Mars = Manifest Destiny 2.0

Starlink jumping to $175 a month sucks but the new standby price is crazy

Every few decades there is a startup that redefines what is possible. SpaceX for launch, OpenAI for AI. Extracting energy from the quantum vacuum is one such company - if successful, this is a $100T outcome that changes the course of history only at @deeptechweek

1.6 to 1.9 million viable fertilized IVF human embryos are created every year in the US - yet fewer than 100,000 are brought to term. They are technically alive and in stasis. A single Starship can easily hold all of them.

Scientists engineered “unsinkable” metal tubes by making ordinary metal superhydrophobic—so water can’t penetrate even when punctured or submerged.

In case you haven’t worked it out yet… • SpaceX and Blue Origin are the railroads. • The moon is the Louisiana purchase, Mars is the West Coast. • AI is the pioneers, and your kids and grandkids are the settlers. People ask… “But what is the business case for space?” The answer is “America”

I got emotional during this. Hard to explain why but it's somehow related to this deep desire we/I have to for humans to explore the universe and find out why we exist and how we relate to the rest of the universe. The scale of what SpaceX is doing - physically and mentally and emotionally - is just so inspiring to me.

we got wireless gene editing before GTA6

Thank you, @elonmusk - the four of us glimpsed the red hues of Mars far in the distance as the sun slipped behind the Moon and there was zero doubt in our minds that the creative genius of our greatest minds will have us there very soon. LETS GO

STUNNING🚨: Artemis II crew captured a stunning image of Earth this morning from 41,000 miles away. The first time since 1972 that humans have seen a crescent Earth in full.

📡 NASA documented the transmission of longitudinal electrostatic waves through solid dielectrics. It's on pages 404-407 of a 1999 conference publication. Nobody talks about it. The Breakthrough Propulsion Physics (BPP) program at NASA Lewis Research Center documented signals propagating through glass and Plexiglas with LESS dispersion than through air. The waves carried no associated magnetic field. They were detected through closed wooden doors at distances of several meters. In standard electrodynamics, electromagnetic waves always carry a magnetic field. Transverse EM waves can't do what these waves did. There is no mechanism in the standard theory for a longitudinal electric wave without B. Extended Electrodynamics has a mechanism. The scalar-longitudinal mode predicted by the Stueckelberg Lagrangian carries a longitudinal E field and the scalar field C but no B field. Because it has no B, it doesn't induce eddy currents. No eddy currents means no skin-effect attenuation. It penetrates conductive barriers that block all standard EM. The enhanced transmission through dielectrics is a specific prediction: a longitudinal mode coupling to the electric polarizability of the medium would experience reduced dispersion. Exactly the observed signature. Hively's US Patent 9,306,527 reports consistent results: scalar-longitudinal wave transmission through Faraday enclosures, reception by monopolar antennas, 1/r² free-space attenuation instead of the 1/r characteristic of transverse radiation. These results have not been independently replicated. But the mathematical framework is not speculative: EED uses the Stueckelberg Lagrangian structure, but its scalar field C is dynamical and irremovable, unlike the standard Stueckelberg compensating scalar which is pure gauge. Woodside proved the uniqueness of this extension. Anomalous results documented by credible institutions, consistent with a theoretical framework that mainstream physics excludes by convention, not by proof. The Lorenz gauge doesn't just simplify equations. It renders an entire class of phenomena invisible to the formalism. Pages 404-407 of NASA/CP-1999-208694. The Stueckelberg derivation and uniqueness proof are in Section 4.3 of my paper "The Deleted Degrees of Freedom." Free, open access. Pinned on my profile.

New paper accepted in Physical Review Research (APS): “Emergent Quantization from a Dynamic Vacuum.” We show the hydrogen spectrum emerges from dynamic vacuum physics, suggesting quantization may arise from a vacuum that varies in space and time. journals.aps.org/prresearch/… #physics

Plasma actuators reducing drag on a car By ionizing air along the surface, plasma controls the boundary layer and cuts turbulence. The same tech can be used on aircraft wings to delay stall, reduce drag, and improve lift, reshaping aerodynamics with no moving parts.

Plasma strips on wings cut drag 74% & viscous drag 62-80% with 1100% power savings (more speed = more gain). No need to cover whole plane just spot them smartly. Hypersonic flight tests (Mach 3-8) coming 2027 Ex: (NY→London in 90 min) without exotic engines.36hr drone patrol

I did not have disclosure-via-emoji from SECWAR in my bingo card…

We got aliens before GTA 6

Good morning from the flight line.
