@elonmusk @elonmusk Hello Mr. Musk, can we get you on the @Nuke_Verse podcast to discuss space and nuclear security?

There you have it

Eighty years ago, the world witnessed an unimaginable devastation. The atomic bombings of #Hiroshima80 and #Nagasaki80 in August 1945 left an indelible scar on humanity—one that continues to serve as a moral and legal warning against the very existence and possession of nuclear weapons. That same year, the United Nations was founded to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war,” a goal enshrined in the opening words of the U.N. Charter. In 2025, as we commemorate these intertwined 80th anniversaries, we are reminded that the fight for nuclear abolition is not a historical obligation alone—it is a present and urgent necessity. ----Dr. Deepshikha Kumari Vijh (Executive Director, @lcnp_nyc and Executive Producer & Host @Nuke_Verse #Hiroshima #Nagasaki

Not since Titanic have I found a powerful, heartbreaking and inspiring real life story as found in Ghosts of Hiroshima by Charles Pellegrino. This is an amazing book and a film I am excited to direct. Order below: AMAZON: amzn.to/3QuiZT8 B&N: bit.ly/3D7IFSw

Hiroshima after the dropping of the atomic bomb. #justsaying
