What if death could be treated as a pause?

In this episode of Moonshot Radio, I speak with Emil Kendziorra, founder of tomorrow.bio, about cryopreservation (cryonics) as a real-world bridging technology — preserving people after legal death in the hope that future medicine can cure the underlying disease, reverse aging, and one day revive them.

We unpack biostasis vs cryopreservation, why revival isn’t possible yet, the ethics of access and inequality, how time scarcity shapes meaning, what memory and identity might look like after revival, and how Tomorrow Bio actually operates end-to-end (subscriptions, life insurance, medical response, long-term storage).

What if cities weren’t built around roads but around airspace?In this episode of Moonshot Radio, host @du_mplings sits down with Leo Kayali, founder of Invo Station, to explore a radical vision for the future of transportation: fully autonomous, electric flying vehicles designed to scale like cars.A former Tesla engineer, Leo shares how personal loss during COVID reshaped his sense of urgency and why he believes rethinking movement is one of the fastest ways to reduce emissions, reclaim time, and redesign urban life.In this conversation, we explore:✈️ Why most “flying car” concepts fail at scaleThe safety, cost, and infrastructure challenges holding the industry back and why simply scaling up drones doesn’t work.🛸 A UFO-inspired design for urban flightHow enclosing propellers inside the vehicle body radically improves safety, redundancy, and noise, and enables street-level takeoff and landing.🤖 Autonomy first, not as an afterthoughtWhy Invo Station is building AI-driven air highways that mirror existing road networks, instead of point-to-point chaos in the sky.🗺️ Air traffic like Google MapsHow Leo’s team is designing vertical and horizontal “lanes” in the air to regulate traffic at city-scale.⚖️ Regulation is finally catching upWhat recent FAA rule changes and White House executive orders mean for eVTOLs, autonomous flight, and commercial deployment.(Featuring insights on the Federal Aviation Administration certification process.)💰 From $10M aircraft to $60K flying vehiclesHow Invo Station plans to bring costs down through manufacturing design, mass production, and software-driven business models.🏙️ Who are the first customers?From individual owners to ride-sharing, family vehicles, emergency response, and cities themselves.🧠 AI beyond driving: fundraising, ops & leadershipHow Leo is using AI agents for fundraising, sales, marketing, and simulation—and why he believes most white-collar work will be automated.🔋 What comes next: solid-state batteries & Blackwell GPUsWhy breakthroughs in energy storage and compute change what’s possible right now, not in 50 years.🌍 Optimism without denialWhy Leo believes technological progress, when paired with ethics and systems thinking, can still bend the future in a better direction.This episode isn’t just about flying cars—it’s about how infrastructure shapes civilization, and what happens when we design mobility for people, not congestion.⸻🔔 Subscribe to Moonshot Radio for conversations with the founders, scientists, and builders reprogramming our future.⸻References & Links (from the episode) • Invo Station • Joby Aviation • NVIDIA Blackwell GPU platform • Waymo autonomous vehicles • FAA powered-lift / eVTOL rulemaking (SFAR No. 120) • Isaac Asimov — Three Laws of Robotics

Who gets to control the Earth’s thermostat?

In this episode of Moonshot Radio, host Linda Du speaks with Luke Iseman, founder of Make Sunsets, a startup experimenting with solar geoengineering by releasing reflective particles into the stratosphere to cool the planet.

Luke’s work has ignited global debate about ethics, governance, risk, and radical action in the face of climate collapse. This conversation goes deep into the science, philosophy, and urgency behind a technology many consider taboo.

Themes:

• Solar geoengineering explained

  How releasing sulfur dioxide (SO₂) into the stratosphere mimics volcanic eruptions to reflect sunlight and reduce global temperatures.

• From science fiction to startup reality

  How Termination Shock inspired Luke to investigate geoengineering—and why scientific consensus existed long before public action.

• Why entrepreneurs act when institutions stall

  The tension between academic caution, government inaction, and founder-led experimentation in an accelerating climate crisis.

• Cloud seeding vs. stratospheric aerosols

  The difference between traditional cloud seeding (using silver iodide) and high-altitude aerosol reflection, and why Make Sunsets chose the latter.

• Regulation (or lack thereof) in the stratosphere

  Why international airspace law remains unresolved above ~20km, and what Luke learned from engineers who worked on Project Loon.

• Cooling credits & climate economics

  How Make Sunsets sells “cooling credits” directly to individuals, why governments and corporations have been slow to engage, and what this reveals about carbon markets.

• Carbon markets, fraud & moral hazard

  A critical look at voluntary carbon credits, including findings that large portions may be ineffective or fraudulent.

• Public backlash & political controversy

  From scrutiny by the Environmental Protection Agency to reactions from climate activists and regulators.

• Is geoengineering playing God?

  Why Luke argues that everything we already do, from flying planes to burning fossil fuels, is geoengineering, just in the wrong direction.

• Scaling planetary infrastructure

  What it would take to meaningfully cool the planet, from balloon launches to military-grade deployment by G20 nations.

• Other frontier climate ideas

  Including space-based sunshades like those proposed by the Planetary Sunshade Foundation, nuclear power revival, and climate-aligned AI infrastructure.

• Activism, blockchain & coordination at scale

  Reflections on movements like Extinction Rebellion, DAOs, crypto-enabled coordination, and what GameStop-style collective action could mean for climate.

• Work, automation & post-scarcity futures

  Drawing on ideas from David Graeber, including critiques of “bullshit jobs” and what people might build if survival wasn’t the constraint.

• Immigration, innovation & global growth

  Why openness to migration, experimentation, and building may matter more than any single technology.

This episode doesn’t offer easy answers, but it confronts the uncomfortable reality that not acting may be the most dangerous choice of all.
