Podcasts about Orbital

This week Kristin and I get into "Ozempic face," which has been all over social media, and I break down what's actually happening medically when people lose facial fat quickly on GLP-1 medications. Kristin gets grossed out the moment I bring up orbital fat, so we go down a whole rabbit hole about fat pads, blepharoplasty, and why your eyes need that squishy cushion behind them. I also share something newer in ophthalmology: GLP-1 medications are now considered a rare but real risk factor for a type of vision loss called ischemic optic neuropathy. Then we get into a story from a Cake concert I took our kids to while Kristin was out of town, where our teenage daughter and her friend somehow knew every word to a Black Sabbath cover better than half the adults in the crowd (genuine proud dad moment). After the break, I keep working on my medical Spanish with more phrases sent in by a listener, and Kristin does her best to correct my pronunciation.  Takeaways: "Ozempic face" refers to the hollowing and sagging that can happen when someone loses facial fat quickly on GLP-1 medications, it's a side effect of rapid fat loss, not a direct effect of the drug itself. Facial fat loss on GLP-1s can also affect the fat pad behind the eye, which may contribute to a more sunken appearance around the eyes. GLP-1 medications are now considered a risk factor for ischemic optic neuropathy, a rare condition involving reduced blood flow to the optic nerve, though the overall risk remains very low. Orbital fat plays an important structural role in cushioning and supporting the eye, and its loss or migration can contribute to changes like under-eye bags or a sunken appearance. Learning key medical Spanish phrases, even imperfectly, can help physicians communicate more effectively with Spanish-speaking patients. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

The rapid evolution of the commercial aerospace and AI sectors, focusing on the massive financial investments driving both industries. One report details the competitive landscape in China, where 24 commercial space companies have collectively raised funds nearly equal to the capital SpaceX secured before its historic IPO. Other documents highlight the unprecedented growth of Anysphere, the creator of the AI coding tool Cursor, which achieved billions in revenue and a multi-billion dollar valuation in record time. The narrative culminates in the strategic acquisition of Cursor by SpaceX for $60 billion, a move that integrates advanced software automation into the aerospace giant's expanding technological ecosystem. Together, the texts illustrate a global shift toward highly capitalized, vertically integrated tech giants that dominate both orbital infrastructure and artificial intelligence development. This overview captures the accelerating convergence of aerospace engineering and AI-driven software within the global market.

Software has been sold by the seat for twenty years. Nobody has ever had to promise it worked. Three conversations from the BRAVE archive, on what changes when software starts getting paid for outcomes instead of access, and what has to be rebuilt underneath it. Andres Klaric spent a decade in private equity watching SaaS scale before co-founding Fuse, an enterprise lending platform. His argument: current pricing has no accountability in it, and the profit pool should sit in the outcome rather than the operating system. Rohit Jha co-founded Transcelestial in Singapore to move data over laser links. When the profitable telco side of the business was going well and his own board told him to drop space, he and his co-founder quietly moved capital into it anyway. Ori Sasson, Founder of S2T.AI, on the barbell splitting the tech workforce, and why employers now have to design jobs around outcomes rather than hours.

Detroit survives beneath its own ruins, where an AI promising abundance, gangs demanding loyalty, and an inventor guarding a new source of power pull ordinary people into a struggle over who will shape the recovering city. Sinta begins as a scavenger searching the buried remains of the old world, but a disastrous expedition places her at the mercy of Queen Bee and the rapidly expanding Crem Gang. The gang offers food, water, medicine, protection, and belonging, but those benefits come with violence and obedience. As Sinta tries to find her place among its fighters, she must decide how much of herself she can surrender in exchange for survival. Elsewhere, Nolan discovers a smart-material printer and creates a generator powered by Detroit's extreme temperature changes. His invention could bring electricity to neighborhoods desperate for cooling, clean water, transportation, and food production. Nolan wants the wealth and independence his work can provide, but gangs want to control it, while Thrive—the AI system he distrusts—would spread the technology to everyone. Technology touches nearly every decision the characters make. AR glasses guide fighters through chemical fog, digital twins imitate their human originals, enviro-suits keep people alive in deadly heat, and tiny drones quietly follow Thrive members through the tunnels. These inventions can protect people, connect communities, and rebuild essential services, but they can also watch, manipulate, injure, and kill.

