What’s in Microsoft’s dossier for Gizmodo?

Wait, why would you need the FAA’s permission to do anything once you left the atmosphere? Or do they consider their jurisdiction to be infinite once you leave the ground and everyone else agrees?

It may be that, but I think its mostly this. We’ve barely left our neighborhood; it’s too early for sweeping assumptions.

• I wonder if it was the impact, or the heat that caused it? Taken from the linked article:

Honestly this one can probably be filed under “nearly unavoidable.” We’ve normalized carrying potentially explosive devices everywhere we go (mostly because of public ignorance of the energy density of these things and what that means when it all goes wrong). And market pressures have driven sizes below any point…

The words “heat” and “noise” don’t appear in a “review” of a device that has been shrunk and a power supply integrated into it. Fundamental design and user interests are not addressed, instead focusing on the obvious.
