@lrocket Niche play. I've run the numbers: a south-facing garage roof with the same cell area offsets more daily miles than that curved glass ever will. Stop overcomplicating simple physics.

Tom Mueller Tom Mueller says he left SpaceX to start Impulse Space because after developing the Merlin engine and working on Starship for 6 years, he realized launch was essentially solved: "When I left, I had the plan of launch mostly being solved or is being solved. The next big opportunity is to move all that payload, all that cargo around in space." "So I started Impulse Space to do in-space transportation as opposed to from Earth to space transportation, which was SpaceX." Elon Musk

In a recent interview Zendaya opened up about cheating on tom holland in the early stages of their relationship in 2022. “I love my tom holland more than words can say,”. “Tom didn’t give up on me even when I didn’t deserve it.” Early in our dating days, I cheated on him. The distance and fame got to me, and I made a painful mistake. I sat him down and told him everything, expecting him to leave. Instead, tom listened, processed the hurt, and chose forgiveness. “He overlooked my betrayal, set real boundaries, and still accepted me,” Zendaya shared. “He fought for us when it would’ve been easier to walk away. That kind of love changed everything.I’m so grateful he saw the real me and stayed.”

CEO & CTO of Impulse Space Tom Mueller Tom Mueller says the "future of propulsion is nuclear electrics": "Nuclear electric propulsion is going to be important for going out to the outer planets." "If you're staying near Earth or even between Earth and Mars, probably solar electric is going to outperform it on cost and performance because solar is now getting very light in space." "Especially if Elon Musk starts doing these data servers in space—they're going to really optimize the solar panels to be really light." "I think it's pretty far in the future, maybe a few decades away before we're really doing big nuclear stages." "But that is the next step."

James Cameron had already seen more than 20 actors for the role of Gib in movie True Lies. Tom Arnold’s agent got him a meeting, but Tom expected nothing and barely prepared. Cameron had him read, then brought Schwarzenegger in. The chemistry was immediate. Cameron decided Tom was perfect. Fox hated the idea. Tom was in the middle of a very public divorce from Roseanne Barr and the studio saw him as a risk. When Cameron announced the casting they said it was terrible. Cameron said he didn’t read the tabloids, he wrote the character, and Tom was his choice. When they still refused, he threatened to take the movie to another studio. Fox backed down. Tom got the role.

Wow. I just saw an episode from The Journey featuring Steven Izzo from Michigan State and it was powerful. He is a 5th year walk on and son of coach Tom Izzo. In this clip, he scored his first official basket of his career. Tom had this to say: “He came over and gave me a hug and I told him I loved him. I looked around and I said my kid just made 15,000 people…happy. If I died that day, I’d been ok.”

And I quit dancing. So, I dance if I'm in a club, but I don't really go to dance classes anymore, so my biggest regret is giving up dancing. Q: Can you do, like, club-style dancing, or do you do kind of ballet? Tom Holland: I just do bar work. (Laughter) Tom Holland: Yeah. No, no, I mean I can dance, yeah. I like tap dancing. Tap dancing is my favorite type of dancing. Q: In the club? Tom Holland: Not in ,you wouldn't be able to hear it, would you? That'd be a nightmare.

"People are predicting we'll run out of copper in the next few years. Data centers require so much copper." "We need to start getting copper from the Moon or from the asteroids. There's an almost infinite supply in our solar system of material—enough to supply us for thousands of years." "We just gotta get ready to go get it."

I've never heard so much sh*t people say that what I say affects Tom in a fight. I say lot’s of things to lot’s of people... It's just because of the money. If your son was a fighter, would you want your son to fight for a ton of money or not a ton of money? It's a no-brainer." 🎥 Tom Aspinall

Tom is a tested public servant who has shown real courage. And at a time when courage is the scarcest resource in all of Congress, we need leaders like Tom stepping up for us.

Voter: I asked Tom Steyer the exact same question I'd asked Xavier Becerra two weeks ago. I said to both of them, "You've come to the fastest-warming county in the lower 48, a place that's been hit by wildfires—do you have a climate plan?" For asking that question, I was thrown out of Xavier Becerra's town hall. I was escorted out, and my friends who were with me were roughed up. Here, Tom not only appreciated the question, he gave a substantive, well-thought-out answer. It was night and day. So I'm excited, and I'm going to be voting for Tom in June.

According to Eric Romo, employee 001 (at least officially in the payroll system) was Tom Mueller: "[Elon] found Tom, and I think that was really the impetus for saying, 'Okay, I actually think I can make a company around this.'" " The engines are the thing that fail. They're the thing that's the hardest to build. They're the thing that is always the critical path in the schedule." "Without Tom, I don't think that company goes in the first days."
