One stock that really shot for the moon this week was Intuitive Machines.

That's the space exploration company that landed a vehicle on the moon earlier this year, you know, bringing the U.S.

back to the moon for the first time in 50 years.

I guess the pun lands better with that context, especially if you also know that the stock's ticker is lunar.

On Tuesday, Intuitive announced that it was awarded a NASA contract worth up to $4.8 billion to provide communication and navigation services for the Artemis campaign, aimed at establishing a long-term U.S.

The sit-down chain's parent company, Darden Restaurants, announced this new deal on Thursday.

Basically, starting with select Olive Garden locations later this year, you'll be able to order your pasta and breadsticks through the Olive Garden app and have it delivered by Uber's network of drivers.
voice-verified
I know you all know how food delivery works, and you might be thinking, uh, yeah, tons of restaurant chains have been delivering this whole time, especially since the pandemic, you know, what's the big deal?
voice-verified
Well, Darden's been a notable, long-standing holdout here, refusing to allow third-party companies to deliver its food on a large scale because it says it erodes profit and sullies the guest experience.
