They certainly do. Those Mercedes don’t have all the cameras and sensors and are not recording it all and sending it back to HQ. For the newer cars that do there was an awesome post on HN from someone who consulted with them and they had a

NASA prefer them now, as they're "flight proven". They're using them to launch astronauts now too.

So your whole point is that SpaceX are late on achieving the future. Yes. Everybody knows. With SpaceX we’re late getting there. With Everyone else the timeline is never. I’ll take late over never 10 times out of 10.

Elon will be able to achieve his goals just fine under the Democrats. Trump will run so much stuff into the ground nobody will be able to achieve anything.

Prior to today the only landings you've seen are Falcon 9, which has to do a "hoverslam" because it can't throttle low enough to actually hover. Even just one engine in minimum thrust would make the rocket go up when emp

Sure, a mammal does not HAVE to store excess energy. But that is entirely irrelevant when a mammal eats less energy than they consume for a while. In that instance they MUST burn some stored reserves or break the laws of physics

You are doing an awful lot of mental gymnastics in search of a boogeyman that does not exist. How mammals ingest, process, store and burn energy has been well understood for a very long time. You know why some domestic dogs and cats are ove

I’m sorry for the downvotes. What you did takes a lot of discipline and hard work, and you did it. Of course eating less calories than you consume results in weight loss, and you stuck with it. Congrats and Thanks for the details
