Remember when you were young and beer tasted disgusting. That’s why I love IPA, it makes me feel young again #ipa #beer

This photo from Flight 12 goes soooo hard!!!!!

My favorite photo from yesterday: A powerful sight as the latest iteration of Starship climbs through Texan skies. Captured via a sound-triggered camera, this camera captured the chaotic scene far better than I could from a safe distance. Prints available in the reply.

Starlink enabled 4K live streaming from liftoff to splashdown during Starship’s 12th test flight 🛰️🚀

Congrats and a huge thank you to the SpaceX team that always delivers. This was an incredible first flight of a brand new vehicle. Our collective future flying amongst the stars has become so much closer.

Breathtakingly Beautiful

Starlink enables reliable real-time communication with recovery teams and live streaming of Starship’s splashdown in the middle of the Indian Ocean

@SciGuySpace Delays are not the worst that can happen. So it would be worth it

Hope SpaceX goes today, because they'll need to stand down over the Memorial Day weekend.

May this era be the new dawn of humanity.

SpaceX is about to launch their first V3 Starship and it’s by far the biggest and most radical change to the program to date. Here's a super quick overview of what all is new and different including the incredible new Raptor 3 engines, the new launch pad, and everything else that’s debuting on Flight 12. 00:00 - Intro 01:07 - Pad 2 03:15 - Raptor 3 04:59 - SuperHeavy V3 07:56 - Starship V3 10:52 - Flight 12 Profile

Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers basically waved off Elon’s OpenAI appeal, saying the jury’s statute of limitations ruling is tough to overturn. An activist judge letting Sam Altman skate after he hijacked a nonprofit charity — originally pledged to benefit all humanity — and turned it into his $150B+ personal for-profit empire? That’s not justice. Stealing a charity for profit is not OK. You don’t get to rewrite the mission, pocket the upside, and hide behind “time limits” while betraying the public trust. OpenAI’s founding promise was destroyed in broad daylight. This makes zero sense.

Everyone knows about the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae. Almost nothing they know is the full story. Start with the number. There weren't 300 Greeks at that pass. There were around 7,000. Spartans, Thespians, Thebans, Phocians, Locrians, Arcadians, Corinthians. Citizen-soldiers from across Greece who marched north knowing they'd be facing the largest army the ancient world had ever assembled. The 300 is just the headline. The ones who stayed to the end. Now the men themselves. King Leonidas wasn't some chiseled 30-year-old. He was roughly 60 years old when he led that march. And the 300 he picked weren't his strongest warriors. They were specifically men who already had living sons. Spartan law demanded it. Leonidas wasn't choosing an army. He was choosing men whose bloodlines could survive their deaths. Every one of them knew what that meant before they ever saw a Persian. They marched anyway. And they didn't march alone in the way movies suggest. Each Spartan citizen-soldier was accompanied by helots, the enslaved underclass that propped up the entire Spartan economy, outnumbering their masters roughly seven to one. Hundreds of helots fought and died at Thermopylae too. They get no statues. No films. No name on the monument. The pass itself was barely 15 meters wide in 480 BC (it's silted up now and looks nothing like it did then). That bottleneck is the only reason a few thousand men could hold off a Persian force modern historians estimate at 70,000 to 300,000. Herodotus said 1.7 million. He was lying, or possibly counting cooks, slaves, and camp followers, but even the conservative number is staggering. For two days, they held. Wave after wave broken against bronze and discipline. Xerxes reportedly leapt from his throne three times in fury watching his men die. He sent in the Immortals, his elite personal guard, supposedly invincible. They weren't. Not in that pass. Then the Greeks were betrayed. A local man named Ephialtes, whose name still means "nightmare" in modern Greek, sold the Persians a goat path through the mountains that flanked the pass. The Phocians assigned to guard it scattered when the Immortals appeared in the dawn fog. Leonidas knew by morning he was surrounded. He dismissed most of the allied Greek forces. Saved their lives. But here's what almost nobody talks about: roughly 700 Thespians, led by a man named Demophilus, refused to leave. They were citizen-farmers from a small town that knew Persia was coming for them next no matter what. They chose to die beside the Spartans rather than run. About 400 Thebans stayed too, though their motives were murkier and many surrendered when the end came. So the "last stand of the 300" was actually closer to 1,500 men. The Thespians died to the last. Their town was burned to the ground by the Persians weeks later anyway. They're a footnote in a story that should bear their name. The final fight happened on a small hill called Kolonos. Spears shattered. Swords broken. Herodotus says they fought with hands and teeth at the end. Leonidas fell early, and the Spartans fought four times over his body to keep the Persians from taking it. They lost. Xerxes had Leonidas decapitated and his body crucified, a violation of Persian custom so extreme it tells you exactly how badly that old man had humiliated the king of kings. Forty years later, Sparta sent a delegation to recover his bones and bring him home. Two Spartans survived the battle. One, Aristodemus, had been sent away with an eye infection. He returned to Sparta and was treated as a coward, shunned, refused fire, refused conversation, until he threw himself into the front line at Plataea a year later and died seeking redemption. The other survivor, Pantites, was sent on a diplomatic errand and missed the fight. He hanged himself from the shame. That's the world they lived in. The epitaph carved at the site doesn't brag. It doesn't even mention victory, because there wasn't one. Roughly translated, it just asks the traveler to tell Sparta that her sons died here, obedient to her laws. A small group of farmers, an old king, an enslaved underclass written out of history, and a town that vanished from the map. Together, for three days in August of 480 BC, they did the math on freedom and decided the price was worth it. We remember 300 of them. There were always more.

🇺🇸 X-planes are America’s legendary experimental aircraft program, pure test platforms used since 1946 to try radical new technologies that later shape fighters, bombers, and civilian planes. DARPA just revealed its newest one, the X-76, now moving into full construction by Bell Textron after clearing the Critical Design Review. They picked the X-76 name on purpose as a direct salute to 1776 for America’s 250th anniversary. Source: Military News
