Just a thought, but have been reading over the years about a Hydrogen economy, and producing hydrogen by electrolysis ... what's the point?.... we all know that this introduces ineffeficiences... and also hydrogen is very difficult to manage... however there are some niche area where hydrogen...

I would like to think that they would get a Comms licence whatever, as it is a liberal society.. but dont think OneWeb is likely anyway. Elon has a lot of sway in the UK anyway.. he has been given generating licences anyway and could always tangle a gigafactory in the government eyes

The commercial implications for SpaceX. As a UK taxpayer I am not reassured by the fact that we will be spending billions, mainly to subsidise an Indian corporation and pay overseas launch platforms to have an internet system in the Artic... How OneWeb's $1 billion bankruptcy rescue changes the...

Scott Manley is a rational person, so of course it makes no sense. The article below gives the political and ideological background.. driven by the same obsessives that invented Brexit... mainly Dominic Cummings.. a sort of Steve Bannon figure to the more pliable Johnson.. UK’s Rival to Galileo...

As a UK taxpayer I now own a bit of this apparently. Noteworthy that they have already rowed back on the idea that it can work as GPS, which begs the question what are they investing in a commercial high risk venture for. The only viable reason is to provide broadband to India, in which case...

Gets more confusing. I think it actually makes sense for Mittal as an Indian Tech entrepreneur, to get involved.. they have a huge market and need for wireless internet.. the Indians have a space programme with launch vehicles and a strategic agenda .. cant see the point of the UK being...

Hold on... Now Trump apparently is going to block sale due to "national security concerns". Not sure how a bankrupt private company already in partnership with a foreign defence company (Airbus) and formerly financed by a Japanese Investment bank can be so... However this may just be a face...

The looniest Brexit idea yet... Please tell me that my Government has not pissed half a billion pounds in a bankrupt company and probably far more as it will have to fund an entire launch programme for a service that literally no one else will use? 'We've bought the wrong satellites': UK tech...

The White Anglo Saxons have never Marched down to the Brandenburg Gate in the last 100 years.The German Army did so at the end of WW1, and the Russian Communists did in the second...

And of course the angoshere doesn’t count anglophone countries like India, South Africa etc. Unadulterated racist mush to feed the Nativist patsies... It pains me that I and my family have given up tangible freedoms for idiocy like this.

It’s brilliant.. I am sure it’s a great machine... but PickUp trucks in US (not so much in U.K... we have white van man!) are about marketing an engineered masculinity... it’s image... this is making all those Ram Trucks and Fords sold as tough vehicles for tough guys suddenly look aged... those...

I would like it to have an amphibious capability and a kettle point to make your own hot drink!

Thanks

Thanks a lot. That is very useful... 120miles is the distance between London and Birmingham in U.K. whilst London and Manchester is 220miles ... the U.K. Government is contemplating High Speed Rail to link these at a cost of £100 billion!. A toll road between London and Manchester would a lot...

A question that would be useful to get an answer to... How far can a Tesla Model S (or model 3) go, if travelling at 150mph on a straight flat roadway.. with no acceleration or braking... except for start and finish.... would it be greater than 120 Miles?

Simply means working together as a bloc and sharing the message with France Germany etc would have a stronger voice... diiplomacy is not war... although it is said that war is diplomacy carried o; by other means... Anyway weak leadership with pretensions to grandeur is going to get the U.K...

Given that the British were acting under EU sanctions, Johnson could lobby the EU to show unity and state to Iran they stand together... that would be much stronger diplomatically... oh but wait, Johnson is arguing we don’t need the EU...

For a laugh ... this is Mini Trump speaking on Monday... imagine responding like this in a real world Job interview... but for some reason he gets away with it... I did try to use the Murdoch owned Sky News link but for some reason it said “not found” hmmmm.... Johnson says he makes models of...

It’s a Murdoch Rag... Johnson is their monkey ... Polls over the last year have shown a consistent majority for Remain... although in my opinion, being popular is one thing and being correct is another... it all comes down to political leadership and control of the media....

Well that’s the Brexit Fantasy in a nutshell... why would ANY company worldwide invest in Brexit U.K., except for domestic market? Brexit is sold as Patriotism... but it’s not. Citizens of the U.K. don’t gain a single thing, just lose a bunch of rights and freedoms that they take for granted...

The Irish Border is the only land border with the EU and complicted by recent political violence. The Good Friday Agreement is a peace settlement that amongst other things guarantees an open border.. It was hardly mentioned during the Campaign in mainland Britain. The Brexiters also only ever...

Sort of... but realistically it means Remain... unfortunately in 2016,people voted to turn the clock back 50 years... all that’s done is broken the mainspring Whatever your views, gaining 5 million + signatures on a petition is a few days and bringing over a million people out into the streets...

Therein lies the difference between a Presidential system and a Parliamentary system... charisma is not needed as there is no direct vote by Public. May is a perfect example of this... Cooper has shown her true colours in Parliament after the mainstream candidates were steam rollered by an...

