The Lifeboat Foundation is a nonprofit nongovernmental organization dedicated to encouraging scientific advancements while helping humanity survive existential risks and possible misuse of increasingly powerful technologies, including genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and robotics/AI, as we move towards the Singularity.

Lifeboat Foundation is pursuing a variety of options, including helping to accelerate the development of technologies to defend humanity, including new methods to combat viruses (such as RNA interference and new vaccine methods), effective nanotechnological defensive strategies, and even self-sustaining space colonies in case the other defensive strategies fail.

We believe that, in some situations, it might be feasible to relinquish technological capacity in the public interest (for example, we are against the U.S. government posting the recipe for the 1918 flu virus on the internet). We have some of the best minds on the planet working on programs to enable our survival. We invite you to join our cause!

There are major meteor showers tonight if the skys remain claer. At the moment they are hard to see because of the moon but if it's clear later there will be quite a show. Over 100 slow moving meteors per hour, some of them fireballs.

Poor auld ISON, it's a bit of a mess now alright but we'll still have the debris trail to go through in January. It's going out over us soon but it's some 40 million miles above us, so doubtful there will be any view. The 'end of the world' gang got it wrong again. But no doubt if the Geminids tonight produce any large fireballs they will put it down to ISON. doh
