Die Enterprise gerät in einen interstellaren Sturm – und landet 65 Millionen Jahre in der Vergangenheit. Während Una, La'An und Ortegas zwischen Dinosauriern nach Iridium suchen, entdeckt Pike ein Geheimnis, das die Geschichte des gesamten Sonnensystems verändert. In unserer Folgenbesprechung zu „Valles Marineris“, dem Auftakt der vierten Staffel von Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, sprechen wir über: • den realen Mars-Canyon Valles Marineris • die Erde am Ende der Kreidezeit • den Chicxulub-Einschlag und das Ende der Dinosaurier • veränderte Sternbilder vor 65 Millionen Jahren • außerirdische Zivilisationen in der fernen Vergangenheit • die gefährliche Logik hinter Ancient Aliens • interstellaren Imperialismus und politische Gegenwartsbezüge • Pikes moralische Entscheidung und Kants Menschheitszweckformel • Iridium, Warp-Antriebe und sehr großzügige Planetenphysik Und natürlich beantworten wir die entscheidende Frage: Ist der Grand Canyon neben Valles Marineris überhaupt noch ein Canyon – oder nur eine ambitionierte Furche mit Souvenirshop? Spoilerwarnung: Wir besprechen die gesamte Episode. #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds #VallesMarineris #StarTrekSNW #CaptainPike #DiscoveryPanel #StarTrekPodcast
Is Cerebras Systems the next great AI chip stock or a red-hot IPO priced for perfection? In this episode of 7investing Live, Simon Erickson and executive producer Heather Horton welcome back Nick Rossolillo, co-founder of Chip Stock Investor, to break down three of the market's biggest stories.First up: Cerebras Systems (NASDAQ:CBRS), the wafer-scale chip maker that just IPO'd at a $40+ billion market cap. With 44GB of SRAM embedded directly on the chip, Cerebras was purpose-built to solve AI's "memory wall" problem for inference workloads. Now it's reportedly landed a ~$10 billion order from OpenAI and a deal with Amazon Web Services that could top $20 billion. Simon and Nick dig into whether these massive orders are real, how Cerebras stacks up against NVIDIA's GPUs and hyperscaler custom silicon, the TSMC capacity bottleneck that could throttle its growth, and how to value a company trading near 20x sales without profits.Then the conversation turns to Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB), which has pulled back from $150 to around $70 per share. Simon shares the latest iteration of his discounted cash flow valuation, and the duo debates the proposed Iridium acquisition — a deal that could pull Rocket Lab to EBITDA-positive on a pro forma basis — plus what the long-awaited Neutron rocket launch means for the company's future.Finally: Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX). After another quarter of decelerating revenue guidance, is the streaming giant now a value stock rather than a growth stock? Nick explains why the advertising business hasn't reaccelerated growth the way he expected, and what he'd need to see before buying the dip.Plus: Nick's take on the recent chip stock sell-off across NVIDIA, AMD, Broadcom, SanDisk, and Kioxia and why "stocks go up, stocks go down" might be the healthiest way to think about it.Subscribe for more deep dives on AI infrastructure, semiconductors, and innovative growth stocks!Start your FREE 7-day trial of 7investing: https://www.7investing.com/subscribeFollow Nick and Casey Rossolillo at Chip Stock Investor: https://chipstockinvestor.comRocket Lab Deep Dive videos mentionedPart 1 https://youtu.be/AMDd0-JKUH0 (Deep Dive)Part 2: https://youtu.be/Z76xTGFNwBA (Valuation)Companies MentionedPublicly Traded:Cerebras Systems (NASDAQ:CBRS)Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB)Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX)NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA)Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD)Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO)Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU)Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM)Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL)Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META)Iridium Communications (NASDAQ:IRDM)SanDisk (NASDAQ:SNDK)Kioxia Holdings (TSE:285A)Globalstar (NASDAQ:GSAT)SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX)Private / Pre-IPO:OpenAIAnthropicVideos Mentioned:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z76xTGFNwBA&t=3shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMDd0-JKUH0&t=987sHere's the shifted chapter list, with all timestamps moved back 55 seconds:0:00 Welcome to 7investing Live0:54 Cerebras Systems: IPO recap & the Wafer-Scale Engine2:31 Is NVIDIA even the right comparison for Cerebras?5:38 The memory wall: why bigger AI models need new chips8:52 Latency vs. throughput — and the new AI alliances10:46 Are the $10B OpenAI & $20B Amazon orders real?14:02 Cerebras risks: how do you value a hot IPO?17:27 The TSMC capacity bottleneck20:01 Heather's take on Cerebras20:41 Rocket Lab: the sell-off & Iridium acquisition24:34 Simon's DCF valuation & price target for RKLB29:05 Why Neutron changes everything30:12 Q&A: Does Peter Beck carry an "Elon premium"?31:36 Netflix: buying opportunity or cheap for a reason?36:57 Q&A: Is Netflix a growth stock or a value stock?39:03 Chip stocks selling off: normal volatility or a warning?42:57 Wrap-up & final thoughts#7investing #Simonerickson #Cerebras #CBRS #NVIDIA #AIinvesting #semiconductors #chipstocks #RocketLab #RKLB #Netflix #NFLX #AIinference #stocks #investing #stockmarket #TSMC #AIdatacenters
