Talking to the Submarine Video
New Video! https://youtu.be/PCdsPim3FeY
Bellavia is a shallow diving artificial intelligence submarine. Bella a test bed for Life support, systems integration and the AI – human interface. I run through a few commands so you can get the feel of what’s it’s like to interact with her. The submarine uses windows voice macros, Arduinos, C#, deep learning and old style expert system in its architecture. It seems an odd fit however the submarine is a key development tool and test bed for our Airship to Orbit program. She already shares code and systems with our high altitude airships. -

No Wings for Wally?
I don’t do opinion pieces. However, something has got to me & I’m making an exception. The FAA has changed it’s rules about who gets to be called an astronaut on the same day that Wally Funk flew to space denying them all wings. This is petty.Video: https://youtu.be/Jx5dIA8LEqE

Working the list. Yesterday the team worked on the Away 131 platform, an airship and the submarine (and some shop cleaning). Tackling giant projects: create the do to lists, break it up in to chunks, write it on the white board, cross it out, repeat.
