Ep. 30: SpaceX’s Historic ‘Space Peek,’ Apple’s iPhone 16 Letdown, and NFL’s Private Equity Play

In Episode 30, we kick things off with a space-filled adventure as SpaceX successfully completes a commercial spacewalk with civilian astronauts aboard, pushing the boundaries of private space exploration. But was it a real spacewalk or just a “space peek”? Next, we dive into reactions from Apple’s much-anticipated iPhone 16 event, which turned out to be a bit underwhelming. With incremental updates and the biggest buzz being… a camera button? We dissect the highlights (or lack thereof) and compare it to our predictions. Waymo also makes headlines with its self-driving cars now being statistically safer than human drivers. We explore the potential future of autonomous driving and what it could mean for road safety. Lastly, we tackle the surprising move by the NFL to open up teams to private equity investments, setting the stage for new ways to own a piece of America’s favorite sport. 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 05:17 Apple's iPhone Event Reactions 16:54 Waymo's Autonomous Driving Safety Report 24:09 NFL's Private Equity Investments 28:42 Conclusion and Sign-Off
