Après une semaine marquée par les grands prix littéraires, gros plan aujourd'hui sur un roman français qui, justement, s'amuse du monde de l'édition et de ses récompenses. Intitulée Elisabeth Lima, cette fiction, publiée chez Christian Bourgois, est signée Lola Gruber, qui imagine comment trois amis montent une supercherie littéraire en inventant de toute pièce une romancière, Elisabeth Lima, sous le nom de laquelle ils publient un livre écrit ensemble. Lola Gruber est l'invitée culture de Catherine Fruchon-Toussaint. Lola Gruber, née en 1972, a travaillé dans les milieux du théâtre et du cinéma. Après un recueil de nouvelles très remarqué en 2005, Douze histoires d'amour à faire soi-même (Les Petits Matins) et un premier roman en 2009 Les Pingouins dans la jungle (Les Petits Matins), son roman Trois concerts (Phébus, 2019) a reçu quatre prix littéraires, dont le prix Alain Spiess. Horn venait la nuit (2024) récompensé par le prix Charles Oulmont vient d'être réédité dans la collection Satellites. Elisabeth Lima est son nouveau roman.

Satellite Tracking Reveals Increased Global Population Exposure to Floods (2000–2018). Professor Beth Tellman (Chief Science Officer and co-founder of Cloud to Street; Professor at the University of Arizona geography) discusses her peer-reviewed study, published in Nature magazine, using satellite imaging from NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites, equipped with the MODIS optical sensor, to track global flood events. This systematic mapping provides hard data of actual events, augmenting the global flood database, covering 913 observed flood events between 2000 and 2018. Her research identified an increase of up to 24% in the proportion of the population exposed to floods, indicating people are moving faster into flood plains than the general population growth rate. Limitations of the data include satellites being blocked by cloud cover and difficulty tracking sudden events like dam breaks or pluvial events. A significant concern is the underreporting bias of damaging floods in regions like sub-Saharan Africa. 1913 DAYTON

In 2025 we're used to being surveilled, it's just part of the modern world. But that doesn't mean surveillance wasn't happening in the past, too. And what if that historic surveillance was happening from beyond our world? Some believe that an ancient satellite known as the Black Knight has been floating high above earth studying us for hundreds or thousands of years. Sure it might sound like a baseless conspiracy theory, but why then, are there photos of the craft itself? Time for Rory and Kit to investigate!