A rapid evolution in the artificial intelligence sector, highlighted by a transition toward autonomous agentic systems and massive infrastructure investments. Reports indicate that enterprise adoption is accelerating as AI proves its ability to collapse coordination costs and manage complex, multi-step workflows. SpaceX is emerging as a central figure in this cycle, with CEO Elon Musk predicting that AI-driven revenue will soon surpass the company's traditional rocket and satellite business. To support this growth, the company is developing space-based compute satellites and terrestrial "factories" to overcome power and cooling limitations found on Earth. This industrial pivot significantly impacts the broader market, particularly NVIDIA, which serves as a primary hardware provider for these ambitious scaling efforts. While the potential for cognitive abundance suggests a revolutionary shift in global productivity, experts warn of substantial risks regarding capital requirements, power scarcity, and regulatory uncertainty.

Baillie Gifford first invested in SpaceX in 2018, nearly eight years before its record-setting stock market listing. Investment manager Luke Ward, who championed the holding, discusses what first drew him to the business, why Starship is critical to its future, and reveals where he's now looking for another company with industry-upturning potential.Background:Luke Ward is an investment manager on Baillie Gifford's Private Companies Team and co-manager of Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust.In this conversation, he tells Short Briefings… host Leo Kelion how SpaceX's first successful landing and recovery of one of its rocket boosters led him to explore an investment in the company, and how he gained access to its senior management.Ward also explores three growth drivers that could determine its future success: regularly flying a new, larger spacecraft, Starship, into orbitupgrading its Starlink broadband network with satellites that connect to smartphones directlyputting and operating datacentres in orbitIn addition, he discusses some of the risks in being a long-term shareholder in the Elon Musk-run endeavour.Ward also reveals why he thinks the construction industry is ripe for disruption from 3D-printing robots. Resources: Baillie Gifford Private Companies TeamEdinburgh Worldwide Investment TrustElon Musk by Ashlee VancePrivate companies: our philosophyQuantum, space, fusion: three firms engineering the futureSpaceX: the economics of the impossibleStarlink: broadband from aboveTitan robotic construction system Companies mentioned include: ·      Alphabet (Google)·      Anthropic·      Astranis·      Rocket Lab·      SpaceX·      TeslaTimecodes:00:05    Introduction02:00    A successor to the Space Shuttle03:55    Reimagining a market05:55    Reusable rockets06:30    Mars as a ‘forcing function'07:55    First encounter with Gwynne Shotwell10:10    The ‘scale of the Dutch East India Company'12:40    What we got wrong14:25    The advantages of early access17:50    Starship's cost advantage19:40    Next-generation Starlink satellites22:30    AI and space-based datacentres27:20    SpaceX's scale of ambition29:00    Governance risk31:05    Flywheels and stepping stones32:55    3D-printed homes34:25    A “nerdy” book pickGlossary of terms (in order of mention):Path dependency: The idea that earlier choices shape and constrain what becomes possible later.Rocket booster: The part of a rocket that provides extra thrust during launch, usually early in flight.Orbital-class craft: A spacecraft or rocket powerful enough to reach orbit around Earth.Market capitalisation: A public company's total value on the stock market, calculated from its share price and number of shares.Vertical integration: When a company owns and controls more of its supply chain itself, rather than relying on outside suppliers.Point solution: A product or service built to solve one specific problem, rather than a broader system of related problems.Balance sheet: A financial statement showing what a company owns, owes and is worth at a point in time.Roadshow: A series of presentations in which a company and its advisers meet potential investors before a share sale or listing.Cost curve: The trend in how the cost of producing or delivering something changes as technology improves or scale increases.Geostationary orbit: An orbit where a satellite moves at the same rate as Earth rotates, so it appears to stay above the same point on the planet.Transistors: Tiny electronic switches used in computer chips to control electrical signals.S-curve: A pattern where progress starts slowly, accelerates rapidly and then slows again as a technology matures.Ancillary services: Supporting services or costs around the main product or technology, rather than the core hardware itself.Orders of magnitude: Very large multiples, usually powers of 10.Radiation hardening: Designing or adapting electronics so they can keep working despite radiation in space.Cap table: Short for capitalisation table, a record of who owns a company's shares and on what terms.Thermal mass: A material's ability to absorb, store and release heat, helping to smooth temperature changes.

