This isn't science fiction anymore. It's a future worth building.

@davepl1968 A high school friend of mine had a full-size Tempest cabinet in his home, along with Battlezone, c. 1985-86. Great games. Good times.

@SandyofCthulhu I've read Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath uncountable times -- many more times than any other novel/novella

Land grants aren't possible on Mars. Land claims recognition, based on 'use and occupation,' as in civil law countries like France, may be.

If you want to know how Trump negotiates, read this excerpt from The Art of The Deal (1987) about Trump preventing a woman's farm from foreclosure:

"I explained that I was a businessman from New York, and that I was interested in helping Mrs. Hill. He told me he was sorry, but that it was too late. They were going to auction off the farm...

That really got me going.

I said to the guy: 'You listen to me. If you do foreclose, 'I’ll personally bring a lawsuit for murder against you and your bank, on the grounds that you harassed Mrs. Hill’s husband to his death!'

All of a sudden the bank officer sounded very nervous and said he’d get right back to me.

Sometimes it pays to be a little wild."

- Donald J. Trump, The Art of The Deal

RFK Jr. made one simple decision that changed everything.

After 14 years of heroin addiction, he read Carl Jung’s book on synchronicity and decided: “I’m going to start believing in God — even if it improves my chances of recovery by just one percent.”

He started “acting as if” there was a higher power watching him, that life was a test, and he had to do the right thing even when no one was looking.

The very same day he finished the book, an improbable synchronicity happened on a volleyball court that made him think, “This is God talking to me.”

It was the beginning of his 43 years of sobriety.

A raw, powerful reminder that sometimes the smallest intellectual leap — “I’ll act as if” — can open the door to real transformation.

Have you ever had a moment where “acting as if” something was true ended up changing everything for you?

In 1992, I was 19 years old building a multiplayer world on a '486 with 16MB of RAM. It ran on CompuServe. It died on Y2K eve.

Last weekend, I resurrected it with agentic AI — and it's playable right now.

@aakashgupta Curious, why does the lunar night kill all solar power? "The 14-day night drops temperatures to -173°C and kills all solar power." Is it the low temp? B/c the south lunar pole is permanently in sunlight.

Brian -- Sorry if this is out of your wheelhouse or scope. I'm interested in a narrow niche of space law, and have posted online the following three obscure original documents, two of which my friend dug up personally at the LBJ Library.

These docs illuminate how the 1967 Outer Space Treaty came to be and how the originating nations viewed the space race (including stopping it) behind the scenes.

Not sure if this is something you would feed to your models or not (no worries if not), but here are the links to the PDFs:
