0:04
Were examining a particularly intriguing development, the
0:08
astonished rise and no rulings valuation to an estimated five
0:12
billion dollars more than double its worth from just two years
0:16
ago. And despite being years away
0:19
from commercialization and its various regulatory challenges
0:23
and ethical questions neurolink stands out as an intriguing
0:27
exception in a market trend of pre-ipo.
0:30
So companies now join us as we delve into the details of these
0:33
secondary trades, the groundbreaking aspirations
0:36
behind neural, links neural, interface technology, and the
0:39
hurdles it faces in the course of its ambitious Journey, while
0:43
the company's Innovative Pursuit, neural interface
0:46
technology seems to dwell in the realm of Science Fiction.
0:50
The numbers tell a very different story in the recent
0:53
months, neural links. Estimated value skyrocketed to
0:57
about five billion dollars. That's a nasty.
1:00
Seeing leap from its valuation of around 2, billion dollars
1:02
just a few years ago. Secondary trades involving the
1:06
privately held companies stock precipitated.
1:09
This significant increase in wealth.
1:12
Now driven by existing shareholders such as early
1:15
investors and employees of the company.
1:19
These stakeholders Leverage, The Thin volume of these
1:21
transactions to upturn the valuation metrics, effectively,
1:25
painting a promising picture of neural links financial future in
1:29
this Financial escalation is all the more surprising considering
1:33
it took place before the US Food and Drug Administration.
1:37
Gave the green light for a human trial, involving neural links
1:40
technology though. This approval granted on May
1:44
25th, 2023 did appear to act as a catalyst triggering a flurry
1:49
of private trades and seemingly bolstering the value of the
1:52
company. However, the rise in nerd links,
1:55
valuation needs to be contextualized within the
1:58
broader market trends. Now kept plate data, reported
2:02
that 85% of pre-ipo companies are witnessing a 47 percent
2:07
discount in. Secondary trades, neural links
2:10
performance, therefore stands. As an exception in The Current
2:13
financial landscape with a company bucking the trend in
2:16
forging. Its unique trajectory that when
2:19
this backdrop neurolink has not only made headlines for its
2:22
impressive financial performance but also for its ambitious and
2:26
potentially groundbreaking plans, the companies, Technology
2:30
Inc, to stimulate brain activity.
2:33
Offering you an exciting and previously unexplored Avenue of
2:36
treatment for paralyzed patients.
2:38
Now, Beyond these medical application musk ever.
2:41
The Visionary has articulated more ambitious goals for the
2:45
brain chip technology. He sees a future where these
2:47
implants could facilitate mental telepathy, allow for web,
2:52
browsing directly, through thought, and even address,
2:55
mental illness now in this Spirit of advancing, this cause
2:59
must head. It at the potential for human
3:01
trials. Commencing as early as 2020 to,
3:05
however, the FDA wary of the inherent risks and safety
3:09
concerns associated with such a groundbreaking technology.
3:13
Put the brakes on those plans. Now, despite the recent FDA
3:17
approval in the ensuing positive impact on knurlings value, the
3:21
company isn't, without its fair share of challenges and
3:24
controversies reports indicate that the firm is currently under
3:28
investigation. On several fronts earlier, a
3:31
report revealed that the company might have included insiders in
3:35
its animal research, oversight committee.
3:38
Now these individuals can stand to benefit financially from
3:42
expedited development, a situation that raises ethical
3:45
questions. It's also noteworthy that the
3:48
value of the stock held by certain employees has surged by
3:52
a staggering 150% in two years highlighting, the potential
3:57
financial implications of these internal decisions.
4:00
Furthermore neurolink is grappling with accusations
4:04
related, to Animal Welfare company's staff.
4:06
Reportedly said that? There were instances.
4:09