Chris and Matt cover everything going on in the space industry (and man is there a lot going on)! Spring and early summer 2026 have been rough, chaotic, and genuinely wild for the space industry. Here's the condensed version. Starship goes big, then goes public. SpaceX's redesigned Starship V3 completed a full wet dress rehearsal and then launched for the first time on May 22, deploying 22 mock Starlink satellites despite losing an engine mid-ascent. Weeks later SpaceX itself went public in a roughly $75 billion IPO, one of the largest in recent memory, while simultaneously unveiling an 11-million-square-foot "Gigasat" factory for orbital AI data centers and floating plans for a Starlink-branded mobile phone service. Blue Origin's terrible, horrible, no-good stretch. A successful New Glenn booster reuse in April was undercut by a stranded satellite, then a static-fire explosion in May leveled the company's only launch pad. CEO Dave Limp is now considering Blue Origin's first outside funding round in 25 years, even as NASA publicly backs the company while quietly weighing backup lunar lander options. NASA presses ahead on the Moon. A three-phase lunar base plan is moving forward with contracts to Blue Origin, Astrolab, Lunar Outpost, and Firefly Aerospace, and NASA named its Artemis III crew (Bresnik, Parmitano, Rubio, Douglas). Blue Origin's launch pad explosion happened one month after that crew announcement — a reminder of how shaky the hardware timeline still is. Separately, NASA's Isaacman said he expects a Chinese crewed lunar flyby in 2027. Aging hardware keeps causing headaches. The ISS's Russian segment leak got bad enough in June that astronauts sheltered in a docked Dragon; Russia has now agreed to permanently seal off the affected module. The Lunar Gateway turned up corroded before it even launched. And a NASA Inspector General audit found Boeing's Starliner is now a full decade behind its original schedule, with NASA unsure it will ever be certified for routine crew flights. Consolidation and new bets. Rocket Lab agreed to acquire satellite operator Iridium for about $8 billion, instantly becoming a launch-plus-services company. SpaceX is building its own natural gas pipeline ("Starpipe") to feed Starship's fuel needs. Smaller stories worth a mention: Blue Origin demoed a reactor pulling breathable oxygen from lunar dust; JPL broke the sound barrier with Mars helicopter rotor blades; NASA's X-59 flew supersonic without a sonic boom, and the FAA is proposing to lift the 1973 ban on overland supersonic flight.

Esta semana en Actualidad Semanal +D... Hay empresas que pasan media vida intentando que el mercado olvide lo que fueron. A veces lo consiguen. A veces no. Y a veces, que es lo verdaderamente interesante, el mercado tarda tanto en darse cuenta del cambio que deja una oportunidad escondida a plena vista. Esta semana tenemos un pequeño desfile de fantasmas corporativos, empezando por el más evidente: BlackBerry. Sí, BlackBerry, la del teclado físico, la del ejecutivo contestando correos en 2007 con la solemnidad de quien cree estar salvando el capitalismo desde el asiento trasero de un taxi. Pues bien, ha presentado resultados muy serios, y lo relevante ya no tiene nada que ver con teléfonos, sino con QNX, el software que corre dentro de millones de coches y que podría convertirse en una pieza clave de la inteligencia artificial física. Pero BlackBerry no viene sola. Nike también ha pasado por caja, y el mercado le ha recordado algo bastante cruel: una marca legendaria ayuda, pero no basta si el crecimiento empieza a parecer normalito. Comcast, por su parte, ha decidido que mezclar conectividad con Hollywood quizá no era una sinergia, sino una convivencia incómoda con demasiadas facturas compartidas. Rocket Lab ha comprado Iridium para acercarse, aunque sea de lejos y con prismáticos, al modelo SpaceX. Y Meta, después de gastarse una fortuna bíblica en infraestructura de inteligencia artificial, intenta convencer a los inversores de que ese capex no era una hoguera ceremonial, sino una futura línea de ingresos. Así que hoy vamos a hablar de empresas intentando escapar de su propio pasado sin disfrazarse de lo que no son. BlackBerry quiere dejar de ser un teclado. Nike quiere demostrar que todavía puede ser Nike. Comcast se divorcia para ver si las partes valen más que el matrimonio. Rocket Lab compra una órbita. Meta intenta alquilar la nube que le sobra. Y el mercado, menos romántico que un auditor con jet lag, sólo hace una pregunta: “muy bien todo esto, pero ¿quién paga?”. ¿TE LO VAS A PERDER?

