The sub-editor in me in livid about the capital letters in ridiculous places, the alien/free energy disclosure enthusiast in me is super psyched about the fucking spaceship!
It's not just the spaceship, though, he's also announced the launch of the To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science, an organisation made up of scientists, aerospace engineers and other creatives who are going to enable researchers to explore the "outer edges of science" and technologies. TTS is to be made up of three parts: science, aerospace and entertainment, and it appears that most of the team members already on board have worked at high levels within government intelligence and scientific fields.
As you probably know, Tom has been into this sort of thing for a long time. After leaving blink in 2015, he took an extra-deep dive into the subject: he released his book Sekret Machines: Gods earlier this year, and is working on a movie about the subject called Strange Times. But To The Stars is bigger than just media: "This project is aimed at creating a beacon and a vehicle to be able to interact directly with Millennials across the world," DeLonge told Rolling Stone a few months back. "Some of this stuff is empowering, and some of this stuff is frankly kind of scary. But you need to understand it, and you're going to need to deal with it when we're gone."
In a statement, Dr. Hal Puthoff, the company's co-founder and VP of science and technology, said: "Imagine having 25th-century science this century.” Dr Puthoff is an advisor to NASA, the Department of Defense and has worked as a researcher for organisations like General Electric, the NSA and Stanford University. He continues: "We've mobilized a team of experienced, connected and passionately curious minds to reveal and decode information that can challenge the limits of traditional theory, such as the study of UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon) technologies. Together, we're bringing transformative science and engineering out of the shadows to introduce profound possibilities."
Here's Tom at the press conference yesterday:
