@LanceRoberts @MilkRoadMacro That's the Studio's page link. So I don't have permission to see that at the link. Is this the right link?:

Intro is good, and I agree with the premise in the title!

@CatboyRocketry @SciGuySpace Jared is embodying real leadership instead of playing politics.

@realhomerhickam @SenKatieBritt @MarsTweep @NASA @NASA_Marshall @blueorigin As soon as next year Starship by itself will exponentiate humanity's mass to orbit capabilities. What do we do with that?! No one's really ready because even now few believe. But that's what all of NASA needs to be working on!

[Rodney @RodneyT272]

What about the "human-rated" part. G. Gemini says EUS is designed to be so, whereas the Centaur V currently is not (but it's predecessor was for Starliner). Getting Centaur V human rated would cost and each unit would likely cost at least a bit more and maybe design analysis for SLS to use it and still keep it's rating may add up to a lot.

@JoelSercel @SciGuySpace A small, efficient nuclear engine in Starship for deep space travel, and keeping the 3 sea level Raptors for landings, would do better. .. But for the fear driven planning!

@WizZifnab @Erdayastronaut This! SpaceX will have 10s of tankers in orbit, most full, when the Earth-to-Mars window opens to be able to send many 10s to 100s of Starships to Mars in that window. But also the Moon as well... but almost any time.

@spacesudoer They can't possibly delay it forever. So they end up just adding their 50 boats' fuel and oil exhaust plus the red flares' exhaust to the marine environment. Most excellent thoughtfulness and care they are showing to their turtles! 🙄

@DKellerCMT I was looking for your show this week. Glad to hear you're on vacay and hadn't dropped it! Hope you have a great time and get lots of new subs when you get back!

@DJSnM I sure hope AI will one day make it a lot safer, and easier such that it takes just a little more work to learn and be safe than driving a car. NASA's been working on this but without AI for decades now.

[Rodney @RodneyT272]

@NorthmanTrader We would've never gotten anything like DOGE from the DNC. Now at least the waste is much more visible.

[Rodney @RodneyT272]

@AJamesMcCarthy Very nice work! Don't worry... Our brain's optical->recognition system does a lot more questionable techniques than we realize.

[Rodney @RodneyT272]

@shinynewnickel @CryptoicClash @DariusDale42 The Ford Willow Run Bomber Plant - largest factory in the world then, construction began March 1941, by mid 1944 it was producing one B-24 per hour, half of the B-24s produced that year. So, we did build new, large, complex factories in less time than thought possible before.

[Rodney @RodneyT272]

The US was in WWII for roughly 4 years. Means it took roughly 2 years to build the factories needed to win. The tech level then is roughly the same as now. And the Manhattan project was definitely a higher tech level. If we (US) try, we can build faster. We can shift money from the IRA, aka the Green New Deal, to a Tech New Deal. Besides, the IP is either here or in EU (ASML). Taiwan is already talking about negotiating with US over the tariffs. And China's econ is already poor. Any real length of time with these tariffs would push it down further. Their economic ally Russia is also in no real position to help. So all China is doing now is posturing.

[Rodney @RodneyT272]

@NorthmanTrader Not untrue, but it can depend a lot on the situation. Being on a raft in the middle of the ocean is no fun, but on a big nice cruise ship is great. A Martian permanent settlement city could be awesome. 38% the gravity of Earth could make for interesting new inside sports.

[Rodney @RodneyT272]

@Jtmon3y @NorthmanTrader Also, take a look here: https://t.co/FOXkLFLBv2
Pledge to give away 50% or more. "As of June 2022, the pledge has had 236 signatories from 28 countries." That'll be well over $300B. That's almost infinitely more than me and 235 of my friends could ever give away!

[Rodney @RodneyT272]

@Jtmon3y @NorthmanTrader Most is in shares of the companies they own. The growth and promise of growth of the shares' value give incentives to their owners (many of which work at those companies) to work to create value. Kiyosaki's book Rich Dad Poor Dad does a great job of explaining.

[Rodney @RodneyT272]

@Jtmon3y @NorthmanTrader Where?

[Rodney @RodneyT272]

@NorthmanTrader It's a stepping stone. A necessary one. Unless you're okay with humanity going the way of the dinosaurs one day. The problem is we do not know which day. You know this game. It's coming and we don't know when, which really does mean it could be tomorrow.
