The day began with a 3.5 earthquake for us, after a beautiful night of watching the Geminids meteor shower, one of the most spectacular annual stellar events. The Covid 19 vaccines have begun their mighty distributions and we discuss the differences, such as the value of mRNA. Fun stuff!
It was great to note that our local aircraft company, Joby Aviation, is inking a $75 million deal with Uber, a strong move to make their flying electric VTOL taxi to be a strong contender in that market. While on the ground, Amazon’s transpo company, Zoox, has debuted their first fully autonomous vechicle, guaranteed to speed up ground taxi service and packager delivery! Also, the Chinese have achieved that latest breakthrough in quantum computers, using light rather than electrons for computing. We also had a great conversation about the new iPhone-based DNA sequencer, a kind of tricorder, and Mrs. Future gave a nice report on an existing solar system super highway that will make space travel faster and more affordable. And then, there is the rise of the Xenobots, the first fully biological robots…enjoy!
