USA Bobsled & Skeleton is partnering with Utah aerospace and advanced-manufacturing companies to develop lighter, stronger composite sleds, aiming to improve American athletes’ competitiveness ahead of the 2034 Winter Olympics in Utah. Albany Engineered Composites will make cowlings for four-man sleds, Nammo Composite Solutions will produce carbon-fiber cowlings for two-man sleds, and Hexcel will supply materials and composite expertise; 47G brought the partners together. The effort builds on design and aerodynamics support from American Honda and Acura, with Honda expected to assemble the sleds. The organizations say aerospace-grade materials and engineering could help make a difference in a sport where races can be decided by fractions of a second.

Its rocket-shaped boundary sparked speculation about a SpaceX reference, though Elon Musk called the resemblance coincidental, and reports say Houston’s service still has a limited driverless fleet and no public Cybercab rides.

NASA's 20-Foot NEO Surveyor Sunshade Advances Toward Integration

NASA’s NEO Surveyor sunshade, fitted with solar cells that can generate up to 2 kilowatts, has been inspected in Colorado as it advances toward spacecraft assembly. The sunshade will shield the infrared telescope from the Sun’s heat while the mission searches for hard-to-detect asteroids and comets, including objects near the Sun’s direction.

SpaceX Closes $40B GPU Debt Financing

SpaceX has secured $40 billion in debt financing to buy GPUs for its AI ambitions, with Elon Musk crediting its investment-grade status and revenue from Starlink and launches for preserving access to credit. Musk warned that tightening lending could force many smaller AI infrastructure firms to fail or consolidate.
