So I mean, in terms of interesting things that probably are accomplished this year: getting Starship to be fully reusable so that we catch both the booster and the ship, which would be the first fully reusable orbital rocket ever in history, which would be a profound breakthrough, the essential breakthrough necessary to make life multiplanetary — and ultimately it’ll become a space-faring civilization. > > We’ve got Neuralink, which has now helped five patients restore capability using the telepathy implant, where they’re able to control a computer simply by thinking. We’ll be doing our first patient to restore sight with a Blindsight implant, which is the end of this year, early next.
