He has the privilege of not being driven by money, because he's very rich and was born to rich parents. He's done some good things for sure. But his slide into unhingedness has been very, very ugly.
I agree for the most part... but only very rich people can afford to buy a Tesla, and as much as I wish they would, I don't think the average American (at least the average Australian anyway) who is trying to feed their family and live a good life gives a fuck about self-landing rockets or moving to Mars. I also vehemently disagree with your last statement. There are millions of people out there with ideas for forward-thinking technology and solutions (a lot of them unable to do anything with their ideas because they're not white and not rich), and the hole would have been filled were there no Musk.
Elon Musk scares the shit out of his investors. His own boards try to shut him up all the time. In order to break the monopoly, you need someone like that. I’m rambling at this point, but whatever. Just because the guy is an asshole doesn’t mean he’s a big conman Richard Branson.
But his kid has a cool name, one that will surely prevent him from being beat up at school.
that was so cool. kinda surprised that rocket doesn't need any boosters at all.
i've been playing so much KSP lately that my first thought when the second stage separated away was "they don't have any way to terminate that debris, i hope it doesn't stay up there forever", neglecting to remember that LE orbits actually decay IRL
Q - I keep reading that this is the first time Americans have blasted into space in nearly a decade - but there's been a heap of American astronauts on the ISS in that time hasn't there?
Hello hello! Has anyone had a chance to see comet NEOWISE? If not go out and see it. It will still be visible for a few more days. Here is a photo I took of it last Saturday about 1.5 hour drive from my home!
I'll have to see if I can find it online somewhere-the Weather Channel showed footage earlier this evening of a time lapse video of a thunderstorm rolling through somewhere yesterday, I think it was, and amidst the clouds and the lightning you could see a flash of the comet sailing by. It was really awesome.
