This might be the coolest real estate business in the world.

Some dudes took over a ranch in Texas and built a telescope farm. They're managing hundreds and hundreds of scopes for other people and offering super dark skies and fiber internet so that folks can take amazing pictures of space.

Behold Starfront Observatories.

If only someone had predicted the rise of the space economy and industry in Low Earth Orbit

[Nathan @nathaninme]

Can’t recommend this book enough. Might be time for a reread. When The Heavens Went On Sale along with @SciGuySpace’s Liftoff and Reentry are easily the top 3 books about the rise of the commercial space industry.

More than 70 pecent of the end-of-life lithium-ion batteries in the US flow through Redwood Materials to be recycled into their base elements. Redwood is now the largest Cobalt producer in the US, as a result.

We spent a day with Redwood's CEO JB Straubel to see the whole operation in action. https://t.co/IdadswB8Dl

[Ashlee Vance @ashleevance]

Full episode here https://t.co/BMmyDQzNjd

[Ashlee Vance @ashleevance]

We spent a day with JB Straubel to see everything Redwood Materials has been building. And we've put it all together for a glorious podcast meets the factory tour episode.
