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…
🌊 New DOSI policy brief on deep-sea environmental impact research for marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR)! With a growing focus on mCDR, it’s crucial to understand the unique challenges posed by deep-sea ecosystems. Check out the brief here: buff.ly/4e7ZCIZ

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.

🚀LAUNCH UPDATE!
NASA’s #EuropaClipper is now targeting NET Monday, Oct. 14 for launch!
@NASAKennedy is “all clear” after the storm and teams are moving forward with preparations for the mission to Jupiter’s icy moon Europa.

ALT Technicians encapsulated NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft inside payload fairings on Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2024, in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The fairings will protect the spacecraft during launch as it begins its journey to explore Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa. The mission will help scientists determine if the moon could support life
"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. #Miltonpiped.video/L_6XJr3cilc
#Breaking An @USCG Air Station Miami 65 helicopter crew rescued a man clinging to a cooler approximately 30 mi. off Longboat Key.
The man was taken to Tampa General Hospital for medical care.
Sector St. Pete lost communications w/ the man at approx. 6:45 p.m., Wed.

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.
