Yeah, Iβm awake now. That was wild. Biggest quake Iβve felt in years.
From all of us at the SETI Institute, we wish godspeed to Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy for the safe and successful completion of the #ArtemisII mission. This is a profound moment not only for NASA but for all of humanity, and our thoughts are with you. Congratulations on a successful launch!

Godspeed, Artemis II.
Oh. Oh. I am tearing up. I thought I was immune, but I was wrong.
We are go for launch.
Ah. He definitely knows more about that than I do from following the influences that combat that stuff.

Well then. I'll remember this next time he's up for reelection.
Yeah, I was deeply confused by why everything is protein-focused these days. I don't follow diet trends anymore. Then my husband pointed out the new food... pyramid? Whatever it is. It's heavily focused on protein. Which led me to sigh and roll my eyes. Just. Stahp.
I didn't know I needed this... but I did, and now I have it.
I'm marginally horrified, but then, we experimented with Peeps one Easter, including flambeing one. And then a friend said, "I want to drink it!"
Mistakes were made.
Yeah, Gen Z comes prepared. I raised one. I know. (When they take a shot, they aim it.)

Hi, Michael! I would love to have you on SETI Live to talk about your new book. Is there a way to reach you or your publicist to send a formal invitation?

I always enjoy chatting with Cynthia, and this interview was no different. Amazing how scientists and engineers quickly repurposed existing spacecraft to observe comet 3I/ATLAS, including Europa Clipper!