SCHEDULE OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-1--2026.1804 GREENWICHRick Fisher discusses China's Tiangong space station, which is set to double in size by 2030 and host international partners. He highlights dual-use military concerns and potential plans for a lunar toll booth at the L2 Lagrange point to control access to the moon. (1)Jim Fanell explains China's "salami slicing" tactics in the maritime domain, using law enforcement vessels to claim sovereign jurisdiction over waters east of Taiwan. He recommends the U.S. counter these moves by sending an aircraft carrier strike group through the Taiwan Strait to assert international law. (2)Steve Yates analyzes China's Ethnic Unity Law, which codifies ethnonationalism and criminalizes the denial of Chinese identity even for those outside the PRC. The law targets Taiwanese identity and may lead to the extradition of critics, reflecting the CCP's focus on total ideological control. (3)Gordon Chang and Steve Yates discuss the alarm in Beijing after a small aircraft crashed into the CITIC Tower, highlighting vulnerabilities in China's air defenses near the leadership compound. The incident shattered the narrative of an impervious security state, raising fears that drones could easily strike the capital. (4)Bob Zimmerman discusses Rocket Lab's acquisition of Iridium for $8 billion, signaling a trend toward vertical integration. He also covers Blue Origin's investigation into a launchpad explosion and SpaceX's Star Mind data constellation, emphasizing the importance of corporate transparency and risk-taking in the space industry. (5)Bob Zimmerman reports that NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman is streamlining the Artemis program by focusing on a lunar base and leveraging private sector contracts for landers and infrastructure. Meanwhile, the Boeing Starlinerprogram is likely dead following poor performance and the Inspector General's recommendation to halt further funding. (6)Bob Zimmerman examines new spaceports in Sweden, Oman, and Australia, noting geographical and financial challenges. He criticizes India's ISRO for a lack of transparency regarding delays in the Gaganyaan manned mission and undisclosed rocket failures, warning that such secrecy breeds public distrust. (7)Bob Zimmerman reports research showing weightlessness harms reproduction in mice, suggesting humans will need artificial gravity for long-term missions. On Mars, Curiosity discovered unique polygon ridges, possibly indicating ancient water. Additionally, New Horizons confirmed the solar wind slows at the solar system's edge. (8)Professor Evan Ellis discusses the two massive earthquakes that struck Venezuela, causing widespread destruction due to corrupt building practices and neglected infrastructure. The U.S. military has deployed 900 personnel for relief as the illegitimate Rodriguez government struggles to provide an effective humanitarian response to the mounting tragedy. (9)Professor Evan Ellis analyzes the challenges facing President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella, who must reverse fiscal mismanagement while navigating a divided Congress. His administration plans a hardline stance against illegal armed groups like the ELN and FARC to restore state authority and encourage foreign investment in the mining and oil sectors. (10)Professor Evan Ellis reports that Keiko Fujimori is the declared victor in Peru's election, promising a pro-security, pro-U.S. agenda despite continued economic ties with China. Meanwhile, Bolivia remains unstable as President Rodrigo Paznavigates an economic crisis, currency devaluation, and ongoing pressure from former leader Evo Morales. (11)Professor Evan Ellis discusses the U.S. decision not to renew the USMCA, maintaining leverage over Mexico regarding security and immigration. In Argentina, a cabinet resignation due to corruption investigations highlights vulnerabilities for President Milei's administration despite his successful macroeconomic turnarounds and libertarian policies that have improved the country's financial standing. (12)Simon Constable reports on the breaking of a severe European heat wave and shifting commodity prices, with Brentcrude seeing a significant drop. In the UK, Andy Burnham is positioned as a potential new Prime Minister, though there are calls for a general election. (13)Michael Bernstam reports that Ukrainian drone strikes have taken 28% of Russian oil refineries out of commission, causing widespread fuel shortages and forcing Russia to import gasoline. Vladimir Putin admitted the situation is "difficult" as Crimea faces crises in fuel, food, and water due to severed supply routes. (14)Anne Stevenson-Yang describes the collapse of China's real estate market, where half-empty apartment towers in ghost cities now offer cheap rent to young workers. Municipalities are burdened with massive debt from failed development projects, and building maintenance is deteriorating as developers walk away. (15)Justin Leopold Cohen discusses the trilateral framework between Israel, Lebanon, and the U.S. that aims to disarm Hezbollah, though the group has rejected the terms. Despite reduced Iranian power, Hezbollah remains a heavily armed proxy, maintaining extensive tunnel networks and continuing clashes with the IDF along the border. (16)Each file is now a single paragraph, John — headlines and guest lines fully folded in, numbering intact at the tail. Let me know if anything needs another pass.

