Aerospace is the place
Offroad ground autonomy also cool I guess
Permitting Reform or Death

@Robotbeat I like the idea of a Mars colony blended perfectly into the land with only windows and doors showing. The rest left in its natural shape

[SpaceCrazedOptimist @CynicSpace]

@Robotbeat A starlink bus or similar with a flat telescope like https://t.co/wHsz2wSqOi either with a lot of fuel and engines to stay low or elliptical orbit to reduce thrust requirements...
Also "trawler" designs are always possible with only the sensor at 100km and the rest much higher

@deltaIV9250 Would be nice if NASA started on a family of 50+ ton probes for 2035. Launched by fully refuelled Starships (they are already betting on this with Artemis)

Maybe even a sample return with that kind of mass budget

This is how SpaceX, a $200 billion dollar company, fills out a Federal permit application after having 110 days to do so

[Robotbeat🗽 ➐ @Robotbeat]

*sigh*

[SpaceCrazedOptimist @CynicSpace]

@ESGhound If the laws are dumb, the only thing dumber is delaying your xyz billion $ space program because you can't be bothered to spend 0.0001% of your budget complying with local laws

Basic drainage laws of all things

And filling out the paperwork with more than single sentences

[SpaceCrazedOptimist @CynicSpace]

@deltaIV9250 Would be fair enough especially with condition that lander components are built to be launched by any large enough launcher

[SpaceCrazedOptimist @CynicSpace]

@ESGhound It's often the same in reverse unfortunately

[SpaceCrazedOptimist @CynicSpace]

@h_thoreson Other similar tech like global internet satellite constellations (starlink and oneweb) are far more impactful globally for example.

[SpaceCrazedOptimist @CynicSpace]

@h_thoreson I'm convinced 90% of the 5G hype was China pushing their main/only tech advantage as much as possible.

The use case where: 4G isn't fast enough, and wifi/wired is not available, and its worth installing a $$ antenna, is really, really small.

@CJHandmer @hamandcheese Isn't $2.5/kg around $20/mmbtu or > 10x natural gas prices?
I guess the tax credit would be a great bridge to improve.

does provide a hydrocarbon price cap for all future civilisation of roughly $110 per barrel of oil equiv. Maybe half that in 5 years... Nice.

@Devon_Eriksen_ Setting prices on their platform isn't communism and neither is a company doing a service a worker(?!?)
Is it abusing market share to take advantage? yes. Supermarkets do it all the time to suppliers
Free market at work
sucks to be a seller in a monopsony
go to their competition

[Danielle Fong 🔆 @DanielleFong]

late to party 'cause I had to finish off my Sankey/Aella diagram 🤷🏻‍♀️

[SpaceCrazedOptimist @CynicSpace]

@DanielleFong a direct comparison to other more traditional methods would be great

[SpaceCrazedOptimist @CynicSpace]

@DrChrisCombs Sound is still moving outward at same speed though right? Touches aircraft because shockwave can't move out of the way before more bits hit it.
Is the shock wave just trigonometry where opposite is speed of sound and adjacent is speed of vehicle?
Late sonic boom because high?

@HaydenKSmith @Dominic2306 @MrBrendanCox "They cant (choose) to join nato as we have a historical connection so we will invade and subjugate them to our whim??" and this somehow means we cant send aid?
Either way it doesn't matter what he thinks or believes, its empire building and shouldn't be tolerated

[SpaceCrazedOptimist @CynicSpace]

@tologistru @Dominic2306 @MrBrendanCox bruh moment

[SpaceCrazedOptimist @CynicSpace]

@tologistru @Dominic2306 @MrBrendanCox Dominic Cummings seems to think that setting a precedent that any nuclear armed nation can invade any non-nuclear nation and know they wont get help from abroad. and so Forcing every country to then either get nukes themselves or try to join NATO (apparently grounds for invasion)

[SpaceCrazedOptimist @CynicSpace]

@tologistru @Dominic2306 @MrBrendanCox The wider point though is whatever he gives as a reason for invading doesn't matter. Its an invasion of a sovereign nation and we should do what we can within our escalation risk tolerance to stop it
