38: We are going back to the moon!
We recorded this episode a few hours after Artemis 1 successfully launched from Florida. We 3 space-nerds are talking about this for months and now it finally happened. But we also talk about Twitter's verification program and 500 drones showing candy-crush ads over New York's night sky.
00:00 - Intro
01:27 - Where were you during Artemis 1 launch?
05:28 - NASA’s Artemis 1 mission is finally headed toward the Moon
14:48 - Elon Says Revised $8 Twitter Blue ‘Verification’ Program Will Resume on November 29th
22:12 - Backlash after 500 drones light up New York City sky to celebrate Candy Crush
Summary
With a roar that lit up the night sky, NASA sent its colossal next-generation rocket soaring into space for the first time on Wednesday. The Space Launch System rocket, or SLS, took off at 1:47AM ET from Cape Canaveral, Florida, signaling the start of a bold new era for the US government’s space program. The SLS launch was also a test of NASA’s most powerful rocket configuration yet, a prerequisite for future deep space missions.
Elon Musk’s $8 blue ticks for all ‘verification’ program, his first major user-facing initiative since taking over the app, has caused a broad range of issues, including rampant impersonation, internal confusion over how to enforce the platform’s rules, potential legal concerns, and even stock market impacts for some impersonated businesses. Which is largely in line with what everybody said would happen – even Twitter’s own staff, who informed Musk of potential concerns before the release. [...] Fans of Elon, those who’ve always wanted a blue checkmark – there’s a percentage of Twitter users who clearly will pay $8 for the blue tick.
Was it a bird, was it a plane, or a UFO? On Thursday evening under clear skies, 500 lighted drones were flown in a synchronized show against the Manhattan skyline to mark 10 years of the wildly popular cellphone game. Millions of migratory birds pass over the city every year and many crash into lighted buildings and can be disorientated by objects such as drones.