A landmark day in space news: the Vera Rubin Observatory officially begins its ten-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time, NASA reveals it may send a spare nuclear-powered Mars rover to the Moon's south pole, Blue Origin shows off its rebuilt launch pad a month after the New Glenn explosion, Rocket Lab strikes an $8 billion deal to acquire Iridium, a brief Swift/LINK scrub update, and scientists hold the first-ever summit on sending humans to Titan. 1. Rubin Observatory Begins Its Ten-Year Cosmic Movie The NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory officially began the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) on June 30, 2026, following a months-long commissioning process after handover from construction to operations last October. Rubin's 8.4-metre Simonyi Survey Telescope, fitted with the largest digital camera ever built (3,200 megapixels), will scan the entire southern sky every few nights for the next decade, producing a new image roughly every 40 seconds. Each area of sky will be revisited around 800 times over the survey's ten years, generating up to 7 million nightly alerts and around 10 terabytes of data per night. The final dataset is expected to contain billions of objects. Source: NOIRLab / SLAC / Rubin Observatory press release, June 30, 2026 2. Swift/LINK: Scrubbed, Retargeted for Tonight The launch of Katalyst Space's LINK servicing spacecraft — riding the final Pegasus XL rocket to rendezvous with NASA's Swift Observatory — was scrubbed Tuesday, June 30, due to unfavourable weather over Kwajalein Atoll.

Blue Origin Reveals Its Rebuilt Launch Pad One month after a New Glenn rocket exploded during a static-fire test at Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 36A on May 28, Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp announced the company will rebuild the pad in a new 'horizontal/vertical hybrid' configuration rather than recreating the original. Reconstruction has begun, with Blue Origin targeting a return to flight before the end of 2026. Early analysis points to the aft section of the first stage as the source of the anomaly, though the investigation continues.

En el episodio de hoy Juan Manuel de los Reyes y Valentina Orduz analizaron las tensiones diplomáticas entre EE.UU. e Irán tras la reunión en Doha y lo que implica para el petróleo y el Estrecho de Ormuz. También explicaron el fallo de la Corte Suprema que bloquea, por ahora, el intento de Trump de remover a Lisa Cook de la Fed, y por qué esto importa para la independencia del banco central. En el frente corporativo, hablaron de la compra de Iridium por parte de Rocket Lab, una operación de US$8.000 millones que confirma la ola de consolidación en comunicaciones satelitales. Cerraron con la entrada de Alphabet al Dow Jones en reemplazo de Verizon.

Rocket Lab is buying satellite network operator Iridium for $14 billion, causing the company's shares to jump 18 percent, according to new reports. This would put Rocket Lab in a position to go head-to-head with Starlink, owned by Elon Musk's SpaceX. BusinessDesk tech columnist Peter Griffin says this is an 'ambitious' move from CEO Peter Beck.

Kia ora. Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news the Persian Gulf situation is settling into a chronic stalemate after the acute hot conflict. US allies in the region are confused, Qatar's role in negotiations is questioned as to whether it can actually do anything, and Iran and Oman are moving forward with their plans for 'fees' and 'management' of the waterway. The US is getting sidelined. One outcome seems clear however; Chinese EV's are dominating world car sales so demand for crude oil is likely to be much less in the future, and that will limit oil price pressures. But first today, there was another dairy Pulse auction overnight, bringing lower prices again. AMF fell -2.5% from last week's event, butter was down -0.5%, SMP was down a chunky -6.2% and WMP slipped -0.6%. These build on trends we have seen since mid-May and given the rise in global milk production by the main exporters (New Zealand included), it is a trend likely to continue for a while yet. In the US, labour market data for May about job openings was little-changed from April even if it still is near a two year high, which was slightly better than was expected. But the June PMI report for the important Chicago manufacturing hub was quite a bit weaker than for May and what was expected. But it is only back to February levels which isn't bad at all. It was a fall away in new orders that drove the easing. Meanwhile the Dallas Fed's regional services survey became positive - just - for the first time in five months. They reported that selling price pressures increased slightly, while input price and wage pressures grew at a faster pace. The Conference Board sentiment survey barely moved in June from May, which actually was a result that disappointed analysts because a more marked improvement was anticipated. And that was because respondents turned negative about job prospects, with almost a quarter of them unexpectedly saying jobs are 'hard to get', the highest level sine early 2021. And we should perhaps note that the deadly screwworm cattle disease is still spreading in Texas and New Mexico, spreading to other animals too. Even though the number of animals reported as having contracted the disease remains small, the risks to cattle herds in these states in very large. In Canada, the expectation that it was falling into recession has proven not to be the case. Canada's GDP rebounded from a first-quarter contraction to record a +0.5% monthly gain in April making this their largest economic expansion in nine months. Their May estimate points to a further if minor + 0.1% growth. Across the Pacific in Japan, the yen slipped into the 162-per-US dollar range yesterday for the first time in 39 years,and extending a slide that has accelerated in the past few months. A two month intervention effort isn't working, raising fresh questions about what is driving the yen's renewed weakness. China's official PMIs posted some marginal improvements in June, actually very marginal but at least they are not contracting. Their factory PMI is expanding, just. New orders picked up slightly. And their services PMI is now not contracting. But it isn't expanding