I can’t believe there’s a shark that can live over 500 years old.. oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/…

Amazing job to spark a much needed global panic about this.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

In just a few hours, four human beings will climb into a rocket and do something no one has done in 52 years. Roughly 3/4's of everyone alive on Earth right now has only ever known a reality where the Moon was something that happened in black-and-white footage from our grandparents’ time. Until tonight. This is @NASAArtemis. The crew is @astro_reid @AstroVicGlover @Astro_Christina @Astro_Jeremy; the first woman, first Canadian & the first person of colour ever to fly beyond low Earth orbit. Whatever you think about America, its politics, its problems, its noise, there is one truth that remains: when humanity decides to reach for the stars, the United States still leads like no other country on Earth. “Shoot for the Moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” It isn’t just about going to the Moon. It’s about reminding ourselves who we really are as a species when we choose to dream bigger than our divisions.

NASA is spending $20 billion (£15.5 billion) to build a permanent lunar base, habitats, nuclear power station, rovers, landing pads, the full infrastructure to actually live and work on the Moon. For about the same money, the UK could build roughly 50–80 km of HS2 high-speed rail. That gets you from London partway to Milton Keynes… still less than a third of the way to Birmingham. Make it make sense! 🤔

Anyone else think an application fee of $1K and "pay the other $749K if selected" is kind of ridiculous? What is the point in that? Why not just take the full $750K from people that can actually afford it and refund if not selected? @virgingalactic

In 2 days, four humans will leave low Earth orbit and fly around the Moon, the first time any human has done so in 52 years. This crew includes the first woman and the first person of colour ever to fly beyond low Earth orbit. Whatever your politics, it’s hard to deny that the foundation for this mission was laid during President Trump’s first term. The @NASAArtemis, the Accords, creation of @USSpaceForce and the sustained commitment to return to the Moon all started then. #ArtemisII #NASA (📸 @johnkrausphotos)

Next week, four human beings will leave Earth and fly around the Moon; the first time in 52 years. While the world argues over politics, money, and daily chaos, something truly historic is happening. This isn’t just another launch. It’s humanity remembering we’re capable of something bigger than our divisions. It’s proof that we can still come together and do hard, beautiful, awe-inspiring things. @NASAArtemis should be the biggest story on Earth right now. This moment belongs to all of us. It’s bigger than any one country, any one argument, any one headline. This is about who we are, and who we can still become. #ArtemisII #NASA

The goal is not just to reach the Moon, but to stay. 🌘
To return Americans to the Moon, NASA is shifting to an iterative, execution-focused approach – just as we did during Apollo.
We are standardizing rocket architecture, embedding NASA expertise across industry, and increasing launch cadence to support sustained lunar operations.
We are sending a demand signal for crewed missions beyond Artemis V, with at least two providers capable of bringing astronauts to the surface every 6 months.
The goal is not just to reach the Moon, but to stay.
America will never give up the Moon again.

Just saw Project Hail Mary, super fun movie, loved the energy and Gosling carrying it. But early trailers I saw gave ZERO hint about Rocky. Went in blind (no book read) expecting Interstellar-level hard sci-fi... got full Marvel buddy vibes really quick. Was I the only one caught off guard? No spoilers but damn, surprise factor worked. Thoughts? #ProjectHailMary @projecthailmary
