IM MAKING AN ANIMATED SHORT FILM! And it’s gonna have rocket launches and realistic orbital mechanics and moon landings and anthro animals and it’s called Loihi! And even though I’m setting aside many hours every day to animating it, I still would like some help!
If you wanna voice act, or help me with the gargantuan amount of artwork that needs to be made to get this thing complete like concept art, storyboards, backgrounds (2D or 3D for all of these) I’d appreciate it immensely! I can’t offer much besides a name in the credits and we won’t complete the finished product at least until next year, but it’ll be a hell of a cool feeling once it’s done!

I synced the new @SpaceX Starship catch animation to Life on Mars by David Bowie.
French MPs have proposed a symbolic €1 budget line for Dassault's VORTEX spaceplane programme to press the government to clarify how it plans to fund the project.

Been researching just what the hell has been going on with ESA’s Themis hopper and God damn, over 6 years for a Grasshopper equivalent planning on flying just a tenth of its altitude is a pretty dire. There’s apparently a chance that they get defunded if they miss the next deadline but it seems pretty likely that these don’t really mean anything and they’ll just get another extension if they don’t hop by the end of this year
Five Nights At Boston Dynamics
Introducing Hugo: the first human companion robot.
At Boston Dynamics, I was Chief Strategy Officer, bringing robots into the real world.
My co-founder, Farbod Farshidian, led research at the RAI Institute.
Together, 15+ years teaching robots to run, jump, and work.
So we asked: what if robots could connect with people?
Hugo runs on the first Vision-Language-Expression (VLE) model.
He links what he sees and hears to movement, expression, and gesture.
He notices you, reads the room, and reacts in real time.
And he's only the first.
