Eiffel \n\n

LPT: you can get pommes frites in Europe. Could Eiffel have been an agent? The history of the Eiffel tower. The Eiffel Tower\u2019s science history. Cosmic rays. Wireless telepraphy (radio). Outliving its intended lifespan.

\n\n Aliens \n\n

Which government agency should you be applying to in order to research alien stuff? Remembering the MiB is an NGO.

\n\n Space tracking \n\n

Increasing ability to track nearby space objects. Tracking objects in our solar system\u2019s plane. The difficulty of tracking interstellar objects. Being a good space neighbor. Confirmed tracked interstellar objects. Failing to pronounce \u201c\u02bbOumuamua.\u201d

\n\n A Danzig tale \n\n

justin: dude

\n\n

Danzig lives next door to me in l.a.

\n\n

down the street

\n\n

and he is the worst neighbor ever

\n\n

justin: so he has this huge pile of bricks in his front yard

\n\n

and the house looks like an evil pixar house

\n\n

so anyway, his neighbor was like, \u201cdude, danzig your bringing property values down with these bricks in your yard.\u201d

\n\n

and danzig was pissed

\n\n

so anyway, back and forth with his neighbor and danzig

\n\n

and finally one day

\n\n

i see danzig outside

\n\n

in his front yard

\n\n

and he\u2019s hurling bricks into this drumpster and he\u2019s screaming, \u201cHERE I AM MOTHERFUCKER, JUST CLEANING UP MY FUCKING BRICKS BITCH!\u201d

\n\n

Just super loud

\n\n

to no one in particular

\n\n

for two hours

\n\n

it was amazing

\n\n

like, i couldn\u2019t even think about other things

\n\n

because it was so amazing

\n\n

me: oh my god

\n\n

this is amazing

\n\n

justin: dude

\n\n

it blew my mind

\n\n

because it was danzig as just a really poor homeowner

\n\n Space security \n\n

Hacking satellites! Actually totally possible and has happened. Air Force satellites at DEFCON. DDoS in space. The possibilities for catastrophy in hacking things in space. The many ways an attacker could damage or destroy our space telescopes.

\n\n Stars! \n\n

Blue giants! They\u2019re rather large, and luminous. And hot. Capturing star energy. Kardashev scales.

\n\n Memory \n\n

The tendency of our minds to backfill missing information. Using neuralizers without providing a cover story is probably actually good enough, really.
