1. A landscape with reddish terrain and scattered rocks. Jagged and rounded boulders dot the dusty ground, leading to distant slopes under a clear, warm-hued sky.

  @wonderofscience Looks like a dull place to visit, sure wouldn't want to live there. I''ll stick to Spaceship Earth. https://archive.org/details/buckminster-fuller-operating-manual-for-spaceship-earth

  1. Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth
    
    Initially published in 1969, and one of Fuller’s most popular works, Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth is a brilliant synthesis of his world view. In this very accessible volume, Fuller investigates the great challenges facing humanity, and the principles for avoiding extinction and “exercising our option to make it.” How will humanity survive? How does automation influence individualization? How can we utilize our resources more effectively to realize our potential to end poverty in this generation? He questions the concept of specialization, calls for a design revolution of innovation, and offers advice on how to guide “spaceship earth” toward a sustainable future.And it Came to Pass – Not to Stay brings together Buckminster Fuller’s lyrical and philosophical best, including seven “essays“ in a form he called his “ventilated prose”, and as always addressing the current global crisis and his predictions for the future. These essays, including “How Little I Know”, “What I am Trying to Do”, “Soft Revolution”, and “Ethics”, put the task of ushering in a new era of humanity in the context of “always starting with the universe.“ In rare form, Fuller elegantly weaves the personal, the playful, the simple, and the profound.

  This panoramic mosaic of the Jezero Crater hills was captured on Sol 353 of Perseverance's mission, created from 26 images from Mastcam-Z's left camera, with colors adjusted to show Mars as it would appear to the human eye.
