On the west coast of Ireland, another bunch of siblings are working on their radical and bold idea, quietly building the laser backbone of space connectivity. @johnlmackey, Ruth and David Mackey are the co-founders of @mbryonics, developing some of the world’s most advanced optical systems to enable the internet in space Imagine a world where data travels through light in space. Imagine next-generation data centres in space harnessing the power of the sun to run the most complex computations instantly, only for it to travel across a laser mesh network covering every part of the globe made up of hundreds of thousands of satellites and directly to your device. This is a world that Mbryonics is building for.

Today, for the first time in half a century, America has returned to the Moon 🇺🇸. On the eighth day of a quarter-million-mile voyage, @Int_Machines aced the landing of a lifetime. What a feat for IM, @SpaceX & @NASA. What a triumph for humanity. Odysseus has taken the Moon.

The way the beaches in Roundstone were left after the spell of good weather, is an absolute disgrace. Please take your rubbish home with you after your day at the beach!! This is not okay! Massive thanks to the local people that took the time to clean this up!! – at Galway, Ireland

"In 1840, 2.9 million people lived in Netherlands. In Ireland 8 million. Today there are 17.1 million Dutch people. Had the Irish population expanded at a same rate there would be 47.1 million people in Ireland today". Ireland is not full, it is empty! irishtimes.com/opinion/2023/…

The lack of accommodation is hindering the ability of four out of every five businesses in Galway to hire staff. That rises to nine out of every ten businesses in the tech sector, a new survey by Galway Chamber of Commerce found rte.ie/news/business/2023/04…

My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.

A poignant moment as a retired member of the defence forces,who had waited patiently, walks to the roadside to salute his fallen comrade. He respectfully straightens his blue beret and green jacket before giving Private Séan Rooney his salute. #seanrooney #UNIFIL
