Brazil and China are moving forward to deepen their partnership in space-related matters by progressing with the construction of the Joint Radio Astronomy Technology Laboratory. The project involves the participation of a state-owned defense company known as the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation.
The two nations are also advancing the construction of South America’s largest radio telescope, known as “BINGO.” But China is not an innocent space explorer, but rather a dangerous adversary seeking to improve military capabilities in the U.S. area of influence.

The second stage of the Falcon Heavy launch of ViaSat 3-F3 performing a routine thrust event. This produced a spiraled-shaped plume effect, a nominal part of operations for a successful launch of Viasat's latest satellite.
Our @NASARoman space telescope is officially slated to launch on Aug. 30!

O Telescópio Espacial James Webb fez talvez sua descoberta mais profunda até o momento. As observações do telescópio validam uma teoria intrigante de que o nosso Universo inteiro estaria dentro de um buraco negro. "Esta descoberta pode explodir sua mente"😱
🚨 ELON MUSK: “I THINK I’M A CENTRIST. BUT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SOMEONE ON THE FAR LEFT, WE LOOK RIGHT-WING.”
“The left has gone so far left that they can’t even see the center with a telescope.”
The Overton window has shifted so far that basic common sense now looks extreme to some.
Elon Musk just proved that the body is optional.
A quadriplegic sat motionless in a chair and played a video game using nothing but thought.
No hands. No voice. No movement whatsoever.
Just a decision firing across a chip the size of a coin.
Musk: “You just lie there and think, and you can move the mouse cursor around the screen and click things.”
Download software. Browse the web. Navigate a screen with the same effort you use to remember your mother’s name.
Without lifting a finger.
Because he can’t.
And now he doesn’t have to.
That isn’t a product demo.
That is a quadriplegic man doing with silence what you do with your entire body.
And this is the version with a thousand electrodes.
Musk: “I think ultimately you need something which has probably a hundred thousand or a million electrodes.”
A thousand gave us telepathy.
A million gives us something that doesn’t have a name yet.
Musk is honest about how far this still has to go.
He’s not overselling it.
He’s underselling it.
Because the part that should keep you up tonight isn’t what Neuralink still has to build.
It’s that the line between human thought and machine action already disappeared.
And the world just kept scrolling.
Musk: “Our human brain has a lot of constraints. We only have about maybe 10 watts of higher brain function.”
Ten watts.
That’s less than the light inside your refrigerator.
Every empire ever built. Every symphony ever written. Every theory that bent the arc of history.
Ten watts of wet biological circuitry.
Musk: “It’s not bad for a bunch of monkeys.”
He’s not joking.
He’s framing the question nobody wants to sit with.
If ten watts of constrained primate hardware produced Shakespeare and general relativity and nuclear fission, what happens when the constraint disappears?
Not when the brain gets faster.
When the wall between thinking something and doing something no longer exists.
The entire history of human tools has been one long negotiation with the same problem.
You think something. Then you spend hours, years, lifetimes turning that thought into reality.
Your hands. Your voice. Your body.
Fire shortened the distance. Language shortened it more. Writing. The printing press. Electricity. Code.
Every invention ever built was a cruder, slower translation layer between the mind and the world.
Neuralink isn’t another layer.
It’s the elimination of translation itself.
Diamandis: “It’s a matter of when, not if.”
Musk didn’t push back.
He just kept discussing electrode counts like an engineer reviewing specs on a vehicle that already left the ground.
That calm is the tell.
The philosophical event already happened.
A thought left a human skull, entered a machine, and executed a command in the physical world.
No hand touched anything.
No mouth spoke.
A man thought the word “move” and the screen obeyed.
Every tool before this was a prosthetic for intention.
This is intention, naked, arriving without a body.
The oldest question in philosophy was never about what we can build.
It was about where the mind ends and the world begins.
Neuralink just made that question obsolete.
We just shipped a new feature for SN/06: TeleArms — RoboPlayground.
Users can now control and toggle between vision cameras for smoother teleoperation-in-simulation while completing challenges.
We still have a few private beta codes left. RT + comment if you want one. 🦾