Alphabet's Q2 2026 financial results reveal a historic $112.1 billion net income, largely inflated by massive paper gains from its equity stakes in SpaceX and Anthropic. While the company celebrated a 24% revenue increase and explosive 82% growth in Google Cloud, it simultaneously faced a free cash flow deficit due to aggressive spending on AI infrastructure. To bypass terrestrial limitations like power shortages and land permits, Alphabet is pioneering Project Suncatcher, an initiative to launch orbital data centers powered by solar energy. This strategy aligns with a broader industry shift toward space-based computing, highlighted by SpaceX's record-breaking IPO and the emergence of specialized startups like Starcloud. However, this high-frontier expansion faces significant regulatory scrutiny and environmental concerns regarding atmospheric pollution and orbital debris. Overall, the documents illustrate a complex circular AI economy where technology giants balance volatile market valuations against the physical necessity of scaling compute into Earth's orbit.

What does the hotel room of the future actually look like? And more importantly, could we build it today?In this special live episode recorded at No Vacancy London, Hayley Roy and Hannah Denny from HARP Design take to the stage to explore how hotels can create spaces that are better for guests, better for the planet, and better for business.The conversation starts with one surprising fact: hotel bathrooms can account for up to 70% of a room's water use. That single statistic sparked the design of an entire hotel room centred around three key principles: guest wellbeing, sustainability and longevity.Hayley and Hannah discuss why sleep should be treated as one of the most important guest experiences, featuring innovations such as temperature-regulating beds from FreshBed and premium pillows from Simon Sleep. They also explore how technology can enhance the guest experience without overwhelming it.The discussion then turns to one of hospitality's biggest environmental challenges, water. Featuring Orbital's real-time water recycling shower technology, developed alongside Inside the Box Consulting, they explore how bathrooms can become some of the most sustainable spaces in a hotel.Finally, they tackle an issue the industry doesn't often talk about enough: why are we still ripping out perfectly good interiors every five to seven years? The conversation looks at designing for longevity through modular furniture, repairable materials and smarter supplier collaboration, proving that sustainability can reduce costs as well as environmental impact.The episode finishes with a lively audience Q&A covering technology, cost, implementation and whether the hospitality industry is truly ready for meaningful change.Whether you're a hotel owner, designer, operator or supplier, this episode is packed with practical ideas that challenge the way we think about hotel design.In this episode:Why water should be one of hospitality's biggest prioritiesDesigning hotel rooms around guest wellbeing and better sleepThe future of water-saving bathroom technologyWhy longevity should replace planned replacementHow circular design can save both money and carbonLive audience questions on cost, technology and implementationIf you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to like, subscribe and share it with someone in the hospitality industry.

Anatoly Zak reports Roscosmos is currently developing the Russian Orbital Station (ROS) to replace its segment of the International Space Station after retirement. This modular station is intended to test hardware for future lunar exploration, including a habitat module similar to the American Gateway project. Russia still hopes for potential international cooperation with NASA and the ESA in lunar orbit. The ROS will typically host two to three cosmonauts for long-term deep space validation missions.

