Elon Musk, Robert A. Heinlein and the urgent call to colonize space
On April 28, Elon Musk asked his artificial intelligence Grok to define itself. As usual, the Tesla CEO's messaging was cryptic. His posts on X (formerly Twitter), and even the names of his children, often feel like riddles, decipherable only to those in the know. But for newcomers, this moment of self-definition offered a rare clue: The name Grok was an homage to science fiction novelist Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988). Heinlein, along with Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) and Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008), is regarded as one of the "Big Three" of the Golden Age of American science fiction, which spanned from the late 1930s to the 1960s. In his 1961 bestseller Stranger in a Strange Land, a Martian uses the word "grok" to describe his way of understanding Earth. Musk echoed the spirit of the novel in a February 2025 post on X, writing: "The word 'grok' means to fully and profoundly understand something." Heinlein was trained as both an engineer and a military officer. A key figure in hard science fiction – a genre rooted in scientific and technological rigor – he also had a strong interest in psychology. In a 1947 lecture, he regretted that "too many so-called science fiction stories forget about human beings and their problems." Stranger in a Strange Land follows a human born on Mars and raised in Martian culture as he struggles to adapt to life on Earth. Gérard Klein, a leading French science fiction editor, described the novel as a philosophical tale in the tradition of Montesquieu's Lettres persanes (Persian Letters, 1721). Confronted with political intrigue and human greed, the protagonist, Valentine Michael Smith, is baffled by the Earthlings' obsession with power and property.

Vonn appoints Svindal as coach ahead of 2026 Olympics
The former Olympic and serial world champion stunned the sports world when she returned to the US ski team last year aged 40, five years after retirement. She has her sights set on adding to the downhill gold she won at the 2010 Vancouver Games at Milan/Cortina next year with her close friend Svindal now on her coaching team. "Bringing Aksel onto my team for this season feels like a natural and incredibly exciting step," Vonn said on Wednesday. "We've shared so much history on the mountain, from training to winning World Cup titles, and there's a deep level of trust and respect that's developed over the years. "To have him officially on my team as we push for the Cortina Games is a huge boost." Svindal, a two-time former overall World Cup champion and double Olympic gold medallist, and Vonn will begin preparations for Milan-Cortina with a training camp in Chile "later this summer". Vonn, who has 82 World Cup wins to her name, was forced into retirement following a serious knee injury. But after undergoing a titanium reconstruction of her knee, she returned to competition last season, picking up the first podium of her return at Sun Valley in March.

Francis Ford Coppola gives update amid reports of hospitalisation
ADVERTISEMENT Following reports that Francis Ford Coppola had been admitted on Tuesday to the Policlinico Tor Vergata, a public hospital in Rome, the acclaimed American director has released an update on his health. The director of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now and his representative have released a statement revealing that Coppola underwent a non-emergency cardiac procedure in the Italian capital. 'Mr. Coppola went in for a scheduled update procedure' - performed by renowned Italian-born cardiologist Dr. Andrea Natale - and is 'resting nicely.' 'There was not an emergency. He went to the hospital in a car. He had a scheduled appointment.' Coppola, 86, has been a patient of Natale for more than 30 years, the representative added. 'All is well.' Coppola also posted a photograph of himself on Instagram, saying: 'Da Dada (what my kids call me) is fine, taking an opportunity while in Rome to do the update of my 30-year-old afib procedure with its inventor, a great Italian doctor — Dr. Andrea Natale,' it said. The term 'a-fib' is short for atrial fibrillation, a type of abnormal heart rhythm. Coppola was in Italy to promote his latest (and extremely polarising) movie Megalopolis , a $120 million self-funded production which premiered in Cannes last year. It had a special screening at the Magna Graecia Film Festival in Catanzaro. In our (less than glowing) review of Megalopolis , we said: 'It's all a mad jumble of heteroclitic strands that defy basic storytelling and dramatic coherence. Think Cloud Atlas by way of Southland Tales . And even that sounds better than Megalopolis actually is. (...) While this futurist fantasy sounds so insane it could border on genius, don't delude yourselves into thinking that Megalopolis is one of those ahead-of-its-time / bless-this-mess future classics made by a filmmaker with nothing left to lose. Just because the veteran director behind such classics as The Godfather , Apocalypse Now and The Conversation decides to deliver his go-for-broke magnum opus, doesn't make it any less of an indulgent folly that borders on nonsensical.' Still, we're glad he's well.
