GM ☕️ & happy Sunday ✨

i'm not much of a car person, but it always amazes me how you sit in a box propelled by a series of controlled explosions. strapped to a rocket, basically. and yet current cars are almost self-driving and you can just... chill, listen to music.

airplanes figured this out earlier. autopilot has been doing the boring parts for decades. now they're landing themselves, talking to air traffic control autonomously in emergencies. and we're getting there with personal drones too — i believe personal aircraft will be end-user controlled. no certified pilots required, just software.

the wright brothers flew something held together by faith, linen and a bicycle chain. the distance from that to "the plane handles it" is shorter than it looks.

and then space. right now you train for years just to leave the planet. i believe that will feel as quaint as needing a carriage driver. push of a button. moon and back. enjoy the view.

speaking of views...
