The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see.
Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time.
To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.
Much appreciated, @US_FDA!
THE MOON HAS CAVES?!
Scientists have made an astonishing discovery: a deep cave on the Moon, potentially over 100 meters in depth.
Located on Mare Tranquillitatis, the same spot where Apollo 11 landed, it was found using radar technology.
This cave formed millions or even billions of years ago and could be similar to volcanic caves on Earth.
A coordinator of the European Space Agency, Francesco Sauro:
“We have very good images of the surface - up to 25cm of resolution - we can see the Apollo landing sites - but we know nothing about what lies below the surface.
There are huge opportunities for discovery.”

My favorite photo from this morning's launch. Captured using techniques I've never used before, it exceeded my expectations in every way. I feel this photo perfectly illustrates the beauty and power of Starship.
