Raptor 3 removed the heat shield. It cools itself now. Full regenerative cooling means the fuel itself keeps the engine alive. Fewer parts. Fewer failure points. Faster to build. Starship V3/V4 stacks 33 of these beasts. That's 10,000+ tons of thrust pointed at Mars. Elon called it "by far... show more

This video shows a static fire test of the Archimedes rocket engine, developed by Rocket Lab. Archimedes uses liquid methane (LCH.) as fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer, a combination known as methalox. During combustion, these cryogenic propellants produce extremely high temperatures (over 3,000°C), hotter than lava. To survive this, the engine circulates cold fuel through its walls before burning it, a technique called regenerative cooling. Multiple Archimedes engines will power Rocket Lab's upcoming Neutron rocket, which is being built to launch satellites and cargo to orbit with lower cost and higher reliability. Rocket Lab is best known for its Electron rocket and is now expanding into larger, reusable launch vehicles with Neutron.

Raptor 3 got better by becoming less complicated. Rocket engineering gets interesting when the upgrade is deleting a lot of the stuff. SpaceX stripped out secondary lines, purge systems, wiring, sensors, avionics boxes, and spark igniters, then replaced many bolted flanges with welded joints. That means less weight, fewer leak paths, and fewer things sitting there waiting to fail. The hard part was making “simpler” actually work. SpaceX / Writer: Annette, Grok Imagine Designer: Janné

How did SpaceX film inside a 33-Engine Raptor inferno without the camera melting? 🚀🔥 What looks like a camera melting inside a massive explosion is actually a masterclass in extreme aerospace engineering: SpaceX capturing close-up footage of its 33-Engine Raptor ring firing simultaneously. Instead of relying on standard commercial camera housings that would vaporize instantly, this setup uses heavy-duty, customized protective enclosures engineered to withstand thousands of degrees of intense heat and vibrational stress. Paired with optical-grade sapphire crystal viewports and active cooling systems, the lens remains entirely uncompromised as the engine cluster ignites into a blinding wall of fire. At a time when deep-space exploration requires pushed technical boundaries, this unbelievable footage proves that capturing the heart of a rocket blast no longer requires sacrificing the gear. Simply put: Bringing highly specialized thermal shielding to a high-speed camera setup marks a massive evolution in aerospace diagnostic engineering and launch documentation.

I still can’t believe the entire outer body of the Cybercab is PLASTIC. I think this is the first production Tesla vehicle built this way. Tesla molds the COLOR directly into the panels using reaction injection molding. Far from a traditional paint shop. A process that can take hours with normal automotive paint can now take minutes. Tesla says this cuts manufacturing emissions for those parts by around 35% and eliminates the paint VOCs from the traditional process. And before anyone says, “But what about safety?” The plastic exterior is not the crash structure. The massive front and rear giga castings underneath are doing that job. I rode in the Cybercab myself. Trust me, it does NOT feel cheap at all. It actually makes you realize what Tesla is trying to do here. Fewer parts. Fewer manufacturing steps. No traditional paint shop. Faster production. Lower cost. The unboxed process… This is so much more than Tesla just using plastic to make a cheap car. Tesla is completely rethinking how you build millions of robotaxis.

The N47 is the most documented diesel engine failure in BMW's modern history. For some reason the timing chain sits at the rear of the engine pressed against the bulkhead behind the transmission. BMW placed it there because they considered it a lifetime component that would never need servicing. They were wrong. The chain stretches. The tensioner loses control of it. The rattle you hear on cold start, from the rear of the engine, near the windscreen is the warning. Most owners don't recognise it. When the chain jumps on an interference engine, pistons meet valves. The repair is engine removal, gearbox separation, and full rebuild. Cost: €3,500 to €7,000. Some workshops simply replace the engine. The worst-affected production window is March 2007 to January 2009 when the engine came with a manufacturing defect. The Crankshaft Sprocket Defect or the Chain Guillotine: Because the chain wraps tightly around this sprocket, these sharp teeth acted like a saw blade under load accelerating wear dramatically. The E61 520d falls directly within it. BMW issued revised parts in 2009 and again in 2011. They never formally acknowledged the issue in UK and European markets. Verdict: Avoid pre-2009 cars entirely or just avoid the N47 entirely if you want to sleep at night.

