Elon, there's a reason why the 'Cold Fusion is 20 years away' grifters pick out such a long period of time.

If you trust Elon at this point your painful demise in space is on you.

Hoping for another OceanGate situation on the way to Mars with Musk on board.

I hope all of those guys just board the Bezos giant dick rocket and literally иди нахуй.

don't drive it in the rain, or get it wet

Don't expose it to bright light or charge it after midnight either

Should be noted that Mogwai are originally from China.

Therefore, the Cybertruck is an attempt by Elon to steal technology from overseas.

"staninless steel" ???? jesse-wtf

For the love of god titanium and niobium exists, lmao what a joke

stainless steel is heavy as fuck, how on earth can they justify that over better more lightweight materials, weight is an incredibly important thing on rockets

the day musk goes to Mars is when China collapses

China targets 2030 for Mars sample return mission, potential landing areas revealed

Its curious to see how much more modest in statement the China missions happen to be. And yet, in practice, they are vastly more ambitious than what Elon offers. They're laying the groundwork for a real interplanetary expedition while Musk just spins new grifts on top of old ones.

Same with self driving cars

[-] huf@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

they've got self-crashing cars now, so they're nearly there

What do you meeeaaan it's gonna be several thousand years before I can become a prima undine in Neo-Venezia, Mr Elongated Muskrat says that human colonization of Mars is five years away

[-] Lucien@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

He's going to use a fusion reactor to power the ship

While musk’s antics are pure stupidity, something that has at least come out of it is its influence in the push for more reusable rockets and influencing chinas long march 9 plans. All credit of course goes to the SpaceX engineers and not musk.

We're approaching an emergent debomination of time-keeping.

One Musk-unit is 9 Friedman-units.
