Two rockets in two days, Pride Month among the technorati and novel self-driving allegiances. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for June 26, 2017.

1. SpaceX launches and lands two rockets in 48 hours

SpaceX is getting very close to achieving their vision of speedy, reusable rockets that can be launched in quick succession. The company pulled off two launches this weekend, one on Friday and one on Sunday.

These were on opposite coasts, but it's no less impressive – plus, SpaceX also recovered BOTH rockets' first stage boosters, despite challenging landings at sea aboard floating drone ships. For Friday's launch, it was the second time the rocket was launched and recovered. I love it when a plan comes together.

2. How tech co's are celebrating Pride Month

June is Pride Month, and most tech companies are recognizing it in some way or another. Taylor counts the ways, including pointing out ways that count the most above and beyond fun surface stuff. Not that fun surface stuff isn't also appreciated.

3. Avis and Waymo team up on self-driving

In the self-driving race, there will be many winners. Avis' new deal with Waymo shows what might be an under-appreciated area where legacy players can add value: Service, storage and maintenance of autonomous fleets.

4. YouTube's collaborative viewing platform opens to all

YouTube's experiment in co-op viewing, Uptime, is no longer a gated invite-only project. Anyone can get on board, if you want to watch with friends and throw emojis at videos like you're living in some kind of Black Mirror outtake.

5. Pandora's CEO will reportedly step down

Pandora founder Tim Westergren will reportedly step down as CEO. The executive took over as CEO in 2016, but business has been rough for the online radio tech pioneer.

6. Justin Caldbeck properly quits Binary Capital

After it came to light that Binary Capital partner and co-founder Justin Caldbeck engaged in extremely inappropriate behavior towards female founders, he announced a leave of absence. That has now become a proper resignation – and partner Matt Mazzeo has also quit, looking like he wants to distance himself from any association with the firm's tarnished rep.

7. Which begs the question...

Why now? That's what Sarah Buhr seeks to answer in this thoughtful piece on Caldbeck's outing and what preceded it, making this a key moment in Silicon Valley in terms of breaking the silence on toxic tech culture.
