If there is one from Everyday Astronaut and an official one from SpaceX (Twitter video link?) can someone please post it here for quick reference ?

.. and don't forget Envia Systems, a next gen high energy density battery manufacturer promising 600 wh/Kg., but later turned out all to be just a fraud. GM funded and partnered with them

Which is no different than a natural event like a rain?

Pig with wings ? Who is that? Other site?

Most of the shorters are like career criminals. They just can't let go of the habit. They make a lot of money in one big heist and become very popular and a darling of financial media. Media puts them in a pedestal. The always get prefixed with glorifying adjectives like: who correctly called...

Your analogy here clearly explains the problem. The fact that FWS needs several months lead time for approval is the real problem here. So what should SpaceX do here? apply for approval for the next 8 launches, if they are planning to launch one every month? I used to work for a company where...

Now Lying Lopez is working on another hit piece titled, "Why Tesla's price increases are a losing business strategy"

.. all right. Lets not disturb the echo chambers. I will not offer my opinion here going forward, but sure will come and post news items and opinions (links) of observers, that might not fit the black & white world view of the active members of this thread.

.. and don't forget the panel gaps between the stages.. ULA has mastered the assembly, while SpaceX makes shoddy stage alignments.

Russia has ZERO interests to occupy and annexe Ukraine. Primarily because they know they do not have the economic, political and military wherewithal to make that happen. Russia's primary goals are: - While Ukraine can maintain its independence economically and politically, make sure it does...

All right. Lets look at how far this true. White House Delivers Bad News on Ukraine Aid

How does something that is in geo stationary orbit, be reusable? I mean there is no way it is going to deorbit from there and land. The energy required will be just enormous, and even then the reentry speeds are much higher than anything in LEO

Vivek says, don't get caught up in little local skirmishes, when the real existential danger for America is China. Do whatever it takes to keep China under control, if it means losing a bit of a ground somewhere else. A US-Europe-Russia-India alliance will keep China out of Taiwan without any...

Russia, if there is not one today, is working on preventing an existential crisis by not allowing Ukraine to join NATO. Ukraine joining NATO will be very bad for Russia's security and also economically. They need unfettered land access to Black sea which NATO can cut off anytime if Ukraine...

Frunks are so overrated...

The delusion I see in this thread of 'bad evil Russia that should be eliminated from the face of the earth', and 'Ukraine is winning the war' is mindboggling. Lets face it, Russia is a spent force, both militarily and economically and is not a threat. But because this is an existential crisis...

You mean pay protection money to the media mafia?

Nitpick: I hate the ".00" at the end of the big numbers which has zero value addition, except to make a long number seem even more bigger. What might be useful is to round them off to make it visually easier to read but till convey the message. Like: $230M, -$764M, $69M

But perhaps the additional weight of heavier steel (compared to Aluminum) negates the advantage of not carrying extra fuel..? I am sure SpaceX would have all the details, but the decision to use steel has one key disadvantage of higher weight and many advantages of which one of them is the...

You need to have all three burns for the booster - boostback, entry and landing burn. Without entry burn the booster will hit the atmosphere at a pretty high speed, assuming the speed at MECO is comparable with F9.

Why no entry burn for booster? Entry burn is to reduce the speed the craft hits the atmosphere

is there a rentry burn to slow down ? And a landing burn?

Something seems amiss with the boostback trajectory. After MECO and separation the booster is shown flying west (reverse direction) for a short period. That means it has zeroed the eastward velocity and gained some velocity in the reverse (westward) direction. YET later the graphic shows the...

I say, nuke Panama and push it into the ocean and connect Atlantic to Pacific directly. Canals are so last century. Worth it for getting my Tesla two days earlier.

No issues so far... loving it. Although I miss Tapatalk :-(

Calm down. If someone spouts nonsense (I am not suggesting the message in that post is nonsense) on TV, you don't blame your Panasonic TV, do you? Twitter is just a medium where people share information. If you think the source is not credible, you may have a point. In this case the source is...

You meant to say, bald?

Huh ..??

okay.. thanks for that video. So this is still in drawing board. Make it happen and then we will talk about reusability, cost savings etc..

Lora Fraudaliny. When someone here earlier wrote, "Excellent coverage from Lora ..", I literally puked.

How are they recovering the engines? fishing it out from the ocean bed?

Forget both the coasts. You have to be able to launch and send something beyond Karman line.

This obsession on 0-60 on a utility vehicle like a pickup truck is just plain crazy. I hope they have the same obsession on the range.

Hope there are other real restaurants with some real food other than just this bakery.

I always wondered what would the orbits of satellites released from ISS and Space Shuttle be ? Won’t it always directly be in the path of ISS (and Shuttle)?

I think you are missing the spirit of Gigapress's message. The car loan might be marginally lower due to dramatic cut in Telsa pricing, but overall the purchasing power of the consumer for luxury or premium items has come down due to inflation (and interest rates) and people are more cautious...

Any data or self serving opinion I see in MSM is suspect. Media desperately wants us to believe that sales are plummeting (which is not true) due to Elon's political disposition (which is also not true).

Not counting the ones in Dallas or Austin itself, with this there are 11 Superchargers between Dallas & Austin on I35, within a distance of 200 miles. And the same number between Dallas and Houston

What is "clickbait" journalism?: Ignore what 80% of the consumers use. Check out the fringe crap already rejected by the consumers, and then blame the entire market segment. https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-a-long-strange-and-unsatisfying-ev-trip-its-been-68c6e28c

This is a really cool demo. All along I was thinking the increase in speed of the spacecraft due to gravity assist is primarily a function of the gravity (or mass) of the planet. But actually it is a function of how fast the planet is orbiting the sun. The gravity just changes the direction...

Usual clickbait crap, or something good is brewing here?

Sub Orbital

Two words that debunks your statement: Karman line !! :D

what, your Honda Insight gives you 70 miles to a gallon?

I don't care about Movies. Give me TMC, Twitter and maybe Youtube access.

I have said this many times here. Green is a drama queen. He is an attention seeker. He whines. He nit picks. He exaggerates. He oversells his (reasonably good) knowledge on Tesla software and FSD.

oh boy! those panel gaps...! :rolleyes: :oops:

Yes !!. My experience working with my coworkers and my team suggests working from home has been highly productive with much higher employee morale and satisfaction. Everyone hates the productivity loss from long commutes. A design discussion or stand up at 8 am gets close to 100% attendance...

What does this mean for V12 roll out ?
