This has been my experience as well. I "drive" almost exclusively on FSD now, without incident, and it feels remarkable. I've told my soon-to-be 80-year-old father that his next car must have this technology for driving and navigation.

$60 billion is more than SpaceX has spent on rockets and spacecraft to date. Just a wild number that reinforces the company’s focus going forward.
SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models.
For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon.

This jackass fought hard to remain NASA Administrator.
This is a more realistic date than May 15 was, IMO. Getting close.
Starship Flight 12 is NET May 19.
Cool name and cool concept, but it is a long and difficult road from slick videos to real, functional hardware.
In news that should shock no one, NASA has moved the "Starliner-1" mission from June 2026 on its internal calendar to "under review." This is an uncrewed cargo demonstration flight. Since we've heard very little about this, a slip into 2027 seems more likely than not.
