🇺🇸 ALINA HABBA: IF YOU CAN’T ANSWER AN EMAIL, YOU SHOULDN’T BE WORKING FOR AMERICA
“I worked my butt off—speaking to people in the Middle East, fighting child trafficking, and making our country better.
If you can’t list five things you did, that’s a serious problem.
I don’t want you working alongside me or Trump.”

🚨🇺🇸ALINA HABBA: STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT ELON... WHAT ARE YOU ACTUALLY DOING FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS?
“If you’re wasting taxpayer dollars protesting with a beer can or complaining about Elon, what are you actually doing for the people who voted for you?
The woke stuff, the DEI stuff—it won’t be tolerated in this administration.”

Walter Isaacson: Musk is driven by mission more than any person I've ever seen.
“It's not only mission, it's cosmic missions. He's got three really big missions.
One is to make humans a space-faring civilization, make us multiplanetary or get us to Mars.
Number two is to bring us into the era of sustainable energy, to bring us into the era of electric vehicles, solar roofs and battery packs.
And third is to make sure that artificial intelligence is safe and is aligned with human values.
Every now and then, I'd talk to him, and we'd be talking about Starlink satellites or whatever, or he would be pushing the people in front of him at SpaceX and saying, if you do this, we'll never get to Mars in our lifetime.
Then he would give the lecture of how important it was for human consciousness to get to Mars in our lifetime.
And I'm thinking, okay, this is the pep talk of somebody trying to inspire a team. Or maybe it's the type of pontification you do on a podcast.
But on the 20th time I watched him, I realized, okay, I believe it. He actually is driven by this.”

MARS ONCE HAD VACATION-WORTHY BEACHES—WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?
Turns out the Red Planet wasn’t always a dusty wasteland.
Billions of years ago, waves lapped at sandy shores while rivers fed a vast Martian ocean.
New radar scans from China’s Zhurong rover uncovered 1.3 kilometers of buried coastal deposits, eerily similar to Earth’s shorelines.
The layers formed over tens of millions of years, pointing to a long-lived ocean—not just a one-off flood.
If Mars had stable water, it might have had the right conditions for life.
So…where did it all go?
