  • Unsurprising to me this is happening in schools, they’ve got to be ready for the low wage retail jobs many will have after graduation. A lot of places have been upgrading their phones to Zoom-enabled devices, which have the ability to record and summarize all employee conversations held near them for management or HR. I’ve worked in a couple places recently where it got rolled out and there were hints they were using it that way.

    Anyone willing to call me paranoid, or supportive of the idea this tech is used this way or will be, please respond, retail isn’t really full of many tech savvy people and I’m curious if I’m imagining the capability/use of this, or if others have had similar experiences.


  • This would be a flyby, rather than orbiting, as that would take a lot more propellant. I’d assume they might use gravitational assist from Jupiter, but a more or less direct shot might be planned, not sure. 3I Atlas would be closest to Jupiter in early September, yes, coincidentally the same time Juno was expected to be deorbited. As far as achieving the velocity needed, there are some calculations yet to be done but apparently there could be enough propellant onboard to do it.

    I heard about the intercept idea through The Angry Astronaut’s youtube but there was a Congresswoman and some professors pushing it too.
