Here, in all its glory, is the exclusive first look at the massive Tesla Semi factory. Our Core Memory crew went to Nevada to see the line come to life, as it gets ready to pump out thousands of all-electric trucks. We saw the new cab and went on a drive too. Wunderbar!

The most influential longevity and aging investor is someone you likely have not heard of - Alex Colville. Over the past decade, he's been dishing out millions to biotech starups, only doing so very quietly. There is no more confusing field than longevity and aging. Celebrities, gurus, scientists will say just about anything to get you hyped and buying stuff. Alex has long struck me as a different sort. He's been trying to find the real science that could affect lifespan. He reads the papers. He goes deep. He dodges a lot of the stuff others back. This is our two-hour chat with Alex where gets into the technology that he thinks is real. Thx, as always, to Brex and sendcutsend for making the Core Memory podcast possible. Get it on all major platforms and on our YouTube channel.

This might be the coolest real estate business in the world. Some dudes took over a ranch in Texas and built a telescope farm. They're managing hundreds and hundreds of scopes for other people and offering super dark skies and fiber internet so that folks can take amazing pictures of space. Behold Starfront Observatories.

Some dudes took over a ranch in Texas and are trying to turn it into a manufacturing mecca. We took our cameras and spent a couple of days there. I went upside down in a plane and did a study of Texan cults. It's glorious. Welcome to Proto-Town. Full episode here. If you haven't watched our shows yet, you should. No one does tech better.

.Vast is on a mission to replace the International Space Station, and we went to Long Beach, Calif. to check out its operations. The company is racing to get to space in 2027 with Haven-1, which will have room for four people. We saw its manufacturing operations, food labs, the whole Haven-1 design. It was an awesome trip! Full episode in the replies and on the Core Memory channel.

New Limit just raised $435 million. This is, in part, because they've had a massive breakthrough on reversing the age of the liver with their new brand of genetic reprogramming drugs. For the first time, NewLimit's co-founder and president Jacob Kimmel details the company's breakthrough here. We also get into the longevity and bio-tech fields more broadly to explain where aging science and AI are heading. If nothing else, come to see some mice get drunk. The Core Memory podcast is available wherever you pod, and I'll put the YouTube link down below in the replies. Our show is sponsored by Brex and SendCutSend. They are both wise and benevolent.
