EXPLORE SPACE

“Simple, said Craven. They were just fields that had more energy packed into a certain portion of space than space could take. Space-fields that had far more than their share of energy, more than they could hold. A super-saturated solution will crystallize almost immediately after the tiniest crystal put into it. Those fields acted the same way. They crystallized instantly into hyperspace the moment they came into contact with other energy.”

“The crew's Orion spacecraft made the thirteen and a half minute journey through the atmosphere, reaching a top speed of around 33 times the speed of sound and slowing to just around 19 miles per hour at splashdown. The four astronauts have traveled more than 694,000 miles since launching from Florida's Kennedy Space Center. It was the first time humans ventured to the moon in more than fifty years.”

“There would be trips back to the earth for sentimental reasons, to see the place where one's ancestors were born and had lived, to goggle at the monument which marked the point from which the first spaceship had taken off for the moon, to visit old museums and see old cities and breathe the air that men and women had breathed for thousands of years before they found the power to take them anywhere. In the end, earth would be just a worn-out planet.”

“That's why the kettlebells are the best things. Kettlebells, the clubs, the mace. Awkward stuff. I love all that stuff, all the sandbag work. I'm still doing that every day. Since I was here last, I know it doesn't see me, but I've lost like 20 pounds.”

“The rats and the people are an ecosystem because the rats eat human garbage, and they live piled up around humans for a reason, so they could eat our garbage. And during the pandemic, it was a real fucking problem because no one was going to restaurants for a while, so the rats were everywhere. They're freaking out.”

“Archaic humans are crossing substantial sea channels long before species Homo sapiens appeared on the record. Whoa. So implying intentional crossings as far back as roughly 450,000 years ago.”

“But you're not going to stop it. This is the thing. That fucking, that wave is 2,000 feet high and it's moving 100 miles an hour and you're not going to stop it. You're not going to stop it. This is just what AI is.”

“With the new material-energy engines, life on every planet would be possible now, even easy. The cost of manufacture, mining, shipping, across the vast distances between the planets, would be only a fraction of what it had been when man had been forced to rely upon the unwieldy, expensive accumulator system of supplying life-giving power. Now Mars would have power of her own, even Pluto could generate her own.”

“If I was in his corner, I would say, dude, never go back to middleweight. You are a fucking light heavyweight champion. He is a light heavyweight champion. And while this guy, while Carlos Olberg, is going to be out for a year, because he is going to have to get ACL reconstruction, Paulo Costa could be the interim light heavyweight champion.”

“He took a red backpack, his wallet and a.38 caliber revolver. He left behind his phone. His wife reported him missing within three hours. Despite FBI involvement, Air Force Office of Special Investigation searched dogs, drones, helicopters, horseback teams, FLIR sweeps and 700 canvas households. No confirmed sightings of McCasland has ever surfaced.”

“I wish you could see it my way, Manning, he said. There's no place for me on earth. No place for me in the solar system. You see, I tried and failed. I'm just a has-been back there. He laughed quietly. Somehow, I can't imagine myself coming back in the role of the defeated tribal leader, chained to your chariots, so to speak.”

“Think of what criminal uses could be made of the tele-transport. No vault, no net of charged wires, nothing could stop a thief from taking anything he wanted. Prisons would cease to be prisons. Criminals could reach in and pick up their friends, no matter how many guards there were. Prisons and bank vaults and national treasuries could be cleaned out in a single day.”

“The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services told the Associated Press administrator Mehmet Oz's claim that roughly 5,000,000 New Yorkers receive personal care services was an error. The actual number is a tenth of that, about 450,000 people. Michael Kanukin from the think tank Fiscal Policy Institute was first to show that number was likely incorrect.”

“Five people have been charged with murder in connection to a massive explosion last July at a fireworks warehouse in Northern California. Seven people were killed in the blast. Among those said to be responsible for the explosion is a former Yolo County sheriff lieutenant.”

“First lady Melania Trump made a rare and surprising public statement denying ties to Epstein and calling on congress to allow victims to testify. Her name appears in the latest tranche of documents published at the January. In an interview with The New York Times, Trump said it didn't bother him, and he, quote, thought she had a right to talk about it.”

“Man doesn't want to live under scientific government. He doesn't want to be protected against blunders. He wants what he calls freedom. The right to do things he wants to do, even if it means making a damn fool of himself. The right to rise to great heights and tumble to equally low depths. That's human nature. I rule it out. Bet you can't rule out human nature.”

“That's how you really become a world champion. You have a blown out knee and you find a way to KO a guy who's this wild, aggressive, awkward dude. You know, and he's coming after you. You got a blown out knee and you just blink. Perfect fucking left hook.”

“The amount of time that it would take for a black hole to suck in that much matter to become that massive, there's not enough time since the birth of the universe. That's what they're... So they're confused as to how it's formed. They're like, well, maybe we're wrong about how these things are formed.”

“The Iranian team will be holding talks with Vance, who's traveling with special envoy Steve Whitkoff and president Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. Trump says his top priorities now are ensuring Iran has no nuclear weapon and that the Strait Of Hormuz opens for shipping. Iran is demanding an end to Israel's invasion of Lebanon.”
