I think I speak for most of my fellow Americans when I say: how long until they can grow me a new pancreas?

Mr. Fusion!
Maybe someone else posted this, but the news on fusion reactor developments and superconductivity being available within maybe even 10 years is amazing. Sure, lots of variables and such to go wrong, but still hard to deny a seemingly rare bit of good news in these times.
From article:
“If we’re successful in what we’re doing and in other technologies, fusion energy will start to make a difference in mitigating climate change — not in 100 years, but in 10 years.”

^ Was reading about that yesterday. From what I understand, the spacecraft did not land on the asteroid but hovered above it while the collection probe went to work. Which seems even more mind-blowing.

Dated a girl in HS who is working on this project. Cool to see some FB posts and updates from her on it every now and then.

I'm 70 years old. Fusion has been just around the corner since I was in high school.

Utah startup WNDR Alpine has replaced the polluting, petroleum-based plastics usually used to wrap wooden skis with algae-based bioplastics that make them "more predictable, stable and durable".

The Royal Institution is hosting an online lecture on pattern seeking tomorrow. Free but donations encouraged. Here is the description.
From the first musical instrument to the digital revolutions, what is the unique ability that has driven human progress for 70,000 years?
In this talk, psychologist and world renowned autism expert Simon Baron-Cohen puts forward a bold new theory. From his book ‘The Pattern Seekers’ he discusses how humans can identify patterns, specifically ‘if-and-then’ patterns.
By linking one of our greatest human strengths with a condition that is so often misunderstood, Simon challenges us to think differently about those who think differently.

Ben Rich who was CEO of Lockheed at the time of skunkworks wrote a great book about all the aviation technology - U2, SR71, F114A stealth fighter etc. great back stories about the tech, the times, Kelly Johnson and others.
That documentary is great. I always was in awe of seeing the SR71 on the deck of the USS Intrepid in Chelsea docks.
