Some weird rumors going around concerning BLC-1, which I thought was debunked years ago. But if anyone has a good source that confirms or denies in the last couple months, please share. All I can find are fairly unreliable sources.

Cross-casting this from writing. This is an essay I wrote about the eye-opening and mind-expanding journey I had learning about Russian Cosmism, the philosophy which contended that we should colonize space and make everyone immortal.

Other than the recent discovery of (possible) Dyson Spheres out there, is there any ongoing investigation into trying to build a Dyson Sphere ourselves? Like, is there any line of research focused on finding alternative materials to the theoretically unobtainable ones required for a Dyson Sphere?

Astronomers have found a world with a 100% water atmosphere and it's at about 600 K so it's just completely steam from the surface to space. Here's an interview with one of the researchers who discovered it.

One of the great academics/thinkers/personalities of our time. He's on top of the issues of the day, not just those related to physics/space exploration.

Stoked to see an astronaut as the next administrator of NASA, one of the most surprising but exciting nominations for USA and humanity https://x.com/rookisaacman/status/1864346915183157636?s=46&t=HAnDjwY0J4IaCdeo47Tneg

whoa. kinda would prefer Jared to continue doing astronaut stuff but this will be great for the industry and as a very thoughtful guy, he’ll add a reasonable voice to the administration

Check out Scott Manley's spaceflight news update for today there's some cool stuff going on. I'll post more about it sometime but NASA's dragonfly mission to fly a nuclear powed helicopter on Saturn's moon Titan is particularly epic and they've chosen SpaceX to launch it which will be their first nuclear payload, in 2028.

My book recommendation of the day in the QC. I personally think there's a decent chance as find some basic microbial life in the water below the ice of Europa. The Mission is more about the story of the people pushing for this mission over the past half century at NASA. There's also this book Alien Oceans that's more about studying Europa and figuring out how we might get into that water and find out.
Listen to Alien Oceans by Kevin Hand on Audible. https://www.audible.com/pd/0691205590?source_code=ASSOR150021921000V
