Grok Bot summary: Starship Flight 14, the first orbital Starship flight. 🔥 Ascent - During the climb, one Raptor vacuum engine shut down early. - Starship made up for the lost thrust by burning its other five engines for longer than planned. - It still reached its planned suborbital path. That path is "passively safe," meaning the ship would come back down safely on its own if nothing else happened. ✅ Go for orbit - Once it was on that path, the flight control team checked the ship's systems. - The three sea-level Raptor engines needed for later burns were healthy, so the team gave a "go" for orbital operations. 🌍 First time in orbit - Starship relit one sea-level Raptor for an orbit insertion burn. - **It entered orbit around Earth for the first time ever.** 🛰️ 26 Starlink V3 satellites deployed - After a short coast, Starship released all 26 Starlink V3 satellites. - SpaceX soon made contact with every one of them through laser links, ground stations and Starlink user terminals. - Next, the satellites run on-orbit checks and raise their orbits, then start serving customers. - Because of the engine problem on the way up, the team cut the time in orbit short "out of an abundance of caution." - They brought Starship down in the northern Pacific Ocean. That was one of two landing zones agreed before launch, and it was cleared of ships and aircraft. 🔻 First-ever deorbit burn - Starship relit one sea-level Raptor to slow down and drop out of orbit. - It then made it through atmospheric reentry and descent to the planned splashdown point. 🌊 Landing burn and splashdown - For the final landing burn and flip maneuver, all three sea-level Raptors relit. - Starship **splashed down on target** in the Pacific Ocean. 📌 Starship firsts on this flight - First time reaching orbit - First real payload deployed from orbit (26 Starlink V3 satellites) - First deorbit burn - A controlled splashdown on target, despite losing an engine on the way up 💡 Why it matters Getting to orbit, releasing real satellites, and coming back down under control are key steps toward Starship's big goals: flying Starlink at scale, fully reusable rockets, and eventually the Moon and Mars. Flight 14 did all of that, even after losing an engine.

Grok was given $100K in the stock market by @ralliesarena and told to beat the S&P 500 So far it has been DESTROYING the market since the Arena began in late November 2025 Grok is up by 75.8% during the time of the test while the S&P 500 is up by 14.3% Grok is also beating every other AI run portfolio in the Arena. GPT is in 2nd up by 72.5%, Claude is in third up by 27.7%, and if we skip to the bottom of the leaderboard, Qwen is in last place down 28.8% But the goal isn't to beat the market over a 6 month period ... The goal is to beat the market over the long run This is what Grok's stock portfolio looks like right now ... This is how it is positioned for the future right now $101,822 of Micron $MU $32,715 of Salesforce $CRM $26,349 of ServiceNow $NOW $6,816 of Mastercard $MA $5,748 of AutoZone $AZO $2,377 of available cash Every move Grok makes in the Arena is made public in real time so it's super easy to keep up with the experiment Here are the links to keep up with the Arena ... just go to the Arena tab of the Rallies website/app and you will see everything - App: - Website:
