@engineers_feed 49 years later, games are photo-realistic 3D worlds. What does that trend continuing imply about our reality?

@GerberKawasaki We had to shift some Starlink satellite orbits to reduce probability of collision. Not great, but not terrible either.
Station & Dragon have micrometeorite shields (ultra high velocity impact absorption), but EVA suits do not, hence higher risk for spacewalk.

@TeslaGong @GerberKawasaki Suits will need to be made in high volume at an affordable cost & be much easier to use

@micsolana The overarching problem is that we need better mental firewalls for the information constantly coming at us.
Critical & first principles thinking should be a required course in middle school.
Who wrote the software running in your head? Are you sure you actually want it there?

@Tesmanian_com If a severe global recession were to dry up capital availability / liquidity while SpaceX was losing billions on Starlink & Starship, then bankruptcy, while still unlikely, is not impossible.
GM & Chrysler went BK last recession.

@Tesmanian_com The magnitude of the Starship program is not widely appreciated. It is designed to extend life to Mars (and the moon), which requires ~1000 times more payload to orbit than all current Earth rockets combined.

Don’t waste your money on that silly Apple Cloth, buy our whistle instead!

@Rainmaker1973 But lower power density than a human

@Rainmaker1973 And the sun is technically green, as measured by peak photon count

The sun is absurdly, overwhelmingly the source of energy in our solar system

Doesn’t even need maintenance – just works!

@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Starship will enable a quantum leap in deep space & planetary science

@sama I thought nothing could be nuttier than ‘99