either. New orders in this version are still negative, but the overall index was bolstered by expectations for improvement and lower lead times. All other more direct elements are negative to some degree. We should note that the unofficial PMIs by S&P Global/RatingDog have tended to be more expansionary in 2026. These unofficial results will come later today (Wednesday) and Friday. German inflation came in at 2.3% in June, down from 2.6% in May, 2.9% in April, and softer than anticipated, mainly because energy prices retreated there. Back in the US, Rocket Lab has agreed to buy Iridium Communications, a pioneer in satellite telephones, in a broadening attempt to compete with Starlink. It combines their launch capabilities and satellite manufacturing with Iridium's network in low-Earth orbit and valuable radio frequencies for satellite communication. Yesterday we reported a +6% rise in May air cargo activity. But today the May air passenger travel data was released showing a declined -2.2% from a year ago, down -3.1% for international travel. The main diver of the pullback was international travel through the Middle East (-28.8%). But it is also worth noting that domestic air travel in China fell (-6.2%) as well as in the US (-1.9%). The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.43%, up +6 bps from this time yesterday. The price of gold has risen to US$4026/oz, up a net +US$4/oz from yesterday. Silver is now under US$59.50/oz, up +US$1.50 from a day ago. Oil prices are down -US$1.50 from yesterday at just on US$69.50/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is unchanged at just on US$73/bbl. Hormuz transits have stayed at their lower level after the recent volatility & uncertainties with just 19 crude or product tankers exiting over the past 24 hours (5 dark with transponders off) and 23 entering for new loads (5 dark). Over the past two days, almost 70% of the exiting vessels have been headed to China. The Kiwi dollar is up +30 bps from this time yesterday at just under 56.8 USc. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 82.1 AUc. Against the euro we are up +20 bps at just on 49.7 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 60.6 which is up another +20 bps from this time yesterday. The bitcoin price starts today at US$58.325 and down -3.3% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at just under +/- 2.0%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora.

SpaceX began trading under the ticker SPCX, opening at $150 per share and implying a valuation above $2 trillion, according to qz.com. The company led by CEO Elon Musk operates launch services with Falcon rockets and the Starlink satellite broadband network, while developing Starship for heavy payloads. Early trading is expected to be volatile, with lockup periods limiting insider sales and potential index inclusion only after eligibility reviews. A valuation at this level focuses attention on capital allocation to Starlink satellites, ground infrastructure, and launch facilities in Texas and Florida. Competitive pressure persists from Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, Viasat, Iridium, and Amazon's Project Kuiper. Investors will weigh recurring Starlink revenue against aerospace execution risks tied to launches, regulation, and geopolitics.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Bloomberg reported that SpaceX shares rose after a record IPO and were set to extend gains. The company operates both launch services and the Starlink satellite broadband network, supported by multi-year contracts with NASA and the U.S. Space Force. SpaceX executed ninety six orbital launches in 2023 and had more than five thousand Starlink satellites in orbit by mid 2024. A strong listing can reset valuation benchmarks for peers such as Rocket Lab, Iridium, and Viasat while influencing private competitors like Blue Origin and AST SpaceMobile. Founders should watch governance choices, employee liquidity, and lockup terms, along with regulatory requirements from the FAA and FCC. The aftermarket will inform how analysts model unit economics and how investors price capital-intensive growth in aerospace and adjacent industries.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

The Social Hour is back for its 4th episode — and this one covered a lot of ground. Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, are joined by two sharp voices from the financial media world: Josh Schafer, Newsletter Editor and Investing Personality at Barron's Investor Circle, and Talmon Smith, Economics Reporter at The New York Times.Fair warning: Ryan's 140-pound Great Pyrenees may or may not have been snoring in the background, Talmon showed up fashionably late on Central Time, and somehow the conversation ended with a tease about something big coming to Omaha. But in between? Plenty of substance.They dig into semiconductors ripping 18 days in a row, the Intel comeback story nobody saw coming, and why AI infrastructure names from chips to optical networking to data center builders keep defying expectations. Josh breaks down what's actually driving the earnings surprise story, why FOMO is back in the market, and what the tailwinds (or lack thereof) look like for the back half of the year. Talmon brings the macro and human side of things, connecting the dots between surging corporate margins, collapsing consumer sentiment, and what affordability really means for everyday Americans. Sonu drops some eye-opening services inflation data that reframes the whole "inflation is solved" narrative.Key Takeaways:Semis on a historic run: The SOX up 18 consecutive days with broad breadth, not just NvidiaIntel's surprise: Earnings estimates doubled overnight and the turnaround thesis is gaining tractionAI infrastructure trade alive and well: Telecom ETF names like Iridium and Lumentum up 100%+ YTDEarnings boom: 26% EPS growth across 25% of S&P 500 reporters and this isn't just Big TechConsumer sentiment vs. stock market: Why both can be true at the same timeServices inflation running hot: Personal care, dental, and vehicle rentals all well above targetThe Fed's hands are tied: Labor market steady, inflation sticky, no clear path to cutsGDP watch: Real GDP print incoming, brace for noise and focus on nominalJosh Schafer and Talmon Smith are not affiliated with CWM, LLC.

