Listen to 134 Future Now Show

Happy birthday to Al today, aka Dr. Future! We are an acquired taste, but once acquired, we are as tasty as Guinness! This week Richard Cray discusses with us the latest with Space X’s humongus Star Ship, and it’s ground-breaking one hour flight from Texas to the Indian Ocean. Dr. Future shares his tale of losing a drone to a giant redwood in Silicon Valley. Bobby Wilder updates us on his Hawaiian adventures, and the Bitcoin flash dive, Greg Panos looks at the rise of quantum stocks and suggests we explore the free AI software, Replay AI, for cloning voices of friends, family and celebrities. Our AI, Ara, introduces a new text to video tool, IMAGINE, and Dr. F demos his use of Replay, with his Rodney Dangerfield personification, and shares a very cleverly done personalized version of the song, FAME, by Idina Menzel. Enjoy! 

Starship 11 in action

Future News - Iceland Eruption Live, Starship 11 Explodes, Spaceship 3 debuts, "Voltswagen" leaked, Lilium eVTOL going public

Listen Now to Future News 3.30.2021

Boy, lots of shiny new vehicles this week, such as Virgin Galactic’s Spaceship 3, and the Lilium eVTOL air taxi from Germany, never mind the yet-to-be revealed, “Voltswagen,” the leaked name of VW’s electric car efforts. Curiously enough, we had a caller who claims her dad converted a 1970’s VW fastback to electric 40 years ago, and had called it “Voltswagen.” It looks like the Starship program of Space-X had another explosion on the landing, the third Starship in a row to blow up, this time in thick fog, giving it more of a pastel appearance to those watching.  Why it blew? Currently under investigation.  

And speaking of explosions you must check out the live feed of the Iceland Volcano currently spewing lava from new vents simlutaneously, creating a lava lake close to the town of Reykjavik, and has become quite the tourist attraction.  Nature at her most primal, creating land before our very eyes. Enjoy!
