Artemis ii 

Last moon landing. Before I was born.  The last crewed moon landing was Apollo 17, which touched down on the Moon on December 11, 1972.

10 day mission!! 

When the Orion spacecraft swings behind the far side of the Moon, the Moon itself will physically block all radio signals between the crew and Earth.

  • Duration: Approximately 41 minutes (reports range from about 40–50 minutes, depending on the exact trajectory).
  • What happens: No voice communication, no telemetry data, no video — complete loss of contact with Mission Control in Houston.
  • When: This occurs around day 6 of the mission (roughly April 6–7, 2026), during the closest lunar flyby.
  • Why it's normal: Radio waves travel in straight lines and can't go through the solid Moon. This same thing happened during the Apollo missions when crews went behind the Moon.

Passwords and ID protection: 

Etrade

  • Options are expiring. Changed so many passwords. 
  • USE 2-factor authentication at least on “money” accounts.
  • Require it for wires! 

Kroll ID Protection

  • So some undisclosed healthcare provider from who know when was hacked. Current, former? You think they actually purge the data?

Why don’t you Tell us about the Attack. Well you didn’t tell us about Pearl Harbor!!

Play.  Caddie and pro golfer conversations are interesting. Akshay Batia.

  • 132-135 yd “chip”. 9 iron. Wedge was too much work. Called it a “chip”. 
  • Most important. No warm up swings!! So overrated! 
  • Followed Justin Thomas at Pebble. Same thing.

Markets: 

  • Healthy Correction. Remember: S&P500 6% off, was 9%.

Netflix for my beloved: down 26%. PE is still 40!!!!!!

AI

SpaceX & Tesla 

I just bought a new Model Y. $53,000

A lot of catalysts coming!! 

CyberCab

  • Manufacturing begins in April 2026 (finally!!)
  • Will it have a Steering wheel?

Model Y

  • THEY MAKE YOU DRIVE IT.
  • Pulling the trigger. Still best selling car in world. Car looks great. 
  • The "best-selling car in the world" title for Model Y (2023–2025 per Tesla) is widely reported but occasionally debated due to close margins with the Toyota RAV4 and varying data sources.
  • Premium All-Wheel: $48,990. FSD: $99/ mo. 19” tires for cushion and ability to put better all-terrain tires.

CyberTruck

Tried to order a Dual-Motor all-wheel drive for $69,990. Est delivery is 2027!!! 

Tesla Semi

Tesla Semi 

  • Factory ready. 
  • Is a sleeper that is going to disrupt the trucking industry. From WSJ. 

Jay Leno YouTube Video

  • Trag coefficient needs to be as low was possible. Driver in middle helps with that. 
    • Lower than a Bugatti
    • Traditional truck requires side driver because engine is front-center and transmission runs thru the middle. 
  • Jay Leno pulling 60-70k load. 
  • In commercial trucking only one metric matters: Cost per Mile. 
    • This includes trucker not getting tired and being safe, because its on FSD. 
  • 500 mile range. 60% charge in 30 min. So can stop to charge during 30 minute break and recover 300 miles. 

TeraFab Project

Tera implies a Terawatt of compute manufacture each year. 

Terawatt ($10^{12}$ Watts) is one trillion watts.

  • Context: The entire United States power grid has a peak capacity of roughly 1.2 Terawatts.
  • Comparison: If Elon Musk were to run a single data center at 1 Terawatt, it would require nearly the entire electricity output of the United States to keep the lights on.
  • The Energy Problem: In space, solar panels are roughly 8x more efficient. There are no clouds, no atmosphere, and in certain orbits, no night. You get pure, 24/7 high-intensity radiation.
  • The Heat Problem: Data centers on Earth are "water-hungry" because they use massive amounts of liquid to cool the chips. In space, you don't need water; you just radiate the heat out into the absolute zero of the vacuum.
  • The Land Problem: Building a 1TW data center on Earth would require a land area the size of a small country. In orbit, space is (literally) infinite.

3 company venture: Tesla, XAi, SpaceX

10 million tons of equipment to orbit/ year. 

Global chip supply. 

  • Current global output is 20 megawatts or 2% of what’s needed. 
  • Will make lithography mask. Memory and Logic chips and packaging under one roof. 
  • 4 outputs> Lith Mask, Memory, Logic, & Packaging. 

2 chips: 

1 - optimized for edge inference. Expects Optimus to be 10-100x the output of humanoids. 

2 - High-powered chip designed for space. Can run hotter. 

Space is always sunny. 

2-3 years until AI chips in space beat earth chips by cost. Why: 

  • Energy consistent. Always sunny. 
  • Cold
  • Less material needed because less glass and protection needed. 
  • Also, non physical space constraint. I.e. you don’t run out of land.
