Wait so the entire Barcelona veterans came to Raphinha and asked him to keep the ball safe instead of taking the free kick.
Wait for Yamal’s reaction when Raphinha disobeyed them.
Elon Musk just revealed the staggering scale of SpaceX's future Starlink network, with the potential to OUTCOMPETE the undersea fiber-optic cables powering the global internet
SpaceX is targeting Starlink V4 with 10× the capability of V3, which itself is designed to deliver 10× the capability of V2
That's a massive 100× increase in capability from V2 to V4
And the long-term vision for Starlink's space-based laser network is even more insane
More than 100,000 satellites, each equipped with approximately 100 optical laser links operating above 10 Tbps
The scale is absolutely staggering:
• ~100 lasers per satellite
• Each laser operating above 10 Tbps
• More than 100,000 satellites across the network
• Light travels approximately 40% faster through space than through fiber-optic cables, a 1.4× propagation-speed advantage
• More direct laser routes instead of following the outlines of continents
A network of more than 100,000 satellites equipped with ultra-high-bandwidth laser links has the potential to OUTCOMPETE the undersea cables that form the backbone of today's global internet
SpaceX is working toward moving a significant part of the world's communications infrastructure into space
We announced New Glenn’s third stage today (GS3). The team recently completed testing of what we expect will be the largest composite LH2 tank ever flown in space. The tank was pressurized (at cryo temps) above 100% of the Maximum Expected Operating Pressure (MEOP) for flight and cycled 10 times (totaling over 2.5 hours) and over 10 minutes at 150% MEOP. GS3 stands 37 feet tall and is housed in an interstage, preserving the full fairing volume for customer payloads.
SpaceX selected Qualcomm Dragonwing to accelerate @Starlink Mobile’s nationwide terrestrial 5G network. Together with @elonmusk and the @SpaceX team, we’re excited to build world-leading cellular infrastructure and a path to AI-native 6G. 🤜🤛

My respect for Elon Musk has mostly vanished, but I still thought that at least he is a good engineer (Teslas are great cars). But that last bit also got a blow after hearing him say that it is easier to "cool things down" in space. The opposite is true. A vacuum is the best possible isolator. In space you can only dissipate heat through radiation. It is extremely unlikely these data centers in space will ever happen (and certainly not in our lifetimes).
Are you stepping into a spacesuit this week? So are @astro_anil and @astro_kutryk — but not for Halloween!
Tune in here on Oct. 29 at 6:30am ET (1030 UTC) to watch these two astronauts deploy a new solar array on the @Space_Station.
