Dance Party NEW YEAR with Halle Blessing and Taressa Bell
And let us not forget the “ISness” as defined by one of our guests this week, none other than Hallelujah Blessing, co-creator of the Bliss Mountain Retreat in beautiful Lake County, California. He is joined by his beloved, Teresa Bell, who sings a blessing for the new year before sharing with us a little about who and what she and Hallelujah are creating. We also have history with them from their days in Santa Cruz, where we shared many adventuers with them, some of which we share in this week’s podcast. I think you’ll also like our little experiment with “Larry and Mary,” our favorite AI hosts, where we test out their new interactive mode! Enjoy.

Ep.89 N:OW.2024.NOV26 Titan Rotocopter, Cybertrucks, Healthy Cocoa, Fat Cell Memory, Forbidden Planet

N:OW Thursday, November 28, 2024
Listen to 89 Future Now
 Welcome to our Thanksgiving week podcast.  We are on the road to Santa Fe to visit family for Thanksgiving, but at the last minute we were able to create this week’s offerings. 
Exciting times ahead in exploring Saturn’s moon Titan with a car sized rotocopter, and back on Earth a new drone based on a raptor is flying! Cybertrucks have recalled 6 times now, but this doesn’t seem to phase buyers. Why not? Well, we tell you the surprising answer!  
And for the stress of the holidays, don’t forget the Cocoa, which has many benefits, including stress reduction.  But beware, fat cells have memory, especially after a diet, and tend to want to regain their happy fat status!  And nostalgically, the classic SciFi film, ‘Forbidden Planet,’ is finally being remade with modern special fx, etc. Oh boy, the ancient ones known as the Krell are rising once again!  Happy Thanksgiving!
 
Happy Thanksgiving! Stuffing in a can. Press the button, and Thanksgiving Dinner just got a whole lot easier!
 
 

Ep.87 N:OW.2024.NOV12 Humanoid and Dog Robots, Captagon, Lunar Samples

Open Source Humanoids, Lunar Samples, Mystery Satellite moves, Tractor Beam like Optical Tweezers, Captagon use impacts Middle East, Trump's Robot Dog, Surgeon robot learns by watching Youtube movies, service robots learn to please us and scrub toilets through example.
As much as 2024 is the rise of AI, it looks like 2025 will be the year humanoid robots come into their own.

Open sourcing the hardware and sofware will certainly speed up the creation of these service robots; its interesting that the academics in China are leading that movement.  And it’s also fascinating that the robots are learning not just by doing, but by watching and imitating humans performing tasks and operations, like good students.

It looks like the Chinese are also making samples of their lunar soil collection available to worthy parties, relevant because their samples are from where we want to go, the South Pole of the moon.  And more success in the use of stem cells in restoring human vision for those suffering from damaged corneas!  Enjoy!

Ep.86 N:OW.2024.NOV05 Election Highlights, Planet of Mice, Dwarf 3 SpaceCam, UAP Hunters, AI News, Moon News

Election High/Low Lights, Fav Propositions, Planet of the Mice, ISS Voting, Dwarf 3 new giant among amateur astrophotographers/UAP Hunters, Fun with new AI Agent, NASA Lunar South Pole Landing Sites Chosen  
Given where we are, how could we not have our version of an election show? Well, we did include some election stories, but with results (from the future, of course!) And a talkative AI to help us with the finer points.  And a story on how the astronauts on the ISS got their votes in on time, without resorting to paper ballots! 
The Dwarf 3, the world’s smallest smartest telescope so far!
Also highlighted this week is our AI ‘Larry and Mary” story on stem cell hybridization of our species; also a look at the Dwarf 3, a $500 smart telescope that blew us away with it’s portability and quality shooting of the cosmos, and a look at NASA’s choice of Lunar South Pole landing spots for the manned Artemis III mission coming up in a few years.  Enjoy!

