One Nation Under The Sun
Tomorrow (July 22) is Mary Magdalene feast day… who is esoterically signified by “M” or “MM”… highlighted during this year’s Super Bowl halftime show. (Related: “Notre Dame: The Da Vinci Fire“.)
Happy Apollo 11 50th anniversary! It’s been half a century. Now we’ve colonized the Moon, Mars, and a space fleet headed for Alpha Cent… Oh wait, we are struggling just to put a man back on the Moon. 😠Absolutely no sci-fi writer would have predicted this staggering lack of progress in space. But that’s all about to change thanks to the rise of the commercial space industry or “New Space” spear-headed by SpaceX. Governments are just too unreliable for big, long-term projects that require stable focus and steady funding. The Apollo program managed to accomplish what it did due to extreme fear (Soviet threats), which is why it was unsustainable. We didn’t choose to go to the Moon because it’s hard, we chose to go to the Moon because we were scared. Fear is a great motivator. But it’s primitive and temporary. In the 21st century, we choose to go to the Moon, Mars and beyond because we are inspired to do so, not out of fear but because, despite everything, we can still dream.
…is here (almost). Musk-led Neuralink made its public debut last night and gave us glimpses of a new world imminent in the 21st century comparable to the world of The Matrix.
Tomorrow (July 16): Trinity test anniversary (74th), Apollo 11 launch anniversary, last lunar eclipse of 2019, SpaceX Starship prototype (“Starhopper”) first test, Musk’s brain-computer interface startup Neuralink coming out party… etc.
A remarkable sequence per “Eclipse, World Cup & America“:
