂😂

On June 5th, we gathered with a global community to witness the ispace RESILIENCE Lunar Lander’s attempt to land on the Moon. Despite the outcome, that day brought together leaders and innovators across the space ecosystem. This video captures the unity and determination

I dunno. It behaves like it has too much shear strength (maintaining shape as it twists and as it impacts the ground) to be a condensation of water vapor or gas. I think it might be a foam since foams can transmit mechanical shear stress.

“However, high-skilled Americans would be forced to compete with them.” I don’t think that is really a problem because innovation and tech advancement are open-ended, not a zero-sum game. More builders creates more synergy and more opportunity for all builders.

Yep. “Talk of putting data centers in space is growing more serious, says CNBC”

There’ve been decades of progress stopping Foreign Object Debris (FOD) in aviation. Imagine landing a human-class lander on the Moon or Mars where the entire surface is nothing but FOD. It is crazy to think of routine planetary missions without landing pads.

I love deer moss. At the northern tip of Westport Island, Maine.

Still trying to use Grok 3 for coding a physics problem. It is like 99% accurate but not usable for debugging hard problems in the 1%. It can only find simple syntax problems. Most of my progress has been from me telling Grok better troubleshooting steps than what it suggests😮‍💨
