I recently partnered with two authors to continue my financial, technical, and technological critique of deep seafloor mining (DSM). I continue to believe that the non-environmental aspects will make it fail. Technology has moved on from making it viable. innovationzero.com/zeroin/de…

NASA and SpaceX have completed the Launch Readiness Review for #EuropaClipper and we are GO for launch! 🚀 Beyond Earth, Jupiter’s moon Europa is considered one of the solar system’s most promising, potentially habitable environments. After an approximately 1.8 billion-mile journey, Europa Clipper will enter orbit around Jupiter in April 2030, where the spacecraft will conduct a detailed survey of Europa to determine whether the icy world could have conditions suitable for life. Liftoff of the Falcon Heavy is scheduled for Oct 14 at 12:06 pm EDT from LC 39A at @NASAKennedy.

"It's didn't look too bad". That's because we haven't had access. This morning I got over to Manasota Key and discovered the most catastrophic damage from Milton yet. Lots of homes obliterated. Video below. #Milton youtu.be/L_6XJr3cilc

Finally got through to my parents who were in the eye of the storm. Thankful they are safe and cared for. Hang in there Florida.

Hurricane #Milton hit Florida’s west coast, particularly Siesta Key Island near Sarasota, leaving at least two people dead. It destroyed 125 homes and cut power to over 2,500 households. In St. Petersburg, strong winds damaged the Tropicana Field stadium’s roof. The hurricane weakened before landfall, dropping from category five to one.

The 2024 Noble Prize in physics has been awarded to Cillian Murphy and Margot Robbie for the Barbenheimer effect. This phenomenon, involving the superposition of two very attractive people, allows physics to become interesting, a state which is otherwise spin-forbidden.
