Tech News Today 1569: To the Moon!

Just one year ago emerged a would-be competitor to Amazon's massive e-commerce behemoth. Jet.com launched last July, armed with more than $500 million of venture funding, and in one month became the #4 marketplace online in terms of sales...beating out Best Buy, Newegg, Sears and others. But it's aim was to beat Amazon at its own game, and now, Walmart is apparently in talks to buy Jet.com which would signal defeat in its ambitions. Tesla reports earnings, Moon Express wants to monetize moon rocks, and an update on yesterday's report regarding the security of Telegram.
