Mark Ruffalo goes on a rant against Elon Musk over climate change.

Bizarre. I’ve done literally a million times more than Ruffalo to advance sustainable energy.
And who have I “sold out” to anyway? How much did they pay me? Nothing, as far as I know.

SpaceX plans to launch about five uncrewed Starships to Mars in two years.
If those all land safely, then crewed missions are possible in four years. If we encounter challenges, then the crewed missions will be postponed another two years.
It is only possible to travel from Earth to Mars every two years, when the planets are aligned. This increases the difficulty of the task, but also serves to immunize Mars from many catastrophic events on Earth.
No matter what happens with landing success, SpaceX will increase the number of spaceships traveling to Mars exponentially with every transit opportunity. We want to enable anyone who wants to be a space traveler to go to Mars! That means you or your family or friends – anyone who dreams of great adventure.
Eventually, there will be thousands of Starships going to Mars and it will a glorious sight to see! Can you imagine? Wow.
The fundamental existential question is whether humanity becomes sustainably multiplanetary before something happens on Earth to prevent that, for example nuclear war, a supervirus or population collapse that weakens civilization to the point where it loses the ability to send supply ships to Mars.
One of my biggest concerns right now is that the Starship program is being smothered by a mountain of government bureaucracy that grows every year. This stifling red tape is affecting all large projects in America, which is why, for example, California has spent ~$7 billion dollars and several years on high-speed rail, but only has a 1600 ft section of concrete to show for it!
While I have many concerns about a potential Kamala regime, my absolute showstopper is that the bureaucracy currently choking America to death is guaranteed to grow under a Democratic Party administration. This would destroy the Mars program and doom humanity.
It cannot happen. Your help would be much appreciated. This is a fork, maybe the fork, in the road of human destiny.
Peter Hague@peterrhague· 22. Sept. 2024Punting predictions for humans to Mars decades into the future is, in my view, largely political and not based on science and engineering.
If humans make in in the next 10 years, which is reasonably likely, it has to be SpaceX doing it. No other game in town - maybe the Chinese

The more that is spent, the worse it gets, because the money doesn’t go to the homeless, it goes to the hundreds of “charities” that then treat the homeless as sources of revenue.
The more homeless there are, the more money these organizations get, so their incentive is to increase, not decrease, homelessness!
Whatever you incentivize will happen.

The media has Elon Derangement Syndrome. This @TheEconomist piece calls @elonmusk a "billionaire conspiracy theorist" and they say he’s "egging me on" to end wokeness. He’s never even talked to me about this subject but it’s hilarious how he gets blamed for everything cool.

OK CA, hear me out.
Let’s redirect the budget for free million dollar houses that attract homeless, and DEI indoctrination session teams - and build four more nuclear plants and desalination plants instead, to let people take stronger showers, farm more, and pay less for water?

XAI is just more proof that claiming Elon Musk got lucky or managed to buy already successful businesses is pure cope. He somehow managed to build a mega GPU cluster and acquire a bunch of top AI talent, he literally did it again.

xAI built the most powerful AI training cluster in the world in 122 days, despite starting years after others.
Our competitors are moving as fast as they can. Just not as fast as @xAI.

SpaceX is ready to go for Starship Flight 5 launch and the most exciting Super Heavy booster mid-air catch manoeuver with Mechazilla ...
... but humanity has to wait 2 months for a handful of @FAANews bureaucrats to issue a piece of paper.

Starship belly flop maneuver is simply mind-blowing!
By belly-flopping, Starship increases its drag area by a factor of about 8, from ~70m² to ~545m², to significantly increase air resistance thus reducing its terminal velocity, which in turn reduces the fuel and peak
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 22. Sept. 2024
The main reason for coming in belly first is due to the subsonic orientation being a natural outcome of the center of mass and center of pressure being where they are needed for Starship to survive hypersonic heating by maintaining a ~70 degree angle of attack. Can’t come in engines first!
The high subsonic drag is helpful for lower terminal velocity, although the reduced propellant needed to slow down the ship is partially offset by the incremental propellant needed for the flip maneuver.
