Every billionaire with a rocket has made their way to space, except for one. And that is even though SpaceX has transported astronauts a few times now. I wonder why?

NASA's managerial culture is (in)famous for all the wrong reasons - see the Challenger and Columbia crashes [1][2]. It appears that every once in a while they crash a major vehicle, external pressure gives some control back to technica

NASA used neural nets for learning flight control back in 2003, so this could potentially use neural nets as well. [1] Maybe something like a Jetson for the ANN processor? [2] I'm sure NVidia could provide a milspec part for their use.

So back in the day, NASA was doing some tests with using neural networks/AI to fly fighter jets. They used a modified F-15: NF-15B, Tail # 837 for this purpose - Intelligent Flight Control System (IFCS). [1][2][3][4] There's a coo
