In this chat, Bryan and I dive into a bunch of tech and sci-fi topics. We kick things off with the Boeing Starliner issues and brainstorm how to safely bring the astronauts back to Earth. Then we shift to geoengineering, exploring the idea of artificially cooling our planet. We also touch on the Earth's inner core slowing down and what that means. We wrap up with smart glasses, discussing their challenges and the cool possibilities they offer.Later, Bryan and I chat about the Fold 5 smartphone, a screenless laptop, a new weather satellite, and the Starlink Mini. Bryan loves his Fold 5, praising its versatility, despite the screen crease and weight. The screenless laptop, which uses a projector and smart glasses, sounds like a game-changer for productivity and space-saving. The NORAD GOES-U satellite aims to enhance weather and space weather forecasts, which is crucial for understanding climate change. Finally, we discuss the Starlink Mini, a portable satellite internet device perfect for remote areas, considering its applications and affordability.Patreon for AD Free and Extra Content: https://www.patreon.com/SofanautsBoeing’s Starliner Stuck at Space Station: Unraveling Helium Leaks and Thruster Troubles: https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/06/nasa-indefinitely-delays-return-of-starliner-to-review-propulsion-data/  https://scitechdaily.com/boeings-starliner-stuck-at-space-station-unraveling-helium-leaks-and-thruster-troubles/Can we artificially cool the planet?
