About this episode

SpaceX just landed a skyscraper rocket with chopsticks
 It’s the 1st step to landing on Mars.

Taco Bell’s newest innovation isn’t food, it’s financial
 Name-your-own-price.

Tesla finally unveiled their robo-taxi (and a cyber-bus and humanoid robots)
 but Wall Street thinks it’s empty calories.

It’s National Failure Day
 so we’re celebrating the losses (yes, that typo was on purpose).
