Prufrock-MB2 is ready to mine in Nashville! MB2 commissioning is complete, including the brief 11 rpm rotation shown here.

Will MB2 catch up to MB1, who had quite the head start?

And Prufrock-MB3 ships in August!

It has been difficult to express the sorrow over Austin Metcalf's passing. Austin was a genuine leader and warrior who will be deeply missed.

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

NEW: 17-year-old 4.0 student stabbed in the heart at a high school track event in Frisco, Texas, dies in his twin brother’s arms.

Horrifying.

Austin Metcalf was attacked after telling a teen from a different school that he was sitting in the wrong spot.

Karmelo Anthony has been been arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

Just days ago, Metcalf shared a post on X where he said, "Faith that God got me and my work will pay off."

"There was a confrontation that was started when the suspect was told he was sitting in the wrong spot," NBC 5 reported.

Metcalf reportedly didn't know the teen who stabbed him.

"They were twins, identical twins, and his brother was holding on to him, trying to make it stop bleeding, and he died in his brother's arms," Jeff Metcalf, the father, said.

"I rushed up there and I saw him on the gurney and I could tell... they said he wasn't breathing. I could see all the blood, and I saw where the wound was, and I was very concerned, so I had to find his brother, and we rushed to the hospital."

Austin Metcalf had a 4.0 GPA and was the MVP of his football team.

He was getting ready to go to college.