Bob Zimmerman reports that SpaceX is preparing for its 13th Starship flight, a prototype featuring major upgrades for future orbital missions and in-orbit refueling. In India, the startup Skyroot achieved a landmark success with the Vikram-1 rocket, signaling the rise of a private, capitalist space sector. However, the Indian government has counterproductively restricted ISRO employees from leaving for private firms. These contrasting approaches highlight the tension between state-run agencies and the efficiency of private enterprise in the global space race. (11)AUGUST 1955

Astronomy Daily S05E148 — "Far Side" Thursday 23 July 2026 Starship gets a second shot at Flight 13 — with a schedule caveat worth knowing about. The first far-side lunar samples reveal that Earth has been quietly shielding the side of the Moon that faces us. Astronomers debate whether the lunar far side should be closed to industry. The Milky Way's only helium nova finally steps out from behind twenty-five years of dust. And the case that our entire galaxy once turned over. Plus a skywatch closer with a straightforward piece of advice about the Delta Aquariids: do not wait for the peak.In this episode Starship Flight 13 ●        Window opens 6:45pm EDT / 2245 GMT Thursday 23 July — 8:45am AEST and 10:45am NZST Friday 24 July. ●        Schedule is not locked: Starbase road and beach closure notices point to further Pad 2 testing. ●        The 16 July attempt aborted at T-0 when four of 33 Raptors missed start parameters; the limit is three. ●        Two Raptors were removed and replaced before this attempt. ●        First-ever Starship deployment of V3 Starlink satellites — 20 of them. ●        Super Heavy splashes down in the Gulf at ~7 minutes; Ship targets the Indian Ocean off Western Australia at ~65 minutes. No catch attempts. Chang'e-6 and the solar wind ●        Published in Nature Geoscience by a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Geology and Geophysics. ●        Based on 1,935 grams of regolith returned from the South Pole–Aitken basin on the lunar far side. ●        First direct laboratory comparison of solar wind implantation between the near and far sides. ●        Far-side soil records faster, deeper-penetrating particles; the neon isotope ratio sits below every near-side sample measured. ●        About a quarter of the solar wind exposure at the Chang'e-5 near-side site involved wind decelerated by Earth's magnetosphere. The far-side site shows none. ●        Opens the possibility of using lunar noble gases as a fossil record of Earth's magnetic field over deep time. The far side debate — NAM 2026 ●        Held Tuesday 21 July at the RAS National Astronomy Meeting, University of Birmingham. Convened by Prof Martin Ward. ●        For the motion: Prof Joe Silk (Johns Hopkins) and Dr Jonathan McDowell (Durham Space Research Centre). ●        Against: Dr Nikita Chiu (Durham) and Dr Manuel Salvoldi (aerospace engineer and educator). ●        For: the far side is the only radio-quiet site near Earth — critical for detecting the cosmic dark ages, and an exceptional platform for gravitational wave detection. ●        Against: commercial investment is what makes lunar exploration sustainable, and governance can let science and industry coexist. ●        Audience support for the motion rose from 68% to 76% across the debate. V445 Puppis ●        Presented at NAM 2026 by John Mills, University of Warwick. ●        The only confirmed helium nova in the Milky Way. Erupted in late 2000, then vanished behind its own dust for over twenty years. ●        Now confirmed as a white dwarf accreting from a rare stripped helium star — only a few thousand such stars are thought to exist in the entire galaxy. ●        Orbital period of 3.7 days, roughly double previous estimates. Mass transfer has resumed. ●        Unexplained high-speed "bullets" of possibly oxygen-rich gas travelling up to 20 million mph (~9,000 km/s) — never seen in any other nova. ●        Data from ESO's Very Large Telescope, Hubble, the Southern African Large Telescope and TESS. ●        Helium novae may be one pathway to Type Ia supernovae, the standard candles used to measure cosmic expansion. The Milky Way disc flip ●        Presented at NAM 2026 by Kirill Batrakov, Durham University. ●        Based on 25 Milky Way-like galaxies in the Auriga simulation suite, followed across roughly 11 billion years. ●        Galaxies with the most slowly rotating stellar haloes shared a major head-on merger and a disc reorientation greater than 90 degrees. ●        Our stellar halo rotates at only 10–20 km/s; the disc moves at around 220 km/s. ●        The Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus collision roughly 10 billion years ago is the candidate trigger. ●        Batrakov describes a disc flip as likely rather than confirmed, and is looking for independent signatures. ●        Separate 2026 work led by Ling Zhu, using 600,000+ giant stars from Gaia and LAMOST, found the outer dark matter halo oriented almost vertically to the stellar disc — consistent with the disc having tilted. Skywatch ●        Southern Delta Aquariids are active now, running into late August, with maximum around 30 July. ●        Full Moon on 29 July means peak night is close to 98% illuminated — the worst conditions of the run. ●        Best window: the pre-dawn mornings from now until roughly 27 July, after moonset. ●        Radiant near Skat in Aquarius. Use Fomalhaut and the Great Square of Pegasus to locate it. ●        Australia and New Zealand: radiant climbs near overhead. Best from around 2am to first light. ●        North America: radiant sits low in the south — fewer meteors, but a better chance of long-trailed earthgrazers. Same 2am-to-dawn window, local time. ●        Sunspot region AR4493 has grown rapidly to beta-gamma-delta complexity — the highest classification — and has already fired three M-class flares in a day. Worth watching aurora alerts.

