Four 7-metre solar array wings, built by Airbus, are the ultimate power source for the Orion spacecraft propelling the Artemis mission to the Moon. Capturing the Sun's light in space, they provide the electricity needed to run every system on board, from flight computers to life support. 💡Each wing rotates on two axes to track the Sun perfectly, ensuring maximum energy production.

TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI! The show is staying the same and we’ll continue to go live at 11am pacific every weekday. This is a full circle moment for me as I’ve worked with @sama for well over a decade. He funded my first company in 2013. Then helped us fix a serious logjam during a critical funding round a few years later. When I took my second company through YC, he was president at the time, and then when I joined Founders Fund, the first deal I saw in motion was the post-ChatGPT round in late 2022. And as we started growing TBPN last year, he was the very first lab lead to join the show. Thank you to everyone that has been a part of TBPN until now. The last year has been the most fun and rewarding part of my career and we’re excited to have more resources than ever going forward.



In my opinion, there are too many companies/startups aiming to sell services to manufacturers, and not enough people starting new manufacturers. Have many friends in the services space, and there are many great ones. Not against them. But we need more modern shops, not another SaaS product that will drain profit and be 40% utilized because it’s an off the shelf product not form fit to the business’s operations. Watching what my boy @zanehengsperger is doing, what @ThaaatColin, @kaiarhodes and @MatthewChang, @Russell_MFG_USA and so many others are building, and can’t help but feel like that is the way. The factory should be the product.
