I’m only 20 minutes in, but I already find myself wishing that, instead of space, Ariel was focused on engineering solutions to meet the challenges of climate change. Obviously that doesn’t align with her obvious passion for new horizons, but I find myself doubting, as amazing as her work sounds, that her work can help to rescue humanity from the more near-term threats posed by climate change; for instance, the very real possibility of a near-term catastrophic event such as losing the Gulf Stream.<br><br>Maybe I’ll change my mind by the end though :)
