So it looks like it is around $100M for a Falcon Heavy launch. What kind of satellite can be built for $100M? Put one at L4 with a radar/mm-wave receiver, and have another on Earth for your phased array, to have a pretty large synthe

I wonder what the historical reason is for having the camera lens at a corner, instead of at the center of the phone/tablet. Is this some fashion thing that everyone decided to copy? I can't imagine there is a technical reason,

Before it gets to 99% unemployment, you'll go through 20% -> 30% -> 40%. What is going to stop society collapsing well before 99%? Hopefully we'll have self-replicating robot farmers that drive the cost of food to near zer