Ep.082 N:OW.2024.OCT08 Hacking AIs, Nuclear Thunderstorms, Navigating the Milky Way, Interviews with Evolutionary Agents

E 82 
Hacking AI's for fun, U-2 Explores Nuclear Thunderstorms, Dynamic 3D Navigation of Milky Way, Exciting Fruit Fly Brain Map, Michael Mercury Astrology, Andrew B and Connie BM on their new Australian film, First signs of Apple Intelligence, 6th Sense discovered in Geckos
The most fun AI Hack of the week was fooling Google NotebookLM’s virtual talk show hosts into thinking that they were humans that discovered they were actually AI’s, and it was time to turn off. A hilarious comedic skit!
 
 Also fascinating this week is NASA’s discovery that large thunderstorms are emitting gamma radiation! They discovered this by flying a repurposed U-2 spy plane over many thunderstorms with very sensitive radiation detectors. What could this mean?  What’s fun to play with now is a detailed 3D navigable map of our very own Milky Way Galaxy, courtesy of the Euopean Space Organization.
 
If you enjoyed  exploring Google Earth, you’ll love checking out our galaxy! And speaking of cool maps, there is the first complete 3D map of a fruit fly brain, with 60% shared DNA with humans! Over ten years in the making this interactive map/simulator of brain function will no doubt blaze a fiery trail of cognitive understanding..
 
Also in this episode we feature excerpts from two full length interviews we recently conducted with Michael Mercury, noted astrologer and deep thinker, and consciousness documentary team, Andrew Bailey and Connie Baxter Marlow, just back from Australia where they were conducting interview for their latest film, “In Search of the Future, the only way out is up!”   Click on these links if you want to listen to the full interview. Enjoy!

Ep.080 N:OW.2024SEP24 Irish Megalithic Equinox, Brain Lasers, Zapping Asteroids, Danny Sheehan on Intergalactic Alien Disclosures

E 80 
Megalithic Equinox in Ireland with Sun, Bobby W on laser light for brain health, zapping asteroids with X-rays, Solar power from Space, Report on Danny Sheehan's Intergalactic Gathering and Alien Disclosures
Happy Autumn everyone, my favorite time of year!  I may be a little biased, as my birthday is coming up, but hey, the cooler weather sparks me, what can I say?  My wifey poo, Sun, aka Mrs. Future reports in from Ireland and the Equinox she celebrated there at an ancient megalithic site, Newgrange and Knowth. Bobby Wilder has exciting news about the therapeutic powers of laser light, space news this week suggests x-ray blasts for moving asteroids away from Earth impacts, and solar power from space via large low earth orbit mirrors focused on earth-based solar farms on Earth. 
And this week also features our takeaways, including audio clips from Danny Sheehan and the New Paradigm Institute on their work in bringing to light secret government info on alien presences on Earth and a pragmatic path forward in providing full disclosure to the public at large.  Plus, the Paradigm Institute featured a great schmooze and dance party afterwards.  Enjoy!
 

Ep.076 N:OW.2024.AUG20 Vacay Bonus Mix: AI & Space News, Analyst Ryan Sarnataro on RFK Jr. Election Impact, & Vacay Best Of Show

E 76
Molecule Reverses Alzheimer's, Guardrail Free Grok-2 AI Imagery, Psyche Rust, Analyst Ryan Sarnataro on RFK Jr. impact on Presidential Election, PLUS VACAY Bonus Mix Show
N:OW Sunday, August 18, 2024
We are briefly back in town, before heading to Maui for a couple of weeks, enough to produce one local show! If the molecule DDL-920 works for humans as well as mice, beyond slowing cognitive decline it may actually restore memories! I you are excited about creating imagery with AI, consider the new Grok-2 image generator, which has far fewer restriction on what you can create than just about every other offering in the field. And in Space News, it would appear that our super valuable metal asteroid, 16 Psyche is rusting, WTF?
 
Our guest, local RFK Jr. supporter Ryan Sarnataro discusses the upcoming presidential election with us, and helps us understand how RFK Jr. is still relevant in the race, especially in his ability to affect Trump supporters. It has also been said that he has so many skeletons in the closet that if they could all come out and vote, he’d win the election! We look at some of those skeletons as well as the core issues in this scintillating political discussion with Ryan, Bobby, and us. Enjoy!
