a lot of investors ask me "what if china does this?" here's the secret: it doesn't matter. we will live in a multipolar world. they cannot under any circumstances be allowed to become the world's factory. it's that simple. we have no choice anymore, build or die.

Post #1 about something I’ve learned running a machine shop: Trust the tool brands you see leave mirror finishes. YG1, Helical, Harvey, and Haas tooling have been the go-to so far, who should we try next? Pic from the day we first set up standard Aluminum tools!

Massive explosion as Ship 36 explodes on the Static fire test stand. This will be a major setback as there is likely significant damage to the entire back half of Massey's

Always amazing to see these views of Starship pushing the limits, but man was I on the edge of my seat seeing any sort of what appeared to be errant fires/overheating

@b612foundation has taken the orbit and uncertainty of asteroid 2024YR4, sampled 10K trajectories from the current uncertainty, and propagated them forward. 2.3% of those hit the Earth on Dec.22, 2032. Here is where they hit.
