There is no salvation alone; either all of us together or none of us.

Every software engineer should read Google's Spanner paper. Spanner proved CAP theorem wrong by inventing TrueTime that achieved <7ms clock synchronization at planet-scale. Very few innovations impact software we use as much. Must read.







SpaceX created the first fully reusable rocket stage and, much more importantly, made the reuse economically viable. Making life multiplanetary is fundamentally a cost per ton to Mars problem. It currently costs about a billion dollars per ton of useful payload to the surface of Mars. That needs to be improved to $100k/ton to build a self-sustaining city there, so the technology needs to be 10,000 times better. Extremely difficult, but not impossible.
