Any city would be a bad place for a rocket (test) launch facility, 'collapsing' due to mining or not. Luckily the city is some 44 km drive away from the launch site. And there's still people living in Kiruna, it's not co

I'd gladly take a Waymo from my home to the train station, zip around the country without traffic jams and hop in another robotaxi at the other end.

Tooling sounds like it can be fixed? If the knowledge bases are useful, why not use them with better tools?

Seems to cut out the sample return helicopter (but requires more coordination with the Perseverance rover on where it is in it's mission), compared to JPL's MSR mission AFAIK. Oh, and no rockets thrown in the air before launch. W

But why should the payment processors be in court? They are just a 'road for money'. Normal roads nor toll road operators aren't going to be charged with a felony if a criminal uses their roads, why should that be different f

The rich sharing their homes with many other people would reduce demand as well I guess. But they don't because they can afford not to. Some may argue that the rich help in the supply by building new houses, but that makes them even ri

Demand can be affected by people living together, or encouraging that in some way. Be it having roommates, elderly parents living in, staying with ones parents longer, communes. None of them popular long term I think. Hence: supply

My case was about not having radar at all. Having GPS could buy you some time and start braking already based on GPS even if the radar is still out. Yes, might burn some additional fuel but burning too late sucks harder I suppose. Also: ev

The navigation part will be of great use to landers there, I've heard too often that the ground sensing radars lock on too late to help guide the landing. Getting a good location estimate might relieve some of that pressure. For recen
