    I searched for her talk in the TED app on my iPad but it’s not there yet. Anxious to hear what she had to say.

    Thanks for that link. I always enjoy hearing her make a presentation even if I already know the content she is presenting. This talk is a good basic presentation on SpaceX and what the future will be like.

    New article about Gywnne, good read, see Terms of Service Violation (that’s not the title of the article! It’s the HTML title tag, so a Bloomberg.com screwup).

    The URL is without the https:// is bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-07-26/she-launches-spaceships-sells-rockets-and-deals-with-elon-musk

    Saw that article this am and meant to post it here but got distracted. Agree that it was a good read.

    Does she have a twin, and if so can we get one for Tesla? Please?

    ULA just got its first commercial launch in many years. Here is Gwynne's response to a question about that:

    Shotwell: decline in GEO business is not a “crushing blow” for us. Seeing strong growth in DOD business, but also later with commercial crew: “7 billion potential payloads”

    Gwynne has a wicked sense of humor. :p

    Serious point:
    Day 1: SpaceX announces date for first passenger intercontinental ballistic flights.
    Later, Day 1: Companies announce SpaceX flights as competition prizes.