Where surgeries of monkeys pigs and sheep were rushed once
4:13
again, raising ethical and legal issues.
4:16
And according to these concerns to Department of Transportation
4:19
is also launched a probe to determine whether neurolink
4:22
adhered to appropriate, containment measurements during
4:26
the transportation of chips extracted from the monkeys
4:29
brains He's now at this time, neither Elon Musk nor neurolink
4:33
have responded to requests for any comments about these probes.
4:37
Now let's shift gears from Elon musk's neural link to Elon
4:42
musk's SpaceX following a successful launch of NASA's
4:46
Space. X 28 Commercial resupply
4:49
Services mission to new solar arrays, science investigation
4:53
and supplies are on their way to the International Space Station
4:57
carrying more than 7,000 pounds of cargo.
5:00
To the orbiting laboratory the uncrewed SpaceX Dragon
5:03
spacecraft launched on the company's Falcon 9 rocket at
5:06
11:47 a.m. eastern time. Monday.
5:09
June 5th, from NASA's, Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
5:13
The cargo spacecraft is scheduled to autonomously dock
5:16
with the space facing Port of the station's.
5:18
Harmony module at approximately 550 a.m. and remain at the
5:22
station. For about 21 days, spacex's
5:26
Dragon will deliver a pair of iro essays.
5:30
As International Space Station rollout, solar arrays that once
5:33
installed will expand the energy, production capabilities
5:36
of the microgravity complex. Now, there's some other
5:40
interesting things on board the spacecraft.
5:43
Now there's a thunderstorm watch what happens above,
5:47
thunderstorms the Thor Davis, which is an investigation from
5:51
the European space agency and it will observe thunderstorms from
5:55
the space station. This vantage point will allow
5:57
researchers to see the electrical activity.
6:00
Above particularly the Inception frequency and altitude of
6:04
recently, discovered blue discharges scientists plan to
6:08
estimate the energy of these phenomena, to determine their
6:11
effort in the atmosphere, and now, a better understanding of
6:14
lightning and electrical activity, and Earth's atmosphere
6:17
can improve atmospheric models and provide a better
6:19
understanding of Earth's climate and weather.
6:22
There's some plant science going to the International Space
6:24
Station as well. Plants exposed to environmental
6:27
stress including spaceflight undergo.
6:29
Changes to adapt, but those changes may not be passed On to
6:33
the Next Generation. The plant habitat 03 will assess
6:37
whether plants grow in space, can transfer some adaptations to
6:41
the Next Generation. And if so whether a change
6:44
continues through subsequent Generations, or stabilizes, the
6:48
investigation will create a second generation of plants
6:51
using seeds previously. Produced in space and return to
6:54
Earth. Results could provide insight
6:57
into how to grow multiple generations of plants to provide
7:00
Food and other services on future space missions.
7:03
This investigation also could support development of
7:06
strategies for adapting crops and other economically important
7:10
plants to Marginal and reclaimed habitats on Earth.
7:14
And there's one more experiment that I'm very interested in.
7:17
They watch Cosmic weathering Iris sponsored by the
7:20
International Space Station National Laboratory, observes,
7:24
weathering of geological samples exposed to direct solar and
7:28
background cosmic rays. Radiation and determines whether
7:31
changes are visually detectable. Now, the investigation also
7:34
demonstrates experimental, Sun sensors, torque rods, which
7:38
provide attitude control, + D, tumbling for satellites, and a
7:42
battery heater collaboration between graduate undergraduate
7:45
and middle school students. In Canada, the project provides
7:48
hands-on experience. That promotes interest in
7:51
science, technology, engineering, and math studies
7:54
and careers results. Also could provide insight into
7:58
weathering processes on Terry bodies and when combined with
8:02
data from asteroid sampling missions, they could improve

