Ugh sounds dumb. Or is it genius? Since when aren't we all "transitioning" to FSD? Transition would mean have both?

I would be so chuffed it they had a three wheeler! ? But if they do, I don't get the side by side seating. Tandem seating would get you twice the range on a tadpole trike. If it's a tadpole trike, it really needs to be a tandem setup. Front surface area could be less than a quarter of a M3...

But dude....does that look like three wheels or just a really narrow rear track?

No shift lever will suck big time off-road in the CT. You can't rock yourself out of a bog, or use short run ups over obstacles. Quick turn around for reorientation on a climb. Simply: no inertia no climb. Traction control or AI can't compete with that. Anyone who claims any different knows...

Was hoping for next gen motor combo. Otherwise nothing notable I'm afraid. :( Maybe we'll get a nice price reduction?

It's a shame one way, but although I like Munroe, he is getting long in the tooth sometimes and Cory was really there to keep things on track, at least production wise, if not also technically. Without wanting to be rude, but sometimes the videos sounded like Monroe was trying to stay relevant...

It's all just about potentials. Some have it, some don't.

It's fun to contemplate these things and not offhandedly dismiss them. I'm not saying that the ECAT described on this thread works...far from it. I'm just pointing out that most are not qualified enough to even argue how it works or not, and resort to stating what little they know about why...

Haha lol it still isn't, and I can be trippin' just fine without it. :p The position is simply that we do not know or understand all methods of energy transfer, and that it is possible to harvest more energy out of a system than we put in, by leveraging the environment. The part that many...

If perpetual motion is a device where "more energy is extracted than put in" then wouldn't nuclear energy be such a thing? Most of our tech is run by machines that produce more energy over their lifetime than we used to make them. For all intents and purposes solar power over eons is perpetual...

You're just in the wrong business maybe? My "rural" neighbour just bought another 10,000acres for $31m. Grain farming is profitable, even for the employed. Our local mines run $billion dollar profits and have some of the highest paid middle class jobs.

I can't believe you Texans were in the state and didn't go to watch it! Here was me on the other side of the planet hoping that it would be delayed until I come over next week! :cry:

Yeah, I was thinking that when listening to some commentators as well, It would be a fairly serious omission for SpaceX and the FAA not to have ensured the FTS was capable enough for complete disassembly of both parts of the vehicle, plus contigencies. I'm not sure if they want more or less...

Yeah well apparently that was the flight termination system (FTS) that blew those vent holes into it. But I think they were expecting greater destruction from the FTS than they got, and because of the relatively high altitude and low air density, together with the high speed inertia of a still...

I dunno if I'd skip it entirely though, there's important story elements that recaps won't be able to cover in detail. You just have to plod through it. I've watched it twice, once by myself up until S3 and then started again watching it with my boys. They are pretty picky viewers but once we...

The Expanse is a pretty good show, but you need to make it through the first season, because after the first two episodes it's a bit of a slow burn to get all the story elements in place. It all picks up in season 2. It's a mostly realistic show with a dollop of extra spice, on top of all the...

No worries glad I could help. It's sometimes time consuming to filter through all the reposting of information titbits, I'm hoping we get some confirmation from EM from his spaces talk so we know exactly what happened.

Um which treaty did you reference in particular? I read the wiki page but found no reference to an independent Martian state being excluded. I didn't see a link in your posts either I just checked. I'm not sure what point you are still trying to make regarding the consequences for the SpaceX...

Yeah ok I can see that, but I still do wonder if there is a treaty that covers the establishment of their own local nation by the colony population on Mars. Wouldn't they just be a non-earth nation, so not a territory claimed by a nation under the treaty? SpaceX I am sure employs...