No one in their right minds supports a no Deal, let alone “senior Remainers”. Who are they? Even Johnson, Mogg and that gang don’t really wan5 a No Deal... they just want a deal flat has their name not Mays.. I would disagree with your odds... No Deal is virtually impossible ... it’s basically...

I’d put money on Keir Starmer... perhaps the third most senior menber of the Shadow Cabinet, and has the respect of all wings ofthe Lsbour Party... also formerly the most senior Law Officer (Director of Public Prosecutions) in the land so significant brainpower and credibility.. Yvette Cooper...

We are getting away from Tesla here... but Corbyn is undoubtedly anti Semitic... It’s a trait of the Hard Left and there are several strands to it. The first is the old Jewish World Banker trope ... Capitalism is controlled by international Jewry... The second is the Israel/ Palestine conflict...

Corbyn and his minder Milne are quite selective about the wars that they anti... for example support for Russia in Ukraine and Georgia, and support for the IRA armed struggle comes to mind. Corbyn wants the UK to withdraw from NATO .. which is generally has kept the peace in Europe for the last...

Corbyn is unelecticable... And rightly so. I speak as a Labour Party member (now ex). There are many wonderful Labour MPs from David Lammy, Keir Starmer, Yvette Cooper, Stella Creasy, Tom Watson to name a few who are potential leaders... they are Not ´blairitesˋ. That is just a sneer used by the...

Elon Musk is a volatile visionary who breaks the rules - and that's exactly what Tesla needs A rare bit of positive comment about Elon from a right wing British Paper...

Mr AudubonB... I doff my cap to you... Believe me... this is a real disaster... I think my Avatar shows which side I am on.... After twenty months, the Brexiters have not listed one practical benefit of leaving ... now the Cabinet Minister who promoted Brexit as leading us to “Sunny Uplands” now...

The Guardian (UK) continues its anti Musk campaign (for some reason I do not know) with remarkably slanted articles. All they had to do was write like the TMC article or note circumstances like Cosmacelf above... I would still have clicked on the headline, so it can’t be click bait. Elon Musk's...

This is interesting. I seem to remember someone hypothesising the Northrop B2 using a similar technology...a similar power to weight ratio to a jet engine? Cool! I wonder what it’s power consumption is? First ever plane with no moving parts takes flight

So in the U.K. this article appeared in both the left wing Guardian and the right wing Telegraph... no mention of meeting delivery targets or increased production or any of the other real achievements... instead the share price” plunges” on another facetious tweet... You would think if they...

I write from afar and with little knowledge .... but it seems to me the SEC charges are so extraordinary and extreme that they open themselves to counter suits by Musk himself, Tesla, or Tesla shareholders... after all by taking this action they are also manipulating the markets... of course if...

The Guardian in the U.K. is getting hysterical about Musk all the time. Yesterday apparently Musks announcement of a Lunar mission was a distraction method from his being sued by the cave diver! Today they run a piece about him being investigated by the DoJ There is something everyday always...

Why has this happened... well the guy insulted Elon’s engineering prowess, and told him crudely where to stick his submarine. Elon called him a peado, which is about the worst thing you can say about anybody. Then when he didn’t sue, Elon goaded him further... so now he is suing... that is what...

Looks like a cross between the Dodge Charger form Bullit and a 1960s UK Ford Cortina

:p“Only discovered I didn’t have the key fob when I came back to the car after paying for petrol“ Now with a Tesla that would be stupid!

More knocking from the Guardian... https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2018/jun/19/elon-musk-iain-banks-culture-novels?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other I’ve not read the novels but Seems to me that Elon has a better sense of irony and appreciation of the novels than the “literary” journalist...

Yet another piece from The Guardian in the U.K... they tend to be rather negative, certainly blowing up the negatives and diminishing the positives... here’s another article. Tesla workers say they pay the price for Elon Musk's big promises

From The Guardian (UK)... a pretty vitriolic piece... not endorsing it... just putting it up here... Elon Musk: as business fortunes dip, he starts a war with the media

Oh look... Journalist writes snarky commentary about Elon Musks complaints about Snarky comments in the media! PACIFIC • Elon Musk is humiliating himself We all know Elon makes mistakes, but that’s all part of the package... I’ve noticed CNN and other mainstream media outlets aren’t so much...

Not exactly great leadership there... I’m sure he is well qualified, but shouldn’t he be galvanising people and coming up with a strategic vision rather than just whinging... Truth is they have not dismissed reusability for business reasons, but because they have not invested. There is no cap on...

i want one! 'Eco E-Type': Royal newly-weds stun crowds with electrifying style

Yes.. I can confirm they are shutting down.. everyone else is shutting down too after Brexit.... now the British have decided that the rest of the world doesn’t exist, except for a few colonial outposts to which we will still be exporting 1950s Morris’s and Austin’s..... it’s like a whole...

Is the Boring Company ready to compete for contracts elsewhere apart from Musks companies? I am sure that Elon has bigger plans in mind apart from hats, flamethrowers, underground skates and his under the mountain Bond Villains lair!

Not sure if most Customs Agencies appreciate the mischievous humour. Mailing drugs stating “not cocaine” doesn’t work!

He could take up Golf!
