Elon Musk: "In the next 6 to 12 months, we’ll be doing our first implants for vision, where even if somebody is completely blind, we can write directly to the visual cortex."
"Long term, you would have very high resolution and be able to see multispectral wavelengths... you could see in infrared, ultraviolet, radar. It's like a superpower situation."
I am deeply touched with the special gesture of over 13,000 students performing the vibrant Dhimsa dance during the inauguration of the Bhogapuram Airport. This extraordinary gesture reflects the warmth of the people of Andhra Pradesh and the richness of the state’s heritage, especially that of the tribal communities.
The Director General, National Security Guard, and all ranks of the #NSG pay heartfelt tribute to Warrant Officer Balwant Singh and Havildar Chandra Mohan Singh of 40 Bn, #AssamRifles, who made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty at Nungshang, Ukhrul, Manipur, on 06.07.2026.

Today, with profound sorrow, the National Security Guard mourns the passing of Shri R.T. Nagrani, IPS (Andhra Pradesh Cadre, 1951 Batch), the First Director General of the National Security Guard, who led the Force from 17 August 1984 to 25 September 1986.
A visionary leader and institution builder, Shri Nagrani laid the foundation of the NSG with exceptional foresight, professionalism and unwavering dedication. His leadership established the values, discipline and operational ethos that transformed the Force into India's nodal Counter Terrorism Force, renowned for its precision, courage and excellence.
The enduring legacy he created lives on in every Black Cat who serves the Nation with courage, resolve and an unwavering commitment to duty.
The National Security Guard pays its deepest respects to its founding Director General and extends its heartfelt condolences to his bereaved family.
His vision, leadership and selfless service to the Nation will continue to inspire generations of NSG personnel.
Jai Hind.
@elonmusk@brivael 2 questions:
1. Who is Peter?
2. Did you say 4 to 20 light-minutes or 420 minutes? 4 to 20 light minutes is 694209211 earth minutes, right?
Peter is not correct about me in this case.
I have always known that dangers from Earth will also pose dangers to Mars. Obviously so. However, the immense difficulty of traveling to Mars means that there is a much higher likelihood of mitigating risks originating from Earth.
A clear example of major risk reduction would be a deadly pandemic. Since it takes 6 months to reach Mars, there is an automatic 6 month quarantine!
Even traveling at the speed of light, a deadly computer virus or AI attack can potentially be stopped due to Mars being ~4 to ~20 light-minutes from Earth.
This doesn’t mean that a Mars civilization eliminates all risk, but it absolutely greatly reduces the risk of consciousness being extinguished.
Moreover, Mars is a stepping stone to extending consciousness broadly within our solar system and ultimately to millions of stars within our galaxy, which would extend the probable lifespan of consciousness as we know it by many orders of magnitude.
That said, what I personally find most motivating is not the risk reduction aspect of extending life beyond Earth, but rather the inspiring nature of exploration and being out there among the stars!
Perhaps we will meet aliens or find the remains of long-dead civilizations that lasted millions of years …

Just now in the presence of Union Ministers Sh. JP Nadda, Dr. Jitendra Singh and the senior leaders of Apex Body of Leh Ladakh I finally broke my fast after 26 days. Earlier 65 members of parliament from different political parties had visited or signed letters urging me to break the fast. This was done after long negotiations on various conditions and in view of possible violence in the country. I will explain the conditions in detail in a separate video very soon. Meanwhile I urge you all to stay very vigillant about not allowing violence of any kind anywhere.
ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀
Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.
History is made. 🇮🇳
