@Inspireus55 Yes! The scenery is great! 😀 Boating season has officially begun. 🥳 I just finished waxing the outside and next weekend I'll work on the inside. Too bad you didn't live closer. I need karate lessons Mrs. Miyagi. 😂 Enjoy the rest of your day! 😊

The Sun is by far the biggest source of energy in our solar system
Even here on Earth, the Sun accounts for roughly 100% of all the energy we use - fossil fuels are just ancient sunlight stored in plants, while wind, hydro, biomass, and solar power are all driven by the Sun right now
Beyond Earth, the vast majority of spacecraft, satellites, and future Mars bases run entirely on solar energy
The Sun puts out 3.8 × 10²⁶ watts - more energy in a single second than all of humanity has ever used in its entire history
And just to put it in perspective: the Sun makes up 99.8% of the total mass of our entire solar system. Jupiter is only 0.1%. Everything else (Earth, Mars, asteroids, etc.) is basically miscellaneous
We’re finally learning how to use the only energy source that actually matters ☀️

Starlink is now by far the largest satellite constellation in human history and no other network even comes close
With 10,199+ satellites currently in orbit, Starlink makes up over 2/3 of all active satellites circling Earth right now
This massive ring of satellites is already delivering high-speed internet to millions of people across the planet from remote villages and disaster zones to ships at sea, airplanes in flight, and even Antarctica and places where high-speed internet never existed before
SpaceX keeps launching more satellites like every other day. The network is growing fast and getting better every month
Best part is, it’s designed to be very responsible. All Starlink satellites orbit at a low altitude (480–550 km). Even if one ever lost control, it would run out of fuel within 5 years and naturally burn up in the atmosphere. No long-term space junk and SpaceX actively provides free satellite collision warning data to every space agency out there and built a traffic network in space to make it easier for other operators
The future of global connectivity is literally circling above us right now 🔥

Neuralink enables those who have lost the ability to speak to speak again
Katie Pavlich@KatiePavlich
Last night I spoke with Brad Smith @ALScyborg, the first person with ALS to have @neuralink implanted. He has his voice back through AI and can even make dad jokes again. Absolutely incredible technology changing lives and bettering humanity. Thank you @elonmusk!

Lloyd's of London had a $200 million problem floating 210 miles above Earth. So they called NASA and said: go get our satellites back.
NASA charged them $5.5 million. For that price, they got two astronauts in nitrogen jetpacks, flying untethered at 17,500 mph, manually stopping spinning satellites by jamming a spike into their rocket nozzles, then having a third astronaut swing them into the shuttle cargo bay with a robotic arm.
The first retrieval went wrong. The grapple fixture didn't work. Joe Allen had to hold a 9,600-pound satellite over his head by its antenna for an entire 90-minute orbit while Gardner bolted an adapter to the bottom. His wife radioed from Houston: "Make sure there are no pigeons on your shoulders."
They did the second satellite two days later. Ran an hour ahead of schedule.
When Discovery landed at Kennedy Space Center, a Customs official (arranged by NASA pranksters) confronted the crew about duties owed on $200 million in imported satellite equipment. Lloyd's awarded them silver medals, flew them to London on the Concorde, and arranged tea with Prince Charles.
Gardner held up a "For Sale" sign next to the satellites. The jetpack he used was permanently retired. No human has flown untethered in space since.
$5.5 million for a $200 million repo. The best ROI in insurance history came from two guys in jetpacks.

In 1984, astronaut Dale Gardner used a jetpack to fly completely untethered through space and catch a falling satellite by hand

There's a lot to process on Day 8 of the @NASAArtemis II mission. With Earth in view from Orion's windows, the astronauts are packing up and reflecting on their lunar journey.
