39 Future News Now - Joby over NYC, Mars Fleet Lying Low, SETI gets $200m, U-2 hunts for Minerals, Stem cells slash heart attack risk

Listen to Future News Now 11.14.23

Our local eVTOL company, Joby Aviation did a demo flight over NYC this last weekend, showing they are ready for primetime, taxi-ing passengers from the Big Apple to JFK airport in 7 minutes!  It’s a slow couple of weeks on Mars now, as the Sun blocks our communications with the Red Planet.  But our fleet of robotic craft have plenty to do while they wait for us to regain contact.  The Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence organization just got a $200 million boost in their budgets from Franklin Antonio, co-founder of Qualcomm. NASA’s remote sensing tech for minerals is being tested at home via an sensor equipped modified U-2 spy plane, flying over America’s Southwest. They hope to find deposits of lithium, cobalt and nickel, vital for the electronics and battery industries. And it appears stem cell treatments can make a difference in preventing future heart attacks, the major cause of death in our country.. Enjoy our news segment!

Robots are a theme this week, with humanoid robots soon to be coming en masse from China, Japan, and the US..Are we ready for this?  And for something completely different, we speak with Alma and friends from their beautiful ranch on native Ohlone lands in the hills of  Morgan Hill, near San Jose and Santa Cruz, CA.  Alma speaks of their ranch as being a place for healing, and of connecting with the Earth, the Universe, and each other, as we face the challenges of our times. They plan on holding events regularly on the full and new moons coming up, and offer sweat lodges, yoga, plant healings, and spearhead discussions for realigning and unifying humanity into a more holistic unity consciousness, essential for creating heaven on earth.  We had a delightful connection with the folks there, which we think you  will enjoy!

Lots of space news this week, with Jeff Bezos revealing his lunar lander, embryos on the ISS, and green living paint to revivify the Martian atmosphere.  And lots of AI evolution, from new video editing tools to Peter Diamandis’s personal AI clone, available to you for querying!  We also have a Tesla diner being constructed in Beverly Hills, combining fast food dining with charging.  Plus the latest from Swami Beyondananda  with Jim Rough on creating a collaboratively wise democracy for us all, something that could make a major difference in our quality of life.  Enjoy!

Jersey Grrrl Gabrielle makes a brief appearance in the studio today, mostly chatting about boutique coffee in combination with adaptogenic mushrooms..She’s formulated a new product along these lines via her company, Boardwalk Beans.

Our main studio guest, author Paul Gotel, brings some engaging concepts and practical suggestions towards creating a better reality for ourselves, in his interview about his book, “The Big U,” a guide to living large. Paul also shares details of his NEO (Near Death Experience) and what it means to him, and a recent electrifying lesson he learned with his teenage son.  Not afraid to go deep, Paul gets into all kinds of fun stuff, like loss as an act of purification, fluidity as identity, authenticity in a fully unencumbered Now, and suffering as the retention of identity.  Not for everyone, but for those who grok this kind of thing, it’s great, enjoy!
