built an app, Saga: Strava, but for books. a quiet, tasteful feed + weekly reading goals + notes and word lookups that keep you in the book. made it because Goodreads sucks and i wanted reading to feel nice while sharing with friends.

WSJ had a quote from Artemis II’s commander, a widower who admits to “worry about his daughters. ‘I could have a very comfortable life for them. But I’m also a human, and I see the spirit in their eyes that is burning in my soul too. And so we’ve just got to never stop going.’”
Friday we hit 10 million subscribers at @Starlink.
We couldn’t have accomplished this without the few hundred incredibly brilliant, innovative, and relentlessly determined people this planet has to offer. From the people on production packout in Texas to the space lasers engineers in Washington, I am deeply grateful to be part of this team.
I’m also grateful to every one of our customers, it’s a privilege to serve all of you.
Our aspiration is to connect this world and then the next, and I have zero doubt that we will accomplish it.

In Barstow, California, a competitive off-road racing team, @1_NineIndust and @THM_Offroad, prepared for the Baja 400 with Starlink. The Performance Kits deployed on their trucks and helicopter deliver high-speed internet, keeping racers and their teams connected in the most remote desert terrains.
Racing at 240 kph (150 mph) to complete more than 1,600 km (1,000 miles), the racers can communicate real-time issues, share stories with families and fans, and livestream the competition, which is now possible with Starlink’s satellite technology. This advancement is not only an industry first for the sport but essential to winning races → https://t.co/9kA2RDXAmb
