Los Angeles: please be on the lookout for a shitty rusted blue 2002 Land Rover Discovery 2 w/texas plates. That’s right, my beloved Disco Stu was stolen last night! It has over 300k miles on it and I am cracking up at the idea of the thief dealing with all its quirks.

@RyanHansenSpace My guess is moon = orbital data center fab:

Please enjoy this Cheeky Pint / @dwarkesh_sp crossover with @elonmusk. Dwarkesh was most interested in how Elon is going to make space datacenters work. I was most interested in Elon's method for attacking hard technical problems, and why it hasn’t been replicated as much as you might expect. But we got into plenty of topics in this three-hour session. 00:00:23 Space GPUs 00:35:39 Alignment 00:58:48 xAI 01:15:01 Optimus 01:28:03 China 01:40:46 Management 02:16:38 DOGE 02:34:58 Space GPUs redux

Not sure how to feel about this. A little over a year ago the Moon was considered a distraction and Mars was the primary focus by Elon's own words. It seems like there's been a massive shift in the past few months away from a future that I and so many others were really looking forward to seeing happen within the decade. I understand the short term advantages this has but there are also disadvantages from a technology perspective. I just hope there are still strong voices within SpaceX still pushing for Mars.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.

Here's an article that took 4 years to write: A Tale of Two Cameras — Unraveling the Mystery of the First Hasselblad in Space.

BREAKING: Tesla has revealed a Cyber SUV model in their new "Sustainable Abundance" video.
The mini models can be seen in the back of the Tesla design studio behind the clay Cybercab in the video. Whether Tesla will release a Cyber SUV remains to be seen, but based on these models, they've at least thought about it and came up with some designs. It looks like there could be a couple different Cyber designs on the shelf.
Video in thread.

On artstation looking for Meatguns fan art and found this badboy by Doug Williams 8 years ago! ( he is not on twitter anymore but can find him on Instagram) worked with him a year ago so I must have stolen the idea by osmosis. the dude is pure inspiration and a blast to work with

@BocaChicaGal @NASASpaceflight We know what this means... Pi must fly on every booster now 😅

Booster 14 flew with Raptor engine 314. Raptor engine 314 had previously flown on Booster 12 which was the first Booster to be caught by the chopsticks. 🔥🚀🔥

@justinsullivan We have to model a lot of real world objects for our game so now my camera roll is loaded with this particular reference 😅
