While SpaceX builds the road and vehicles to transport humanity into the great wilderness, hopefully others can start designing the frontier towns that should reside in the many locations that will soon become accessible.

Let me keep it simple to explain how crazy this is. 1/ you put everything you earned to start a company 2/ the investors/owners create a comp package and majority agree that ONLY if you create $X amount of value within 10 yrs, you’ll be compensated $Y 3/ however, if you do…

A new 3D Printer from Shanghai: The printer utilizes a unique spindle-knot extrusion technique, enabling self-supporting structures and greater spatial flexibility than traditional layer-based 3D printing. Looks so good.

First look: @Tesla_Optimus Gen3 on display in Tokyo outskirts of Saitama Shintoshin prefecture. Good look at the actuators.

It’s literally the worst option. Basically the slowest one AND the lowest TRL AND uses more Xenon than the entire world produces. It’s ridiculous.

Our new hand is much closer to a human hand capability. It's even faster and has much more degrees of freedom which will allow us to do many more tasks such as catching a ball which was almost impossible with the previous hand. The form factor is great too, so many motors that…

Got a new hand for Black Friday

Our new hand/forearm with double the number of degrees of freedom now in action on the bot! There’s 22 DoFs on the hand, and 3 on the wrist/forearm. This little video was made last night in the lab (teleoperated) and is real-time. Gives us confidence that we’ll very soon be…

For the #Artemis III mission, @NASA_Orion will dock with @SpaceX's Starship HLS, which will carry astronauts to the lunar surface. Docking procedures and testing are already underway as we continue developing innovations to return humans to the Moon.

The FCC just granted the @Starlink US commercial license for our Direct to Cell program. Thank you @FCC ! docs.fcc.gov/public/attachm…

$1T for an entirely new planet is TINY when you consider the 100s of billions of aid that goes to other countries. Mars can essentially become another one of those countries.


This.

Them: “Elon should save earth instead of going to Mars” Question: What’s stopping you from saving earth right now? Elon Musk wasn’t a billionaire when he founded SpaceX. He was ridiculed and damn near went bankrupt for chasing his dream. Whats stopping you? Do it. Save Earth.

There is value in an audacious mission. Even when the end-goal is not directly capitalizable. The tech required to master Mars is so badass that upon development it turns out to be remarkably valuable on Earth, not least because no other team has the determination to follow that…

Wow, they really don’t get it. Mars is critical to the long-term survival of consciousness. Also, I’m not going to ask any venture capitalists for money. I realize that it makes no sense as an investment. That’s why I’m gathering resources.



Adam Hugo Reposted

Even if we fail at creating a Mars colony that can grow without continuous support from Earth, the absurdly ambitious nature of the goal nonetheless results in the creation of alien-level technology that is crushingly better than competitors who merely aim for Earth orbit.

Yep.

In the 2000s and early 2010s, discourse about reusable launch vehicles on the NASASpaceflight forum mostly consisted of skepticism on economics and flight rates. forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topi…

In the future, some will be explorers of the cosmos, and others will be left behind to spend their years content in virtual reality until some outside disaster shuts down their virtual universe.

Recently I met a ML researcher who is against going to space. I asked him why, his reason was “there’s enough problems on Earth.” Then I asked him what he is working on to solve the problems. His reply was “AI generative content”. Kind of sad. A swath of population became…

haha Europe that means you’re gonna massively invest in Satelite infrastructure, right? You’re not gonna try to regulate Starlink into the ground, right? You’re gonna make a competitor, right?

NEWS: Former German chancellor Angela Merkel said today: “If a person like Elon Musk owns 60% of all satellites orbiting in space, then that has to be a huge concern for us.” What's the concern, exactly? There is no concern – It's just vague and baseless fearmongering, as usual.