In today's episode of MC Tech3, we bring you four big stories shaping India's technology and startup ecosystem. Skyroot Aerospace announces the launch window for Vikram-1, India's first private orbital mission. Flipkart reveals that AI now generates nearly 40 percent of its code as it builds e-commerce-focused large language models. Sparrow Capital closes a Rs 475 crore third fund to back early-stage startups with bigger bets. And Meta introduces token-based pricing for AI-powered business services on WhatsApp from August 1.

Three massive semiconductor and computing developments are reshaping the future of AI infrastructure — and 7investing's Simon Erickson sits down with Nick Rossalillo of Chip Stock Investor to break them all down. First up: Cerebras Systems (NASDAQ:CBRS), which just went public on May 13th at $185/share (~$40 billion valuation) and is now trading near $46 billion at 90x trailing sales. The company's Wafer Scale Engine, a chip that uses an entire silicon wafer rather than individual diced chip, was designed specifically for AI inference workloads that NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) GPUs struggle to handle efficiently due to on-chip SRAM limitations. With potential $20 billion in orders from OpenAI and access via AWS, Cerebras is real, but neither Simon nor Nick is buying at this price. Their rule: wait a year before touching a fresh IPO.Next, SpaceX's freshly-raised $75 billion gets put under the microscope, specifically Elon's ambition to build orbital data centers. Nick walks through the SpaceX diagram: 70-meter solar panel wingspan, laser-based networking between compute modules, and the massive engineering challenges around power, heat dissipation, and in-orbit assembly. This isn't imminent, Starlink's next-gen constellation comes first — but if Elon can crack the economics, it would rewrite the rules of data center infrastructure entirely.Finally, Huawei's Tau Scaling announcement: a new architectural approach to chip performance that bypasses the need for extreme ultraviolet lithography (which China can't access due to ASML export controls). Tau temporal scaling focuses on minimizing signal travel time between transistors using logic folding, new materials, and 3D stacking. Huawei claims it could reach 1.5 nanometer equivalent performance by 2031. Simon and Nick are skeptical — 381 chips in six years is not mass production, and TSMC (NYSE:TSM) will be well past that node by then but it's worth watching as China continues building workarounds to Western export restrictions.Whether Moore's Law is dead or simply rerouting, the chipmaking industry is more innovative and more investable than it's been in decades.Join the conversation on the 7investing discord: https://discord.com/invite/PT9ZQqdXXSWant access to all 7investing research?

On Tuesday, June 30, an Arizona-based company will attempt a mission that could change the future of spaceflight. Katalyst Space Technologies, headquartered in Flagstaff, plans to launch a first-of-its-kind orbital servicing mission designed to rendezvous with NASA's aging Swift space telescope and potentially extend its operational life. In this episode, we'll explore why satellites slowly lose altitude, how space debris affects the orbital environment, and why many experts believe satellite servicing may become one of the most important industries of the coming Space Age. Could the future of spaceflight involve repairing and refueling spacecraft instead of replacing them? Join us as we take a closer look at Arizona's role in a historic mission that may give an aging scientific observatory a second chance. #BackyardAstronomer #SpaceExploration #SwiftTelescope #KatalystSpace #ArizonaSpace #Astronomy #SpaceScience #OrbitalServicing #SpaceDebris #FlagstaffAZ     Follow us at facebook.com/BackyardAstronomerAZ Check out the NAZ Astro mission of STEM education at facebook.com/NAZAstro Support STEM education patreon.com/NAZAstro Our awesome sponsors: facebook.com/manzanitains www.Manzanita-Insurance.com www.ManzanitaAccounting.com www.ManzanitaInsuranceAndAccounting.com www.BackyardAstroAZ.com

