Another @sendcutsend experience worth sharing. Needed some 6061 parts … fast. (4x) 6061 plates with some slotted holes, 5/8” thick, ~44” L, deburred. Order placed 5 PM on Tuesday. Parts shipping end of day Thursday… Not only that, but at HALF the cost of a common competitor. From their website opened to quote received … 3 whole minutes. I don’t know how they do it.

First order with @sendcutsend today after seeing all the hype - powder coated 5052 mounting brackets for some regulators. Quote and lead time was insane, and took 2 mins. If these are complete when they say they will be, I’m gonna flip.

At a red light, @Tesla FSD recognized there would not sufficient space to pull behind the car in front of me without the rear end sitting on the railroad tracks, and stopped before them, with enough clearance for the barricades to close if need be. Pretty incredible.

Jake Elliot, kicker for the @Eagles, is currently tied for the most points scored by a kicker in superbowl history (15 points with 8 mins left). The last kicker to score 15 points in the superbowl was Don Chandler, in Super Bowl II, in 1968. #SuperBowlLIX

Emphasizing this point - 60 tbps per launch … this is going to be huge.
And with a glimpse of the future, views from Starship entering Earth’s atmosphere were made possible by Starlink. Soon, Starship will launch our V3 Starlink satellites, which will add 60 Tbps of capacity to the network per launch – more than 20x per Falcon 9 launch today

Works pretty good for a “partially assembled” engine :)

A deal is a deal.   @elonmusk transformed Tesla from a loss-making company to a company that’s changing the world. And he created tremendous value – over $735 billion – for $TSLA stockholders along the way.   Elon upheld his end of the bargain; it is time to uphold ours.   Watch Board Chair Robyn Denholm discuss below why it’s important to vote FOR proposals 3 and 4 & make your voice heard – vote by June 13 → votetesla.com
“The ratification of the pay package is really about fairness – fairness to our CEO,” says $TSLA chairman Robyn Denholm of the pay package for @elonmusk. “If you look at what’s happened at the company over the last six years – tremendous value creation, and he’s led that.”

Feb. 6th, 2018, I woke up, still in college, and drove from Lakeland to Playalinda beach at 4:45 AM to watch the first FH demo flight. No food, no water, no umbrella, no sunscreen - but we made it, after hours of traffic for the ~100,000 people that came to the space coast to witness history. Multiple delays later, exhausted, on the brink of heat stroke with no remedy available, 27 Merlin Engines lit up the sky in front of me. I will never forget saying “SpaceX or bust” to myself - there was no other option in my head; I knew SpaceX was the place for me, after watching that flight in person. There was nothing that was going to stop my pursuit - whatever it took, I was going to make sure I ended up at SpaceX. Fast forward to today - #PSYCHE was my 5th Falcon Heavy campaign at SpaceX, and I personally ran a large majority of the pre-launch checkouts on both side cores. Never give up; never take no for an answer; follow your dreams with an unwavering passion, and you will always succeed.
