"China's BYD has unveiled a new battery system it says can charge an electric vehicle in just five minutes, which could help it capture further share from direct rivals like Tesla."

Tesla isn't an innovator. Has Musk decided to abandon Tesla to concentrate on destroying most of the fed govt for #privatization & ensure it heavily subsidizes SpaceX?

Sounds entirely reasonable.

(to me; being someone who knows just enough physics and engineering to be dangerous. )

Maga on Mars is probably not going to happen..

" #Spacex and #NASA are facing a sunk cost fallacy."

"But how did SpaceX get here? Why have they spent billions of dollars of taxpayer money on a concept that has such a fundamental problem?

Simple. #Musk isn’t an engineer and doesn’t understand iterative design, and now SpaceX and NASA are facing a sunk cost fallacy."

Appropriate.

Appropriate.

Um Monate verspätet: "Gestrandete" NASA-Astronauten haben ISS verlassen

Eigentlich sollten Suni Williams und Barry Wilmore nur Tage auf der ISS bleiben, dann musste ihr Raumschiff leer zurück. Nun konnten sie die Heimreise antreten.

#ElonMusk’s #Starlink Expands Across #WhiteHouse Complex

Starlink, the satellite internet service operated by #Musk’s #SpaceX, is now accessible across the White House campus. It is the latest installation of the Wi-Fi network across the govt since Musk joined the #Trump administration as an *unpaid* [if you don’t count all the extra contracts he’s gotten] adviser.

SpaceX Has Finally Figured Out Why Starship Exploded, And The Reason Is Utterly Embarrassing

｢ Over 50 years ago, NASA was able to get its Saturn V, a rocket nearly as large as Starship, to fly without ever having a failed launch over its 13-launch, six-year operational lifespan. This was a rocket designed with computers less powerful than a Casio watch ｣

NASA’s stuck astronauts welcome their newly arrived replacements to the space station.

@AssociatedPress reports: "The four newcomers — representing the U.S., Japan and Russia — will spend some time learning the station’s ins and outs from Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams," who are scheduled to finally return home later this week.
