Books change lives. Very occasionally, I've heard that of my own books, & it's the most wonderful thing for an author when that happens.

Yesterday I received this message out of the blue & of course it made my day.

If a book's made an impression on you, leave a great review. Let the author know.

Lovely to see a bite out of the Sun from here in London. My Nothing phone did a good job of snapping it through the #eclipse glasses.

Peter Saville has competition!

Today was the #Wordle of the devil. And, no, that isn't a clue

#Happy2025 and beyond! Surely this will be the year Humanity decides to take a step further out, and begins planning in earnest to become a spacefaring species. Ad astral!

Magnitude 7.1 #earthquake off the #California coast just now. #Tsunami warning issued. Take care everyone.

Can science abolish death? If in #London town tonight, starting from 7pm at the #RoyalInstitution, @arielzj.bsky.social will explain why #TheFutureLovesYou. With #Hatchards on hand if you want to grab a copy of his fabulous book.

Amazing pic of stage separation ( #HotStaging) from the recent #Starship 6th Integrated Flight Test. Another rung climbed up the long ladder towards creating a Human colony on #Mars and spreading the light of consciousness and civilization through the Cosmos. And preventing Human extinction. #IFT6

The 6th #Starship Integrated Test Flight is still go for Tuesday, 10pm UK time (aka universal time). The journey to #Mars will be hard, but we are beginning to take longer strides. Hopefully there'll be a genuine Human colony before 2050, as we take our first steps to becoming #multiplanetary. #IFT6

Lovely London Town rainbow this evening, through a raised Tower Bridge. And, before you even think about it, I've already dug up the crock of gold at the end of it, so you're too late!

Here's a still from #SpaceX drone footage of the #SuperHeavy Booster9 static fire earlier. Apparently 4 of the 33 Raptor engines shut down prematurely, but afterwards the launchpad, complete with new water deluge system, looked perfectly fine. #Starship's second Orbital Flight Test edges closer.
