On Wednesday one of these will crash into the Moon.
It's a @SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage rocket & tank, used to propel lunar landers last year. It will hit near Einstein Crater at 5400 mph/8700 kph, blasting a crater 90ft/27m across, 16ft/5m deep.
Total, the Moon has been hit by 800+ human-made objects, but that's dwarfed by the natural impacts: tens of thousands of similar new meteor craters every year.
The Moon has no life or ecosystem to disrupt, but as we start landing more, we need to better track what we're doing: @openlunar has the world-leading Lunar Ledger (lunarledger.space/), doing just that.

How do AI agents hold assets? How do translocal communities achieve legal standing?
This weeks article is brand brand new, and introduces the concept of Meta Juristictions.
It shows us how it might be possible to build legally coherent virtual spaces by composing existing legal tools across multiple territories.
The authors take us from charter cities to Network Nations to AI governance frameworks.

> Sounds a lil bit anti-islam but hey
Fuck statements like this.
Similarly, fuck claiming that standing up for Gazans', West Bankers, Lebanese, Syrian people's right to live in peace and not get encroaching settlements, constant drone strikes and bombs is antisemitic.
And fuck claiming that standing up for Ukrainian people's right to live in peace and not be invaded is Russophobic.
And fuck not even noticing the needless and extreme manmade suffering in Sudan, Myanmar, North Korea and elsewhere.
And fuck the possibility that in the future statements like this will have to include a line for Greenland.
We stand for human dignity. That is the bottom line. You can disagree on details of individual situations and what specific actions hurt or help, but the bottom line in resolving such issues must be a common agreement that the underlying goal is to protect the dignity of all people. This is more important than political teams.
There are also people who are on the same political team as you, but whose words and actions clearly demonstrate that they are not interested in human dignity - genuine *phobes who use appeals to freedom and life opportunistically. This must also be opposed. Again, the north star is human dignity. To be ultimately more interested not in pushing the people you oppose down, but in lifting the people you feel sympathy for up. If you observe the long-term pattern of how someone acts, you can tell.

Do you want to go to Bhutan? 🇧🇹
They’re looking for skilled professionals to train volunteers in everything from AI to woodworking. Flights, housing, and a stipend are covered.
Sharing on behalf of the head of the program—pass it along if you know someone who’d be a good fit.

Early outcomes from last month at #zuzalu "Coordi-nations: A New Institutional Structure for Global Cooperation", w/ @jessykate @yaoeo @Sara_Horowitz @mbauwens @TBSocialist @silkenoa @louviq @MannanMorshed & many others.

Some context for the work a group of us have been doing on "coordi-nations"— a particular configuration of social structures we believe are emergent from network sovereignties.
🚨THE RISE OF COORDI-NATIONS
We spent about two weeks at Zuzalu with a team of people from @BlockchainGov and elsewhere to concretely define our network state alternative of Coordi-Nations and folks, we were successful.

More great work by @Sammymercury and Rachel from @openlunar discussing the arguments and motivations for a voluntary lunar registry. Given all the lessons learned regarding cooperation in Earth orbit, let's not start at a deficit for the Moon! slate.com/technology/2023/05… via @slate
This essay was co-authored with ChatGPT using custom embeddings trained on notes from our coordi-nations workshop at #zuzalu. We iterated and expanded on multiple prompts, then heavily edited the text. We also collaborated with ChatGPT to construct the Midjourney image prompts.
Congrats to @jessykate and @yaoeo for winning the "Network State Alternative Essay" prize! Their essay can be found here: gist.github.com/jessykate/1e…

Honoured to have @CentralComment publish my and Rachel William's piece talking about #geopolitical #competition's spillover into the #lunar environment and how #trust and #transparency-building mechanisms, are needed to reduce this. #spacepolicy #SpaceExploration #politicalrisk
"Without trust-building mechanisms to foster cooperation, the Moon will become another extension of geopolitical competition"
Sam Jardine (@Sammymercury) and Rachel Williams on the increasing competition of lunar exploration.

A platform for transparency around lunar activities – even if only including basic information – would be a net benefit for all and help alleviate tensions and risk in an already inhospitable environment.

We’ve received another incredible photo from the camera onboard our Mission 1 lander!
Seen here is the lunar Earthrise during solar eclipse, captured by the lander-mounted camera at an altitude of about 100 km from the lunar surface. (1/2)
