Truth. But as we enter an era where space craft routinely fly with no operators - it isn’t unheard of to reconsider terminology used up to this point, since the circumstances have changed.

I think you overhype his dedication to the task. He models his space company after oldspace giants like Boeing. This craft was extensively tested before any humans set foot in it. And his space program dreams are more akin to “be the biggest logistics company in cislunar space” than “spread humanity to the stars.”…

There’s a world of difference between a government funded flags and footprints mission, and viable commercial activity. They’re both noteworthy milestones, but one is a first dip of the toes while the other is the start of the landslide.

The Kármán line was originally proposed as 50 miles, by Theodore von Kármán. Later debate has moved it around, and is by no means settled - it is after all a fuzzy line. Depends on space weather, technology, etc.

Spin up an open wifi in a public location and see how long it takes people to join. People just don’t care.

The mere fact that the devices are still bootable means they aren’t bricked.

It’s not intended for presentation that way? There’s not really an inherent link in quality sound engineering and good looks, just certain popular looks and styles from the older eras. Pop the cover on it like intended — If you want a speaker that looks good *as a speaker* you need to buy different gear.

FWIW, I’ve got two of the bookshelves and one lamp and they’re pretty good. I can see adding a wall speaker to the mix too, but not at $200 - I’ll wait for the price to drop some.

Most devices have cords, though .... A happy life is one with well managed cords, not an absence of them.

Ikea Symfonisk speakers are an affordable entry into the Sonos ecosystem. Same guts, different (attractive) exteriors. Ikea does have lots of cheap particle board flatpack, but they’ve also got solid wood, metal, a variety of qualities, etc. The “Ikea sells cheap flimsy furniture” meme is crazy, since most box stores…

On my MM2 there are in-app flight logs, but there’s also a Misc folder on the SD card containing a DAT log that can be converted to a CSV with the right tools.

Fir all we know with the current information, the drone could have been snatched in permissible space by a hawk ( completely plausible with historical evidence) and dropped where it was later found. Again, not enough information.

Can you give some citations for me facing legal difficulties for inspecting hardware dropped and abandoned on my own property?

Comment sections were a mistake.

As much as I can jump on board lots of police hate, I cannot see the legal issues with examining evidence that fell from the sky into a place it did not belong.

Every word of that is ultimately irrelevant drivel. They were once a successful species, and we have encroached heavily on their natural breeding grounds. Humans are causing their death. We can choose to let them die, or intervene - since we did the harm in the first place, we often choose to intervene.

I’m saying the explosions in Texas have nothing to do with the technology that will be landing on the Moon. On the Moon the entire flip and burn maneuver is gone, and Starship lands with simple retrograde thrust, no violent dynamic events. And it is likely it won’t even land on the engines seen in Texas, since they’ve…

When you first suggest it just keels over, then point to R&D explosions as fine justification for your concern (one being solved by simple physics, the other the result of developing a landing method that has no involvement with reaching the moon --- Yeah, it’s concern trolling. You’re too divorced from reality, and…

In what way is an elevator to the surface a threat or problem? It’s a simple piece of well understood hardware.

Sorry for the late reply, I sometimes don’t visit here for months.
