🚀Polaris Dawn Mission Success!👩‍🚀

Fellow Futurists,

🚀👩‍🚀👨‍🚀What an amazing day for comercial space flight!!!

Huge congratulations to SpaceX on the first comercial space walk in history. The crew flew out 700km then stepped out to streach their legs and test the new extravehicular activity(EVA) suits. Building a base on the Moon and a city on Mars will require thousands of spacesuits; the development of this suit and the execution of the EVA are important steps toward a scalable design for spacesuits on future. While the earth-to-space side of the mission was impressive in itself, what really blew my mind was Starlink’s l laser based space-to-earth streaming video link. I’m still digging deeper into this side of it and trust me… 🤯

I fell down a space tech rabbit hole a few months back so I was fully geeked out with my own ‘mini’ mission control setup this morning using GPredict, an open source satellite tracking suite, and the spacex YouTube channel.

Apologies to my neighbors who were wondering why the crazy tech guy was waving an attenna around at 5am this morning. 🙇‍♂️ No radio signals from the capsule, I do have a pretty sweet setup now to pinpoint 🛰 space junk as it flys by though and it works great!

What a time to be alive!

EthereumPoW abandoned

TL:DR: The team who tried to money grab during the merge ran out of money and abandoned the chain.

Ethereum Classic is still the worlds largest Proof of Work EVM network. Decentralized, immutable, and open for business.

RISC Zero zkevm

🚀 Exciting developments in the world of general-purpose zk technology! We’re witnessing the debut of the world’s first Type 0 zkevm, boasting full EVM compatibility. This translates to a fully STARKed Ethereum!

🔗 The critical element in realizing a comprehensive proof network is consensus. Thanks to zeth, it’s now possible to zk-proof every dimension of Ethereum. At the heart of this advancement? The zkvm, powered by Rust as its foundational programming language. This unlocks access to thousands of Rust crates, offering an expansive toolkit for creating intricate proof systems.

Stay tuned to witness the transformative potential of this breakthrough! 💡

🔍 Exploring the Depth of Zero Knowledge Applications

2023 has been an exceptional year for the realm of Zero Knowledge applications. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, at its heart, Zero Knowledge is about proving you possess specific knowledge without revealing the content of that knowledge.

Imagine the profound implications such a concept can have for businesses:

🔹 Identity Verification: Safeguarding user identity while validating their authenticity.

🔹 Private Finance: Facilitating confidential transactions without revealing financial details.

🔹 Private Computing: Processing data without exposing its content.

🔹 Gaming: Ensuring fair play without revealing game secrets.

While the roots of Zero Knowledge sprouted in the blockchain ecosystem, the technology has now evolved, expanded, and stands as a robust pillar on its own. Its applications are broadening the horizons of privacy, security, and trust in our digital age.

This article is a great introduction to the space for anyone looking to start at the beginning:
