math is so beautiful. these people predicted that the crew would come all the way from space and land in the water at exactly 8:07 PM EST and that's the exact same time - down to the minute - that they splashed down.
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
Lock in, we’re Moonbound.
Artemis II astronauts are more than halfway to their destination, and preparations for lunar flyby are underway. During their trip around the far side of the Moon, they will capture imagery to share with scientists (and you, too!).
🌑 When they cross to the far side they will lose all radio contact with Earth for roughly 30 minutes. No signal. No communication. Complete silence. It has a name Loss of Signal. Every Apollo crew experienced it. Michael Collins described it during Apollo 11 as the most profound silence he had ever felt completely alone on the far side while Armstrong and Aldrin were on the surface. The far side of the Moon has never been seen by human eyes from this distance in 53 years. The images they capture will show terrain that no crewed spacecraft has photographed since December 1972. In about 24 hours four people will be on the other side of the Moon with nobody to call. I find that genuinely impossible to fully imagine.

It is important to note that all Banks has been describing is under a section of the "observable universe "
This beans the extent of the universe to which we've been able to, WITH OUR BEST TECH, observe!
Meaning there's an area we have 0 knowledge what's going on there!
Cringe!
I have some time so let me teach a concept I taught in my 6 years of teaching college biology.
Mosquitoes fit perfectly into the food chain and the absence of mosquitoes means many plants and animals will cease to exist.
I'll tell you how & why:

I repeat. If AI content isn't heavily regulated, we will enter an age of information wars that are so bloody that they could threaten the core of modern-day society.
The amount of lies that’ll be flying around. Say goodbye to knowing if Aliens are real or not. If a miracle happened or war is happening. If famous person said that or not. Reality is about to be skewed.
Only if we have ways to detect if things are Ai
