52. Starlink
Starlink emerged as a bold initiative by SpaceX, transforming from a mere concept into a crucial project aimed at reshaping global internet accessibility while generating substantial revenue to support Musk’s long-term vision of Mars colonization. Unlike traditional satellite providers that relied on large, geostationary satellites orbiting 22,000 miles above Earth, Starlink was designed as a low-Earth orbit (LEO) network, positioning thousands of small satellites at just 340 miles. This innovative…-

53. Starship
Starship was born out of Elon Musk’s deep-rooted aspiration to make humanity an interplanetary species, a goal that required a spacecraft far beyond the capabilities of the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. While those rockets had revolutionized spaceflight through reusability, they were ultimately insufficient for the scale of Mars colonization that Musk envisioned. In response, he launched an ambitious project originally called the BFR (Big F**king Rocket), later rebranded as Starship, a fully reusable rocket…-

59. Starship Surge
Starship Surge became a defining moment in SpaceX's journey toward revolutionizing space travel, with the ambitious goal of rapid rocket reusability taking center stage in July 2021. At the heart of this push was Mechazilla, a towering launchpad structure equipped with massive chopstick-like arms designed to catch the returning booster of Starship instead of relying on ocean landings or complex landing legs. Musk's vision for this innovation was driven by the belief that for spaceflight to be truly…-

Chapter 8 of The Runaway Cell – New Ways to Address the Killer That Is Cancer begins with the remarkable case of James DeAngelo, a patient from the late 1960s who unexpectedly survived metastatic stomach cancer despite receiving no medical treatment. His survival puzzled doctors and led researcher Steve Rosenberg to explore the role of the immune system in combating cancer, a theory that was largely unproven at the time. Despite facing numerous setbacks and failures in his research, Rosenberg's…
