  1. You just seem to love the smell of your own farts and thinks they’re brilliant insights

  2. Simpler, easier to produce with improved capabilities.

  3.  @saumyacow4435  only SpaceX know for sure, but my guess is that they’re too large to be stacked in the fairing like V1.

  4.  @saumyacow4435  size/shape and simplicity are completely unrelated qualities.

  5.  @Argumemnon  How many rockets from the 60s were reusable? Substantially driving down costs is an accomplishment. Starship has had several test flight. We’re currently waiting for SpaceX to have enough raptor engines for an orbital test.

  6.  @Argumemnon  SpaceX started a competition, and even in the unlikely event SpaceX goes out of business, that competition isn’t just going to disappear. Rocket Lab just released the design of their new Neutron rocket, which will have a similar payload to the Falcon9, but it will be even more reusable.

  7. Tesla have released multiple videos of crash testing

  8. The engine is pressure fed. The internal pressure will keep the fuel and oxidizer from sloshing, not to mention the tanks will be nearly full when the engine starts.

  9. No, Tfoot is just wrong. He makes some major errors. I think part of it is his personal animosity towards Elon Musk, and he tends to just take what is given as what must be.

  10. They sell cars is how they’re in business.

  11. Solar is a waste of time until we’re building a Dyson swarm, and I’ve only ever seen people who hate the man dismayed at Musk doing something

  12.  @ghoch3 A single family home isn’t a example for the entire grid
    1
  13.  @ghoch3  I said it’s a waste of time. The time and money used on solar could have been used on more reliable sources of power.

  14. it varies a lot.

  15. Tsunadere are going to tsunadere

  16.  @fushisu  yes, I don’t know were the a came from
    1
  17. Yeah, SpaceX haven’t improved rockets, Tesla haven’t improved electric cars, etc.
    1
  18. A cone
    1
  19. You obviously haven’t seen Boston Dynamics.
    1
  20. That makes no sense. Those are all arbitrary, and some are even harder than getting to Mars.
    1
  21. No, people who know enough about this subject to know where Tfoot got stuff really wrong.

  22. Taking on new challenges is worthwhile end in itself. To grow humans have to be challenged, but in the West we have no real challenges left. Mars is the challenge we need.

  23. You clearly don’t know much about this topic. In a ranking of the most hospitable places in the solar system the Earth is a clear winner, but Mars is a solid second. Mars has important resources the moon doesn’t have, not that I’m against setting up bases on the moon along with Mars. In fact, there’s something like an 80% overlap between the technology needed for the moon and Mars. Speaking of technology, Mars has all the resources needed to make methane for fuel, which is why SpaceX’s raptor engine uses methane. As for danger, everything worth doing has risks. Even things that aren’t worth much have life and death risks. How many foot ball players have their lives significantly shortened or killed because people want to be entertained? Exploring and then colonizing Mars is worth a lot more than see some guys trying to get a ball from one side of a field to another.

  24. You should learn how to read properly. I wrote that Mars is the second most hospitable place in the solar system. I know for someone with an IQ below 70 it’s hard to understand the difference between that and Mars being a nice place for people to live. You’re low IQ also explains why you I think I don’t care about safety because I think if we’re going to risk people’s lives we should do it doing something important.

  25. ReconissanceMa, thanks for further proving my point that you’re stupid. If you don’t want to be hit harder, don’t make your argument about how intelligent the other person is.

  26. Thanks for proving more and more you have nothing of use to say.

  27. People keep telling Tf00t that, but he keeps repeating the nonsense
    1
  28. Starship is pretty cheap to build. It’s the raptor that was eating money and now starlink
    1
  29. Tesla is the second most profitable car company on Earth.

  30.  @ct1762  Tesla are by far the most experienced electric vehicle manufacturer. In some ways EV’s have more in common with vacuums or hairdryer than other cars, and that’s just the basic elements. More advanced stuff like the octo-valve, giga-casting, or custom microchip designs. The only thing the Taycan had better made were the body panels. It also took half the time to charge because it has half the range. Moreover, what you’re evading is the fact Tesla are constantly improving their cars.
    1
  31.  @ct1762  holly shit, you’re ignorant. Tesla has had problems with the fitting of body panels, but that’s the only place Porsche beats Tesla in quality.
    1
  32.  @ct1762  sounds like you’ve bought into myth rather than facts. Look up Munro Live. It’s run by Munro and Associates; they break down cars and sell engineering reports. They have nothing but praise for Tesla with the exception of the body panels.

  33. Plants are much more radiation resistant than humans, but the amount of radiation on Mars would barely increase a person’s risk of getting cancer.

  34. Because Tfoot is wrong on key points.

  35. Lots of people have said that on basically every video involving Elon, but Tf00t still hasn’t listened.

  36. An ivory tower

  37. Edison made useful inventions and brought them to market. Tesla was happy making toys to play with. Don’t get me wrong he was a brilliant guy, but not a lot of what he did real change people’s lives.
    1
  38.  @RetroGamebloke  Menlo Park invented plenty of stuff, but you’re right it wasn’t Edison himself doing most of it. Also, AC generators were independently invented by another guy, and would have won out regardless.

  39. The big time suck is the FAA.
    1
  40. Limited solutions will only ever be that.
    1
  41.  @JulianDanzerHAL9001  they’re bandaids at best, and dead ends that will destroy companies at their worst. Also, neither have Elon nor Tesla lied. When someone gives you an estimate, don’t take it as definitive, particularly in something like AI.
    1
  42.  @pitsahat2  estimates are just that. It’s what people believe it will take. Often they’re wrong because you don’t understand the size and scope of the task until you’re actually doing it. There’s no lying in being wrong.
    1
  43.  @JulianDanzerHAL9001  Can you try forming a coherent paragraph. You gave me a jumble of three half formed ideas. There’s no way I can properly respond to that.
    1
  44.  @lordstorm88  Elon is hyper optimistic. He’s wrong most of the time about the timeline, but he gets it done and faster than anyone else.

  45.  @anzaca1  NASA has never propulsively landed an orbital rocket booster, and SpaceX are the first company to launch people into space.
    1
  46. Boston Dynamics has great robots, but the robots aren’t planning their actions.

  47. The spinner’s main job is to get the rocket into the upper atmosphere. Space-guns have been looked into and abandoned for several reasons. You can’t cheat physics. It costs the same amount of energy either way. The big difference is that spinlaunch gets reused, and can be used much more frequently. Those change the economics. High altitudes are good but most launches get a 1,000 mile per hour boost from low latitudes.

  48. He doesn’t have $ billions sitting in a bank account. He owns stocks worth billions.

  49. SpaceX have completely changed the space industry, and Tesla has turned electric car from niche hippie cars into real competition for ICE cars.

  50. Mars has large amounts of water. Enough for shallow oceans, in fact. Antarctica is routinely colder than Mars. The radiation is negligible. Even being cautious, the cancer risk increase is 1% per year. That’s less than eating bacon regularly.
