The device is marketed as a lifestyle assistant that can recommend breathing exercises. There are concerns that such data will eventually be mandated by insurance companies to monitor policyholders.
Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, Magnets in Space, NASA Budget
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a $2 billion physics experiment scheduled to be installed on the International Space Station. Originally estimated at $33 million in 1999, the project's cost has ballooned significantly. The hosts express deep skepticism about the "magnets in space" experiment, questioning why such funds are spent on theoretical physics while citizens face homelessness.