NEWS: SpaceX has released a statement after today's successful 11th Starship test flight. "Every major objective of the flight test was achieved, providing valuable data as we prepare the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy. The flight test began with Super Heavy igniting all 33 Raptor engines and ascending over the Gulf. The successful first-stage ascent was followed by a hot-staging maneuver, with Starship’s upper stage igniting its six Raptor engines to continue its flight to space. Following stage separation, the Super Heavy booster completed its boostback burn to put it on a course to a pre-planned splashdown zone off the coast of Texas using 12 of the 13 planned engines. Under the same angle of attack tested on the previous flight, the booster descended until successfully igniting all 13 planned engines (including one that did not relight during the boostback burn) for the high-thrust portion of the landing burn. The booster successfully executed a unique landing burn planned for use on the next generation booster. Super Heavy hovered above the water before shutting down its engines and splashing down. After completing a full-duration ascent burn, Starship achieved its planned velocity and trajectory. During flight, Starship successfully deployed eight Starlink simulators and executed the third in-space relight of a Raptor engine, demonstrating a critical capability for future deorbit burns. Starship re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and was able to gather extensive data on the performance of its heatshield as it was intentionally stressed to test the limits of the vehicle’s capabilities. In the final minutes of flight, Starship performed a dynamic banking maneuver to mimic the trajectory that future missions returning to Starbase will fly. Starship then guided itself using its four flaps to the pre-planned splashdown zone in the Indian Ocean, successfully executing a landing flip, landing burn, and soft splashdown. Focus now turns to the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy, with multiple vehicles currently in active build and preparing for tests. This next iteration will be used for the first Starship orbital flights, operational payload missions, propellant transfer, and more as we iterate to a fully and rapidly reusable vehicle with service to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond."

Nazar is a real thing! A few days ago I uploaded a picture of this car, and just after driving it for 2–3 days, the E20 petrol completely messed up the fuel system. The fuel pump gave up, the tank had to be drained, and now the engine has started misfiring with rough, unusual idling something that never happened before. This is a 1997 inline-4 petrol engine, and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen it behave like this. The older the vehicle, the more severe the impact of E20 seems to be. You’re ruining perfectly good cars, Gadkari. This has gone too far.😌🙏🏻 Nitin Gadkari

Elon Musk is the ultimate GOAT when it comes to perseverance Just look at SpaceX. Almost every major rocket they’ve built struggled in the beginning Falcon 1 failed multiple times before finally reaching orbit. People laughed when SpaceX said they’d land and reuse Falcon 9 rockets, but they kept trying until they made it routine Now it’s the same story with Starship. It has had its share of failures, but instead of giving up, Elon and the team keep learning, improving, and pushing forward That’s why so many people admire his perseverance. He doesn’t let failure stop him, he uses it as a stepping stone to success.

The next time you feel like giving up, remember this: Elon Musk sat here after losing $100 million. This photo was taken after SpaceX’s third rocket failure. Elon had burned through nearly $100 million of his own money, SpaceX was weeks away from bankruptcy, Tesla was struggling, and he was reportedly sleeping on friends’ couches. The media called him reckless. Investors pulled back. Almost everyone told him to quit. But instead of giving up, Elon risked everything on one final launch. If it failed, SpaceX was finished. It didn’t fail. That launch succeeded, and it changed history. Today, SpaceX is reportedly valued around $1.25 trillion, dominates the private space industry, and is preparing for what could become one of the largest IPOs ever, with reports pointing to a valuation near $1.75 trillion. Most people quit right before the breakthrough. Elon kept pushing when everything was against him. That is the difference between almost succeeding and changing the world.

🚨🇺🇸 ELON: HUMANOID ROBOTS WILL BE BIGGER THAN CELL PHONES, EVERYONE WILL WANT ONE Elon is once again thinking far beyond EVs, declaring that humanoid robots will be “the biggest industry or the biggest product ever,” even surpassing smartphones. Elon is especially referring to Tesla’s Optimus robot, which he claims will eventually be capable of doing anything humans don’t want to. Tesla is already training Optimus with real-world tasks using AI and data from its vehicle fleet, and Musk believes mass production could redefine both labor and consumer tech. Some call it hype, but Elon calls it inevitable. If he’s right, we’re not just talking about the next iPhone… we’re talking about the next industrial revolution. Source: Tesla Owners Silicon Valley

The fire on engine #1 was catastrophic.. an uncontained failure that sent debris flying uncontrollably... but the real killer was the immediate compressor stall on #2, visible right here in the footage as that telltale puff of flame. This almost certainly resulted from Foreign Object Debris (FOD) ingestion, where fragments from #1's explosion were sucked into #2's intake, disrupting airflow and surging the compressor blades. Watch the sudden yaw to the left post-stall: that's the asymmetric thrust kicking in, with only engine #3 (tail-mounted) left producing power. For a fully loaded MD-11 like UPS Flight 2976, heavy with cargo and fuel for its route, climbing out on a single engine was impossible.. performance data shows these birds need at least two for safe ascent under max takeoff weight.Pilots did everything by the book; ATC audio suggests they declared emergency instantly. No procedural tweak could've changed this outcome. RIP to the three lost on board, thoughts with the injured ground personnel.

