That's largely because you do actually need a new platform for your EV. The component packaging needs are significantly different, so EVs stuffed into conventional platforms need to make a lot of compromises. But that's all under

The heat shield is such a massive component that it's conceivable that the first design is flawed, and resolving the flaw requires a dry mass increase that cuts into the payload and makes a Mars return unachievable.

> I really think this is overrated in how much of a technology risk this is. Specially if you have enough weight that you can invest in the solution. Refueling is a schedule risk, maybe the first design will fail to account for something

I don't see scaling direct air capture of CO2 beyond demo facilities until we are near zero CO2 emissions. But fixed concentrated CO2 streams should have had CO2 capture decades ago. The problem of course is that no matter how cheap CO

High lethality isn't necessarily what a bioweapon is designed for. The US (allegedly) dropped tick-borne bioweapons on Cuba in the 60's with the goal of lowering sugarcane production. If you want to use a bioweapon for clandestine

I think that's only used for structures immersed in seawater. It's not that we can't design buildings to last longer, it's that you don't want to design a building to last two centuries when you know it's proba

It's been a few years since I filed a recall, but I don't see how OTA changes anything about the process. Start fixing vehicles ASAP, send NHTSA the recall notice, notify owners.
