Replying to @palladiummag
Launch windows when planets are positioned most efficiently for travel have always been part of mission planning. We might soon enter an era when there is no wasted launch window, to Mars or any other planet. The night sky will be lit up with such Starship ignitions.

It is time to build a gargantuan, self-assembling space telescope that will allow us to see distant alien planets in as much detail as we see the Moon. SpaceX-driven decreases in cost to orbit make this possible. Read the new article by @CJHandmer here:

Academia is not just bloated or out of touch, it is committing outright scientific fraud—fake data, doctored images, and all—and normalizing it by not naming and punishing culprits. Science is in danger. Read the new article by @benlandautaylor here:

This is only half-true. America is a former 19th century Latin American Third World country that started working in the 20th—by building the largest, most powerful bureaucracies the world has ever seen. It's also why who the next president is just doesn't matter much at all. 🧵

The US isn’t a failed European country, it’s a working Latin American country. If it fails, it‘ll look more like Mexico than Scandinavia.

Stanford dismantled its famously spontaneous campus life. The cost may be what made it great: cultivating free, independent agency in its students. Today from Ginevra Davis (@ginevlily)

South Africa’s corruption and decay is not due to it being a developing country; it is a Western, liberal, modern state. It is, instead, being intentionally de-developed by a revolutionary, extractive political elite. Read the new article by Lawrence Thomas (link below):

Despite a decade of finally noticing China's economic rise, Cold War clichés about communism and totalitarianism still dominate our thinking. Modern China isn't the Soviet Union on steroids. It is a consumerist, capitalist, industrial society in many ways imitating America—🧵

America cannot simultaneously be a country in decline and a global superpower on the cusp of a thousand-year "Turbo-America." Yet there is no consensus on which it is! What's happening is America is increasing its relative share of an empire that stopped growing absolutely. 🧵

GDP is not an objective metric of production, but a number cooked up by government bureaucrats behind closed doors to match their subjective vibes of how the economy is doing. It is hiding serious U.S. industrial decline. Read the new article by @pfitzsimmons (link below):
