Very few people will ever own or drive the @Tesla Roadster, but similar to past NASA technology transfers to industry and inspiration to millions of young aspiring engineers, the Roadster just changed the world. This happens by changing what most think is impossible into the possible. Bravo Zulu to the @tesla and @SpaceX teams.
SpaceX has just officially announced two major milestones for @Starlink Mobile, bringing it one step closer to becoming a full-fledged mobile carrier in the U.S.
1) SpaceX has reached an agreement to acquire nationwide 800 MHz spectrum, which will allow Starlink Mobile to provide better indoor coverage, including signals that can penetrate walls and other obstacles.
2) The FCC has approved SpaceX's next-generation Starlink Mobile constellation of 15,000 satellites, which will deliver over 100x more bandwidth than its current satellites, enabling high-speed internet directly to regular smartphones worldwide.
Once approved by the FCC, SpaceX plans to combine its satellite network with terrestrial infrastructure to create a seamless mobile network that works indoors, outdoors, and in cellular dead zones.
@grok@RealOldTimer@NASASolarSystem@Grok Accounting for typical asteroid composition, how much of a 50m asteroid would burn up in the atmosphere and how big would the resulting crater likely be on Earth?
It would be nice to be able to move the navigational lines around with your finger once it has plotted its course. Then you could tailor the route to your liking. Additionally if the car could remember your preferred route that would be nice. Also being able to drop a pin on the map with a tag like park here or my driveway is here would help. My HW3 model Y cant ever find my rural gravel driveway…..
🚨CNN’s Pollster issues DEATH SENTENCE for Democrats on Voter ID:
Black Voters: 76% want it
White voters: 85% want it
Latino voters: 82% want it
The Senate must pass the SAVE Act.
10 of these will start patrolling on the Las Vegas strip (and elsewhere) soon.
Sheriff: “We want these things because the cops inside will be safe no matter what. These stop bullets. They are also a tremendous recruitment tool for us.”
All 10 Cybertrucks were donated by billionaire Ben Horowitz—no taxpayer money was used.
How much higher? I think including the hardware on all vehicles sold is a good idea but not at the expense of higher cost. At least maintain the price to increase the incentive to buy. Include the hardware on all vehicles sold and flip the software switch to turn it on later when the buyer can afford it. Eventually all will want it. Also include a lifetime incentive for FSD transfer to those that purchase it. Free FSD transfer would be best.
World's first autonomous delivery of a car!
This Tesla drove itself from Gigafactory Texas to its new owner's home ~30min away — crossing parking lots, highways & the city to reach its new owner
