The guy who couldn’t run a livestream on Twitter last night wants to put computer chips in your brain.

Same guy who called a cave diver a pedo.. because the world class cave diver who was risking his life told him how his sub was crap
And he didn't want to listen to experts
Computer chips that killed a bunch of monkeys that they tested those chips on.
Of course there will be no law on mars that says he HAS to provide Oxygen, and if you don't have an oxygen reserve for just that occasion then really it's your own fault.
shouldn't have spend all of your eloncoin on martian avocado toast
Geev deese peepuhl ayuh!
And Boeing wants to build the spaceship. Sounds like a recipe for success.
Do it.
Then get the billionaires to fight over the "right" to go first, then sit back and enjoy some fireworks lol
Logitech's gonna sell some more F710s.
Sadly Musk said he's not interested in ever going to space himself.
Must have a lot of faith in his own grift.
Guess we'll have to figure out another way for him to implode..
Do people really think we'll colonize mars soon?
Colonizing the bottom of the ocean would be orders of magnitude cheaper, and more practical. Same with Antarctica. And there's a reason we don't do that.
I hate to sound anal, but I don't think the public appreciates how monumentally difficult space travel is, and how it gets exponentially worse with every ounce you have to carry. Even with theoretical, morally questionable tech like fission fragment drives or whatever.
Pressure is way harder to deal with than a vacuum, not that i think mars is happening any time soon
Both have unique challenges, but overall brucethemoose is right about the overall cost comparison. For instance, we could easily have a "space elevator" equivalent to the bottom of the ocean, it'd be a fraction of the cost of maintaining a freight network to mars. Pressure is hard to deal with, but not as difficult as it is to get shit out of a gravity well as dense as Earth.
The main point is the usable resources. You'd have a damn near infinite source of usable resources at the bottom of the ocean meanwhile on Mars everything would need to be scavenged or shipped.
The ocean is a lot closer though, which helps
Hey.
I love doing fully realistic space flight simulators in virtual reality -- programs that run at 18-30 FPS from the sheer computational load of doing physics calculations and accurate particle collisions of light, gas flow exchanges, liquids , and such in real time.
I'm nuts and the idea of being alone on a desolate planet in a space suit is highly relaxing for me:
I did the "solo" Mars scenario.
Even with the ability to quick save and load, and manipulate the environmental conditions to be completely in my favor (best possible landing spot, best weather, optimal genetic splicing and variation for plants), I died.
Everyone who goes to Mars -- is going to die.
The moon is a different story, and a testing grounds to see if humanity has what it takes.
Recently, they cancelled an unmanned rover whose sole purpose was to go look at some moon ice, due to budget cuts.
That should give you a sense of our overall preparation level for Mars.
The physics calculations aren't what makes it run at 30fps; it's more the graphic rendering. Physics are easy to do. Making them look nice isn't.
What?
Physics calculations are renowned for using simplifications to approximate results.
That doesn't work for space. One cannot assume an object is a perfect sphere experiencing no friction and have any hope of success. And that's just the first of many forces that are dropped to make the math easy.
I'm not aware of any reason on why we'd want to colonize the bottom of the ocean, but there's many reasons to want to become a multi-planetary species. Space exploration has also lead to many technologies being used in everyday life today.
What's morally questionable about fission fragment drives?
We should strive for being a space fairing species. Except these corporations are more likely to turn our moon into a billboard we can see on earth.
CHA
CHING! 🤑
Colonizing the bottom of the ocean would be harder than colonizing Mars. Not that either is a great idea, but just saying.
Whenever I see Elon doing something obviously evil and/or stupid, I remember back to the massive hype about him, especially one video by ColdFusion in which he constantly spoke about how Elon was an entrepeneur like it was some kind of seal of quallity or mark of trust.
I’d argue “entrepreneurs” should never be trusted
You guys don't understand. He was DOS DOS DOS DOS DOS DOS.... sorry my brain chip reset, happy new year, what are your plans for 2023?
So he ran out of his 640k base memory?
Tbf, he would've also had an entire team of professionals there specifically to make sure this exact thing didn't happen
And he STILL fucked it up
Y'mean all the experts he fired?
I imagine most of the actual professionals have left or been kicked out at this point.
As I learned from Heinlein, you treat others with respect in a vacuum. Especially if there's an airlock nearby.
It's not like he would be out in space/on mars.
We only send the best to space.
He hasn’t been to space, has he? I’ve always been curious why 🧐
It's essentially the same thing as far as ambient pressure and the human body is concerned. Just 0.006atm.
I actually don't think it's a big deal that there were technical problems, there were millions of people trying to get in at the same time. What I don't like is him lying that it was a ddos attack.
What's weird to me though, is if they were just overloaded at the time, wouldn't it make a lot more sense to just say that and sound like you're super popular and in demand, than to make up some fake attack? I guess persecution complex beats ego stroking.
It’s perfect for him and Trump: they’re victims, for one, and the “radical left” is out to silence their critical message.
I can imagine the people responsible for the tech lied to Elon that it was an attack, so he doesn't fire them