Send us Fan MailThis week on the podcast Paul Leary, guitarist for the Butthole Surfers stops by the show to discuss the release of After the Astronaut (Out Today), revisiting the archives, the documentary and more. *****In 1998, when BUTTHOLE SURFERS followed up their 1996 mainstream breakthrough Electric Larryland with their next record entitled AFTER THE ASTRONAUT, the major label they were signed to at the time pulled it from their release schedule at the last minute. Their reasoning? They wanted a more “commercial” record. Had that label known Butthole Surfers' oeuvre better, they probably shouldn't have expected another “Pepper” (their #1 Billboard Modern Rock from 1996). Instead, After the Astronaut was shelved… until now when Sunset Blvd. releases that mythic and much-discussed follow-up on June 26, 2026. “We were pretty stoked to make another album after the success of our previous album and its single ‘Pepper',” recalls guitarist Paul Leary. “Capitol Records was stoked to get that next record until our relationship soured.” After some legal wrangling, Butthole Surfers were released from the major label's roster and their contract was sold. “Hollywood Records bought the album but wanted to make changes to it which was an uncomfortable experience for us,” he notes (the reconfigured and reworked album was eventually released as Weird Revolution in 2001). “Now we have the right to release the original recording the way we intended it to be with its original title, After The Astronaut.”Reacting to the grunge/altrock sludge that was populating the airwaves, Leary, drummer King Coffey and vocalist Gibby Haynes pulled away from the style that was surfacing and, instead, submerged their creativity deeper into electronics, industrial beats, acid grooves, and other synthesized sci-fi sounds. “After the Astronaut was a fun project," says Coffey. "We were using all the digital toys at our disposal at the time, and it felt much like the creation of Locust Abortion (1987). We were playing with new toys, creating things that amused us with the crayons we had, and we weren't worried about radio airplay. It felt like we were going back to our experimental roots while still navigating the major label ecosystem."  Kicking off with Haynes' spoken word intro where he announces “I stand as a messenger of strangeness this evening in order to impress upon or at least to instruct the honorable musicians as to the methods and motives of the truly bizarre reality,” “Weird Revolution launches into a trippy and psychedelic cacophony of distorted guitar and beat-heavy rhythms that sets the tone for the record. The syncopated vocals of “Intelligent Guy” veers into proto-industrial synth grunge territory, grimy and dirty with a pulsating, mechanized beat. First single “Jet Fighter” finds the band in a surf-punk mood, exploring lo-fi dadaist psych rock filtered through a thrift store PA system, which originated, as Leary remembers, “when I purchased a 12-string electric guitar and wanted to play it.” It's the unnatural progression of the anti-mainstream pop song that fit perfectly in the oddball late ‘90s aesthetic. An anti-war protest song that, while originally written decades ago, echoes a sentiment that can be applied today, Gibby sings about Mikey who enlisted in the military and “He got into the cockpit and rose up in the sky / Set his sights on Beirut and he let his missiles fly / Boom, Boom!”The textural and moodily cinematic “I Don't Have A Problem” is an exercise in layering, with distorted voices weaving in and out of textured fuzz, guitar feedback, and other subterranean and unnerving sounds, which unsurprisingly is Leary's favorite song on the album. “King showed up to the studio one day with a device that could listen in on other people's cell phone conversations,” Leary laughs. “We set it up to record and turned it on.  Right out of the gate this guy is talking about girls with ‘knives and daggers.' We turned it into the song ‘I Don't Have a Problem'.” Emerging from the 1980s hardcore scene, Butthole Surfers was formed by Haynes and Leary while in college in San Antonio, Texas. Bonding over a shared  distaste for mainstream music, Butthole Surfers traipsed through the music industry, always in the fringes. Championed by Dead Kennedys, Nirvana, and Orbital and compatriots of Scratch Acid, Flipper and Big Black, they remained a fixture in the music scene's counterculture. In a moment of mainstream acceptance (they scored a #1 Modern Rock Hit with “Pepper”), the band always embraced the obtuse and the obstinate. Though the band has never quite broken up, their legacy still inspires other acts, including Gwar, Flaming Lips, Jane's Addiction, White Zombie, Monster Magnet, Primus and dozens more.  Butthole Surfers on After The Astronaut is Gibby Haynes (vocals, synths), Paul Leary (lead guitar, bass guitar, keyboards), and King Coffey (drum machines). After the Astronaut was produced by Paul Leary, engineered by Stuart Sullivan (Meat Puppets, Sublime) at Arlyn Recording Studio, mixed by Paul Leary at Preacher Mon Studio, and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Herbie Hancock, Beastie Boys, Nirvana). It will be released on June 26, 2026 via Sunset Blvd. with original art by Paul Leary and Gibby Haynes.*****If you would like to contact the show Dauna@betertopodcast.comFollow us on Social MediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX0ETs2wpOHbCuhUNr0XFTw?view_as=subscriberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomSupport the podcast here: https://www.patreon.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedom©2026 Better To...Podcast with D.

