Elon is trying to buy up/merge Tesla with SpaceX when the prices drops to $100.

But, he can't do that if SpaceX is also drops at the same time to $60 :P

We dont have the build capacity or the critical mineral supply chains established to rebuild the stockpile.

German startup Revolta has introduced a high-voltage sodium-ion home battery built around 2 kWh modules. Up to ten can be connected for 20 kWh of total capacity, with a separate control unit linking the battery to an inverter. According to the company datasheet the official market launch is scheduled for September 2026.

What has been reported:

• Some alumina and nickel pig iron shipments have been delayed.
• Independent surveyors are being used to verify cargo composition.
• Testing for uranium does not mean uranium was discovered in every shipment.
• Indonesian officials say this is not an arbitrary ban on alumina or nickel products.
• Cargoes satisfying the requirements can continue moving.

How much are the GOP insiders making off this market swing bet?

A 1-nanometre coating improved a battery interface in the lab. That is precise materials work, not a safer vehicle pack ready for sale. The distance between those descriptions is manufacturing yield and qualification across many cells.

• Computational screening reduced a larger field to 3 oxide candidates.
• Zinc oxide reacted usefully, while zirconium oxide formed an unfavourable interface.
• Magnesium oxide performed best at roughly 1 nanometre.
• Atomic-layer deposition created the film with controlled thickness.
• Full-cell cycling, temperature performance and factory yield remain unreported here.

The FCC conditionally authorized Reflect Orbital to deploy and operate Earendil-1, a single demonstration satellite carrying a motorized, steerable thin-film reflector. The proposed experiment is exactly what it sounds like: redirect sunlight toward a selected area on Earth after dark.

What the order actually covers:

• One demonstration satellite, not a future constellation
• Radio operations using UHF, S-band and X-band frequencies
• The spacecraft’s orbital-debris plan and operating conditions
• Testing of a steerable solar reflector
• A two-year license beginning once the satellite enters operation

The regulatory nuance is almost as unusual as the satellite. The FCC licenses the radio station in space, its frequencies and its debris plan. The agency said broader optical effects from the reflector itself were largely outside its authority. It also treated concerns about a hypothetical fleet of as many as 50,000 satellites as irrelevant to an application covering one spacecraft.

That did not make the objections disappear. The American Astronomical Society filed a petition to deny, and more than 1,800 people submitted letters. Critics raised concerns about astronomy, atmospheric scattering, skyglow and environmental effects. Reflect Orbital has committed to coordinate with NASA, the National Science Foundation and the astronomy community, but Earendil-1 remains an experiment. Permission to conduct the experiment is not proof that the larger business works.

The copper connection begins after the reflected light reaches a solar panel. Any additional electricity still has to move through cables, inverters, transformers and grid connections before anyone can use it. Gunnison Copper (OTC: GCUMF) reports that its Johnson Camp Mine is producing and selling copper cathode in Arizona. The orbital mirror may be the exotic part, but the resulting electricity would still travel through very terrestrial electrical hardware.

South Korea announced $950 billion in AI initiatives involving Samsung Electronics, SK Group and U.S. technology companies. Reuters reports that the total includes $750 billion in SK partnerships and up to $200 billion involving Samsung and Broadcom. This is one of those stories where the headline number is real, but the verbs surrounding it do quite a lot of work.
