Um, that's not an Apollo 11 photo. The red ID bands weren't used til 13. Suspect that may be John Young if that is Dr. Carruthers' UV scope in the background.

Yeah, but there will always be good food and wine to enjoy... Life's pleasures cannot be replaced by AI

I just saw a Mercedes documentary talking about how airbags deploy in 1/3 the time it takes to blink

In space exploration, look at the landers on the moon in the 69s and compare them to the curiosity rover. I'm sending this message on a small phone that can in seconds bring up drought monitoring data from the copernicus network.

Since 1969 we've theorised, then discovered, then photographed black holes. We built a 100m3 permanently inhabited orbital platform. We've gone from wondering if there are planets out there to cataloguing 6 thousand of them.

We've mapped out the entire human genome - and made it incredibly cheap and easy to do. We've learned to literally edit out famine inducing diseases from crops. We have pharmaceutical facilities so brilliant that within 10 months of a new virus emerging vaccines were in arms.

Statins have saved millions. The Malaria vaccine will save millions more.

I video call my octogenarian mother in a different country every night. However often I do it, it doesn't cost us more than our regular utility bills.

I watched the moon landing on a black & white television while sitting on a porch swing in Biloxi, MS. I remember it clearly, and have no time for deniers.
