Is there such a thing as an addictive personality?  Apparently, it’s not that simple, but more related to our individual reactions to the environment compounded by the mood in which we find ourselves.  We review some of the latest work in this arena.  Also, new rodent experiments with blood suggest there may be something to the vampire myths of old, in that senescence can be triggered in younger mice by transfusing them with elder blood.  But is the reverse also true? We take a closer look..also updates on the Virgin Orbit, Europa, Exoplanet naming, fusion advances, the Tesla Android, jokes, and fixing the atmosphere! Enjoy!

This could be the summer of eVTOL (electric Vertical Takeoff Landing) aircraft, the long held vision for practical flying cars and cheap and easy air flight.We have our eye on several companies in that race, one of them being the “Switchblade,” in Oregon, a hybrid machine that both flies and drives on the ground.  And to make it all the more greener to fly electric, the materials for the powerful batteries needed will soon be coming from Greenland rather than China or Africa, thanks to the discovery of a massive trove of critical minerals for hundreds of millions of electric vehicles.  Ironically, Greenland is ground zero for many impacts of climate change, but it could also become ground zero for the materials needed to be a solution to the crisis.

Lots to explore and chat about this week. We love the Carwheel Galaxy images from JWST, and that the moon has hundreds of temperate zones, where humans would feel comfortable with the temperature (63 degrees F), and that the visual drawing AI, DALL-E, has dramatically improved its ability to draw beautiful art from a simple description of a scene. And it looks like we have helped spawn a new ‘citizen scientist’ project with the advent of inexpensive ‘smart balls’ for canines, promising to dramatically increase their intelligence.  A ways to go but we gotta start somwhere!  Enjoy!

Future News and Interview with space artist, Don Davis about art and the James Webb Space Telescope

Listen Now to Future News and Space Artist Don Davis

Future News this episode includes a discussion on space junk, a Virginal plan to print an entire neighborhood with 3D printers, a 17-year in advance blood test for Alzheimer’s, a 105-mile long skycraper plan in Saudi Arabia, and a caller with the water district discussing problems and potential solutions to our water shortage issues.

Our guest, Don Davis, is a space artist known for his accurate portrayals of what is he painting, such as the surfaces and atmosphere of distant exo-planets. You can imagine his excitement at having thousands of new images of the cosmos to play with, thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope and its ability to see far beyond what has been seen before. Enjoy!
