the romantic human aspect of space colonization-placing our flags on other worlds-is redundant with robots and Von Neumann replicators unfortunately. the mars colony will be robots. ppl can join, but as consumers of an experience rather than critical parts of novel adventures

Today we’re introducing Merlin. A new constellation designed to remap the entire planet every day at one-meter resolution. For decades, Earth observation has been constrained by a fundamental trade-off: global coverage or high resolution. Merlin removes that constraint.

This shifts Earth observation from tasking satellites to continuously monitoring the world. The first satellite is scheduled to launch in October 2026, with full operational capability expected in 2027. ➡️Read the announcement: satellogic.com/news/press-rel…

Astonishing that we could ever have a system like checks. We gave everyone the ability to write themselves arbitrary-denomination banknotes on the hope—with no way of checking—they’ll have enough funds to cover it later on. How did this not immediately collapse under fraud?


We could build like this again. Nothing is stopping us.

I would like to immediately know where this is