The interview with Les Paul (1915-2009) took place in April 2008, coordinated from Los Angeles, I flew to New York just to have the opportunity to speak with the Les Paul earlier in the day before his performance that evening at the Iridium.Les typically played two shows every Monday night (8:00 PM and 10:00 PM). He performed with the Les Paul Trio, which often included Lou Pallo on guitar and Nicki Parrott on bass.His shows were famous for surprise appearances by guitar icons like Slash, Steve Miller, and Paul McCartney. Les Paul continued this Monday night tradition until his final performance on June 1, 2009, just months before he passed away in August 2009. Les Paul's accomplishments are so vast that he is often called the "Father of Modern Music". He is uniquely recognized as the only person inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Musical Inventions & Technology include, Solid-Body Electric Guitar: In 1941, he built "The Log," one of the first solid-body electric guitars, which eventually led to the iconic Gibson Les Paul model.Multitrack Recording: He pioneered the technique of recording separate tracks and layering them, effectively inventing the modern studio process.Studio Effects: He is credited with developing overdubbing (sound-on-sound), tape delay, phasing, and reverb.8-Track Tape Recorder: He commissioned the first 8-track "Octopus" recorder from Ampex, allowing for even more complex arrangements.The Paulverizer: A device attached to his guitar that allowed him to control recording and playback loops live on stage. He also achieved Chart-Topping Hits: Alongside his wife, Mary Ford, he had numerous #1 hits in the 1950s, including "How High the Moon" and "Vaya Con Dios". Les was a virtuoso guitarist: Known for his "brassy" playing style and lightning-fast runs, he influenced generations of guitarists from Eric Clapton to Slash. Les Paul won multiple Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award (1983) and a Technical Grammy (2001).National Medal of Arts: Awarded in 2007 by the National Endowment for the Arts for his contributions to American culture.Emmy Award: Received a Lifetime Achievement Award in Engineering in 2004.KPFK Music Director Maggie LePique interviewed then-92 year old Les Paul before his weekly performance at the Iridium Club in New York City on April 7th, 2008. On a chilly Monday afternoon before his first set, Les was in great form: what started out as a friendly conversation becomes a whirlwind overview of this legendary guitar player and inventor. From his early hard body electric guitar invention to the Les Pulverizer to his first ever multi-track recording to his blistering guitar technique, Les Paul is the original Guitar Hero. ENJOY!!

With the SBR tax stamps going to $0, I am considering having the barrel cut and threaded to 11”. This is basically the end of the stock forearm. I'm running it suppressed with subs only, as God and Jeremy demand. Is getting 5” cut off worth the effort for the performance/enjoyment return? Question from Andrew H Hey dudes, long time listener here dating back to 2016 and second time questioner. I'm in the market for a semi auto .22lr handgun so I'm sure Shawn already hates this question. It's purpose would be for frequent cheap target practice, and maybe occasional EDC as I prefer to carry 9mm. I am kind of between the Walther P22Q (tactical?) or the Taurus TX22, however welcome the groups recommendations on other firearms as well. Historically I've disliked every Taurus I've held or shot. Reviews are mixed on the P22 but I like the look and feel better. Love the show and all you guys do. Thanks until next time. #ssb Question from Nick F this year I turn 44, naturally I'd like to get myself a 44 magnum. y'all got any suggestions to solve my dirty harry dilemma? Question from Kyle R I was excited last year for Ohio to be hosting Guncon, but disappointed I couldn't make it. Sounds like I missed a bullet though. With Patton trying again, this time outside of “BEAUTIFUL” Youngstown, I'll get a second chance. Are all of the cast planning on going? Could this be the trip that finally gets Shawn to quit being a Commie and move to a respectable state? Question from Ben Dover Can you suggest a decently light hunting rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor? I have a Bergara B-14 HMR and I'd prefer something that weighs a bit less. Not looking to get into a Bergara after my first experience GUN INDUSTRY NEWS TACWRK Announces Tasmanian Tiger TT Mega Mil OPS Pack 600 TACWRK, in collaboration with Ripperkon, has released the largest Tasmanian Tiger backpack ever built, the TT Mega Mil OPS Pack 600, boasting a 900-liter capacity in Olive.

