Will definitely given that one a listen! Many thanks.

A massive stone arch straddles the horizon. The milky white stone texture of the "rainbow" stands against misty lavender sky. Gray-blue lines mark randomly patterns of interconnected lines and shapes. Circle, egg, broken ladder, swirl, hour glass—none of the shapes or lines repeat. Transparent spheres, each containing a solitary flame, float toward the arch. A long causeway extends out across a channel of blue water to the center of the arch. The channel splits what appears to be a futuristic city as seen from very high up. Skyscraper-like structures appear tiny against a stretch of flat concrete as they cast long shadows that run parallel to the horizon.

In this week’s newsletter, Michael provides advice on airbrushing, makes a statement on humanity’s long walk off a short pier, and discusses his one true homage to Jacques-Louis David’s Napoleon Crossing the Alps.

Likewise. Some of my fav soundtracks:
Inception.
LOTR
2001: A Space Odyssey
Silent Running
The Planets - not a soundtrack but has been used endlessly in the media.

Celebrating the Artemis II mission through poetry: “An ocean world, an orb of light in a sea of darkness. As if here is a beacon to hold the shadows at bay in our little corner of the Spiral Arm..."

Space Stations ! Science labs, listening posts, last best hopes for peace or simply waystations out in the dark. It's no secret that Babylon 5 was my gateway into using #Lightwave3d so I have a soft spot for space stations. #Scifi #ScifiArt

The ‘Father Of AGI’ Warns Workers To Build 3 Skills Before Jobs Vanish Leading AI researcher Ben Goertzel reveals that robots may be equally or more intelligent than humans in two years, and shares three skills workers need to build now.

The father of AGI, Ben Goertzel, believes that we are a mere two or three years away from achieving fully independent human-level artificial intelligence, known as AGI (artificial general intelligence)

It only came out last week but delighted to see my book is already heading far and wide.

This copy, on a tour of the Norwegian fjords, is probably the furthest from home so far.

Thank you to Ann for the photo of your holiday read!

Anyone who thought today's phone-in on BBC Radio 5 Live @bbc5live.bsky.social on #AI disconcerting will find #TheSentientOnes by @authorbnugent.bsky.social of immense interest. It's a scary scenario of what happens when AI really does take over and humans lose control. Doesn't bear thinking about!

With the original name "Baikal", with which the first ship (11F35 product 1.01 by the Ministry of Aircraft and 1K1 by the Ministry of Social Affairs) was taken to the site of the OKI (fire control tests) in the spring of 1988.

Captivating and brilliant!

Ready to meet the cosmic bat? 🦇

Hidden in one of the darkest corners of the Orion constellation, NGC 1788 resembles a bat. This nebula is spreading its hazy "wings" through interstellar space two thousand light-years away.

Space! "Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind bogglingly big it is" So it's always nice to have something your ship can fly over, under, beneath or in front of. #Lightwave3d renders of various spacey scenes. Favouring colour over realism 😉

@artistburns.bsky.social Have a fab day, Jackie!

The BBC2 Horizon programme Artemis: To The Moon And Back was awesome.The UK production team had to have worked like stink to incorporate the Artemis II mission shots and film segments throughout the BBC programme. Honestly, I’ll be watching that on repeat for the next few months. Highly recommended

45 yrs ago today I was living at home with my parents; I remember watching the return of Columbia on the living room TV: back then it felt like SF, a winged spaceplane arriving as if from the future to herald a new era of space exploration.

I miss my 24/7 space show 🥲

What an amazing week filled with science, space, and art! Taking a few much needed days off, but I plan to make a couple more Artemis minis before I release them next month 🫶
