I took 1.7 million photos over 6 days to catch this photo of a commercial jet in front of the sun.
The moment it happened, TWO floating prominences were visible, making this not just my best aircraft transit photo, but one of the luckiest of my career! Videos of the transit 👇
I'm honestly SHOCKED at how the general public has NO IDEA Artemis II is taking humans out to the moon and will be the furthest humans have ever flown. Every non-space nerd I've talked to has no idea. WE GOTTA GET PEOPLE STOKED!!!! THESE FOUR HUMANS ARE FLYING TO THE MOON!!!

From undrafted to the summer league to the G-League and now to the NBA, Q’s journey has been so much fun to follow, and there is nobody more deserving.
Congrats and Gig Em @_flyguyq 👍

Generational fumble
Was on a flight to Dallas last month
Weirdly, there was a random guy next to me in first class.
He was wearing a hoodie, beat-up nikes with airpods in.
Figured he got upgraded with points or something.
But the real reason he was there blew my mind
We both ordered drinks, and he started talking.
Asked what I do...
Told him I run ecom stores, and do some coaching.
He nodded and I asked him the same.
"Yeah, I sold my company last year for $340 million"
I thought he was messing with me, but he wasn't.
This guy is 43, built a software company that helps restaurants manage inventory
"Boring as hell. Nobody cares about restaurant inventory software, but every restaurant needs it"
Said he spent a couple years building it.
Lived in the same apartment the entire time and drove a 2012 honda civic until 2023.
I asked why he's flying commercial if he just cashed out for $340M
He looked at me like I asked something obvious
"I fly commercial because the second you start thinking you're too good to sit next to regular people, you stop understanding what they actually want"
Said he built his company selling to normal restaurant owners.
People working 80 hour weeks just to keep their spot open.
"If I start flying private and staying in penthouses, I forget what their life looks like. I forget what problems actually matter to them"
Told me about a competitor who raised $50M, started flying private everywhere, hired a chef for the office
"His product got worse every year because he stopped talking to actual customers.
Started building features investors thought were cool instead of features restaurant owners needed"
The guy's company got acquired.
The competitor shut down 18 months later.
"The moment you separate yourself from the people you're selling to, you lose your edge. Proximity to reality is more valuable than comfort"
I asked if he's ever tempted to buy the flashy cars, the beach house, and the whole flex.
"I bought a nicer house. I travel more. But I'm not trying to look rich.
I'm trying to stay useful"
He said the wealthiest people he knows are the most paranoid about losing touch.
"They know the second they stop understanding normal problems, they become irrelevant"
We landed. He grabbed his backpack and walked off.
Silly me... a couple minutes later, I realized I never even got his details to hit up later.
