I believe, and I’d have to go find the quote, but he meant/said simple. Simple =/= easy, just that there are a few things you can do that have a huge impact. Like you could bombard the polar caps and release a shit ton of Co2 and water which would thicken the atmosphere, trap some heat, and start a rain cycle. That’s conceptually simple but practically hard. To keep on with Musk, he’s also been quoted multiple times saying that living on Mars is gonna suck for a long long time.

I guess in the same way climate change is conceptually simple but practically hard. Cutting out 90% of Co2 emissions pulling existing Co2 out is simple, most of the tech is already developed, it just would cost hugely insane amounts of money to do it quickly. We have direct air capture, we could build dedicated nuclear power air capture plants above existing limestone/granite deposits and pump them full. It just would cost $$$$/kg.

60deg in Spain was ground surface temp not air temp, air temp was like 40deg.

Even at +4c there will still be plenty of “nice” places for billionaires to fuck off to and build a nice little rich people commune. Hell, a +6c world is still the garden of eden in comparison to Mars.

Yes there’s a lot of interest in Mars right now, but it’s really is just mega rich nerds. Hell, if I was mega rich, I’d make an aerospace company too, space is cool.

The rich peppers are buying up land and building compounds in climate safe havens, like New Zealand.

Unless lasik has significantly changed, last I looked it lasts ~10 years and you can only do it twice, so it doesn’t really make sense to do it from prepper reasons unless you think collapse is within 6 months. Otherwise, get the timing wrong and you could need another round of lasik just after the beginning of the appocolypes or worse you could need a new round but have already done two right before everything collapses.

Nope, they test launched an experimental rocket from an experimental launch pad.

The pad actually survived and only needed minor repairs (completed within 3 months when it took well over a year to build) and going foreward a new suppression system will be used.

The only rocket that blew up recently was the experimental one but that was expected, they have 2 more test rockets built out, it was time to launch and get some real life data for future development. As long as the launch tower wasn’t destroyed the test was going to be considered a success.

They have only lost 2 rockets in actual commercial operations and that rocket holds the title of most reliable in the world currently.

You’re gonna have to cite a source on that one, you can’t just say one of the leading launch providers that has both nasa and defence customers is cutting corners without any proof.

Have you ever works with the airforce on space related stuff? Cause I have, and they are not the kinda people to just hand wave away stuff.

Also has saved tax payers loads of money by being super cheap to lauch nasa and defense satellites

I’ve only used Jerboa so I can’t compare BUT it reminds me a lot of RIF which is what I’ve used for the last like 7+ years?

There’s alway more opportunity and money to be made in new emerging markets, just not by the current top dogs.

That’s why cigarette companies fought against e-cigs while buying those companies out.

That’s why power companies for the longest time poo pooed solar while quietly investing in solar capacity.

The big guys block and depress these new markets while they get their ducks in a row cause if these new markets just exploded uncontrolled they’d miss out on getting in cheap.

I like to plant my leafy greens inside an arch trellis, that way the squash and cucumbers shade the greens. My arugula is still trying to bolt but I can keep it pretty decent by topping it when I see it look like it’s heading that way.
