Fear Mongering at its finest everyone.

Not that anything about this is immediately feasible, but burning methane produces CO2 and Water, that’s it. CO2 is a hell of a less polluting gas than Methane is, so it won’t be that awful environmentally. That said, moving to a hydrogen/oxygen provided by solar electrolysis would be entirely clean, water into the…

If a next gen rocket were using Hydrogen and Oxygen as the fuel and oxidizer, it’d be basically clean, removing a decent amount of issues. Plus the people that can afford it early on would be the kind of people that have private jet’s on standby already. 1 rocket with 100 people on it might be better than 100 private…

People laugh, but these $100k trucks are often being purchased to haul $500k trailers and stuff like that, its not surprising at all...

Ships are the 18 wheeler’s of the sea right?

haha nope, big dealership chain in NJ area, they’ve got the entire spectrum from Kia to Aston Martin’s and everything in between.

Gimme another 0.1%!

I mean... we could just use Morse code via smoke signals to get our point across. What’s good is that its practically instant, and capable of over the horizon communications.

A pair of car batteries and a pair of 100w solar panels should be able to keep you online indefinitely, when emitting you can get global range on under 50 watts, and regional on even less. When receiving it’s under 10 watts draw, and when on standby its under 5 watts on some. A little bit of electricity goes a very…

I LOVE that. A simple 2 way text message system via something such as the Iridium network would go a very very long way.

I like to make the argument when describing the links made when making a cell phone call from say Austin Texas to Houston Texas: Cell phone > Cell tower > Telecom backend (from 3 to 30 hops probably between servers) > Cell tower > Cell phone.

Hell no am I suggesting that everyone do it. I’m screaming from the rooftops hoping that like, 1% to 0.1% of people might do it. That’d make a huge dent in communications issues.

Once again, the answer to emergency communications is Amateur Radio. Get some knowledge, get a license, get some equipment, get on the air.

Tell me what happens to the Confrontation clause of the 6th Amendment please?

What if instead of holding a 2500 pound battery and stuff over the car, you just make the tender be a low profile wedge shape, that can shove itself under the car you want to charge with some jacks that can grab the mount points and move the car up a bit so it can fit under. Tilt the car ~15 degrees to one side and…

That flat black finish on it with minimal branding really harkens back to the prototypes unlocked in Gran Turismo. I wish they’d keep it! I’m super excited for their combination though, if they get it right it should be spectacular.

The most effective way to stop an attempted rape in progress is likely a firearm. A taser might be a distant second, with pepper spray an even more distant third.

Ugh, being a responsible adult doing adult things instead of watching racing and going to parties must be so hard. Congrats!

Well, its already waterproof, so could just use an impact protection case.

yeah F1 is a mad house relatively. WEC is absolutely fantastic how open it is. GA covers pretty much all you’ll need/want.