The moon cycle from new moon through full moon and back to new moon again was used by many nations to regulate their activities and forms the basis of the Islamic lunar calendar. A calendar based on the first visibility of the lunar crescent is difficult to predict in advance since this observation depends on the clarity of the atmosphere and other local conditions. The interesting observational problem of when it is possible to spot the new moon has been analyzed in the scientific literature as an aid to historians who are seeking to interpret the writings of ancient civilizations.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Cryptogaucho to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, crypto, and Argentina's emerging role as a new frontier for innovation and governance. The conversation ranges from OpenAI's partnership with Sur Energy and the Stargate project to Argentina's RIGI investment framework, Milei's libertarian reforms, and the potential of space-based data centers and new jurisdictions beyond Earth. Cryptogaucho also reflects on Argentina's tech renaissance, its culture of resilience born from hyperinflation, and the rise of experimental communities like Prospera and Noma Collective. Follow him on X at @CryptoGaucho.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – Stewart Alsop opens with Cryptogaucho from Mendoza, talking about Argentina, AI, crypto, and the energy around new projects like Sur Energy and Satellogic.05:00 – They dive into Argentina's growing space ambitions, spaceport plans, and how jurisdiction could extend “upward” through satellites and data sovereignty.10:00 – The talk shifts to global regulation, bureaucracy, and why Argentina's uncertainty may become its strength amid red tape in the US and China.15:00 – Discussion of OpenAI's Stargate project, AI infrastructure in Patagonia, and the geopolitical tension between state and private innovation.20:00 – Cryptogaucho explains the “cepo” currency controls, the black market for dollars, and crypto's role in preserving economic freedom.25:00 – They unpack RIGI investment incentives, Argentina's new economic rules, and efforts to attract major projects like data centers and nuclear reactors.30:00 – Stewart connects hyperinflation to resilience and abundance in the AI era, while Cryptogaucho reflects on chaos, adaptability, and optimism.35:00 – The conversation turns philosophical: nation-states, community networks, Prospera, and the rise of new governance models.40:00 – They explore Argentina's global position, soft power, and its role as a frontier of Western ideals.45:00 – Final reflections on AI in space, data centers beyond Earth, and freedom of information as humanity's next jurisdiction.Key InsightsArgentina as a new technological frontier: The episode positions Argentina as a nation uniquely situated between chaos and opportunity—a place where political uncertainty and flexible regulation create fertile ground for experimentation. Stewart Alsop and Cryptogaucho argue that this openness, combined with a culture forged in crisis, allows Argentina to become a testing ground for new models of governance, technology, and sovereignty.The convergence of AI, energy, and geography: OpenAI's deal with Sur Energy and plans for a data center in Patagonia signal how Argentina's geography and resources are becoming integral to the global AI infrastructure. Cryptogaucho highlights the symbolic and strategic power of Argentina serving as a “southern node” for the intelligence economy.Economic reinvention through RIGI: The RIGI framework offers tax and regulatory advantages to major investors, marking a turning point in Argentina's attempt to attract stable, high-value industries such as server farms, mining, and biotech. It represents a pragmatic balance between libertarian reform and national development.Crypto and currency freedom: Cryptogaucho recounts how Argentina's crypto community arose from necessity during hyperinflation and currency controls. Bitcoin and stablecoins became lifelines for developers and entrepreneurs locked out of traditional banking systems, teaching the world about decentralized resilience.AI abundance and human adaptation: The discussion draws parallels between hyperinflation's unpredictability and the overwhelming speed of AI progress. Stewart suggests that Argentina's social adaptability, born from scarcity and instability, may prepare its citizens for a future defined by abundance and rapid technological flux.Network states and new governance: The conversation explores Prospera, Noma Collective, and the idea of city-scale governance networks. These experiments, blending blockchain, law, and community, are seen as prototypes for post-nation-state organization—where trust and culture matter more than geography.Space as the next jurisdiction: The episode ends with an exploration of space as a new legal and economic domain. Satellites, data centers, and orbital communication networks could redefine sovereignty, creating “data islands” beyond Earth where information flows freely under new kinds of governance—a vision of humanity's next frontier.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has sold stocks for 12 consecutive quarters, building a record $382 billion cash pile as the legendary investor prepares to step down as CEO, signaling caution about market conditions. Meanwhile, Big Tech is going the opposite direction—Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta are collectively spending over $380 billion on AI infrastructure, though investor reactions have been mixed due to unclear ROI paths, especially for Meta. India faces a severe trade crisis as US tariffs hit 50%, causing exports to plummet 37.5% between May and September, devastating sectors from textiles to smartphones. On a positive note, ISRO successfully launched India's heaviest communication satellite (4,410kg) from Indian soil, proving growing self-reliance in space technology. Finally, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is actively improving relations with India as part of his strategy to reduce Canada's economic dependence on the United States, aiming to double non-US exports within a decade.