If you want to understand how far AI-assisted game development has moved in less than a year, IsoCity is one of the best examples. The original version took roughly 40–50 hours with Cursor Composer + cloud agents. Its assets were AI-generated, while the game itself grew into a surprisingly deep city simulation with traffic, pedestrians, trains, planes, zoning, resource management, saving, and mobile support. Under the hood: → Next.js 16 → TypeScript → Native HTML5 Canvas rendering → No external game engine → Custom isometric renderer and simulation systems And the best part: the whole project is open source under MIT, so you can study it, fork it, modify it, or use parts of the architecture in your own experiments. The visual jump from that 2025 build to what agents are producing in 2026 is pretty ridiculous. Built by Andrew Milich and contributors. Repo:

Look at these photos Falcon 9 soaring into the sky. Falcon Heavy and Starship ready for the next mission. Starlink antennas simple, clean, ready for any terrain. The Boring Company’s machine that looks like industrial sculpture. Futuristic tunnels full of Teslas. And the man whose vision stands behind it all. It’s not a coincidence. It’s not just “technology.” It’s class itself. Zero unnecessary ornaments. Zero exaggeration. Just a pure, very high-quality product. You hold it in your hand, step inside, or look at it and immediately feel that everything is refined to the last detail. It works. It looks right. It lasts. Elon Musk has this rare quality: he’s a man with class. He doesn’t flaunt luxury or add things just “because they photograph well.” He chooses simplicity but the kind that’s executed perfectly. And he transferred exactly that same philosophy to his companies. The result? Engineering at the level of fashion. Design that’s modern yet has timeless elegance. Products that don’t just do the job they impress with their quality and quiet confidence. It’s no accident that the rocket looks like a work of art. That a Tesla interior feels minimalist yet luxurious. That a Starlink dish looks like it was designed by someone who understands aesthetics, not just connectivity. They all share one common thread: class. Not the loud, flashy kind. The real kind quiet, self-assured, and uncompromising. If you value things that are simply well-made without unnecessary bling, but full of character and top-tier quality this is the essence of what Elon has built.

The companies racing Elon Musk to build AI are paying him more than 2 billion dollars a month to do it. Anthropic pays SpaceX 1.25 billion dollars a month. Google pays 920 million. They are not buying rockets. They are renting compute, the scarce Nvidia chips that train frontier models, from a data center in Memphis called Colossus that Musk's rocket company now owns. SpaceX folded xAI into itself in February, and with it the 220,000 chips built to train Grok. Then it rented them to Grok's rivals. Anthropic took the entire first building. Google leased 110,000 more. The contracts signed so far run past 80 billion dollars. SpaceX is no longer a rocket company that dabbles in AI. It is one of the largest AI compute landlords on Earth, and its biggest tenants are the rivals it is trying to beat. Musk is not choosing between building AI on the ground and building it in space. He is using one to fund the other. The 80 billion in ground contracts is the cash engine. Starmind, the million-satellite constellation built to leave the ground behind, is what the cash builds. So the rivals are financing his exit from the planet. Every dollar Anthropic and Google pay for compute in Memphis helps fund the orbital network designed to strand them on the surface. They are paying the toll on the road they are trying to win, and the toll is building Musk a road no one else can reach. The piece works out who is really renting from whom.

$I genuinely think the Terafab is going to end up being one of the biggest moves ever made in human history to secure the future of AI... and I think most people still don’t fully see what Elon is trying to do here. The signs are clear to me. This is Tesla, xAI, and SpaceX essentially hinting to us that they are not going to wait on the world to give them the compute the team needs. They are going to build it themselves at a scale no one has ever attempted. When you really break it down, it gets a bit nutty. This is going to be a fully vertically integrated chip factory that will be producing over 1 terawatt of AI compute per year. This is NEXT LEVEL BIG. Today, AI is limited by chips. You can have the best models, the best engineers, the best everything... but if you don’t have enough compute, you will eventually hit a wall. Elon told us, the world can only supply a tiny fraction of the chips his companies will need. So this is the solution. Terafab puts everything under one roof like design, manufacturing, memory, packaging, testing, which means that they can build chips very fast.. like really fast. I'm talking about 100-200 billion custom AI chips per year at full capacity. Chips designed specifically for: • Tesla cars and Optimus robots • xAI models • Space-based compute You see, while other companies and CEOs are thinking Earth, Elon is planning for AI in space. Around ~80% of the compute is expected to go orbital, powered by solar energy bc Earth simply doesn’t have enough electricity. The U.S. grid is only about ~0.5 terawatts, while space has basically UNLIMITED energy if you can capture it. And this is the steps to get it: Starship launches → space compute → solar-powered AI → feeds back into everything to Earth. Bro... Elon and his companies are playing at a whole different level... And this is why I keep telling people that the Terafab is going to be the secret ingredient that will be the real unlock for everything: • Robotaxis at scale • Billions of Optimus robots • Massive AI models running 24/7 • Future off-world, other planet infrastructure Without these chips, none of this can happen... but with the Terafab, all of this becomes possible. That’s why Elon is calling it “the final missing piece.” I agree.$

I genuinely think the Terafab is going to end up being one of the biggest moves ever made in human history to secure the future of AI... and I think most people still don’t fully see what Elon is trying to do here. The signs are clear to me. This is Tesla, xAI, and SpaceX essentially hinting to us that they are not going to wait on the world to give them the compute the team needs.