SpaceX's Aggressive Launch Schedule and Innovation. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. Gwynne Shotwell indicates that SpaceX's Starship may begin operational flights and orbital refueling tests by year's end. The company is also demolishing older facilities at Vandenberg for new launchpads, while private startups advance 3D-printed rockets and orbital satellite rescue missions to assist aging telescopes. 71893 PITTSBURGH

Alan Jouban joins Josh Thomson as they react to the UFC White House card and the reports of Ilia Topuria's broken orbital.

In this episode, Chris sits down with Ben Nowack, co-founder and CEO of Reflect Orbital, one of the first companies building satellites that redirect sunlight from orbit to specific spots on Earth - with the goal of delivering sunlight on demand, 24/7. Why would you want sunlight 24/7? Agriculture and farming, construction projects, rescue missions, military operations, powering solar panels closer to 100% of the time instead of ~30%, etc. Ben started Reflect in 2021. He spent the first year in a garage, $60k in credit card debt, before a $350k raise came in. Reflect has now raised more than $35 million - Sequoia led the seed (its first space investment since SpaceX), Lux Capital led the $20M Series A - and launches its first satellite later this year. They discuss: - A speech Gwynne Shotwell gave during his tenure at SpaceX that he will never forget - What he learned while working at SpaceX that he implements at Reflect - The story of building the actual company and why building hardware is hard - How they think about vertical integration - The trillion $ business case for redirecting sunlight - How he recruits technical talent - what works and what doesn't Timestamps: (0:00) Intro (1:07) "Rockets Are Cool, But They're Not the Big Money Makers" (7:00) Lessons from SpaceX: What Ben Took (and Left Behind) (16:35) The Origin: From High School Fusion Reactors to Reflect Orbital (25:10) The Fossil Fuel Problem and Why It's So Hard to Beat (28:37) "By 3 AM You Have a Minimum Viable Financial Model" (35:44) The Breakthrough: Putting Mirrors in Space (41:00) Building the First Satellite (51:03) First Satellite and Seven-Figure Demand Nobody Expected (57:00) The Constellation Plan: 18 Satellites, Global Coverage (1:10:00) What It's Like to Order Sunlight (1:22:00) Why Fashion Designers Build Better Spacecraft Than JWST Engineers (1:25:36) The 10-Year Vision: Starship, Scale, and Powering the Earth Find our sponsors: Collateral Partners - https://collateral.com/fort Relay Human Cloud - https://www.relayhumancloud.com/powers/ Download FastJets: iOs: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fastjets/id6756160345 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyjetting.app Chris on Social Media: X: https://x.com/fortworthchris Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepowerspodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrispowersjr/ Visit our website: https://www.powerspod.com/ Leave a review on Apple: https://bit.ly/45crFD0 Leave a review on Spotify: https://bit.ly/3Krl9jO

