low skilled, high risk modern slavery type jobs, and for prison
I think you repeat yourself.
Yes... I noticed this also when I didn't have the crushers to feed ammo production and spent the new few hours getting alerts my latest space platform was being slowly reduced to rubble 🥲
It won't, but it might produce mediocre drivel at low cost, which is more profitable than paying a team of creatives to make something actually good.
The news cycle moves a lot faster than scientific consensus.
This is slightly concerning. Satellites don't tend to explode on their own, but it is a Boeing design with a history of leaky propulsion, so who knows?
Gotta create more terrorists if you want to fight a war on terror.
Nothing. Read the article (it's not long); these robots are from a different company.
From the linked article:
The 2022 injury rate at the company’s manufacturing-and-launch facility near Brownsville, Texas, was 4.8 injuries or illnesses per 100 workers – six times higher than the space-industry average of 0.8.
No mention of other industries, but a quick search shows that the injury rate is 2.4 in construction and 3.2 in manufacturing. However, it's important to note that all industries underreport injuries, especially SpaceX, as OP's article discusses.
Also, I think it's interesting to note that Texas, where SpaceX are moving most of their operations, has the most worker deaths of any state.
That's a good point! Not having to move materials off planet will help keep them fresh. I also don't want to deal with spoilage, but I've just been avoiding going to Gleba!
