Musk's SpaceX valuation claim tops Science & Space conversation on X

This will sound super crazy, but I see a path to SpaceX being worth orders of magnitude more than the current Earth economy

We’ve lost an icon. Margaret Hamilton, a computer science pioneer best known for her work at MIT leading development of the flight software for the Apollo missions to the moon, has died at 90. Read about her legacy via MIT News: https://t.co/ODkbdIsoHw https://t.co/M2xauYYUkU

A SHOCKING new study found taking just FOUR Tylenol tablets during pregnancy is linked to SEVERE reproductive damage in baby girls: 41% SMALLER ovaries 23% FEWER ovarian follicles 13% SMALLER uteruses More than 50% of pregnant women take Tylenol…. https://t.co/Fbhd44V4UH

It was an incredible honor to receive the National Medal of Science from @POTUS today. My parents came to America with big dreams and a deep belief in education and hard work. This country gave me the opportunity to pursue my passion for semiconductors and work with extraordinary people to push the boundaries of what is possible. I am so excited about what we can accomplish together as America continues to lead the world in science and technology.

Perseverance has set a new off-world record! 🏅 On Oct. 11, the rover's odometer hit 28.10 miles (45.22 kilometers), eclipsing the distance record set by NASA's Opportunity rover. 1/2 https://t.co/IThlI7dl2z

An astrophysicist worked with Claude Science to create the first complete ultraviolet map of the sky. Astronomers have already created complete sky maps from radio to gamma rays. But large regions of the sky have never been observed in UV. In today’s science blog, Brice Ménard explains how he guided Claude to find existing datasets, combine them, and fill in the gaps with statistical inference. The work would have taken humans weeks of work, but, with Claude, just took a few days while Ménard worked on other projects. The resulting map is a useful teaching tool and an example of exactly the sort of slow, low-priority work which scientists never quite get around to, but which AI now makes feasible.

There is a flower called prairie smoke (Geum triflorum). In spring it hangs its head in a soft pink bell. After it is pollinated, that flower lifts and the styles stretch into long, feathery plumes, the pink whiskers in this photo. Those plumes are the plant’s way of moving on. Each one stays attached to a seed, catches the wind, and carries it away from the parent. A whole patch of them looks like smoke drifting over the prairie, which is how the plant got its name.

About 200,000 light-years away, the star cluster NGC 290 glitters within the Small Magellanic Cloud – a small galaxy orbiting our Milky Way. NGC 290 stretches 65 light-years across. The stars in this cluster are loosely bound to one another by gravity: https://t.co/0bD3z6pebU https://t.co/2Rh7IoVytj
