Agreed, and the Vikings loved their ships – Njord was the god of ships and seafaring, as well as the god of wealth and prosperity – Musk likely knows the two can live together.
Similar to Greek mythology, which had the Olympians and the Titans, the Norse had not one pantheon, but two. But while the two groups of Norse gods, the Vanir and Aesir, did go to war against each other once like the Titans and Olympians, they had a mostly peaceful – if sometimes strained – rela...

Reminded me of this – great article, including the quote “Yes, Musk is being polite to Trump because he wants to save humanity in case of the totally plausible scenario wherein he can stop Trump from triggering nuclear Armageddon. It certainly has nothing to do with maintaining those generous government investments.”
The Nile River was the source of life for the ancient Egyptians and so figured prominently in their religious beliefs. At night, the Milky Way was considered a heavenly Nile, associated with Hathor…
Yeah, the cults are already in their early stages. however don’t hold your breath for a second-coming… “Hero worship can blind you to certain realities. You may believe that Musk will figure it all out, that he’ll meet production goals for Tesla, colonize Mars and power the world with batteries. But what if he doesn’t? What if Tesla runs out of cash before all these visions become a reality?”
Hero worship can blind you to certain realities. If you buy shares of Tesla, you’re buying into the idea that Elon Musk, the face of the company, has what it takes to defy the odds, quiet the naysayers and turn Tesla into a profitable company. But what if he doesn’t?
Agreed. and Gerard K. O’Neill didn’t see us sitting in a tin can. The colonies are supposed to be made of a transparent material much like glass. They are also imagined to be self-sustaining, which is a major plus during an era when “sustainable” is one of the buzzwords for off-Earth living.
No reason folk won’t give thanks to the vehicles that get them to their space hotels. Not sure about needing to worship anyone, but looks cosy enough, compared to banging around in a tin can.
Hilton Teams Up with Voyager Starlab Space Station to Create Modern Astronaut Suites

Aside from creating modern hospitality suites and sleeping arrangements, Hilton is set to also co... Read more
Men have a right to peaceful existence – some Indians are now worshipping Musk as a way to use his name for publicity, fact is stranger than fiction in a funny old world.
These Men’s Rights Activists Literally Worship Elon Musk
“If DNA data storage ever does go mainstream, you might have Marlon Brando to thank. Or at least, Olgica Milenkovic’s admiration for him.
Dr. Milenkovic, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is one of the pioneers of the effort to store data on DNA. Her first paper, in 2015, used IDT’s gBlocks Gene Fragments to demonstrate random access and information rewriting on a DNA-based storage system. Her second used gBlocks and an Oxford Nanopore Sequencer 7.0 to encode text-oriented files from Wikipedia, then extended that to images.
Brando made DNA storage history with Milenkovic’s third paper. In that study, her team used oPools to encode eight Brando images in a more cost-effective approach to storage.
“I was very biased,” she said of the decision to use Brando. “I always loved his movies.”
Space witches – i shit you not

Story idea done already, sort of. Easily the most important divine vessel was the Barque of Ra which sailed across the sky each day as the sun.

Point taken, but love rather than hate already – love this tweet reply “The tin can throwers are a menace!”

its a thing – just ain’t caught on enough to do a whole library yet.
