For anyone interested in where it's gonna be...

The foundations for an exciting future are being built in Texas. Next up: Terafab → spacex.com/updates#terafab
Received my first NIB Stern Pinball machine yesterday, the new Transformers machine. Amazing game full of Nostalgia, but improving Optimus may be my first engineering project in a while which can talk about!
From an engineering perspective, this is the greatest video @SpaceX has ever released. The Falcon Heavy first launch comes close from an emotional impact point of view, but this is 100% my new favorite.
The path to launch is filled with obstacles and success is only possible through the tireless efforts of many working together towards a common goal. “Critical Path” continues the ongoing Starship series, following SpaceX engineers through the final days before launch of the first Starship V3 and the challenges that come with development of the world’s most powerful and fully reusable rocket.

Celebrated my Jet ski’s “gotcha-day” of 12 years with a sunset trip to the lake! @MattJackson 🌵
This is a very similar realization to one I had this weekend while pulling a sailboat 50 miles in the cybertruck... I was suddenly much less chill having to drive manually again.
I thought Tesla Full Self-Driving would make my commute easier.
I did not expect it to expose me as the problem.
Turns out I was not “driving defensively.”
I was conducting a one-man municipal audit of every idiot within 300 yards.
Someone going 40 in a 25?
I had notes.
Someone taking too long at a green light?
I had a full theory of civilizational decline.
Now the car drives and I just sit there like a reformed man.
No high blood pressure.
No death grip on the wheel.
No courtroom monologue about lane discipline.
My wife noticed immediately.
She said, “You’re way more chill in the car, I like this!”
That is when I realized Tesla didn’t just make the car drive itself.
It made me stop narrating the collapse of society from the driver’s seat.
This is an excellent explanation of Tesla's new hand design, and is my favorite thing I've read this week.
My wife is awesome. The cats are pretty cool too. – at Mesa, AZ
Daryl & Apollo are super excited for splashdown this afternoon! They are wearing their own OCSS suits too! Wishing the crew of Artemis II a safe & amazing journey back home. 🤍 @NASAArtemis
Blows my mind that Medicaid fraud annually in CA is more than double NASA's budget. This cannot be allowed to stand.

We tried curling today for the first time. It’s pretty awesome! Thanks Coyotes Curling Club! @MattJackson
