It appears the cycle of life exists even on the cosmic level with planets absorbed by stars and stars swallowed by black holes.  Quite fascinating stories this week on this topic.  We also have an update on the latest adventures of our favorite space companies and their launches.  And new analysis of data about Uranus suggest many water moons surrounding that gas planet, with NASA building a snake-like serpentine robot for exploring such ice worlds.  You’ll love our longevity hacks for the week, especially if you take a ‘cold plunge’, and the White House is taking AI very seriously with a summit of AI leaders convening at the White House and announching an AI Bill of rights.  Enjoy!

Starship taking offThis week we are back in our home studio, though because of the inclement weather and failing solar, generator, and battery power, we a operating our entire studio on a tiny backup generator (Honda 2000i).  Despite our production challenges, the show came out quite well, with call-ins, including Billy Sunshine. Both Bobby Wilder and Master Now gave us a detailed analysis of some of the content from this week’s excellent online Longevity Conference, with clips from Peter Diamandis, Bruce Lipton, and Aubrey de Grey.   Enjoy!

Future Now News - Galactic Clusters, Lunar crash, Marsquake revelations, Elephant Seal underwater sleep spirals, the pain and pleasure of profit, and a giant sponge in the mantle with more water than all the oceans

Listen to Future Now News with Al & Sun Lundell and Bobby Wilder

This week we returned to the Santa Cruz Voice station, as our Rodecaster is replaced with a brand spanking new one!  It works, but we miss all of our music and presets. Nonetheless plenty to share with week, as we celebrate Hubble’s 33rd birthday in space, and revel in the afterglow of our very own SC Voice party!  

The most surprising thing for us this week was the revelation that there is a layer in the Earth’s mantle that likely holds more water than all the Earth’s oceans, up to three times more! How is this possible? Through heat, pressure, and a massive amount of material known as ringwoodlite, a kind of mineral sponge that can store water en masse.  How does this play with the hyrdological cycles of our weather? Many mysteries to be unveiled as this new, massive discovery is explored. 

We also enjoyed the UCSC research in sleep behavior of our local elephant seals, a fascinating study of these marine mammals, and their ability to sleep while spiralling down to over a thousand feet below the surface of the sea. Amazing, enjoy! 

There’s three times as much water below the surface than in the oceans
