I thought I’d posted this, but we’ve lost a giant of math, physics, philosophy and space. Condolences to Esther and the rest of the family. I just saw her at the space transportation conference a few weeks ago.
From over two decades ago, here’s an interview of him by Stewart Brand.
Lots of comments over at Instapundit.
I think that the book had been done before, but the new version sounds pretty good. It’s supposed to be a rainy day tomorrow (something that has been far too rare in what is supposed to be the wettest month in southern California), so maybe we’ll go see it. The scenery from the trailers looks like it would be spectacular on a big screen.
Get ready for a rough ride.
We’ve built an amazing global economy, but it is insufficiently resilient.
I was introduced to Allison a couple years ago, but only briefly. I really only got to know her a few days ago, at a Foresight event on lunar governance. I hadn’t realized that she was so interested in space.
Anyway, she is a brilliant and very charismatic young woman, as this video demonstrates.
I hope they’re over. We’ve migrated to a new server, on a new OS (from FreeBSD to CentOS, for those who care), and there were I/O and corrupt database issues on the old machine. This should be more modern, with few(er) glitches.
…is being resurrected?
BoJo and Cummings are going to be the most aggressive promoters of UK space in history.
…is destroying the planet. But, hey, at least it’s terrible for you, nutritionally.
I suspect that reusing bags is causing a lot more health issues than people realize.
No, there is no scientific reason to think that plant-based diets are healthier than meat-based ones, or healthy at all.
Huh.
This is the first time I’d heard of this guy.
