  • ๐Ÿš€ Today is the 100-year anniversary of the first liquid-fueled rocket launch

    Like the Wright Brothers, Robert Goddardโ€™s flight changed rocketry forever, pioneering today’s mainstay, liquid-fueled SpaceX rockets. I have some artifacts from his 1926 flight (see comments below). But first, I am pointing to a scale model of Nell โ€” Goddardโ€™s 10โ€™ tall rocket powered by gasoline and liquid oxygen. It went just 41โ€™ up in… Read More

  • Marvell at the Mojo for AI Optical Interconnect

    By using a grid of micro-LEDs instead of lasers, Mojo delivers 100x more bandwidth/channel and lower energy/bit. Mojoโ€™s fiber has thousands of physically discrete channels for massively multiplexed bandwidth + redundancy for reliability in orbital data centers. Today, Marvell announced their long-term partnership with Mojo to develop a new class of optical interconnect solutions for… Read More

  • Introducing ZaiNar โ€” novel PNT in software

    ZaiNar emerges today from 9 years of stealth. The company has developed a totally novel technology that tracks the location of anything that emits a radio signal (phones, drones, vehicles, IoT devices, anything with cellular or WiFi). No new hardware needed, and you get sub-meter accuracy for location and sub-nanosecond for timing sync. As AI… Read More

    The cover (below) shows a top down slice of the SPARC fusion plant, with a ring of 18 D-shaped toroidal magnets, each strong enough to levitate an aircraft carrier. Embedded in the center of the cover is a slice of their superconducting VIPER cable that makes the magnets. CFS VIPER: "The magnet can handle strong… Read More
