Happiness is a state of mind. Sometimes all it takes is a shift in focus. What do you love ? 💡 #SundayFunday

A great thread about the (VERY VERY UNLIKELY!) chance that asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the Earth. 🔭
If it impacted above a city, it would cause tremendous damage - so even though its chance of impact is vanishingly small, we may need to think about an asteroid redirect mission to play it safe.

The chance of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting out planet in 2032 is now 1.5%, or 1 in 67.
The OVERWHELMING likelihood is that the asteroid will miss Earth.
But for the first time ever, we might have to seriously consider a deflection mission soon.
Let me explain. 🧵 (1/x)

On October 14, NASA launched Europa Clipper, its largest planetary mission spacecraft yet. It’s headed to Jupiter’s icy moon Europa, which could have a giant ocean of liquid water hidden under its icy crust.
NASA’s Europa Clipper Heads To Jupiter’s Icy Moon Europa
Scientists suspect that beneath Europa’s icy crust is a giant ocean of liquid water. They launched a spacecraft to investigate.

Not yet anyway .... today's quantum computers are still a long way away from a few million physical qubits (Willow only has 105). But a decade or so from now, who knows (?) 👀 #future #quantumcomputers #encryption
Google says its breakthrough quantum chip can’t break modern cryptography

Come learn what a CRQC is — even if Google doesn’t have one yet.

On December 7th, 1972, NASA launched Apollo 17, the final Apollo lunar mission. Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt became the last humans on the Moon, while the mission captured the iconic “Blue Marble” photo, inspiring global environmental awareness.

Nietzsche got it right when he said: “Without music life would be a mistake.”

If you really want a Star Trek future, it’s not just going to space in cool machines.
It’s building a society with respect for all life, sentient & otherwise, applying science wisely, and pursuing principles of justice, fairness & reason.
Let’s build that and ride it to the stars.

PROPHESY: When AI perfects deep-fakes of people, places, & things, no news will be trusted. Even those who previously believed fake news will think their fake news is faked. At that moment a tear in the spacetime continuum will open and swallow all social media from the internet.
