How much of NYC would you need to cover in solar panels to turn it into a net exporter of electricity? NYC uses about 50 TWh of electricity per year. NYC has ~780 square kilometers of land area, and a GHI of 4 kWh/m^2/day, giving a primary solar resource of ~1,100 TWh/year -

Americans last year: “stop noncitizen voting” Dems last year: “noncitizens don’t vote” Americans: “sometimes they do” Dems this year: “noncitizens rarely vote” Americans: “noncitizens shouldn’t vote but some have voted—pass the SAVE Act!” Dems: “no”

Space X recently shared that plates added to the hot staging ring were to help with more control in how it performs the flip for boostback. They have now added plates to seal off a section using the restriction of raptor exhaust to help it move in the orientation they want.

Elon Musk inspires me to work harder, smarter, and dream bigger. The man is a legitimate icon.

Photovoltaics and batteries are a literal decentralization of power. Remember that. The most basic research or personal experience refutes the propaganda. Solar “takes up too much space” when your roof can harvest 3x as much energy as you use? When panels on a single parking

We are in the best season for $TSLA right now Elon is back !! Robotaxi is around corner! Let’s freaking goooooo!!! Man I’m so bullish 🚀🚀🚀

"solar uses too much land" Does New York City use "too much" land? Solar doesn't work because your favorite energy source uses less land than... a rooftop?

Zack's repair was a perfect demonstration of the work the team put in hand in hand with service to consider repairability in the design. Crashes happen and lowering the cost of repair lowers the cost of insurance, and improves overall cost of ownership. Couple that with low

Saying that you can’t power a rocket with solar panels is as silly as saying you can’t power a rocket with gas wells. Yeah. Not directly — obviously. A rocket doesn’t have to be attached to a well to use gas from a well.

There's a LOT of people misunderstanding this. This is a win-win situation if it fails or not. If it fails, we'll be directly in the reentry corridor. We'll get spectacular footage of that. If it SUCCEEDS, we'll get incredible close-tracking of SECO and the subsequent propellant
