We were able to see the return of the Boeing Starliner capsule from our house here in Tucson. Very cool! #Boeing #Starliner #Tucson Whats Up Tucson

Jennifer Nettles covers Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days" then joins Ben Harper on "I'm on Fire" at the 2009 Kennedy Center Honors. Jennifer Nettles has an unusual, strong and beautiful voice. What a great tribute to Bruce. #BruceSpringsteen

The current strategy of running fiber-optical cables to rural households is insanely costly & inefficient. Imagine if instead they just bought Starlink terminals from day one.

So sad. I spent years out in that desert. Those are amazing trees and they grow in very limited ecosystems. This what "environmentalism" has become now.

SpaceX created the first fully reusable rocket stage and, much more importantly, made the reuse economically viable. Making life multiplanetary is fundamentally a cost per ton to Mars problem. It currently costs about a billion dollars per ton of useful payload to the surface

The first Starships to Mars will launch in 2 years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens. These will be uncrewed to test the reliability of landing intact on Mars. If those landings go well, then the first crewed flights to Mars will be in 4 years. Flight rate will

Though after the point where they finally realized spotted owls were not declining from the timber industry, but because of other owls moving in to the territory, and the "environmentalist" response was "shoot the owls", I should have been past surprise.

All laws should have a sunset provision that they expire in ten years unless someone is willing to actively defend them and get them renewed

Make it official and explicit (currently implicit) NASA policy to support human settlement of space, including Mars. COSPAR rules and similar must treat human settlement as a valid stakeholder in discussion of planetary protection rules, not something to be implicitly forbidden.

Iโ€™m convinced this is one of the most undervalued plots of land in the world. If Mexico turned Baja into a special economic zone with privileges for international investment and long term land rights, and massively increased security, we are talking of trillions in investment

Everyone should be able to self-asses the tax burden of their real estate so long as they are forced to sell at that value if offered

Saying Nuclear Power can't be built for cheap is like saying Rockets can't land themselves. Nuclear power was on a progressive learning rate right up until the formation of the DoE, after which the learning rate became negative and each additional MWh became more expensive

This amazes me each time I see it, what is happening in Poland is nothing short of economic wonder. Standard of living in Poland overtaking Spain & Italy within just one generation is simply amazing. Capitalism and free market are the only proven way out of socialist poverty.

My takeaway is that the Russians are relatively unsophisticated in their influence campaigns. The best you can get is a few YouTubers, seriously? Be like the Chinese and get your personnel in top positions in the New York governorโ€™s office and the top American defense

Peter Hague Elon Musk People talk about โ€˜Elon Timeโ€™, but letโ€™s not forget about all the short sellers taking a bath in 2018 (I think?) when, against all expectations, Tesla hit its 5000 cars per month production target exactly when Elon said it would.

Jason Brownlee Peter Hague Elon Musk People act like Elon's companies are always late on everything. But Starlink has been launching at an incredible pace. The Model S launched on time, as did the Model 3. The Model Y lanced early, and quickly became the best selling car in the world.
