we have more on this story from ashlee vance. interesting moment that is happening where the cost of satellites has come down a lot, much better consumer electronics and all of these trends we see throughout the technology world. the size of the satellites has come down so you have these companies rushing to kind of reinvent a lot of the communications that take place in space, the imaging that takes place in space, and the types of science that you can do there as well. there is kind of this blue mode of satellite startups. >> i wondered if this tied into more of a private sector look at space. is it more of a reflection of -- for example in the u.s. when we think about those making the biggest strides i think about spacex and elon musk. i do not really think about nasa so much. obviously, that is still happening but not quite to the extent that a previous generation would expect. ashlee: that is absolutely right. elon and spacex started in about 2002 and that was kind of this proving point, that a private individual could start

earlier, i spoke with bloomberg technology's ashlee vance, who wrote the book on elon musk. an look at the s and x sales, but the model-3 remains this maker big product -- this make or break product for tesla. over the weekend, we heard from elon they will ship about 30 model-3's this month. the good news is this car is arriving much earlier than tesla products tend to arrive. it's almost on time. the bad news, of course, is that they are talking about kind of hand making 30 cars, and this is definitely not mass production like we are used to seeing from other automakers. but, really, over the next year, two years, it's how the model-3 sells that will define tesla. if you are an investor of the company, the only way to share price makes any sense right now is if the model-3 -- the only way the share price makes any sense right now is if the model-3 does well. caroline: the selloff we saw today -- that seems to be digesting those numbers we got late monday, prior to the u.s. holiday, coming from model s, model x sales, and they did seem to disappoint. is there an issue that po

ashlee vance talks about ashlee vance talks about satellites.'m 43 years old i figure satellites as these huge behemoth things. we are talking about satellites the size of a boombox. an old radio. they are going up in the space and think you can almost carry into a briefcase. the start of technologies around space and how it is capturing satellite imagery. that they can monitor events going on in ukraine from a satellite the size of a briefcase and track that visibility. we are being watched all the time from everywhere. whether you think it's a good thing or a bad thing, it is happening. i think this really gets to the heart of that race for space and how fundamentally it has changed and how cheap it is getting. carol: you mentioned companies you know, but there are companies that you don't maybe focus on. tencent. it's one of those stories. megan: they have 940 million active users. it obviously has the we chat chat app, its main thing. in china, people spend an average of four hours on it. it's embedded in everything you do from ordering in a

we spoke with ashlee vance and asking how important the company's upcoming model 3 will be for investors: we can look at the s and x sales, but the model 3 is this make or break product for tesla. over the weekend, we heard from elon they will ship about 30 model 3's this month. the good news is the car is arriving much earlier than tesla products tend to arrive. it is almost on-time. the bad news, of course, they are talking about hand making 30 cars and this is definitely not mass production like we're used to seeing from other automakers. but over the next year to two years it is how the model 3 cells that will define tesla. if you are an investor, the only way the share price makes any sense is if the model 3 does well. caroline: when looking at the slight selloff we saw today in tesla share price, that seems to also be digesting those numbers we got late monday, prior to the u.s. holiday. coming from model s and x sales. they did seem to disappoint. is there an issue that potentially that there is a plateau going on here? ashlee: tesla seemed to blame some of the lackluster sales on

issue, ashlee vance goes into issues. still think of satellite as these huge mishima things up there. satellitesng about that are the size of a boombox. a radio that are going up into space. things you can carry in a briefcase and watch 100 satellites, companies with startup technology around space and capturing satellite imagery. as a little bit that talks about how you can monitor what's going on in ukraine from a satellite sizable briefcase and really track that. we are being watched all the time from everywhere. where you think is a good thing were a bad thing, it's happening. i think this really gets the heart of that race for space and how fundamentally a has changed and how cheap it is getting. cool: you mentioned what's about this issue, it's companies you know and companies you know maybe focus on asia. $.10 is one of those. use 940 million active users. and this is the most staggering statistic. app, and ine chat china, people spend an average of four hours. it's embedded in everything we do, from what you order
