NEWS: Less than 1% of EV owners switch back to gas-powered cars after making the purchase, according to a new Global EV Driver Survey, which includes over 23,000 people from 18 countries.
"Reports of declining EV popularity are greatly exaggerated,” says Petter Haugneland, Assistant Secretary General of The Norwegian EV Association.
Results show that lower operating costs are the most important motivation for buying an EV. “This should serve as an eye-opener for policymakers worldwide. While a vibrant electric vehicle market is crucial for reducing climate emissions from road transport, achieving this goal hinges on making EVs an even more affordable option for all,” says Ellen Hiep, board member of the Dutch Electric Vehicle Drivers Association.

🚨 VOYAGER 1: STILL OUTPERFORMING YOUR PHONE BATTERY AT 47
NASA has revived Voyager 1, 15.4 billion miles away, after a glitch left the spacecraft silent for weeks.
The issue? A heater mishap caused it to switch to a weaker transmitter.
Engineers fixed it, and communication resumed Nov. 18.
Running on decaying plutonium, Voyager’s four instruments operate colder than a freezer but keep sending data.
Launched in 1977, it’s explored Jupiter, Saturn, and beyond, now coasting through interstellar space like the ultimate mic drop.

Our best 4K tracking and slow mo compilation yet!!! The beautiful afternoon lighting really made for quite an incredible show! Huge shout out to the amazing @considercosmos / Everyday Astronaut team that made these shots possible! #starship#flight6
My B-role shot of Starship launch from space station. The action was partially blocked by a solar panel and I thought the composition was ruined. However, on a second look-see, I thought this flaw gave it a dose of orbital reality.
Neil Degrasse Tyson criticizes Elon's plan to go to Mars:
Maher: "Can Elon Musk realistically send humans to Mars?"
NDT: "I have strong views on that:
For him just say 'Let's go to Mars because it's the next thing to do.'
What does that venture capitalist meeting look like?:
Elon what do you want to do?
'Go to Mars'
How much will it cost?
'1 trillion dollars'
What's the return on investment?
'Nothing'
That's a 5 minute meeting."
Thank you guy who plays scientist on TV.
Flight 6 SuperHeavy booster’s transonic moment in slow motion is mesmerizing!!! Another incredible tracking shot from Ryan, @considercosmos! Still working on our slow mo compilation, hope to have it out this weekend! Standby!
"We got to weightlessness, I immediately turned upside down and looked at the planet and then there was so much blackness. There was so much space. I didn’t expect to see so much space, and I kept saying that’s our planet! That’s our planet! It was the same feeling I got when my kids were born, and I was like, ‘That's my baby! That’s my baby!’ I had that same feeling where I’m seeing it for the first time, and it was beautiful."— Emily Calandrelli, NS-28 Astronaut
