Alex has not been abandoned. Tucker Carlson is a frequent guest on his show, and they toured together recently. More to the point he has Roger Stone and Steve Bannon on the show constantly, who in turn have direct access to Trump. Alex is f

Picked up a used Bolt as well. Certified used with 7 years left on the battery warranty for about $15k. Anyone who actually wants a cheap EV can buy a cheap EV. There's just too many people that think they need a 3 row EV SUV with 500

Browsing their site I found an article that is making light of the suppression of women voters by using sexist tropes. > Hundreds of thousands of women across America were left standing utterly clueless as to what to do at a voting booth

I’m sure even in the fictional worlds of Star Trek and Expanse there’s still someone in their back yard with a telescope, despite the skies being filled with not just satellites, but the constant traffic of space ships and the oppressive pr

The Mars Direct plan is featured heavily in the book "The Case For Mars". It's over 400 pages and contains some of the details you seem to be curious about.

You can read up on Mars Direct for more info. The gist of it is that the Saturn V has enough delta v to get to Mars, on the count of Mars having an atmosphere, which can be used for aerobraking. Given the capability of reaching Mars with a

We will probably perform a human mission and return samples before a robot goes and picks up the Perseverance samples. We’ve been mars-capable since Apollo. It’s a matter of will, which is a political function of cost, which is falling rapi

If our world-wide herculean efforts towards building a self driving robotic car have yielded mediocre results, I have low expectations for a robotic field geologist built on a NASA budget. Also note that even with the limitations, the human

In the case of Wexit, Tamara Lich was a founder, and she buddied up with Pat King for the fundraiser, who is a self avowed white supremacist, like he's literally on twitter saying white people have the "strongest" bloodline.

Ah, so there was a procedural issue in prosecuting the group with a cache of guns that wants to carve out a white nation out of Canada and the US. My mistake. This doesn’t change the point that from the perspective of the Canadian governmen

Bit of a tangent, but the fundraiser that the Canadian government froze was initially organized by a Canadian secessionist and a white nationalist, and during that protest (and possibly unrelated) weapons were seized at a border crossing fr

A bus achieves what with some morality the profit other manufacturers seek via in-car purchases. GM, Rivian, and Tesla don’t want CarPlay for that reason. A bus network would provide recurring revenue for the actual thing a vehicle is for,

Who would fund solar power when it was so expensive and so inefficient? Someone funded it, and subsidized it, and now solar panels are cheap and plentiful. And that someone now owns the global market for solar panels.
