Absolutely.    Would you like other guys pointing out Hotez deficiencies?   It was actually more about Hotez but whatever? Why stick around? All the constructive back and forth

SpaceX created the first fully reusable rocket stage and, much more importantly, made the reuse economically viable.

Making life multiplanetary is fundamentally a cost per ton to Mars problem.

It currently costs about a billion dollars per ton of useful payload to the surface of Mars. That needs to be improved to $100k/ton to build a self-sustaining city there, so the technology needs to be 10,000 times better. Extremely difficult, but not impossible.

—-

The first Starships to Mars will launch in 2 years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens.

These will be uncrewed to test the reliability of landing intact on Mars. If those landings go well, then the first crewed flights to Mars will be in 4 years.

Flight rate will grow exponentially from there, with the goal of building a self-sustaining city in about 20 years. Being multiplanetary will vastly increase the probable lifespan of consciousness, as we will no longer have all our eggs, literally and metabolically, on one planet.

Please don’t fuck this up.

Ugh… he’s going to fuck it up in spectacular fashion isn’t he

CT, Plastic Fence, eggplant

I see the above video as a net win for humanity--one less Cybertruck and one less awful plastic picket fence.

it is unfortunate that there wasn't an eggplant garden adjacent to the fence. However, I have doubts whether the Cybertruck would've been able maintain enough momentum to plow through it given its questionable "off road" capabilities.

Abandoned Tesla Cybertruck Becomes Tourist Destination In Seattle

Say what you will about the Tesla Cybertruck, but one thing is undeniable: the damn thing is attention-grabbing, and that’s especially true for one wrecked Cybertruck in Seattle, Washington. In fact, this stranded truck has become a bit of a landmark in the city with its own Google Maps pin entry. Move over Chicago’s Rat Hole, there’s a new tourist destination on the map. 

The Cybertruck in question appears to have sustained some pretty serious damage to the left rear area – including a suspension failure. Now, the truck is sitting on the side of the road in a pretty busy part of Seattle and has become a bit of a meme – especially on the r/CyberStruck sub Reddit. Since the truck was posted online a few days ago, some folks have even set up makeshift memorials for the Cybertruck.

It’s likely that this saga will be coming to an end soon, though. The truck has been reported as abandoned to the city, according to a Reddit post. Officials attempted to notify its owner that the truck would be towed unless it was moved – written on an orange sticker and placed near its big-ass windshield wiper.

One Reddit user says they actually talked to the owner on Sunday evening. Keep in mind, we cannot verify this interaction actually happened, but it sure would be a weird thing to lie about. Here’s what they said:

 

 

Spoiler

I went by there this evening on my way to dinner. The owner was outside and was not happy we were there. He said a kid hit his CT a few weeks ago and was still trying to figure out the insurance to get it fixed. He said people having been harassing him and his wife the past few days and he didn’t understand why. We told him his truck was all over Reddit and he got even madder. We left pretty quickly.

The commenter added that the Cybertruck’s owner apparently had no idea his truck was all over the internet. That’s gotta be a tough conversation to have with a stranger. 

I suppose it’s impossible to know if this Cybertruck was actually involved in an accident or it just Did That itself, but either way, I feel like leaving it on the side a public road in a big city probably wasn’t the best move.

As I said before, someone even created a Google Maps pin of the CyberStruck, and people immediately flooded it with fake reviews, according to AutoEvolution. Unfortunately for all of us, Google seems to have deleted the entry, which is a damn shame.

Dammit, I was about to make a quick run down there and provide the Surly faithful with an update, but they removed it overnight.