Tech the successful hot-fire test of the Vulcan Centaur.
16:09
The Next Generation rocket by United launch Alliance in this
16:13
journey, will explore the Myriad of challenges triumphs and the
16:16
unwavering Dedication that has propelled.
16:18
The Vulcan Center project forward will delve into the
16:21
details of the recent hot-fire, test, a crucial Milestone.
16:24
That is set the stage for this Stellar Vehicles First Flight
16:28
potentially, slated, for July, of this year.
16:31
We'll also talk about the Pressive partnership between Ula
16:34
and blue origin, the role they're set to play in Amazon's
16:37
ambitious project Kuiper and the key industry players involved
16:41
and in true Star, Trek Session will also talk about how the
16:45
Vulcan centaurs maiden voyage will transport the ashes of the
16:49
iconic series Creator Gene Roddenberry and actor.
16:53
James, Doohan better known as Scotty from Star Trek.
16:58
Now from engine production challenges to the burgeoning
17:01
prospects of space cargo delivery for our discussion
17:04
today will capture the spirit of human determination and the
17:07
Relentless pursuit of exploration and advancement.
17:10
The groundbreaking Vulcan Centaur, the latest addition to
17:13
the United launch Alliance family of rockets is on the
17:16
brink of its maiden voyage. The culmination of years of
17:19
design, manufacturing and rigorous testing this
17:22
magnificent, craft stands about 202 feet tall.
17:27
And it's Going to define the future of space exploration for
17:31
the Ula. I was the sunset over the Cape
17:33
Canaveral space force station in Florida on June 7th, the Vulcan
17:37
Centaur achieved, a pivotal Milestone successfully executing
17:41
a critical engine test. The first of its kind for this
17:44
pioneering machine. In the world of rocketry,
17:47
countdowns are moments filled with anticipation and
17:50
nail-biting suspense. The magic started at T-minus
17:54
four point eight, eight seconds. The engines start sequence.
17:57
In a shaded as Vulcan centers to main stage engines Roar de life.
18:02
On the launch pad, What followed was a burst of power lasting two
18:06
seconds where the engines reach their intended, thrust level and
18:09
then gradually wound down this. Crucial flight Readiness, fire
18:13
test as brief as it was significant encompassed.
18:17
A span of just six seconds, powered by Vulcan centaurs in
18:21
novels stage are to be e 4 engines, the brainchild of blue
18:26
origin while a sin. Par 5 upper stage is propelled
18:29
by a pair of rl10 engines. The versatility of the
18:33
spacecraft is great. The design also allows for the
18:37
addition of up to six strap-on, solid rocket boosters
18:41
augmenting, its launch capabilities, even further when
18:45
fully operational the Vulcan sent our promises to deliver, a
18:47
payload of up to seven metric tons to a geostationary orbit,
18:52
far above the Earth. Although its maiden voyage has
18:55
yet to occur, you LA's efforts are inching Closer to changing
18:58
that as evidenced by the recent successful F RF, test an
19:03
official announcement. Following the test, you will a
19:06
Express that their Vulcan qualification program is on the
19:09
cusp of completion standing at a staggering 98 percent complete.
19:13
They noted that the remaining aspects under review are linked
19:16
to the final testing of the Centaur 5.
19:19
However, as with any Venture, the journey has not been devoid
19:23
of setbacks the update mention a setback that happened on March
19:27
29th. When an unfortunate hydrogen
19:29
leak to assent are exploding on the test stand at NASA's
19:33
Marshall space flight center in Alabama.
19:35
And prior to this incident, as early May schedule, have been
19:38
planned for the debut Lodge of the Vulcan Center, Ula engineers
19:42
and technicians of Thoroughly reviewing the data from the F RF
19:46
test systems working in parallel conducting an in-depth
19:49
investigation into Center five tests and anomaly.
19:52
They are optimistic that the results will pave the way for
19:55
robust. Launch plan ensuring Vulcans.
19:57
Aunt are safe and successful launch.
19:59
The inaugural mission of the Vulcan Center is hit the Cure.
20:02
The Peregrine lunar lander developed by the Pittsburgh
20:05
based company astrobotic. If everything goes right, Ula
20:09
officials suggest that the launch could take place as early
20:12
as the summer. Although no specific timeline
20:15
has been announced yet. The Vulcan centaurs Journey
20:18
towards its Maiden launch has been marked with instances of
20:22
postponed tests. The F RF initially scheduled for
20:25
May 25th was delayed due to a technical issue.
20:27
You with the booster discovered during the countdown following,
20:31
this the Vulcan Centaur has relocated to its vertical
20:34
integrated launch facility and your for detailed inspection and
20:37
Analysis. The rectification seem to have
20:40
paid off considering the successful outcome of the
20:42
reschedule test. And designed as the successor to
20:45
Ula, is celebrated Atlas 5 and Delta 4 launch Vehicles.
20:50
The Vulcans Centaur carries the weight of high expectations,
20:53
despite hurdles such as engine delivery, delays from Blue
20:57
origin. Slowdowns due to covid-19 and
21:00
internal manufacturing hurdles at Ula.
21:03
The Centaur project has pressed forward.
21:05
It is determined to make it to space.
21:09
A significant step in the development of Vulcan centaur
21:12
was this successful hot-fire test on June, 7th 2023.
21:17
A procedure often filled with tension that hot-fire test
21:19
involved, lighting up the be4 engines at the Rockets base.
21:23
This occasion was met with gratification from the Ula team.
21:27
Marking a rewarding culmination of years of dedication and hard
21:32
work. Mark Peller Ula is Vice
21:34
President of Vulcan development Express.
21:36
Thrill following the successful test.
21:38
They said seeing the hardware function, the engines firing and
21:42
all the systems working together was terribly exciting.
21:46
Their hard work. Did not go unnoticed.
21:48
Jeff Bezos. CEO of blue origin.
21:51
Congratulated the Ula team on their successful, hot-fire test
21:54
highlighting the strong ties with in the space community.
21:57
Immunity despite its success, the F RF test wasn't without its
22:01
share of challenges two weeks. Prior it was postponed when the
22:05
team noticed a delayed response from the booster engine ignition
22:08
system, used to power up the engines in unfazed, by the
22:12
setback, Ula move the rocket back to its vertical integration
22:15
facility at Cape Canaveral to understand and fix the issue.
22:19
The Vulcans sent our currently awaiting launch.
22:21
At space launch complex 41 is set to take Center Stage for the
22:25
certification. One mission its first-ever
22:27
Light, you will a CEO Tory. Bruno is hinted that the launch
22:32
won't occur until at least July the launch hinges on, not just
22:36
the success of the F RF test. But also, the conclusion of an
22:40
ongoing investigation relating to the destructive incident
22:44
March which saw a fireball cause damage to a test article for the
22:48
center stage in. You always test and at NASA's
22:51
Marshall space flight center in Alabama.
22:53
Now the Vulcan Center's first payload will be the astrobotic
22:57
Paragon. Verlander marking the
22:59
commencement of NASA's commercial lunar.
23:00
Payload Services missions to the Moon.
23:03
Additionally the maiden flight will carry the first two of
23:06
Amazon's planned project. Kuiper satellites along with
23:09
these, the Vulcan sent are what carry the ashes of over. 150
23:13
people including Star Trek, Creator, Gene Roddenberry and

