The Boring Company’s Prufrock is a full-on underground factory.....It's the most underrated tech in the world right now It digs tunnels continuously while simultaneously installing tunnel walls, using multi-mile long continuous conveyor belts to remove dirt. (Traditional machines dig, stop, install walls, repeat. Prufrock never stops) It’s designed to “porpoise” directly into the earth and back out again like a beast....no massive, expensive launch pits or cranes required. It even operates entirely remotely with zero people in the tunnel The target is >1 mile per week. That’s 6x faster than their previous generation machine, and they are driving costs down to under $8M per mile While the world is still stuck in traffic, The Boring Company is quietly building the infrastructure to go under it at a speed and cost that finally makes underground networks economically viable with 3d roads in a 3d city world

The Israel Defense Force has announced the completion of a series of strikes against the Iranian surface-to-surface missile array in Western Iran. In the last few hours, Israeli Air Force fighter jets, guided by precise intelligence from the Intelligence Directorate, completed a series of strikes against Iran’s ballistic and cruise missile capabilities, targeting and destroying dozens of launchers, surface-to-surface missile storage facilities, and additional military sites, including a specific site in Western Iran where a unique launch mechanism for surface-to-surface missiles was embedded within shipping containers, for covert use by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Japanese startup GITAI has developed a lunar robotic rover called R1 for exploration, mining, and maintenance work on the Moon. The rover successfully completed testing at JAXA’s Mock Lunar Surface Environment. R1 features dual robotic arms and demonstrated driving, obstacle clearance, and solar panel assembly during the tests, which were conducted in 2021.

Big tunneling milestone! For the first time, TBC has continuously mined in a Zero-People-in-Tunnel (ZPIT) configuration. There is nobody in the machine (besides the videographer), which is simultaneously advancing forward and erecting a ring (i.e. building the tunnel). Each full ring weighs ~24,000 pounds. In the same way that full and rapid reusability is the holy grail for rockets, ZPIT continuous mining is the holy grail for Boring Machines. This is the safest, fastest, and least expensive architecture to build tunnels.
