The NASA logo is recognizable around the world because of the near-impossible feats we have accomplished and all we are still capable of achieving.

In some years past, we became comfortable moving at a different pace, one inconsistent with Mercury, Gemini, Apollo or Shuttle. We started outsourcing capabilities that should be essential to any organization built around technical, operational and engineering excellence.

For a period of time, we tried to make everyone happy. In most cases, that means no one is happy, because the headlines the interested public was waiting to read took far too long, cost way too much and, in many cases, were never realized at all.

The best and brightest across NASA show up to work each day looking to change the world, and that meant dusting off the playbook from decades past and getting after it.

We are rebuilding the workforce after a level of outsourced staffing that was indefensible. We are pausing and pivoting away from programs that were not on a path to success, freeing up billions of dollars in resources, and refocusing on the President’s national space policy and the objectives outlined through Ignition, including the missions no other agency, company or even nation is capable of achieving. And we are off to a good start.

This is how NASA made the history that inspired so many of us, and this is how we will do it again.

NEWS: ASML has invited Elon Musk to speak at its internal technology conference, Dutch outlet NUnl reports.

Elon Musk's response: "ASML should be treasured and supported. It is arguably the greatest company in Europe."

ASML builds the EUV lithography machines that every advanced chip on Earth depends on. With Musk's companies designing their own AI silicon and pushing into chip manufacturing, his respect for this company is no accident.

Front row seats for the world's largest + most powerful rocket launch—Starship V3 🚀 Captured in 8K60 on #GoProMISSION1 Pro by @LaunchHeavenX

Fun Fact: This 408-foot-tall (124m) rocket delivers over 18 million pounds of thrust. That's equivalent to the thrust of 31 Boeing 747s jumbo jets at full power, combined 🤯

For a driver born without arms, FSD Supervised is life-changing accessibility

“I was born without arms and have driven with my feet my entire life. I’m a fully licensed driver, and traditionally I drove with my left foot on the steering wheel and my right foot handling the gas and brake. My only legal restrictions are automatic transmission and power steering.

Over the years, though, the strain from my congenital birth defects has led to significant arthritis in my hips. I drove a Model 3 for the past seven years, and it honestly helped extend my independence in a huge way.

Recently upgrading to the Model Y – along with Full Self-Driving – has been a complete game changer for me.

It dramatically reduces the physical pressure and fatigue of driving and has helped preserve a level of freedom and mobility that means a great deal to me.

Most people understandably think of Tesla in terms of innovation or sustainability, but for some of us, this technology truly becomes life-changing accessibility.”

For the first time in our existence, we possess the means, technology, and, for the moment, the will to establish a permanent human presence beyond Earth. Starship is designed to make this future a reality → https://t.co/dGAZiB4rr3

Starship continues to simultaneously be the fastest path to returning humans to the surface of the Moon and a core enabler of the Artemis program’s goal to establish a permanent, sustainable presence on the lunar surface → https://t.co/dGAZiB4rr3

You can’t know how much the super market “lost” if you don’t know the margins on each individual item “purchased”. We can say for sure they are still out N300, but the remainder N700 was given back in exchange for that amount in goods. Add up the total cost at the price the store paid for each individual item, then add N300 and there’s your answer. Impossible to know without that information.
