Kitty Hawk Flying Car

The flying car company, funded entirely by Larry Page, has been testing for several months now at a secret lake location. I had the cool opportunity to see them in action a while back, but could not talk about it until now.

The vehicle has a floating pontoon that is excluded from the 250 lb. weight of the vehicle in the regulations for ultralight aircraft because it is “safety equipment”. This regulation covers lightweight craft that are excluded from FAA certification and pilot license requirements. Clever! kittyhawk.aero/.

The metaverse, which requires a massive amount of computing power, is set to benefit global chipmakers— but other tech-related industries could also gain from it, analysts say.

Widely seen as the next generation of the internet, the metaverse refers broadly to a virtual world where humans interact through three-dimensional avatars that can be controlled via virtual reality headsets like Oculus.

Through the metaverse, users can engage in virtual activities such as gaming, virtual concerts or live sports.

A 14 Million-Year-Old Bubble Is the Source of All New Stars Around Us

And the “Local Bubble” continues to grow in size.

14 million years ago a series of supernovae exploded pushing gas outwards and making a bubble that had conditions ideal for the formation of new young stars that we see around us. These are the findings from researchers at the Center for Astrophysics (CfA) Harvard and Smithsonian, an institutional press release said.

The origin of the universe and its many many stars keeps amazing us. While there are many theories surrounding the formation of our universe, science demands proof and that is why we send out space telescopes to peer far out in space and way back in time to understand how we got here. The most recent addition is the James Webb Space Telescope, which is just a few months away from sending us its first-ever image.

The startup thinks that aerial commuting is inevitable within the next 10 years.

New test flight footage shows that we are in the midst of the flying car revolution, propelled by new eVTOL designs that are taking to the skies with increasing frequency.

London-based startup Bellwether Industries released footage of the first untethered flight of a half-scale prototype of its ‘Volar’ eVTOL private flying car. The company says it believes it is an inevitability that people will commute in the skies within the next decade.