When satellites burn up upon re-entering Earth's atmosphere, they release particles and gases, including metals like aluminium, which may affect atmospheric chemistry. This process, known as atmospheric ablation, is still poorly understood, but early evidence suggests metal content in the atmosphere is rising. To address these uncertainties, the UK Space Agency commissioned three targeted studies to investigate the potential impacts of satellite re-entry. We spoke to Professor Minkawn Kim from the University of Southampton about his findings.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers Trump's new work requirements for welfare recipients, job losses from the AI revolution, major trade developments with China, new drone defenses for the Pacific, and the growing risks of a satellite disaster in orbit. Work for Welfare Begins: Starting tomorrow, able-bodied adults ages 18 to 65 without dependents must work at least 80 hours a month to receive food aid under Trump's "Triple B Bill." Exemptions include parents of young children and residents in areas with high unemployment. Bryan warns that states managing these programs may soon raise local taxes to offset new administrative costs. AI Cuts Human Jobs: Amazon and other major tech firms are laying off software engineers as AI begins writing code and automating support work. Bryan calls it "a quiet industrial revolution that's going to reshape America's middle class for decades." Trump and Xi Trade Gains and Tensions: China agreed to buy 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans this season, with promises to expand purchases later if relations hold steady. But Xi refused to curb Russian oil imports, signaling Beijing's intent to prolong the war in Ukraine. New U.S. Drone System — The X-BAT: A cutting-edge drone platform called the X-BAT can launch vertically, operate without runways, and land itself like a reusable rocket. Bryan calls it "a game-changer for a future war in the Pacific." A Coming Satellite Crisis: With 100,000 satellites expected in orbit by 2030, experts warn of potential collisions and cascading debris — the "Kessler Syndrome." Bryan explains how one accident could take down global communications and cripple modern life. Venezuela Airstrikes Under Review: Trump is considering airstrikes against Venezuelan drug ports and airfields tied to the Cartel de los Soles. Analysts believe the move could topple Nicolás Maduro and restore democracy under opposition leader María Corina Machado. Europe's Migration Backlash: Germany and Sweden face outrage over migrant crime after courts refused to deport rapists from Eritrea. Bryan highlights how "suicidal empathy" — compassion that undermines security — is destabilizing Western nations. Ukraine's Strain and Russia's Weakness: Russia cut interest rates to ease its stagnant economy while Ukraine faces mass draft dodging as 100,000 young men flee to Europe. Trump responded by reducing U.S. troop levels in Romania to refocus on the Pacific and Latin America. Crisis in Mali: Al Qaeda rebels have surrounded Mali's capital as the U.S. orders citizens to evacuate. Bryan warns that Ukraine's secret aid to jihadist groups could backfire and lead to a new Taliban-style regime in West Africa. Listener Mail — The Morality of Espionage: Bryan answers questions about ethics inside the CIA, sharing personal reflections on moral judgment, mentorship, and the gray zones of intelligence work. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump welfare work requirements Triple B Bill, Amazon AI job cuts software layoffs, Trump Xi China soybean trade, X-BAT drone vertical launch defense, Kessler Syndrome satellite collision risk, Venezuela airstrike Cartel de los Soles, Germany Sweden migrant crime backlash, Russia Ukraine draft exodus Romania troops, Mali AQ ISIS rebellion evacuation, CIA morality ethics Bryan Dean Wright

Space has a power problem. Satellites need more electricity and better protection, yet solar arrays are slow to build and failure-prone, and shielding adds mass and complexity. Atomic-6 is tackling both sides at once.Our guest this week is Trevor Smith, founder and CEO of Atomic-6. His team is building Light Wing, a redeployable, mass-manufacturable solar array aimed at higher watts per kilogram and faster delivery, and Space Armor, an RF-permeable debris shield designed to stop hypervelocity impacts while preserving comms and resisting directed energy. The company's first on-orbit hardware is slated for February 2026, and they're pursuing multi-billion-dollar constellation opportunities alongside a long-term purchase agreement with a private space-station builder.Inside the episode:Why reliability, not just power density, wins satellite programsHow a space power gigafactory could reset constellation economicsWhat “cell-agnostic” really means for supply chain and performanceThe new “radome for space” capability and where it matters for defenseCislunar prospects, lunar-orbit data centers, and vertical solar towersLessons from working with Space Force and navigating dual-use fundingThe state of the U.S. industrial base and why solar arrays are a top supply-chain priority • Chapters •00:00 – Intro00:47 – How Atomic-6 got started03:06 – Building the power grid for space04:09 – Why is Atomic-6 building what it's building05:58 – Dollars per watt per kilo07:18 – Cell agnostic07:58 – How Trevor got into the space industry09:14 – Team construction at Atomic-609:49 – What type of people is Atomic-6 looking for?10:35 – Atomic-6's key product offering10:58 – Current customers and opportunities at Atomic-611:38 – Pipeline13:07 – Manufacturing scaling14:04 – How much is an operator spending on solar arrays?15:12 – Who would we go to today for building a satellite array and what would they be missing?16:33 – Space Armor19:44 – What is a radome?20:34 – Whipple Shield deployment21:11 – Significance of being transparent to radio signals21:41 – Terrestrial applications for the Whipple Shield23:24 – How Atomic-6 came to developing the Whipple Shield24:48 – Opportunity vs Light Wing and Space Armor25:38 – Defense traction with Space Armor26:52 – Atomic-6's business model29:17 – Milestones30:35 – Vertical integration32:34 – Other products that Atomic-6 is developing33:42 – Developments in advanced materials that will define architecture in space36:18 – What does success look like for Atomic-6 in 5 to 10 years?36:59 – What keeps Trevor up at night?38:05 – Government support40:17 – The legacy Trevor wants Atomic-6 to leave behind • Show notes •Atomic-6's website — https://www.atomic-6.com/Mo's socials — https://twitter.com/itsmoislamPayload's socials — https://twitter.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspaceIgnition's socials — https://twitter.com/ignitionnuclear /  https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/Tectonic's socials  — https://twitter.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/ • About us •Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.

