You might get away with 3 (depending on load), but then you would need an additional charger ($1360 each). But there was a reason I use the ~ symbol =). Personally if I were doing this I would get more chargers, but it is really up to t

From the specs: BATTERY Battery capacity = 605 Wh Average runtime (no payload) = 90 mins Recharge time = 120 mins So you basically have to buy ~4 batteries ($4620 each) to get a 9 hour work day out of them...

Honest question for those in the know: If I wanted to run my own personal “analysis” to verify the security of Signal, where would I start? Is it even possible? Just curious if there was a way to “know” rather than “trust”.

Interesting they didn’t also include Blue Origin in the mix: https://www.blueorigin.com/ In my opinion, we should see crewed sub-orbital flights from them within the year, and possibly crewed orbital flights in the 4-8 year

I am somewhat surprised and taken aback by the level of negative comments in the thread... However, I suspect that the article “touched a nerve”. In my experience, the “stronger the reaction” the more likely something is there (think Lean S