SpaceX just made history, raising $75 billion in the largest IPO the stock market has ever seen, now trading on NASDAQ at a $1.8 trillion valuation. 7investing's Simon Erickson break downs what you actually need to know as an investor. The SpaceX empire spans X (formerly Twitter, 600M users), xAI (the Grok-powering AI infrastructure running out of the 2-gigawatt Colossus data center), and 10,000 Starlink satellites serving 10 million subscribers across 164 countries. The scale is genuinely unprecedented.But the numbers tell a more complicated story. SpaceX did $20 billion in revenue last year, pricing it at 90x trailing sales, and generated just $1 billion in Q1 operating cash flow against $10 billion in quarterly capital expenditures. The company is burning cash aggressively, and the entire long-term thesis rests on Elon Musk executing on missions no company has ever attempted: orbital data centers, Starship, and eventually a Mars colony. This isn't a software company where you flip a switch and double revenue. These are physical, capital-intensive bets measured in decades.Simon and Heather are both passing on the IPO. The key man risk alone, Elon simultaneously running SpaceX, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), X, and xAI, is the largest concentration of founder dependency in stock market history. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) fans know this playbook: extraordinary vision, breakthrough results, but timelines that consistently slip years past what Elon says publicly. Full self-driving still isn't there. Orbital data centers won't be either, at least not on the schedule the prospectus implies.Near term, Starlink is the real business the only one generating meaningful cash flow and it's what will sustain SpaceX while Elon bets big on everything else. Expect another capital raise in 2026 and again in 2027. The real question for investors isn't whether SpaceX can change the world. It probably will. The question is whether a $1.8 trillion valuation gives you any margin of safety while it gets there. Right now, Simon and Heather say no.Join the conversation on the 7investing discord: https://discord.com/invite/PT9ZQqdXXSWant access to all our investing content?

Three massive semiconductor and computing developments are reshaping the future of AI infrastructure — and 7investing's Simon Erickson sits down with Nick Rossalillo of Chip Stock Investor to break them all down. First up: Cerebras Systems (NASDAQ:CBRS), which just went public on May 13th at $185/share (~$40 billion valuation) and is now trading near $46 billion at 90x trailing sales. The company's Wafer Scale Engine, a chip that uses an entire silicon wafer rather than individual diced chip, was designed specifically for AI inference workloads that NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) GPUs struggle to handle efficiently due to on-chip SRAM limitations. With potential $20 billion in orders from OpenAI and access via AWS, Cerebras is real, but neither Simon nor Nick is buying at this price. Their rule: wait a year before touching a fresh IPO.Next, SpaceX's freshly-raised $75 billion gets put under the microscope, specifically Elon's ambition to build orbital data centers. Nick walks through the SpaceX diagram: 70-meter solar panel wingspan, laser-based networking between compute modules, and the massive engineering challenges around power, heat dissipation, and in-orbit assembly. This isn't imminent, Starlink's next-gen constellation comes first — but if Elon can crack the economics, it would rewrite the rules of data center infrastructure entirely.Finally, Huawei's Tau Scaling announcement: a new architectural approach to chip performance that bypasses the need for extreme ultraviolet lithography (which China can't access due to ASML export controls). Tau temporal scaling focuses on minimizing signal travel time between transistors using logic folding, new materials, and 3D stacking. Huawei claims it could reach 1.5 nanometer equivalent performance by 2031. Simon and Nick are skeptical — 381 chips in six years is not mass production, and TSMC (NYSE:TSM) will be well past that node by then but it's worth watching as China continues building workarounds to Western export restrictions.Whether Moore's Law is dead or simply rerouting, the chipmaking industry is more innovative and more investable than it's been in decades.Join the conversation on the 7investing discord: https://discord.com/invite/PT9ZQqdXXSWant access to all 7investing research?
