      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 real winner is us general folk. What a time to be witnessing boosters being caught in the air ????

      @@chrmats4 not 330+, but 430+. They launched 133 Falcon series in 2024 alone with over 100 boosters landing.

    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.

Flock Safety sits at the intersection of an increasingly intense debate around the spread of surviellance technology, AI, and who’s using all of that information and to what ends. Founder and CEO Garrett Langley spoke at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 to defend his stance that Flock is a net positive in the face of concerns about its work monitoring communities, cities, and enabling data sharing across law enforcement agencies.

As a sign of that backlash, as Langley spoke on stage, a protest against Flock was taking place outside of Moscone West in San Francisco.

TechCrunch’s Equity podcast team took over the Builders Stage Tuesday morning to tackle a growing challenge for the AI industry: What happens when AI agents go off-script, and who’s responsible for keeping them in check?

Recent incidents, from Anthropic pulling internal evaluations off the live internet after agents misbehaved to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella calling for an “emergency brake” on AI models, have brought agent security into focus. The Equity team unpacked whether the problem calls for better engineering, new regulation, or both, and why startups are raising millions to secure AI agents.
