SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell and her husband have announced that they are donating ~$325 million of SpaceX stock to Trump Accounts for more than two million children across the U.S.
Every one of those kids will now have a direct stake in a company whose mission is the most ambitious in human history: to make life multi-plantary 🚀
My husband and I are honored and thrilled to participate in the Invest America program and gift a share of our SpaceX stock to a Trump Account for each of more than two million children across our great nation.
Every American child under 18 can benefit from having a Trump Account, but our gift specifically goes to the Accounts of children (ages 11-17) that live in areas with lower average household incomes with a bit more emphasis for those that live near our central Texas home.
We have been fortunate in our careers and hope this gift encourages the next generation to continue the journey of enabling humanity to live and fly amongst the stars.
A huge thanks to all that worked to bring this incredible program to life.

An octopus may be the closest thing we have on Earth to an alien life form. 🐙
Octopuses just passed a remarkable cognitive test: they can use mirrors to locate hidden prey, the first time this ability has been shown in any invertebrate.
In a new study, California two-spot octopuses (Octopus bimaculoides, sometimes called a 'bimac') were trained to understand mirror reflections. When shown a virtual crab in a mirror (with the real stimulus hidden behind them), the octopuses didn’t attack the reflection. Instead, they turned 180 degrees or climbed over barriers to reach the actual location — succeeding about 73% of the time.
Researchers used a projected virtual crab to eliminate chemical cues, forcing the animals to rely purely on visual-spatial reasoning. The octopuses also got faster at solving the task over time, suggesting they built an internal spatial map in their memory.
Not bad for creatures related more closely to clams than to vertebrates.

It is a blessing to see one of these Texas Blue Indigos at the house. Venomous snakes be warned. I’ll give it a 3/10 for the palm dismount.
I’d give Sawyer Merritt a follow if you haven’t already, he is always sharing quality content on X. 🍻

Every Saturday morning I have breakfast with a bunch of old farmers.
Discussion today was population decline and replacement rate in the US.
They've come up with a very simple yet elegant solution to increase birth rates.

@NASAWebb and @ChandraXray joined forces to deliver this view of the Cat's Paw Nebula. Different wavelengths combine to reveal young stars at the center of these dusty clouds.

ICON has unveiled a next-gen construction 3D printer that replaces older gantry systems.
Moving on tracks between sites, it cuts setup time and labor.
With a 70-ft print radius, it can build multi-story structures up to 27 ft tall and 110 ft long faster and cheaper.
