Its an Elon project?
1 in 10 odds it happens?
- ehnto 8y agoThose are good odds in the grander timeline of space travel.
- cloudwalking 8y agoWhich Elon project has failed?
- angersock 8y agoModel 3 still a bit rocky, eh?
- function_seven 8y agoSure. Not a failure, though. I see them on the road almost daily. And I’m in a nondescript suburban town far from the Bay Area.
- ObsoleteNerd 8y agoI'm in a suburb outside a city in Australia and see half a dozen Teslas when I walk to the park with my kids. It's absolutely mind blowing how far and fast they've reached.
- function_seven 8y agoHa. If you were looking to win the "farthest from San Francisco" game, I think you just did. It is amazing, isn't it? There's no guarantee that TSLA will still be around in ten years, but I bet their cars will be, along with the industry that was forced into existence by a non-incumbent player.
- isostatic 8y agoWell technically this one wins: http://www.whereisroadster.com http://www.whereisroadster.com
- adventured 8y agoIt'll outsell every luxury sedan in the US in its first year. If that kind of outcome gets you implicated for failure, BMW must be distraught as it looks at those dwindling 3 series sales figures.
- brian-armstrong 8y agoWe will know the results of the Thai rescue operation shortly when the lawsuit comes to an end
- manicdee 8y agoThe lawsuit is completely unrelated to the rescue operation, and the rescue operation was never a Musk project. FWIW all the people trapped in the cave were rescued.
- daeken 8y agoI would take those odds for sure. Longbet?
- occamschainsaw 8y agoIt's not just about the odds of this project. Missions like these make the public interested again. We might very well be in the beginning stages of a public-private space race, with "space startups" popping up in multiple countries (SpaceX, Blueorigin, [sic] ULA, Onespace[0]). These things can snowball, especially if somebody finds a way to extract resources from the Moon and asteroids.

- justAnotherNET 8y agoAll we need is next gen super conductors making He3 fusion possible and the race is on.
- rdl 8y agoMissing deadlines by a year or two on something otherwise believed to be impossible is a great way to consistently “fail”, I think.
