  LOL. Bezos lost 7 rocket engines, Musk lost 6 rocket engines. 7 > 6. Win goes to Musk.

  BO with 1 orbital launch, SpaceX with 330+.
  Routing for BO as well though, competition makes all better. Bravo to both teams/companies, great stuff.

The word for Blue Origin is Finally. BO was founded slightly before Spacex and indeed landed their New Shepard booster before Spacex landed any of theirs. However since then .. Cograts to BO but that has to be tempered.

  Space X’s Falcon 1 reach to the orbit in 2008. Falcon 9 landed booster in 2015. Booster landing on droneship is nothing strange for SpaceX. They launched 133 falcon series rockets in 2024 alone. Over 100 successful booster landed in 2024.

Definitely feels like the space version of Apple vs. Microsoft.

That said, I’m not quite sure which is Apple and which is Microsoft.

We’re living through oil wars, wildfire smoke and extreme weather driven by a warming planet. But environmentalist Bill McKibben says one thing is finally going right: the price of clean energy has plunged, making it cheaper than ever to power the world without burning fossil fuels. He breaks down how energy from the sun became the best option on Earth — and why this narrow window of time may be our last real shot at a different future. “Energy from heaven, not from hell,” he says.

How Doodling Unlocks Your Imagination | Joe Whale | TED

Published

August 30, 2026

CYBER TECH TV

Artist Joe Whale used to get in trouble for doodling in class, until a local restaurant let him cover an entire wall with his artwork … and the internet took notice. He traces his unlikely beginning to a bigger story: your imagination is a muscle, and it weakens when you hand it off to AI. Through a live doodling demo, he shows in real time what it looks like to let a thought become a drawing, one line at a time. (Recorded at Play@TED on May 14, 2026)
