Earthset.
The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

Couldn't agree more. As my colleague @vdadmahi put in writing 2 years ago:
"Building hard things can test your will to persevere by testing the strength of your partnership. Honest partnerships will achieve more than ideas or markets."

“Move Fast and Break Things” vs “Move Slow and Forge Things” “Move fast and break things” was a something we invented at Facebook to get a bunch of entitled Ivy League kids to grind for us. It worked. Then, all of Silicon Valley mistakenly confused correlation with causation and adopted this mode for themselves without questioning it. In a world of AI, those that continue to pray at this altar will be the first to lose their jobs. Moving fast and breaking things is exactly the low hanging fruit that AI will automate. Learn to move slow and forge things. Make things that can stand the test of time. Learn discipline and process and you’ll have a job forever.

Deeply relate to this. When we went public at $28b 3 years ago, IPO day filled the emotional void for about 30 minutes. Throughout the 9 years of building a company, I was mostly fueled by anger and an "I'll show you" energy. Now that I'm no longer doing that, the struggle is how to find fuel that isn't as destructive. I don't think the startup community talks enough about how often builder energy comes from dark places.

I’m starting to believe that a lot of high-performing entrepreneurs are driven by the same wound: a kid inside who was never enough, who learned to chase love through achievement. My own younger self, especially the version of me who messed up in my 20s, I’ve been punishing him for years. Pushing him, grinding him, telling him he has to earn his worth. Recently I started to heal that part. Told him he can finally relax. But now I’m stuck with a strange question: if I’m not pushing that kid anymore…then how do I work? How do I create without turning self-pressure into fuel? I’m trying to learn how to build from freedom, and spaciousness, not self-punishment. It’s incredibly difficult, but I have this sense it’s where my best work lives.

Thank you Grady, Carrie, and the NVNG team!

Defense tech is no longer a closed-door conversation. I spoke with @VCJournal about why the future of national security investing isn’t just weapons, it’s AI in critical systems we all depend on: chips, grids, water and more. venturecapitaljournal.com/how-vcs-are-fu…

Thank you to @reindsummit and @vdadmahi for the inspiring discussion. Technology is a top priority for @DCIARatcliffe and @CIA given the economic & military threat posed by the CCP. Innovation & public-private partnerships are critical to the U.S. to maintain its strategic edge.

Grateful to be backing J Criss and Harner! These two are an incredible duo rapidly inspiring a wave of engineers to solve water scarcity: a generational problem we are blessed to be tackling from this side of the hemisphere.

Water is Life Partnering with Vital Lyfe Water is life — and even with today’s technological marvels, we haven’t made enough progress delivering water to the entire world. 2.2 billion people lack safe drinking water, 3.5 billion lack proper sanitation, and 2.3 billion can’t even wash their hands at home. Despite our oceans’ abundance, we don't have enough fresh water — over 90% of it is either trapped in glaciers or stuck underground. Desalination offers the promise of a solution, but progress has been painfully slow. So we set out looking for a team to solve this. Today @Cantos is excited to share that we've partnered with a team who's on a mission to create a decentralized, mobile, and affordable RO solution to solve our water crisis. By designing modular, high-performing RO systems, Vital Lyfe is delivering an immediate, practical solution for regions where building or upgrading traditional infrastructure is prohibitively slow or expensive. This approach bypasses many of the costly, time-consuming steps required to stand up large treatment facilities, enabling faster impact at lower cost. We view this as a definitive Cantos preseed opportunity — two exceptionally well referenced engineers that are tackling a big market with a foundational key insight, and the same rapid hardware playbook we’ve seen many of our other portfolio companies successfully employ. This is a group with massive aspirations, and we believe in what they can accomplish. We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Jon Criss, Andrew Harner, and the rest of the Vital Lyfe team. We’re also excited to be working with our friends at @TheSpaceVC @gen_partners, and @CapitalAlso. Earth has no shortage of water, just a lack of accessible solutions. Vital Lyfe is building the tech to finally change that.

This has been making the rounds on social media WRT @NASA. If you want to save #NASA funding you are all going to have to actually #EmbraceTheChallenge and stand up. Otherwise, just sit down and let others shoulder the burden. #AdAstra
