@robertgraham the problem in US is - most things managed by govt runs extremely expensive, corrupt and incompetent. In China govt is a lot more competent and was able to build incredible amount of trains and infrastructure

Socialists shrug their shoulders at such costs. But capitalists do math. They estimate once completed there will be 30 million rides per year between SF and LA. But paying interest on a $126 billion loan is still more expensive than simply providing free airplane rides for those riders. That's why socialist countries are poor, they spend huge amounts of capital on political-but-wasteful projects so there's no capital left to spend on useful stuff, like factories. The California high-speed rail isn't economically viable.

@Truthful_ast if starship reaches orbit by 2027 it will be good… still long way from human certified vehicle. took 5 years for dragon…

If you're unaware, NASA's next Artemis mission in 2027 will demonstrate docking and manned operations of SpaceX's HLS in Earth Orbit to prepare humans for a lunar landing in 2028.

@GergelyOrosz all these metrics are gamed by sneaky employees, which in turn get promoted over real talented devs

Token usage is part of perf evaluations at Meta. This is just smart people (Meta only hires smart folks) hitting targets they assume leadership wants them to hit so they get that exceeds expectations (or above) rating + avoid below expectations (Perhaps this is Meta’s goal btw)

@hamids rocket lab had failures on electron initially. also electron is much smaller rocket, uses electric fuel pump that simplified their rocket engines. Neutron is a lot more complex with new engine also making all those parts from composites is hard, none of it flight tested…

@hamids Starship already flying, still needs more work though. do you think neutron will work 100% on a first flight?

An investment in $RKLB at $37 Billion valuation feels waaaaaay superior to SpaceX at $2,000 Billion valuation!

@60Minutes why noone is fired over this? how can this be acceptable to any taxpayers?

With construction costs soaring and the timeline years behind schedule, California has focused on completing a more limited route than originally intended – a route that few were clamoring for, and fewer are likely to ride. cbsn.ws/3Okzqnu

@maxtmcc maybe they should call it California Climate

it’s funny how much California’s Mediterranean climate mogs the actual Mediterranean. It’s sunnier, drier, cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Americans were given the garden of eden and look what we did with it

@_TommyMason its ok, they are still in Earths gravity, it will pull them back

Why’s this their first photo that feels suddenly feels terrifying?

@ApoStructura so far they cant get it off the ground for 6+ months… sounds like it will take 5 years

Considering how much hype from the general public Artemis II is getting, I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like when SpaceX lands the skyscraper sized HLS on the Moon in a couple years.

@DimaZeniuk what is the chance of getting starship to orbit in Q2?

There is a good chance of achieving full reusability of Starship this year

@TukiFromKL they should have asked Japanese to buld that toilet… their toilets are state of the art.

🚨JUST IN: the Artemis II astronauts are complaining about a horrible smell coming from their toilet.. again.. NASA built that toilet for $30 million.. let that sink in.. thirty million dollars.. for a toilet.. that smells.. the Artemis program has cost $93 billion total.. the rocket alone was $23 billion.. and the part responsible for dealing with human waste cost $30 million.. broke last week.. got fixed by ground teams.. and is now breaking again while the crew is flying around the moon.. every dollar of that $93 billion came from your taxes.. congress approved it.. year after year.. with full knowledge of the cost.. the same people who told you there's no money for healthcare.. no money for housing.. no money for anything.. found $93 billion for a rocket.. and $30 million for a toilet that smells.

@ivanburazin idiots…

A former PM at Meta recently posted: "If you're still using an IDE, you'll be laid off next" Aggressive? A bit, yeah. It is, however, more directionally correct than rage bait. Half our engineers still use IDEs (but with Claude Code running inside). The others don't use them at all. Just agents and orchestration. IDEs aren't dead yet, but they're about to be.

@turbotax you better make sure next version runs on windows 10 (I hate win 11), or I am switching to another tax software

@daveginvesting @ShirazAkmal @SpaceX last round was at half that price, i think NVDA employees had much bigger bump before

@ShirazAkmal @SpaceX Not at a 2T valuation

I wonder if we see a flood of retirements at @SpaceX as employees' shares suddenly become worth so much that they no longer need to work. Wouldn't surprise me if this is something they worry about. The valuation has ballooned Extreme fast.

@GFLspace what happens when those ice pieces hit another spacecraft at orbital speeds?

Artemis 2 - Christina Koch attrape la caméra et filme les eaux usées expulsées dans le vide de l'espace.💧

@Polymarket he is a joke, does he assumes we are all idiots that cant count?

JUST IN: Trump's latest budget proposal includes ~$175 million for NASA to establish a lunar base on the moon.

@RightOnNewsX @ToddGloria delivery charges is the scam, they should be less than generation, noone delivers electricity it just flows over wires

🚨 San Diego, wake up — this is robbery. $237.69 for just 456 kWh. That’s 52 cents per kilowatt hour. SDG&E’s delivery charges are already insane, but your “clean” electricity is coming from San Diego Community Power — the exact Community Choice scam Mayor @ToddGloria personally launched in 2021, bragging it would deliver cheaper, 100% renewable power. How’s that working out? Working families are getting crushed with sky-high bills while Gloria virtue-signals about the climate. This is Green New Deal reality: unaffordable energy, empty promises, and zero accountability.

@HeidiBriones they are just coasting, landing is hard, you need more fuel to land since there is no atmosphere, you also need more fuel to escape moons gravity

Imagine doing all this and not even landing on it.

@basilebilo its funny how 99.9% of people have no idea how orbital mechanics work. the best way to understand them is to play Kerbal Space Program

Ça me fait halluciner, une erreur de calcul et les mecs partent tout droit vers l’infini et l’au delà
