Space is really really cheap, yet hardly anyone is doing it. Prison planet.
Remains to be seen if they can actually pull it off. How's Artemis doing, huh?
Jon Blow showed Elon talking this matter (in one of his presentations about how his quest to make a good video game will save humanity from extinction) and the latter said something about how technological progress is taken for granted but it's not actually true and he illustrates the point with the space program, which went from putting people on the moon to having to ask the Russians to transport cargo to LEO. He said it's not a guarantee that humans will become spacefaring, if this is the trajectory. This stuck with me.
very interesting topic. I am a big "spacehead" as they call it.

@WandererUber i know people shittalk musk a lot but spacex is literally the best space company ever and nasa is a retarded government work program
I said it before: it says a lot about the state of western civilization when the billionaire people hate and ridicule most is the one guy that actually builds things.
Even the thing I dislike most he did better than anyone else. Screens in cars. They put games on the screens. I don't want that feature, but have you ever used any other car entertainment system? that shit is laggy just playing a song off your phone. Tesla stunted on their head by running 3D games. It's probably the best infotainment system that exists (haven't tried it) even though touch screens suck ass
they let you use wireless bluetooth controllers
it's pretty neat
it's pretty neat
bluetooth is always wireless lil bro
yeah that's neat. And it's what I'm saying. BMW charges you a subscription fee for the heated seats and their laggy ass navigation is 10 years out of date probably. Providing a functional OS with controller support is unthinkable

@WandererUber @professionalbigot69 i have friends who work for suppliers who write the software for those BMW/AUDI cars and they say that they sometimes need to wait a year (REALLY) to get a certificate so they can actually run their software
And when you think about it this is made even more insane by the absolutely miniscule amount of things that are actually being built so what do the people with the rubber stamp actually do in that year? nothing much, I reckon. It's always like that. Like HR. It's all pretend.

@WandererUber @professionalbigot69 yeah, they do nothing, it's bureaucracy, it's cancer.