The Space Show Presents Dr. Siamak Hesar and Araz Feyzi on the Shenzhou-20 Debris Scare, Tuesday, 2-20-26.Quick Summary:The Space Show hosted a discussion on the orbital debris problem, focusing on the recent Shenzhou 20 debris scare and its implications for space safety. Araz Feyzi and Siamak Hesar from Kayhan Space explained the challenges of tracking and mitigating space debris, highlighting the need for better coordination between satellite operators and advancements in debris removal technology. They discussed Kayhan Space's role in providing space traffic coordination services and their recent collaboration with SpaceX's Stargaze system to enhance debris tracking capabilities. The conversation also touched on the potential risks of Kessler syndrome and the importance of responsible satellite behavior to prevent further debris generation.Detailed Summary:The meeting began with introductions and a discussion focusing on the Shenzhou debris scare in low Earth orbit but is not limited to that topic. Our guest Araz explained the orbital debris problem. We addressed the risks and concerns associated with space debris, particularly in the context of recent Chinese human spaceflight missions. The conversation also touched on the business of Kayhan Space and how it relates to addressing these space debris issues.Araz discussed the rapid growth in satellite launches over the past decade, highlighting the shift from large, expensive government satellites to smaller, affordable commercial ones. He explained the increasing threat of orbital debris, estimating over a million pieces larger than 1 centimeter in diameter, and described a recent incident involving a crack in a Chinese space station caused by debris. David asked about the risks to astronauts during spacewalks and the pressure implications of a cracked space station window, which Siamak addressed by explaining that while spacesuit damage is possible, the probability of collision is low due to the small target area, and the ISS team performs collision avoidance maneuvers when necessary.The discussion continued to focus on space debris and its potential risks to satellites and astronauts. Araz explained that while some debris can be tracked, there are objects too small to monitor, which pose a risk of causing damage if they strike a satellite or astronaut during a spacewalk. Siamak addressed David's question about the internal pressure of a spacecraft not causing an explosive depressurization if a window is cracked, noting that spacecraft windows are thick and undergo rigorous testing to prevent such incidents. Araz also described how a crack in a spacecraft window was repaired during a spacewalk after it was struck by an undetectable piece of debris, allowing the crew to safely return to Earth in a different capsule.The challenges and solutions for orbital debris in low Earth orbit (LEO), highlighting the recent growth of space activity and the need for coordinated efforts to mitigate debris were brought to our attention. Araz emphasized the importance of preventing new debris creation, particularly addressing large, uncontrolled pieces of debris that pose a significant threat if they collide. Siamak noted the recent scale of the problem and mentioned ongoing efforts by companies like Astroscale to develop technologies for debris removal. Both speakers agreed that preventing new debris and managing existing large debris are critical steps toward reducing the orbital debris threat.Challenges and opportunities related to removing space debris, with Siamak and Araz agreeing that technology exists to de-spin and capture large debris objects but is hampered by regulatory frameworks, were a major part of their talking points. Siamak highlighted the need for legal frameworks to allow commercial companies to address debris while preventing misuse of technology, and Marshall brought up the potential impact of gravitational forces from celestial bodies like Jupiter and asteroids on debris orbits. The conversation concluded with Siamak noting an encouraging trend among satellite operators, who are increasingly prioritizing spaceflight safety in their mission planning and proposals.The Wisdom Team discussed the Kessler syndrome, a scenario where debris in low Earth orbit could make space travel impossible. John Hunt explained that debris collisions depend on orbital paths, while Siamak recalled a significant collision between a Cosmos and Iridium satellite. Araz highlighted that while some operators like Starlink are taking precautions to avoid creating debris, irresponsible behavior by some companies still exists. The team agreed that while Kessler syndrome is a serious concern, responsible behavior by satellite operators could help prevent it.Siamak discussed the evolving nature of space debris and conjunctions, noting that while the number of potential collisions between debris and operational satellites remains high, the risk is mitigated by the increasing number of maneuverable satellites actively avoiding collisions. Araz highlighted the importance of coordination between satellite operators to prevent unintended risks, particularly when dealing with maneuverable satellites from different countries, and mentioned that some operators have established guidelines for responsible behavior in space. Both speakers emphasized the need for continued vigilance and collaboration to prevent Kessler syndrome and ensure space flight safety.The team also discussed space debris and tracking capabilities. Siamak explained that recent advancements in the Space Surveillance Network, including the Space Fence radar, allow for better detection of smaller debris down to 3 centimeters, though tracking remains challenging for low-density objects. They