I enjoy reading about the exciting technological advances that you write about. There's no other way I'd learn about this stuff. Thanks

Tardigrades are the only Terran species that may be living on the Moon in the lunar wild. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrades_on_the_Moon

How cool would that be! They should be the first animal released into the wilds of Mars too.

I'd love to see more artistic renderings of futuristic architectural styles built into dense, urban environments, rather than on scenic hilltops where no one lives. It seems pretty clear that dense walkable cities are the future. So futuristic architecture should be made to exist within that environment.

I'll see what I can do here at some point, though I'm not sure everyone shares that vision of the future. Most people with families do not like density for instance.

Got any prompts you think might be helpful generating that sort of image?

Another great issue Owen. I am very much looking forward to New Glenn’s launch. It would be great to have competition in the launch space…SpaceX is completely dominating this industry now.

Still, Bezos and Blue Origin seem to lack the vision of Elon Musk. They are pursuing reuse but not rapid reuse. We can only effectively amortize the cost of space launches when the rocket is flying, not waiting for a new upper stage or refurbishment.

I am sure Peter Hague agrees.

Thanks J.K.! I always enjoy writing these. Agreed, the more companies working to get us into space the higher our chance of success.