25:56
The Prototype iteration of the Highland model 3 unveiled, a

However, the model 3 is yet to see these cameras until project
26:49
Highland transitions from prototype to production lines,
26:54
but the revolution doesn't end there.
26:57
Tesla appears to be lending additional focus on the

Germany. Now, the diffuser is a
27:23
strategically engineered to enhance downforce at high speeds
27:27
by accelerating low. Pressure are under the car and
27:30
directing it towards the rear. And by refining this airflow and
27:34
reducing drag Tesla could potentially augment the handling
27:38
Performance of the model 3, offering a more
27:40
performance-oriented, variant to cater to EV enthusiasts or eager

33:51
creators on the platform will allow them to access their
33:55
subscribers, email addresses this step as per musk, aims to
33:59
streamline the interaction between content creators, and
34:02
their followers, breaking them, the ability to stay connected.
34:05
Even if the letter shoes to depart from Twitter, the news
34:09
quickly garnered widespread attention with the announcement
34:12
tweak drawing, millions of views and retweets.
34:15
And Just a few hours of the possibility of this new feature
34:18
is parked animated debates amongst Twitter users.
34:22
Many expressed Keen interest in the idea of a reciprocal feature
34:25
that can enable them to import followers from other platforms.
34:28
At the same time, the feasibility of musk's latest
34:31
initiative had some users, raising questions, provocatively
34:34
asking, what could possibly go wrong?
34:38
This announcement stands amid musk's ongoing efforts to revamp
34:42
the functionality of reach on Twitter.
34:45
Have being rebranded, the previous quote, super follows
34:47
feature into a subscriptions model musk has opened up new
34:51
avenues for Content creators and influencers.
34:54
They can now monetize their presence on the platform by
34:56
offering unique content to their followers but let's dig a little
35:00
deeper into musk's twittersphere.
35:02
It's been reported that musk is following at least 77 people
35:06
including Tech personalities such as YouTuber or kids
35:09
Brownlee. A Twitter spaces host Mario
35:12
novel and content creator mr. Beast a parody account of on

