When we made flight beautiful and fast, we built the modern world. Since then, civilizational speed has stagnated. @hermeuscorp represents a return to ambition.
Civilizational velocity is a choice and we can choose to go fast again.
Everybody stop and watch this.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, a legal immigrant, successful actor, and former California Governor, just left The View STUNNED.
They attempted to get him to condemn ICE raids and what did he do?
He credited America for his success, promoted legal immigration, and called out violent criminal aliens.
Absolute masterclass:
“I'm so proud and happy that I was embraced by the American people like that. Imagine I came over here with absolutely nothing, and then to create a career like that. In no other country in the world could you do that. Every single thing is because of America.”
“The key thing is that we got to do things legal. Those people that are doing illegal things in America, and they're the foreigners, they are not smart. When you come to America, you're a guest and you have to behave like a guest.”
“You have a responsibility as an immigrant to give back to America and to pay back to America and to go and do something for your community.”
On Monday, I took a major step towards restoring public trust in vaccines by reconstituting the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP). I retired the 17 current members of the committee. I’m now repopulating ACIP with the eight new members who will attend ACIP’s scheduled June 25 meeting. The slate includes highly credentialed scientists, leading public-health experts, and some of America’s most accomplished physicians. All of these individuals are committed to evidence-based medicine, gold-standard science, and common sense. They have each committed to demanding definitive safety and efficacy data before making any new vaccine recommendations. The committee will review safety and efficacy data for the current schedule as well. I’m proud to announce ACIP’s new members:

Airborne! Last week, Quarterhorse Mk 1 took off from Edwards AFB, achieved stable flight and landed smoothly. Mk 1's flight validated our rapid, iterative approach to airplane development and advanced our mission to radically accelerate aviation.
Airborne! Last week, Quarterhorse Mk 1 took off from Edwards AFB, achieved stable flight and landed smoothly. Mk 1's flight validated our rapid, iterative approach to airplane development and advanced our mission to radically accelerate aviation.
The team is conducting high-speed wind tunnel tests, pushing our Quarterhorse Mk 2 model from Mach 0.6 to Mach 3 — the core of our flight envelope. Testing under these supersonic conditions is validating our analytical predictions and assembling the critical dataset necessary to advance the Quarterhorse Mk 2 build.
Laser-focused on quality.
Our Quality Lab ensures that every component meets the highest standards without slowing us down. Our in-house inspection capabilities allow us to own the entire inspection process so we can quickly address findings, iterate on designs, and keep Quarterhorse Mk 2 production moving forward. A few cutting edge tools like advanced CMMs and high-resolution 3D scanning help verify that parts meet requirements and can handle the demands of high-mach flight.
Wow, this is REAL footage from @fireflyspace of their historic Moon landing two days ago. No CGI, no AI.
Some of the most incredible footage I've ever seen. Such exciting times we are living in.
This is how you accelerate US hypersonic technology 🇺🇸
Our HEAT facility will reduce capacity limitations on hypersonic testing, offer more affordable options, and establish itself as a critical national resource.
