It's been a wild ride this past wk after launching Float Globe on Kickstarter! Hit our goal in under and hour and then hit the $14k mark in less than a wk. Thanks to all my supporters 🙏

If you haven't already, snag a Float Globe quick for up to 15% off in the remaining Early Bird tiers.

Buddy of mine @bd_zero_g launched this neat project last week. They already achieved their initial goal in under an hour, so now we're trying to get them to their first stretch goal!

@NASAAdmin So cool! Nicely done 👏

Our renovated lobby is now open to the public. Stop by to immerse yourself in the Golden Age of exploration.

YOU are the Artemis generation.

FSD Supervised is the only software that has completed several coast-to-coast drives without human input

[Brandon @bd_zero_g]

@rookisaacman @RaminNasibov Same! Protoss we're badass.

[David Moss @DavidMoss]

@DavidMoss, @DevinOlsenn, and @Scotsrule08 are proud to announce that we have successfully completed the world’s first Canada coast to coast fully autonomous drive!

We left Horseshoe Bay Terminal in Vancouver. BC 4 days & 21 hours ago, and now have ended in Halifax, NS at the Tesla Showroom

(3,760miles/6,051km)

This was accomplished with Tesla FSD v14.3.3 with absolutely 0 disengagements of any kind even for all parking including at Tesla Superchargers.

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

This is epic.

Over 2,619 miles (4,215 kms) driven on Tesla FSD across Canada with zero human input. 100% on Self-Driving.

More people should be talking about this. Autonomy is here.

[Brandon @bd_zero_g]

@wholemars Is there a visualizer like Replit? I find that so useful!

[NASA @NASA]

On Tuesday, June 9, we’ll announce the four astronauts who will orbit Earth aboard the @NASAArtemis III mission!

Watch our live event at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC) to find out who will test the docking capabilities necessary for crewed Moon landings: https://t.co/TyU7StKGxH

@Erdayastronaut @British_Airways 💯

[Brandon @bd_zero_g]

@elonmusk @PolymarketMoney Which company?

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

The next chapter of lunar exploration is closer than many realize.

Later this year, we’ll begin robotic landings near the Moon’s South Pole, laying the foundation for a sustained human presence on the Moon.

Tune in for our @NASAMoonBase update this afternoon.

Starship’s Super Heavy booster produces roughly the same thrust as ~80 Boeing 747s all firing at once

The scale of that power is almost incomprehensible

Its Raptor 3 engines are true marvels of engineering - each one generating an insane ~280 metric tons of thrust while operating at chamber pressures approaching ~350 bar, making them the most advanced rocket engines ever built

Now that Starship V3 has made its debut, we are one step closer to making life multiplanetary.

During Fram2 training, apart from the usual Dragon-related topics, I remember that what we talked about most in the training room was how to reliably tether down on Phobos.

Three months ago, Elon announced that the focus would shift toward the Moon. That makes sense. And I am also excited to see that, with AI data centers, we may eventually find a way to make space commercially practical.

So why am I setting my sights on Mars rather than the Moon? Because I believe that even without private investment in lunar flights, we will still reach the Moon, and likely very soon. As competition between the United States and China intensifies, governments will turn lunar bases into reality. And I am happy to sit back and watch that happen.

On the other hand, I have no confidence that Mars will still happen within our lifetime. And I think I should do something about that. I hope that by purchasing a flyby mission to Mars, SpaceX will have another reason not to forget about Mars. Because we seriously shouldn’t defer Mars to our next generation.

Although this mission will not make a tether down on Phobos, everything has to begin with a first step. We had Mariner 4 and 9 before the Vikings, and today’s Curiosity and Perseverance. I hope this mission can show the public that Mars is not just a point of light in a telescope. It is a real place, and humans can fly there and come back alive and come back healthy.
