Top concerns for the future (in no particular order):
climate change
antibiotic resistance
dementia (funding + staffing + humanitarian)
inflation + gov debt
automation
These are all life-changing trends that are GUARANTEED to happen. We are all unprepared.

my least favourite english word is “projects”. I have to re read a sentence multiple times to know which of the 14 definitions it’s referring to.

Canada, France pledge to work together on space infrastructure, business and economic growth
globalnews.ca/news/12066337/…
my hot take is that most of these space companies will become zombie unicorns because very few are selling end-use services to companies on earth. investing in modular infrastructure when very few of these companies have IPO'd

BREAKING🚨
Isar Aerospace demonstrates innovative engine spaghetti arms to boost performance by allowing the rocket to express its excitement upon reaching space.
no anomalies today!
TLDR of the rocket:
• 28M tall, 2M diameter
• SSO orbit (orbit where there is eternal sunshine)
• none of the rocket is reusable, their approach is to make cheap, non-reusable rockets. they 3D print their engines.
timeline of @isaraerospace :
• 2018: founding
• 2023: raised $165M series C in preparation of first launch
• 2025: first launch failed 18 seconds after launch in an explosion
• 2026: raised $313M series D at an alleged $2B val in preperation of second launch
• today: successfully launched from Norway. payload was only 5 university cubesats. However, in future missions the rocket has payload space for 13m^3, which is aprox space for 17 starlink satellites.
