What's Good in the World Today Thread

This photo is history in the making. It is the first Starship (serial number 20) to ever be stacked atop a SuperHeavy Booster (booster number 4). It is the prototype for the vehicle that will next carry humans to the moon and to Mars. There will be a thousand of these stacked pairs, but this one is the first.

Robotics is a sport and I’m happy it exists. It isn’t just Battle Bots (which I also enjoy) but the Elementary, Middle School, and High School robotics competitions are intense. That these competitions exist is a great thing, but the existence of these competitions isn’t what has me smiling today.

What has me fist pumping today is that 11 girls who were in parts of a competition robotics team from Afghanistan were just rescued before they could be seized by the Taliban by an Oklahoma Mom who met them in 2019 when they were here in the US for a competition.
