@donmcgowan "killed the EV market stone dead"
This will age well.
It could perhaps be a slight hyperbole
Let's wait and see if there is still a remaining EV market in 12 months

@FuSchmu@newscientist@TimHarford@BBCMoreOrLess Thanks
Mars orbit is much more eccentric than that of Earth - so I can't just assume it to be circular.
Max and min (M Km)
E- 146, 152
M- 207, 249
So separation ranges
207-152=55
249+152=401
Equivalent to light travel time of:
3.1 mins
22.3 mins
- difficult to have a chat
@FuSchmu@newscientist@TimHarford@BBCMoreOrLess
Enjoyed your article, question ref delay for earth to mars comms
If earth orbit is ~8 light minutes=e
mars is ~12 light mins=m
closest will be =m-e = 4 mins
And longest = m+e=20 mins
How did you arrive at 24?
Did you double m?
@Ben_Spencer@thetimes Enjoyed the article.
Are you confusing processing power with storage here?
A 64GB iphone has 64GB of storage.
Current iPhones processor A17 is stated as having 19 billion transistors.
