didn't already know that if you knew what they were doing privately with their phone, you could pretty much tell who's crazy and who's not, and probably even specifically what's wrong? Well, they don't know that for sure, but they're planning a big study to find out. But they don't need it. They can just ask Scott. Scott, would we be able to determine the mental health of a person by their phone usage? Yes. Big yes. Yes, you can.

Well, according to Interesting Engineering, Chris Young writes that there are several firms trying to make it cheaper to launch rockets into space. One of them is a centrifuge, a massive centrifuge. So it would spin the rocket, and when the speed is really high, it would release it. So it basically just tosses it in the air. And then once the hard part of the liftoff is over, because the closer you are to Earth, the more fuel you need, then some fuel would kick in after it reached a certain height.

So that's in the works. Startup. And there's a company that's looking to use a space cannon to blast payloads into low orbit so that they don't need as much fuel. But now there's a new one called Origa Space, and they're trying to develop a maglev track so they can shoot a space module into space with much less fuel, and they've been funded.

So I don't know if Elon Musk is ever going to use any of these. I feel like none of them would work if you had a human on board because you would have to accelerate it so fast that it would probably kill all people. But maybe if you're launching a space weapon or some kind of intercontinental ballistic weapon, it might be very useful. So we'll see.

Meanwhile, the CEO of NPR, she went back on CNN because, as you know, the federal funding for NPR was voted away. And on CNN, Senator John Kennedy is commenting on a clip of her on CNN in which she claims that NPR is, quote, "a nonpartisan organization." The funding was cut because they're a partisan organization, but she says, "No, we're nonpartisan. Always have been."

So Senat