Finding a meteorite that has traveled billions of miles through space to reach it's present location is exciting. It might even be worth real money.

Want a Halloween scare that sticks with you after the candy's gone? We're pouring a glass and pulling back the curtain on the creepiest corners of everyday tech: a cloud outage that toppled major apps and smart beds, a Prime refund saga with fine-print timelines, and Amazon's bold plan to swap 600,000 human jobs for robots by 2033. The number that matters isn't the 30 cents shaved off a product; it's the blast radius when a single point of failure hits everything from payments to sleep pods.We go deeper with cybersecurity expert Nick Espinosa to map the new threat surface. He breaks down a jaw-dropping study showing unencrypted geostationary satellite traffic—airline passenger data, critical infrastructure chatter, even U.S. and Mexican military communications—floating for the taking. Then we connect the surveillance dots: Ring's partnership with Flock could feed millions of doorbells into a searchable police network. With Ring's track record, do you want your front porch in a national database accessible by natural-language prompts?The uncanny valley gets crowded too. A widower claims an AI replica of Suzanne Somers “feels indistinguishable,” while OpenAI prepares to allow “mature” content for verified adults. We weigh the supposed benefits against the hard psychology: isolation, distorted attachment, and empathy atrophy. For a lighter fright, we test the viral claim that Teslas see “ghosts” in cemeteries—spoiler: that's what a cautious perception model looks like when tombstones confuse it. The real nightmare? Attackers hiding malware inside blockchain smart contracts, using decentralization to dodge takedowns and $2 fees to keep it cheap.From airline IT meltdowns to smart contract exploits, the pattern is clear: concentration of power and data magnifies risk. Redundancy, privacy-by-design, and failure-aware engineering aren't nice-to-haves—they're the only way through.

Co-hosts Patrick Halley, WIA President and CEO, and Leslie Stimson, Inside Towers Washington Bureau Chief, discussed the evolution of satellite-to-phone, direct-to-device (D2D) technology with Tim Farrar, founder of TMF Associates. Tim founded his consultancy in 2002 to undertake technical, market and financial consulting across the satellite and telecom sectors.In this discussion, Farrar explains how D2D technology allows standard smartphones to access satellite networks, and highlights the limitations of the technology. The conversation also covers the recent announcement of Lynk Global to merge with Omnispace and the challenges of seamless switching between terrestrial and satellite networks.Support the show

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Richard Easton, co-author of GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones, about the remarkable history behind the Global Positioning System and its ripple effects on technology, secrecy, and innovation. They trace the story from Roger Easton's early work on time navigation and atomic clocks to the 1973 approval of the GPS program, the Cold War's influence on satellite development, and how civilian and military interests shaped its evolution. The conversation also explores selective availability, the Gulf War, and how GPS paved the way for modern mapping tools like Google Maps and Waze, as well as broader questions about information, transparency, and the future of scientific innovation.

