The Atlanta Braves have revealed their new City Connect uniforms 💪





I'm pleased to reveal my highest resolution photo of the complete SLS in flight, captured entirely using sound-activated triggers from cameras placed near the pad. Thanks to the technique used the image is ~300 megapixels! A ridiculously hard shot to get, but worth the effort.


I own SpaceX. I participated in a private round. I was also an investor in xAI. Now here's my honest read: The cult of personality around Elon Musk gives his companies an excessive premium that is off the charts. Tesla is suffering and still carries a valuation that defies conventional metrics. SpaceX is reportedly raising $75 billion. That would be three times larger than any IPO in history. So why did I invest? Because I think Starlink alone is worth a fortune. I believe the idea of orbital data centers — getting energy from the sun, not the electricity grid, beaming it back down to earth via satellite technology is fascinating. It sounds like science fiction right now. I think it becomes fact. And I think he's better positioned to do it than anyone else on earth. But here's the lesson that really drives my thinking. I missed Amazon. $10,000 invested in the Amazon IPO on May 15th 1997 would be worth almost $20 million today. The guys who bought it were right. I wasn't. I'm not making that mistake again.

I'm sorry WHAT earth station is tracking Artemis II 😭??


🚨HORRIFYING🚨 Jurors will listen to the audio of 7-year-old Athena Strand being strangled to death by FedEx driver Tanner Horner. Horner pleaded guilty to capital murder, but a juror will decide if he should be sentenced to death. Strand told the child, “Don't scream or I'll hurt you,” as he picked her up and put her in his truck. The child tried to fight Strand off during the attack—his DNA was found under her nails. Prosecutors added that his DNA was found, “in places where you shouldn't find DNA on a 7-year-old girl.” The girl’s mother is for the death penalty being implemented.
