Step one: break the sound barrier.✔️

The X-59 has officially flown at supersonic speeds for the first time, marking a major step forward on the path to quieting the sonic boom. Even faster and quieter flights are coming soon.

@TNTSportsUS @espn Stanley cup broadcasts have been terrible. Audio issues, random video segments that play over goals, etc. Is this amateur hour? PK Subban and these ridiculous outfits, unprofessional. If this was the Super Bowl fans would riot. Get your programs together.

TienKung Ultra finished the full 21.0975 km in 1:15:00 — fully autonomous, zero human intervention. 🤖

No repeat win this time.

But it was easily one of the most striking robots on the course —
clean gait, stable motion, and the most human-like running form out there.

It took home the “Best Design” award,
and that actually says more than the podium this time.

Because this isn’t a marathon-only build.

TienKung Ultra is a general-purpose humanoid,
already moving toward real-world deployment.

And it didn’t show up alone.

Teams from Peking University, Fudan, HUST, BIT, Beihang, HKUST(GZ), TUM and more
were all building on the same TienKung platform.

That’s what an open ecosystem looks like —
shared hardware, shared stack, different solutions on top.

And just a day before, it took the Robot Warrior Challenge —
fully autonomous through obstacle tasks modeled on real-world rescue and hazardous operations.

That’s the part that matters.

This is no longer just about speed.
It’s about autonomy — and whether these systems can actually handle real environments.

That’s what future winners are going to look like.

#OTD in 1970, the Apollo 13 crew got their first glimpse of the damage caused by the explosion that occurred 200,000 miles from Earth.
The recent Artemis II mission helps us comprehend the gravity of the situation.
Here's my photographic analysis of the damage:

Before ➡️ after
I had a bolt from the Falcon-9 rocket that flew me to space made into my husband’s wedding ring

Here’s the story- SpaceX gave me this plaque after my mission. After Ryan and I got engaged I got the idea for the ring and brought the bolt to a local jeweler. They said they couldn’t melt it (not surprising that space hardware isn’t easy to melt 😉). I then brought it to the Memphis Metal Museum where a metalsmith was able to forge it into this ring. The ring is entirely made of the bolt metal. I also got a ring made for myself :)
I was so happy to share this piece of me with Ryan, and he’s thrilled with his ring 🥰

You want to know how the magnetic core memory works, right. I know we all do.

It sort of works like this:

Here are 4k+ versions of the shots I released today, both high-res mosaics.

The moon was captured after the historic flyby from my backyard, and the launch was captured using sound-activated triggers on cameras near the launch pad.

I thought they made a nice pair :)

A NASA colocou um Cessna com uma câmera capaz de gravar em 8k@120fps para registrar o lançamento do SLS com a Artemis II.
O vídeo vai da decolagem até a separação dos boosters laterais, e a versão em 8k está nas respostas!
