Guys... I seriously can't get over what happened. 😳
We spent the weekend at my relatives' lake house, and right before we packed up to leave, we decided to jump in the pool one last time. That's when we spotted THIS. 😭
None of us had ever seen anything like it before, and it completely caught us off guard. Does anyone know what this could be? We're all so curious!

@AnthonyDiComo WHY did ANYONE think this team with sooo many people playing out of position and no real closer and wishing guys would bounce back or not get hurt think they were playoff bound?

@niccruzpatane @SpaceX Why is the top of the rocket spewing so much black smoke?

How @SpaceX landed their booster at sea for the first time vs. how China landed theirs for the first time.
There’s a 10-year difference between these two landings.

@nikstankovic_ What are you being paid by China?
Tell you're jealous of Elon without telling me you are jealous of Elon!?

Americans are coping again: we did it first.
It doesn't matter who did it first. What matters is who eventually does it best and cheapest.
You wouldn't have guns if China didn't invent gunpowder in the 9th century. It also didn't help China defend against the British cannons in 1839.

A historic day in China’s space program! China’s Long March-10B has successfully completed its maiden flight—and recovered its first stage via a sea-based net. This marks the country’s first-ever controlled rocket recovery. A major leap toward reusable launch capabilities. 🚀🌊🇨🇳

@The_Guy_Space Let's see them refly one and also repeat this hundreds of times

I don't want to black pill everyone, but I'm 90% sure China is going to beat America back to the moon.

While Wall Street executives rake in nearly $1,800 an hour, home-based child care providers earn a median wage of just $6. That isn't a reflection of the value of their work. It's a reflection of an economy that has never valued care the way it values wealth.
It was an honor to visit Xiomara Family Day Care in the Bronx and sit down with extraordinary home-based educators as part of our administration's listening tour with family child care providers.
Together, we will build a universal child care system that works — for families and educators alike.

@heyshrutimishra How much does the communist government of China pay you for these posts??

🚨 BREAKING: China just built its own SpaceX moment.
First attempt. Maiden flight. No landing legs, no propulsive touchdown like Falcon 9. The Long March-10B booster made a controlled descent onto a sea barge and a net hooked it mid-air, aircraft carrier style. The target cost: $150 per kilogram to orbit. Falcon 9 charges roughly $3,000.
A rocket booster is just the visible part. The same acceleration is happening underneath, in the inputs that make hardware like this possible faster than it used to be.
The OECD reported in March that China's total R&D spending hit $1.03 trillion in 2024, overtaking the US for the first time. That's the fuel. The output side moved just as fast: Chinese universities graduate 50,000 new STEM PhDs a year, feeding an engineering base most Western economies don't have. In AI specifically, China's domestic chip share crossed 41% in 2025, a first, with Huawei's Ascend line on pace to take half the market by year end. DeepSeek trained a GPT-4 class model for about $5.5 million in compute, versus OpenAI's reported $100 million for GPT-4 alone.
Different sectors. Same pattern: the time between "we can't do this yet" and "we shipped it" keeps shrinking, and AI is the reason. Faster iteration on chips means faster iteration on models, which means faster iteration on everything those models get pointed at, including rocket recovery systems. China's commercial space sector had a dozen companies attempting reusable rockets three years ago. Most failed. Today one of them caught a booster on the first try.
Every moat in the S&P 500 was priced on an assumption about how long it takes a competitor to catch up. AI is compressing that timeline across EVs, batteries, robotics, AI inference, and clean energy at once. Not eventually. Now.
The investors who get hurt in the next decade won't be the ones who picked the wrong stocks. They'll be the ones who built their models on timelines that no longer exist.

This week, we celebrated another chapter in New York City business history with the groundbreaking of the new American Express headquarters at 2 World Trade Center.
This project will create more than 3,200 union construction jobs and generate billions in economic activity. It will also produce nearly $250 million in tax revenue that will go toward paving potholes, improving schools, planting trees, and supporting the services New Yorkers rely on every day.
These are the commitments that will help build a stronger New York City for generations to come.
