A comet from deep space may thread the edge of Jupiter’s gravitational reach while Silicon Valley pours billions into a first-of-its-kind fusion plant. That’s not just good sci‑fi—those are the headlines shaping how power, money, and curiosity collide right now.
We start with 3I Atlas, an interstellar comet modeled to pass startlingly close to Jupiter’s Hill sphere in March 2026. Researchers ran hundreds of orbital clones and flagged non-gravitational forces that might have nudged its path into a razor-thin corridor. Whether the culprit is outgassing or a modeling quirk, the odds look wild enough to ask harder questions.
Then we turn to fusion, where Helion has broken ground in central Washington with plans to deliver electricity to Microsoft by 2028. It’s the clean energy moonshot that data centers crave as AI workloads explode, and it’s arriving with big names, big valuations, and bigger expectations. We unpack how purchase agreements sprint ahead of demonstrations, why some labs still haven’t shown sustained net energy gain in a grid-relevant way, and how governance, permitting, and insider networks shape who gets access to the future. If fusion fulfills even part of its promise—low-cost, reliable, carbon-free baseload—it will remake the energy map. If it falters, communities and ratepayers deserve clarity on the risks they were asked to shoulder.
Along the way, we talk trust: What would real transparency look like for fusion milestones? We close with a grounded human story—a teen found alive by a trained bloodhound after days in a ravine—to remind us that technology is ultimately about outcomes that matter to people.
If this mix of cosmic oddities and energy realities hits your sweet spot, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review. Your feedback helps us push for clarity, cut through hype, and keep the curiosity burning.
