30 some years ago, Assassin's Apprentice came out in the US in Trade Paper Back. Today's news? in its 13th printing, it's going back for 49,000 copies. Ship of Magic is only in 8th printing, but another 10,000 copies to be printed. New writers, please believe in your books!
@veritasium How do you tell time in space? There are no time zones.
Not just communication delays but also to coordinate events, schedules.
If I am on the moon and talk to someone on Mars, what time is it!?
Great article. Well written. Very interesting. I only wish there was more emphasis on exponential growth. To talk about 20 years or longer from now fails to put the speed in perspective.

Great article about the challenges of getting power back on for today's power grids - especially once there is no power. I feel like this is an area where engineering could build a better grid.

Starship’s sixth flight test aimed to push the vehicle to its limits as we iterate towards a rapidly reusable rocket.
Up next: a new ship, new year, and new limits. Excitement still guaranteed → https://t.co/QNCSPTewLA
