We're going to make a reusable rocket -> we're going land on Mars -> we're going to build a city on Mars -> we're going to build data centers in space -> we're going to be a Kardashev II civilization -> I think the sun might be alive.

Brigham Young moment.
"What is in the sun? Can astronomers tell us who lives there? No. Now know that millions of inhabitants dwell there! The Sun is filled with the power of God."

Oh my gd.
Musk is fucking insane with this quoted sentence from the press release on SpaceX acquiring xAI.
"This marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI's mission: scaling to make a sentient sun to understand the Universe."

Keeping up with what exactly SpaceX is trying to accomplish is like that phaser target practice game they play in TNG where the dots keep swirling around, randomly changing position with no apparent rhyme or reason.

Always a good time to point out that the Mormon church pushed their investments in Palantir from $68 million in 2024 to $288 million after Trump was elected.
Palantir employees are pressing company leadership over its work for ICE in internal company Slacks obtained by @wired.com
"In my opinion ICE are the bad guys. I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this."

Recently I've been thinking a lot about how Eric Berger named Elon launching a car into space as the #1 moment in 21st century spaceflight.
It's honestly infuriating how bad spaceflight reporting has become. So much of it is built around promotion and not actually looking into the facts.
Websites like Ars Technica and NASASpaceflight will run every critical article they can under the sun about NASA, and especially SLS and Orion but...

Isaacman is a great example of the Every is 12 Now Theory.
"I think a tech billionaire is qualified to lead NASA because he owns a fighter plane, thinks nuclear reactors in space are cool, and bought his own tourist spaceflight."
Of course you do, you're 12.

Just a few years ago, Jared Isaacman was one of the more "respectable" tech billionaires. Advocating for women's rights, donating to stop disease and famine, and brushing elbows with Democrats

For a brief second when they found out about SpaceX going public the clouds suddenly parted and they was handwringing on Twitter when they realized that Musk actually doesn't really care about going to Mars.
The moment was brief, but it was an interesting one to see.

Also a note to the loser Space Cult Redditors who will eventually screenshot this thread: lol you will die alone and it will be in your mom's basement, not on Mars

While a believing Mormon I had my suspicions that Jeffrey Holland† and David Bednar were going to be the two prophets spoken of in Revelation that would fight for Israel during the Battle of Armageddon.

A favorite moment of mine r.e. Holland's eloquence is when BBC was interviewing him about Romney's temple covenants and Jeff accidentally called Obama "Osama" and then implied he'd also made secret religious pledges.

It's very funny every time the Doctrine and Covenants is like: "I your Lord God, creator of this world, yea verily the Alpha and Omega as spoken of in the Holy Scriptures, have something to say concerning the state of Missouri."

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out when the Book of Mormon suddenly starts reading differently than the Bible to members. I suspect a big chunk of the member's perception of the Book of Mormon as authentic comes from the fact that it "sounds" Biblical.
For the first time, Latter-day Saints are being encouraged to seek out modern translations of the Bible to further their studies.

The slopificiation of the internet started with the pandemic. All the social media channels since then have been full of low-effort content fed algorithmically into peoples' eyeballs. AI has allowed people to produce the same type of slop, but at scale.
