They did it! SpaceX has just caught their Starship rocket for the first time ever, marking the first recovery of a conventional orbital rocket upper stage in history!
This is one of the greatest engineering achievements in history. Congrats to the entire @SpaceX team! 🚀

> Guy "Well when I said I would protect her with my life if she was ever in danger, I actually meant I would protect her with my life if she was ever in danger providing the extra conditions I am adding right now that were not in my original promise are also met and since those conditions I added after the original promise were not met, I did not break my promise to protect her if she were ever in danger"
@BeardedTesla Damn. Get Tessie or another 3rd party app. Will notify you if your windows are open when precipitation is approaching. Sorry about your truck.
@MKBHD Yeah, nobody actually cares what your bet was anymore. Tesla is selling fully autonomous vehicles next month. You keep doing your cell phone reviews.
I honestly don't really care about this bet at this point, but your own words in your video 2 months ago were:
"The bet is simple. It's that the promise that they made on stage will not happen. That golden Robotaxi with two seats, no driver, no steering wheel and no pedals will not ship to regular people like you and me for $30k before the end of 2026, and I said I'd shave my head if they do."
Tesla is going to deliver you (as well as some other members of the public) a Cybercab with no steering wheel or pedals for $29,990 next month that you can use on any public roads where Tesla's other robotaxis are available.
In Iain M. Banks's books, the Culture solves envy—a crux of humanity—by letting every citizen experience what they have not yet via tremendous compute (a world where citizens have no token limit).
Citizens quickly realize envy is pointless, as different life experiences mix good and bad; the grass of others is not any greener.
