Nothing much, just built this 3d printed metal LOX turbo pump for liquid rocket engine when I was still shy from 23 yrs! Though, maybe I would fancy making such sculptures too. I mean, why not?

@Robotbeat come work with us @boringcompany :)

Wanna start a Mars Underground. Like, doing shenanigans as a little group to help the future Martians.

ping @0xnullcline

it’ll be cool if somone with @neuralink can operate @boringcompany’s liner truck + prufrock machine :) seems viable and doable rn 👀

sneak peek at autonomous liner trucks in subterranean tunnels on earth. next on the moon and mars.

This feels like a scene out of a sci-fi movie but it’s just my drive to work this morning

robot mining vehicles @boringcompany mining planets and their moons across the solar system

We're thinking about it.

The near impossible is becoming possible. We are building toward a sustained human presence at the lunar South Pole. It begins with Phase 1: CLPS landers and LTV rovers testing the “science of survival” on the lunar surface before heavy HLS cargo landers deliver the mass and infrastructure needed for an enduring presence. We are building the Moon Base for all we will learn, the innovation that will improve life on Earth, the inspiration for the next generation of explorers, and to master the skills needed for where we will inevitably go next...Mars. The Golden Age of lunar exploration has begun.

See how Prufrock continuously mines - pushing and building at the same time. The machines, from Las Vegas to Dubai, are remotely controlled from our Bastrop Operations Center. These advances help TBC deliver more miles each year in the battle against soul-destroying traffic.

Views of Starship in space from a @Starlink satellite

A front-row seat to SpaceX CRS-34 docking 🚀

Launch rehearsal complete. During a flight-like countdown, more than 5,000 metric tonnes (11+ million pounds) of propellant were loaded on the fully stacked Starship and Super Heavy V3 vehicles for the first time

Starship and Super Heavy V3 together at the Starbase launch pad for the first time

Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket

Earthshine. Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch captured this video of Earth outside the windows of the Orion spacecraft during the second flight day of the mission. Orion was roughly 33,800 miles (54,500 km) away from Earth when @Astro_Christina took this video.

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
