"All about the Space Shuttle" probably describes at least the first 11 years of my life. That Challenger explosion changed a lot for my generation, though. Or rather, my part of this generation - kids who were in school when it blew up.
It's interesting, I distinctly remember the Challenger explosion with Christa McAuliffe in 1986 (I was 21 and in college), but not the Columbia in 2003
I'm working on my piece for Friday, which accidentally features Eric Schmidt. I'm listening to his 'AI is Underhyped' Ted talk from a couple of months ago and he calls out Dark Matter & Dark Energy at 19:20 in :) The whole thing is pretty good. Didn't answer my questions but still pretty good. https://youtu.be/id4YRO7G0wE?si=S4Bp2LDDKoWzCSUB&t=1163
I just read your article from last year. Yes, I think extraterrestrials are our there. Where are they? Any of the possibilities you listed are plausible, but I like the Zoo answer the best. Humans can be so arrogant.
I read Project Hail Mary a few years ago. Thanks for posting the link to the trailer. Looks like they are spending a lot more time on Earth than the book. I guess the non-space geeks need some reason to go see it.
Yeesh, you make me feel OLD, Andrew! But your first memory is a great one. Mine is a trip to an RR depot in Buffalo, NY, around 1956. Rail travel was still popular then, before the Interstates and massive automobility.
You may be old Frank, but you’re kicking! I expect the mortality rate is lower in your profession than astronauts, so well played.
In LA, there is a big park in the middle of the city called Griffith Park and they have collected all the old railroad cars together there and it’s called Travel Town. It’s magnificent and while it doesn’t rank with rockets in my brain, I do have a core memory of an early birthday party their that included climbing on lots of old locomotives.

Wow, same. Just now had to remind myself that it was even a thing!

AI is gonna unlock some secrets.
