I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.
Boring factory runs on a homegrown manufacturing execution system we call Wormhole. The system keeps track of the state of all 176,000 parts in each TBM on the line and issues tasks to everyone in the factory 24h a day, 7 days a week.
It also manages our production assets (think lathes, mills, water jets, etc.) by keeping track of what job is assigned to each and the state of its preventative maintanence (PM) schedule.
Each asset gets 2 dashboards - a PM dashboard and a task dashboard. If the machine is running a job and has all its PMs done both dashboards are bright green. If not, one or both are red.
If you want to design a factory where issues bubble up to the right people as fast as possible - design it in a way that allows someone to “see” all the problems simply by taking a quick floor walk. This is one small example of a principle that we have employed throughout our entire factory.
What if you could see a city as it looked 100 years ago, or visualize a new basketball court at your local community center?
Starting today, we're bringing our latest image generation capabilities to @GoogleEarth on the web. Powered by Nano Banana 2, you can combine rich satellite and 3D imagery with text prompts to reimagine your favorite place around the globe.
Just zoom in, tap “create image,” and type whatever you want to see!

Five years ahead of schedule. $195 million under budget.
Since October 2023, crews replaced 196 bridge structures and more than 12,600 feet of railroad along the 133-year-old Park Avenue Viaduct—all over 28 tightly coordinated weekends while maintaining full Metro-North service.
The work took place along a critical corridor carrying 98% of Metro-North trains—approximately 750 trains and 260,000 passengers every day.
With the major structural replacement now complete, we asked the project lead how the MTA delivered the work faster and for less without disrupting service.

🌟 Get true reachability calculations with the Isochrones API.
This API calculates the area you can reach from an origin point within a set amount of time — but unlike a radius, it accounts for actual road network travel times ➡️ https://t.co/q01DZA6T0X
Researchers at South Korea's KAIST and Stanford University have unveiled clothing embedded with air-powered 'vine' robots that dress the wearer hands-free in about 10 seconds, with potential for use in chip factory cleanrooms and emergency services https://t.co/LvgA0rSt1R
T-minus eight days until the launch window begins for our Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites payload. 🛰️

WOW: This is insane. You're looking at our current live camera overlooking Rochester, New York. This image is untouched, not edited or oversaturated in any way. The wildfire smoke situation right now is very reminiscent of 2023 when it got so bad.
We recently obtained the highest-resolution 3D images of the human brain ever taken from outside the skull. This is the first look.

“Number one thing I wanted to do was be a great dad”
Give this minute and a half of Ryan Day talking about fatherhood a listen.
Day talked about growing up without a dad and the importance of a support group.
