"If disclosure is going to have real teeth for anyone besides true believers, then show us some real alien teeth, or skin, or tentacles. Until there are samples that can be shared with scientists around the world, the whole story is just that—a story."
From my Atlantic piece on yesterday’s Disclosure Disappointment. Find the story at their website.
Scientist shocks world demanding everyone just shut up about Pluto!
😀
Actually, there's a VERY cool science reason why Pluto was kicked out of the planet club. It's all about the rest of the solar system.

The outpouring of interest in Artemis II is something worth considering. Today in my @Forbes column, I look at one aspect of its promise. The space economy is already in past 500 billion.
Space is not just about exploration.

ust got had a lovely discussion with Sara Sidner on @CNN about the successful Translunar Injection Burn and the amazing math behind it all.
Go science!
I am deeply honored to be giving the Edwin Salpeter Lecture at Cornell next week. Salpeter was truly one of the great astronomers of the 20th century and, of course, Cornell was the home of Carl Sagan.
