Though we are in the heat of the summer, it is not a slow news day for us!  Lots to explore today, starting with looking West at sunset to view the spectacular Venus/Jupiter encounter.  We were sad to hear of the SpaceX rocket failure Sunday, and Dr. Joe, one of our callers, wondered sabotage.  Probably not, but we’ll find out as SpaceX analyzes what went so horribly wrong.  

Saving ancient archeological dig sites in war zones has always been an issue, but there is a plan to digitize in 3D some threatened digs in Iraq and Syria.  The Argus II system for helping those with Retinitis Pigmentosa eye issues seems to be working, good news for those with RP.  And this week we take a closer look at the 3D printer revolution and how it will seriously impact the industrial revolution as we know it!  Enjoy the show..

In the heat of the summer from the shores of Lake Union in the town of Seattle, we have much news to share. After years of delay, the first commecial drones will soon be delivering cargo in the US, thanks to a process known as ‘de-extinction,’ long dead species like wooly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers will soon be resurrected, advances in machine learning will identify us in many different poses, with good shots of our face, and artificial neural networks can now ‘dream.’  A fun show full of sci fi becoming real!

It is the summer, we are on the road, but the show continues, as there are many new amazing things to report.  We were quite impressed with a paper by Zack Kanter entitled “How Uber’s Autonomous Cars will Destroy 10 Million Jobs and Reshape the Exonomy by 2025,” and spend some time discussing it.  

This is a big week for Virtual and Augmented Reality fans, with the AWE 2015 and E3 events unfolding.  To bring us up to speed here we have our favorite pundit Greg Panos on deck, to help us make sense of it all! Enjoy!
