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.

Communicating science inevitably involves a trade off between brevity and nuance. Commentator Tania Lombrozo confronts the dilemma with a 140-character challenge.
This – No Rest For The Dead – 26 authors. So this idea kind of exists. Great. Ain’t read it, I hate crime or scarey stuff in books, life’s hard enough.
Relay reading is a thing too, though not sure if that adds anything to the story. Love the idea that each author passes it on to one of their hero’s to see what they would do with the story. Do these actually exist anywhere though?
Anthony Horowitz fans gather to break a world reading relay record
Antony Horowitz’s new short story,The Double Eagle Has Landed, available to read in full exclusively online on Guardian children’s books, is at the heart of a record-breaking reading attempt
Ahh, John Green is in this list. I have linked to his latest best-seller here. He is the perfect guy to start a relay book, then send it to his brother Hank to twist the story up and send it off on a tangent. Who knows who Hank would hand it to, but this would be a great experiment as well as an interesting read.

Collaborative fiction is its name. I like the idea of passing the story on and seeing where it goes. Usually collabs are partnerships but a collaborative author may focus on a specific protagonist or character in the narrative thread, and then pass the story to another writer for further additions or a change in focus to a different protagonist.

Great idea, currently you can only assign function keys – but I may want to switch from qwerty to a custom setup, gamers have customisable keyboards, but they still need the keys to be light up rather than printed on, so they can change them.
These things have a sheet of icons that you stick on – crazy! Just make each key into a tiny display and use whatever symbol you want innit. And why can’t you get them for normal keyboards?

Wow cool idea, never even throught of that plus…. “While the Smartpen allows you to take traditional ink notes, it simultaneously makes a digital copy of everything you write. And here’s when the real magic happens: the Smartpen also records everything you hear or say as you write. Later, if you tap a word, the Smartpen will play back whatever was recorded at the time those notes were taken.”
This is not your average pen. Find out how the Echo Smartpen syncs audio with handwritten notes and digitizes them -- and learn a few tricks along the way.

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!”

Shopfy do books too
WARNING!!!
This exists of course, its just that it’s called “print on demand”
didn’t realise these exist but searched and found this, which looks cool,
This? (already)
They exist, and you can buy them on Amazon.
But if you lose them (in your body for example) they can cause big problems.

Such a clever little idea, but it’s an important one. Kepler uncovered that simple is best when it comes to modeling (and making) the world.

Goodreads list these books with multiple authors, but I can’t find anything where the story is passed on as a relay effort.

Even better idea? These ones glow.
less than a dollar. good idea.
OMG over a hundred quid and the couldn’t manage to point the light in the same direction as the pen. Get it together!
Good idea, I saw them on amazon.
