Sounds like it was all good, so just the dust not being visible on the IR view.
Was expecting a little more debris to be kicked up on touchdown. Wonder if the rockets didn't fire or just the camera angle?
Looks pretty good with all the main chutes successfully deployed.
Bummer, but not terribly surprising.
Haha, good catch. It is fun to try and pronounce.
Please do, would be fun to follow along and discuss as events unfold.
That would be quite impressive if they pull it off before the launch window closes on October 21st. Not to mention the first launch sending a payload to Mars and landing the booster on a drone ship.
Definitely will be exciting to watch.
Edit: Fixed a typo, 22st just doesn't roll off the tongue.
Yeah, the EV market is fine, just Tesla sales which have dropped some, lowering numbers for the total EV market. Sales continue to be strong for other EV manufacturers, just one brand slowing down for some strange reason..... Almost like someone has started to alienate their core customer base....
Less than the same area of lawn.
Knowing Elon's past history with wording, he is probably actually donating $45,999,999.99 or $45,000,000.01 just to say the media reports are not true. He never denied donating money, just disputed that exact figure.
My prediction is that as pressures mount on all industries, especially food supplies, we'll start to see large civil unrest leading ultimately to wars which will wipe most of us out first, then famine takes the rest. Agree on a few well off holdouts for a while.
Yeah, Tesla is certainly not the first ones to have this design or issues with it:
This has strong Simon Stålenhag \ "Tales from the Loop" vibes.
Any chance you are using a Thunderbolt device such as a network adapter or external drives? I had the issue on a NUC 10 where it would randomly drop the TB devices every few weeks and occasionally appear to be frozen. The latest firmware update finally took care of it.
Question is, how do you keep that from being abused?
Would you invision that to be similar to something like PBS but fully funded from government sources?
This is handled by the inverter and charging modules, some use FPGA chips others use dedicated ASICs, but it doesn't require anything wild in terms of raw compute power, mostly up to having good algorithms to handle the situations correctly. Nothing more than a modern ICE engine which needs to very precisely manage intake and exhaust cam phasing, ignition timing, intake pressure, and multiple injections per cylinder/cycle along with monitoring a multitude of sensors to keep everything in tolerance. In terms of simplicity, the first automobiles at the turn of the century were electric before the ICE caught on thanks to the advent of the electric starter and limitations in battery technology at the time.
It's about time, quite annoying to hit the limit of your "unlimited" data plan to have it throttled so heavily it is totally unusable.
Not sure if the /s was left off or this was a serious question.
In the case it was a serious question, the first issue that comes to mind is when you seed clouds for one region, what happens to the next region downwind where the clouds would have rained without intervention? You are just moving the drought, there will still be a difference in the rain pattern somewhere.
Seeding to generate more cloud cover at a global scale introduces a whole host of problems. Firstly, you lower the solar output which then means solar power generation will be less effective. That energy will need to be produced by some means, which right now fossil fuels would be the most likely to take up the deficit, increasing atmospheric carbon output. Then to compound problems further, the reduced solar radiation reaching the surface would have a number of impacts such as plant growth being slowed reducing their CO2 uptake, less moisture being evaporated for precipitation over land masses, wind patterns being changed, and wind speeds reduced which means even further reduction in renewable energy generation. So with today's technology seeding clouds would end up compounding the issues in the long term and accelerate the already alarming changes.
