I watched cowboy bebop when I was around 8-10.
Im 30 now.
Re watching Cowboy Bebop as an adult hits different.
When you’re younger, it’s easy to latch onto the cool fights, the jazz, Spike being effortlessly smooth. But coming back to it later, you start feeling the weight of the themes. Loneliness. Regret. People running from their past instead of healing it. Characters stuck in emotional orbit, unable to move on.
Stuff that flew right over our heads as kids suddenly lands hard af.
Honestly, I recommend any older anime fan do this. Revisit the shows you loved growing up. You dont just rewatch them, you re-contextualize them. Your life experience fills in the gaps the story always had waiting for you.
Same anime. Different you.
And somehow… its just better.
Cowboy bebop is a 10/10.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
The math on this image is insane.
New Horizons transmitted at 2,000 bits per second from 3 billion miles away. Slower than a 1990s dial-up modem. It took 16 months to download all the flyby data.
The spacecraft had to hit a target box 100km wide, arriving within 150 seconds of schedule, after 9 years of flight. Miss it and the preloaded observation commands point at empty space.
Ten days before arrival, the spacecraft crashed and went into safe mode. Engineers had 72 hours to restore everything.
The probe is now 5 billion miles out, still whispering data back to Earth. We got 50 gigabits of Pluto photos using technology slower than your phone’s bluetooth.
Nuno Loureiro was assassinated yesterday
He was a professor + the director of MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center
> 47 years old
> Studied nuclear fusion (= energy source of the Sun + stars) for 10 years at MIT
> His award-winning work focused on creating a virtually limitless, clean energy source on Earth - one that doesn’t produce carbon or radioactive waste (usual biproduct of fission reactors)
> His research was essentially a threat to companies in the energy sector (fossil fuels, wind, solar, etc)
> Nuno was vital to the development of fusion nuclear power plants, without him the path ahead is less clear + his death will set back the entire field
Nuno is not the first MIT fusion scientist to be brutally murdered, in 2004 Eugene Mallove was also shot in his home
I hope this opens eyes – there is an agenda at play