Jerome Powell and a mean poster shitpost Gateway.
35:22
Now, interestingly musk unintentionally disclosed a
35:25
number of subscribers, revealing an impressive figure of 24,700
35:30
users who were paying him for dollars per month.
35:33
I was some kind of back of the napkin math here, that amounts
35:37
to about ninety nine thousand dollars per month.
35:40
That's solely from Twitter subscribers in this new
35:43
development, arises as a Earth of fresh air and loosening
35:47
Twitter's traditionally tight grip on user identities and
35:51
providing a user Escape Route for Content creators while
35:54
taking their followers along with them.
35:57
However, this mechanism might appear somewhat cumbersome
36:00
compared to the seamlessly portability, offered by emerging
36:04
social media networks. Now launched in April, Twitter's
36:07
revamp subscription program allows users with a minimum of
36:10
500 followers to charge for exclusive tweets and other forms
36:14
of content. The subscribers under the new
36:17
development would need to provide their consent for the
36:20
email addresses to be shared with the content creators.
36:24
Now as the changes, take shape the digital landscape teams with
36:27
viable Twitter Alternatives, the provide users with the freedom
36:31
to carry their identities and followers to other platforms
36:34

36:41
social network, Blue Sky, Aventure birth and her.
36:45
His previous CEO, Jack Dorsey. A despite the skepticism from
36:50
certain quarters must bold move has provoked an industry-wide
36:54
dialogue about the future of social media platforms.
36:57
Some criticize, jest, that musk should consider merging Twitter
37:01
with platforms like Noster. Thereby making Twitter part of a
37:05
larger ecosystem, while preserving its dominance.
37:09
And now as it stands Twitter's making considerable strides
37:11
under musk's leadership with the introduction of numerous novel.
37:15
Teachers and Company Acquisitions these changes form
37:18
part of musk's Grand Vision to transform Twitter into an
37:22
everything up. A hub that will cater to a broad
37:25
array of user needs from encrypted messaging to treating
37:28
assets. This transformation has seen
37:31
Twitter taking on major platforms like YouTube,
37:34

37:43
However, these Others are available exclusively to
37:47
Twitter, blue, subscribers triggering some humorous
37:51
reactions from the Creator community that he's trying to
37:54
get a hold of a Twitter has also ventured into Partnerships and
37:59
Acquisitions to extend its offerings in April.
38:02
The platform teamed up with etoro social trading and
38:05
investment platform to allow users to track markets and
38:10
execute transactions directly from Twitter.
38:13
This partnership allows users to buy and sell stocks
38:16
cryptocurrencies, and other assets marketing.
38:19
A significant shift of Twitter's core functionality.
38:22
Additionally, in a strategic move to expand its realm
38:25
Twitter, recently, acquired the tech hiring platform Lasky,
38:28
though. The terms of the deal were
38:29
undisclosed, it was the first acquisition since must took the
38:33
reins of the social media. Giant, the integration plans for
38:36
Lasky into the broader Twitter ecosystem.
38:39
Remain unclear, sparking Intrigue.
38:41
And speculation among Industry, observers and users alike.
38:46
But why do these changes matter? They highlight a significant
38:50
transformation in the digital space, the convergence of
38:53
different online experiences onto single platforms as an
38:57
everything app. Twitter, under muscles
38:59

39:24
Email addresses, Twitter's providing them with an

their followers. It breaks down the barrier as a
39:33
platform exclusivity and opens up possibilities for
