I think Virgin Galactic is at zero within a year. I think Space Tourism makes absolutely fucking no sense. It's both supply constrained and demand constrained. It is the most ridiculous business ever. The price of rocket launches has come down and there's a lot more rockets now. And so we're going to see way more science and yeah, like it's an incredible time.
Kara and Scott discuss Tesla’s Cybertruck, Tucker Carlson’s new media company, and a drop in Threads engagement. Also, Bob One’s contract has been extended after a rough first year, and SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher has him in her crosshairs. Plus, Earth is experiencing its hottest days on record. What does that mean for politics and infrastructure? Then we’re joined by Friend of Pivot Ashlee Vance to talk all things space and Elon Musk.
You can find Ashlee on Twitter at @ashleevance and can buy his book here.
