But fast forward 11 years and its shutting down. The challenges, and unforeseen disruptions were things that few could have seen coming. But there's more to this story, and I might have just figured out why electricity in California is so expensive. This is a fascinating story of the future of energy!

We went to the moon in the 60's and never again since. We flew supersonic on the Concorde decades ago, but have no such option today. But there's good news, like with SpaceX or Blue Origin, we're seeing the rise of private companies picking up where governments left off. Boom Supersonic just completed the final supersonic flight test on their demonstrator XB-1 Aircraft and it was really amazing. Believe it or not we'll be flying supersonic again, and there's some really fascinating parts of this story we have to talk about.

Thanks DeleteMe for sponsoring this video! Protect your online Info Today! https://joindeleteme.com/TwoBitDavinci Trump has been talking about the Panama Canal since before he got into office. From threats of taking the Canal back over, to untold other possibilities, he hasn't been shy about his interest. But today I want to talk about how things have actually played out since Marco Rubio's visit to Panama, and how it really will change the future of the Canal. So let's get into it!

Support the Show! https://twobit.link/Member As an aerospace engineer, and former member of the US Navy Mishap Response Team, this always stings. I've watched videos all day, of each side blaming the other and speculating. But I have flown through this airspace over 20 times and trust me when I tell you, we have much bigger problems, than anyone is reporting. So let's figure this out, and see why unless we do something, things like this can happen again.

Protect your online Info Today! https://joindeleteme.com/TwoBitDavinci We've been hearing a lot Deepseek, the Chinese AI startup that has seemingly leapfrogged American AI companies like OpenAI, all on the shoestring budget of less than 6 Million dollars. The LLMs are so good, and so cheap, that it caused a massive selloff of US Stocks like NVIDIA, and Facebook. But what's really going on, what exactly did they innovate and what does it mean for the future? I'm joined by my very good friend Alex from  @TickerSymbolYOU  to discuss!

I always LOVE high speed rail when I travel abroad, and I hear the argument that the U.S. Should do the same. We've tried in small ways, but there are some reasons why it might not be the no brainer some claim. So does high speed rail actually make sense in the U.S. ... This might surprise you.

Reports have started to appear showing how some LA Residents saved their homes in the wildfires. As if by some miracle, some homes survived, while all others burned. And why it probably was a miracle, I wanted to see what sort of measures people took and what we can learn from it. Our Thoughts and prayers are with you LA, I can't think about much else right now.

The LA Fires first broke out when I was in Las Vegas for CES, and it changed everything. I have lived in California for over 35 years, and Southern California for nearly 20. I love this state, but there are some major issues at play that we need to break down, because a state that has 220B in tax revenue should be doing much better than we are. So let's figure this out.

Early on New Years Day a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside of Trump Tower in Las Vegas. The news media ran with the story and starting spreading misinformation I feel I should try to correct. So let's figure out what really happened.