Richard Easton explains that the Navy and Air Force each had different ideas for navigation satellites in the 1960s. The Navy wanted mid-Earth orbits with autonomous atomic clocks, while the Air Force preferred ground-controlled repeaters in geostationary orbit. The eventual compromise in 1973 created the modern GPS structure—24 satellites in six constellations—which balanced accuracy, independence, and resilience.Atomic clocks made global navigation possible. Roger Easton's early insight was that improving atomic clock precision would one day enable real-time positioning. The hydrogen maser, developed in 1960, became the breakthrough technology that made GPS feasible. This innovation turned a theoretical idea into a working global system and also advanced timekeeping for scientific and financial applications.Civilian access to GPS was always intended. Contrary to popular belief, GPS wasn't a military secret turned public after the Korean airliner tragedy in 1983. Civilian receivers, such as TI's 4100 model, were already available in 1981. Reagan's 1983 announcement merely reaffirmed an existing policy that GPS would serve both military and civilian users.The Gulf War proved GPS's strategic value. During the 1991 conflict, U.S. and coalition forces used mostly civilian receivers after the Pentagon lifted “selective availability,” which intentionally degraded accuracy. GPS allowed troops to coordinate movement and strikes even during sandstorms, changing modern warfare.Secrecy and innovation were deeply intertwined. Easton recounts how classified projects like GRAB and POPPY—satellites disguised as scientific missions—laid technical groundwork for navigation systems. The crossover between secret defense projects and public science fueled breakthroughs but also obscured credit and understanding.Ending selective availability unleashed global applications. When the distortion feature was turned off in May 2000, GPS accuracy improved instantly, leading to new industries—geocaching, precision agriculture, logistics, and smartphone navigation. This marked GPS's shift from a defense tool to an everyday utility.Innovation's future may rely on decentralization. Reflecting on his father's era and today's landscape, Easton argues that bureaucratic “big science” has grown sluggish. He sees promise in smaller, independent innovators—helped by AI, cheaper satellites, and private space ventures like SpaceX—continuing the cycle of technological transformation that GPS began.

For decades, conspiracy theorists have claimed that a mysterious object orbits Earth—a possible alien satellite known as the Black Knight. Radar signals, strange recordings, and alleged NASA photos have fueled speculation of extraterrestrial surveillance. Is it space junk, a misidentified object, or something far stranger? In this episode, we explore the legend of the Black Knight Satellite.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the nearing end of the government shutdown, Trump's legal win allowing National Guard deployments to Portland, a Supreme Court case testing whether drug users can own guns, and international developments involving Chinese espionage, satellite security, auto industry sabotage, and Bolivia's rejection of socialism.   Shutdown Nears Its End: White House advisor Kevin Hassett says the government shutdown will likely end this week as Democrats feel pressure from bad polling and looming state budget crises. Trump's Triple B funding bill cut Medicaid loopholes that helped finance health care for illegal immigrants, forcing blue states to raise taxes unless a deal is reached.   Court Clears Trump to Deploy the Guard: The Ninth Circuit ruled that Trump can federalize Oregon's National Guard to protect Portland's federal buildings from Antifa violence. Democrats argued the protests were “mostly peaceful,” with one judge claiming the frog-costumed rioters were “having fun.” Bryan calls the decision a reality check against political theater.   Immigration and America's Workforce: NPR reports activists in Chicago are blocking ICE operations while a new study projects Trump's deportation policies could reduce the U.S. population by 15 million over the next decade. Bryan argues higher wages and affordable housing will follow, saying, “We don't need to import our workforce — we can build our own.”   Supreme Court Weighs Gun Rights for Drug Users: The Court will decide whether people who use marijuana or other drugs can legally own firearms. The case follows a lower court ruling that found “no historical justification” for disarming sober citizens. Bryan invites listeners to weigh in on whether gun ownership and substance use should mix.   China's Atomic Clock Breach: Beijing accused the NSA of hacking its national atomic clock, which could disrupt GPS, banking, and military systems. The alleged cyber breach used the cell phones of Chinese scientists to access secure servers. Bryan calls it “proof that nothing online is truly offline.”   Satellites Leaking Secrets: U.S. researchers found that half of global satellite transmissions can be intercepted with basic equipment, exposing phone calls, texts, and even military data. Bryan warns listeners to “keep sensitive conversations offline.”   Dutch Seize Chinese-Owned Chipmaker: The Netherlands took control of Nexperia, a critical auto-chip supplier, after U.S. intelligence warned China planned to move production back home. The move could disrupt global car manufacturing and tighten supply chains further.   Bolivia Rejects Socialism: Voters ousted socialist leaders and elected conservative Rodrigo Paz, who vowed to restore ties with the U.S. and rebuild Bolivia's lithium-rich economy. Bryan says, “Bolivia's victory over socialism should be a warning to voters in New York City.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: government shutdown Kevin Hassett, Trump Triple B Medicaid reform, Ninth Circuit National Guard Portland, Antifa Oregon violence, NPR ICE protests Chicago, deportation workforce study, Supreme Court drug users gun rights, NSA China atomic clock hack, satellites data leak UC San Diego, Netherlands Nexperia chip takeover, Bolivia Rodrigo Paz conservative election
