Kara Brown: I spent the last five years going all around the world trying to find the most interesting characters. She says there are hundreds of rocket startups, satellite startups all over the world. Brown: The real action has been poured into building this computing shell in low Earth orbit full of thousands and thousands of satellites. "There's been false starts on some of this stuff, but now, you know, it's happening for real"
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.
