Nasa astronaut Jessica Meir, part of the SpaceX Crew-12 mission, released a timelapse showing the southern lights as seen from the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. They appear near the poles because Earth's magnetic field channels charged particles from the sun toward those regions, where they collide with the atmosphere and create shimmering curtains of colour. 'As opposed to the previous aurora I’ve se...
Nasa astronaut Jessica Meir, part of the SpaceX Crew-12 mission, released a timelapse showing the southern lights as seen from the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. They appear near the poles because Earth's magnetic field channels charged particles from the sun toward those regions, where they collide with the atmosphere and create shimmering curtains of colour. 'As opposed to the previous aurora I’ve seen, this one danced and snaked its way directly below us, putting on quite a show. I am in awe of this ethereal and emotionally evocative phenomenon,' Meir wrote on social media Continue reading...

Sequoia Partner Shaun Maguire: SpaceX's New Millionaires Will Fund Pro-America Projects SpaceX's planned IPO next Friday will be a major wealth-creation event for current and former employees, including engineers, technicians, mariners, welders, and other salaried workers who have accumulated equity over the years. Elite liberals who earned unproductive, 'woke' degrees and are drowning in $100,000 or more in student debt, working two jobs, won't be able to stomach that the basic SpaceX welder working on Starship will become an overnight millionaire next Friday.

The Wall Street Journal spoke with several former employees expected to become overnight millionaires: Maryellyn Musselman, a former SpaceX engineering officer on rocket-recovery vessels, put 10% of her paycheck into company equity and may use the proceeds to start a repair business in Virginia. Juan Hernandez, a former SpaceX welder who started as a contractor at $28 an hour, used earlier share sales to buy Texas properties and build a real estate business with his wife. His remaining stake is worth about $880,000 at the IPO price. As for what some of these newly minted millionaires will do with their wealth, Shaun Maguire of Sequoia Capital told Molly O'Shea of the Sourcery podcast: "There's this meme that wives of tech billionaires go on to do NGOs and fund bad causes—SpaceX will be the literal opposite." "These people are going to do the most amazing things with their money." "Most people that joined SpaceX over 15 years ago—they did it for the mission. Because they love space, and want to build rockets. They want to work with their hands and want to keep Americ...
