@DrPhiltill I’m hooked. My PhD was in material science, but I wandered astray and spent my career in space systems. This is a glorious playland!
Today I handed in my university laptop, losing a part of my extended mind (albeit replaced with a new one I bought myself). I decided to write down some personal notes elicited by the closure of the Future of Humanity Institute.
They deal with substance and play, the importance of whiteboards, what was valuable about the FHI, and what I am up to. aleph.se/andart2/person…
Today’s interesting factoid: This photo was reportedly taken in 1946. This guy is Ken Shimizu. He was 35 years old. He had 2 children. Shimizu never ran or worked out. Slept late. Ate whatever he wanted to. Even drank beer instead of water. Ate sumptuous dinners every night...…

So cool! We love seeing the progression toward Lunar exploration👏🏼

@DrPhiltill @space_stations Meanwhile a week later a starship lander arrives with 50 tonnes of cargo 😂
@DrPhiltill Having completed my master's studies under his supervision, I can sya that his enthusiasm for ISRU is contagious. One of the reviews for my thesis started off by saying "reading your thesis was great, it was like reading science fiction!" He leads us to taking out the fiction
@DrPhiltill So @RocketLab and/or @Firefly_Space could benefit from lunar capable variants...
@DrPhiltill @space_stations They should also make one to go on the Starship HLS demo flight. Maybe they could test the freight elevator and lower it to the surface where they land. It would be great to see them test out a bunch of stuff.
@DrPhiltill @GrayBallofDirt be on the look out buddy, incoming visitor.