discussed methods for dealing with geostationary satellites at the end of their life, including raising their orbit to a “graveyard” orbit. Araz mentioned that telescopes and passive RF techniques are used to track debris in geostationary orbit, while John Jossy highlighted SpaceX's new Stargaze system, which significantly increases detection capability through star trackers.Our two guests announced a new space tracking capability using star trackers, which can monitor approximately 60-70% of objects that radars can track. Araz explained that this technology, developed through a government contract, allows for better space situational awareness by leveraging the numerous star trackers already in orbit, particularly on Starlink satellites. The company, Kayan Space, provides the SATCAT platform which integrates this data with government systems and other tracking sources to help satellite operators safely plan maneuvers, with the ability to automatically generate collision avoidance instructions.Kayhan Space's data aggregation platform SATCAT.com, which provides space flight safety services for commercial and government satellites was talked about. Siamak explained that the company is 7 years old and venture-backed, currently focusing on execution and R&D while still raising capital. Araz discussed their tracking capabilities and how multiple tracking systems can provide more accurate data when combined. Our guests said that the company is hiring engineers and marketing/business development staff and is working to coordinate global space traffic through shared intentions and maneuvers between operators.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Max talks with Bret Koebbe, Vice President of Sporty's Pilot Shop, about how Starlink internet access is entering general aviation cockpits and what that means for pilots today and in the future. For decades, cockpit connectivity was mostly reserved for the airlines. Systems like Gogo provided limited bandwidth, required expensive antennas, and were impractical for piston aircraft. GA pilots relied on ADS-B weather, portable receivers, or Iridium text messaging to stay connected. That landscape has shifted with the Starlink Mini, a portable satellite dish small enough to fit in a 182 or Cirrus, delivering broadband internet in flight. Benefits for Pilots Bret outlines the legitimate safety advantages. Pilots can text family or FBOs, update arrival times, and share real-time position updates. More importantly, Starlink could enable widespread filing of PIREPs directly from an iPad, improving weather data for all. Weather cameras, now integrated into ForeFlight, could become accessible in flight, offering pilots actual visual conditions instead of relying solely on METARs or AWOS reports. Risks and Distractions But Starlink also poses serious distraction risks. Bret shares a personal story: during a family trip, he streamed an NFL game mid-flight, only to realize within seconds how dangerously it diverted his attention. He immediately shut it off, but the experience was a powerful reminder of how alluring the technology is. Max underscores that the NTSB lists distractions as a top factor in loss-of-control accidents, and Starlink could easily become an “attractive nuisance” in cockpits. Cost and Service Plans Starlink Mini hardware is about $499, and the Local Priority plan runs $65/month for 50 GB, sufficient for most piston pilots. For corporate pilots and jets, the Global Priority plan at $250/month supports higher speeds and offshore operations. Bret explains the differences in speed limitations (350 mph for Local Priority vs 550 mph for Global Priority) and how to choose based on aircraft type and mission. Mounting and Power Solutions Because Starlink Mini lacks an internal battery, powering it is key. Bret recommends Sporty's Flight Gear Max Battery, capable of outputting 140 watts via USB-C, giving about three hours of Starlink runtime. For longer flights, higher-capacity solutions exist. Mounting options include suction cup mounts for rear windows (ideal in high-wing Cessnas and Cirrus aircraft) or side-window solutions in low-wing and corporate jets. Positioning is critical—blocking the dish with wings can cause dropouts. Practical Tips Bret offers pilot-tested tips: Create a custom iPad Focus Mode that blocks notifications except for critical texts when ForeFlight is open. Establish SOPs—use Starlink only in cruise and disconnect before descent. Enable Low Data Mode on devices to prevent iCloud or app background syncing from eating up gigabytes. Don't rely on Starlink radar or traffic feeds, which have even more latency than ADS-B. The Future of Connected Cockpits Looking ahead, Bret sees huge potential. Automatic turbulence reporting from onboard sensors could update in real time if aircraft have internet connections. Engine monitor data could be streamed to ground support for diagnostics, offering pilots in-flight decision support. Eventually, Starlink-enabled cockpits could complement FAA datalink systems like CPDLC, streamlining communication and safety services. Final Thoughts This milestone Episode 400 illustrates how cockpit technology continues to evolve rapidly. Affordable internet access brings new possibilities for safety, convenience, and passenger comfort, but it also requires disciplined use to prevent dangerous distractions. As Bret and Max agree, the future of aviation will be defined by how responsibly pilots integrate these new tools. Whether you fly a piston single, a turboprop, or a corporate jet, Starlink is likely to shape your cockpit experience in the coming years. This episode gives pilots the knowledge to make informed decisions as they consider adopting Starlink for their aircraft.
