I don't see this as a bad thing, maybe china landing people on the moon before us will light a fire on both sides of the aisle to stop fucking around with commercial space contracts.
Over-reliance on SpaceX is causing the same problems to Artemis that over-reliance on Boeing caused the SLS program. A year and a half behind schedule, blown their entire budget on a meme rocket that only potentially lifts half the tonnage promised.
I would not say Johnny Harris is a reliable source
The thesis also elicited that elite overproduction tends to favor political change in the dispossessed elite's favor
It posits most revolutions, including communist revolutions, were pushed by elites who weren't given the station they were promised.
It's your queries + your IP combined with the rest of the data the net collects from you that identifies you.
Anyone from the local llama communities experienced with Gemma models?
I've heard good things but I only use Mistral because it's proved the most versatile.
Ah yes the "skip the realities of building orbital megastructures" phase of capitalism.
Can we get like, uh, a space elevator first?
Nationalizing SpaceX would probably be financially disasteous (seeing as how Musk has to keep pulling money from his businesses to fund twitter, and to buy out Gwynne Shotwell, who was approached by Boeing to be their new CEO in late 2022)
Most people assume Musk's businesses are all on incredibly shaky ground financially and are propped up entirely though hype and speculative credit.
I've been curious about google coral, but their memory is so tiny I'm not sure what kinds of models you can run on them
It's good that nobody knows how to use a sextant or a fax machine.
Modern Naval officers are taught to do navigation by starlight for backup purposes. Cause GPS ain't that infallible.
And then right after he posts this fucking video of himself playing Diablo 2 while in a SpaceX launch review meeting:
If nothing else the atproto is pretty great, we're starting to see a proper federated net start opening up around it.
The falcon rockets are fine but SpaceX has been raising prices on their launches since they won the majority of the contracts.
It used to cost 20 million a seat on the Soyuz until Russia became the sole provider of crewed launches, then they raised the price to about 80 million a seat.
Along comes musk and promises 20 million a seat and low and behold after the contracts are fulfilled they raise the price to 80 million as well.
SpaceX is falling into the same rut every company that becomes a monopoly enters into, and Starship is Musk's personal meme rocket the taxpayer has already shelled out 4 billion for, and there's not even a launch with a working payload.
SpaceX looks cool flashy as shit but they over-promise and under-deliver at the same rate Tesla does. Early success giving way to overconfidence and an inability to deliver on their lofty promises.
