Is no one going to address that the ElonGateD MuskR4t is using AIR FORCE ONE as a transport jet?

Ouch. The burn. It's not even a question of letting go. The Italian legal system is so, so f*ed up - filled with keystone cops, laws that are as flimsy as pasta, and designed to ruin lives and find quick answers rather than find justice.

Ten years of joy... and more years to come.

Dude, KG and Jack go back a long way... the tour was cancelled, not their *friendship*. Kyle effed up, and apologised, and the next tour happens when it happens.

We are just glad that you and your family are OK. Houses can be rebuilt … but lives, not so much.

32,000 houses more or less at last count? This fire is on a scale of the ones that devastated the Oakland Hills in the Bay Area.

Yes, there are extensive manual backups and various graceful degradations built in. Same as an airbus A-380 has. Many of the "glowing buttons" are hidden until needed behind cover panels. Right now Crew Dragon is (C)lassified but I look forward to a future coffee table book showing these systems.

Indeed. Some of my friends learned this the HARD WAY(tm) on cruise ships. No amount of sanitizer stops norovirus. Only soap, water, norovirus-killing disinfectant, and good hygiene practice will do the trick.

That was a very, very, messy cruise. So many people locked in cabins.

I mean, this is almost all the Bad Things(tm) put together in a single short video clip. It even resembles the VFX they used to depict Hell in Constantine ( the Keanu version )

I get what you're putting out there... but when it comes to flying a spacecraft at 17,000 mph I think this is where "less is more"

I do thing there are some VERY important subsystems that should be physical buttons, dials, valves, and such even in a cleanly implemented system.

Crew dragon : 2024

Things have improved :)

Truly, one of the most ridiculous things I have seen you choose to wear as far as clothing goes. It’s absolutely brilliant, and I’m sure you’re gonna wear it on the cruise.

Truly a dream job for the right person. Doing science education at the Field would be a very, very influential, tough, but rewarding job.

Hey, never say never! I think it would be a hoot to watch… you did offer to play A.B. after all…

If you get referenced on Saturday Night Live, you have definitely made it somewhere in the world. Who knows, maybe you could do the cold open someday!

Yep, and you can’t just make “instant lumber” - the fastest a company could sustainably add lumber capacity in the US is 10-20 years. Most of a generation would pass and by then demand would be even higher.
