Watched it around Christmas and thought it was still pretty entertaining.

I had a chance to talk with an engineer from the Apollo program recently and I asked him specifically about his predictions for future exploration of the moon and Mars and how he saw that going between NASA and private companies. HE told me he thought private companies were clearly going to be the path forward.

Why wouldn’t a ship like this have backup boosters or other rockets to adjust their trajectory in the case of an emergency?

I actually love him not showing his face. He is a mystery and part of the fun is trying to decipher his character and motives. I don’t expect to be told everything I need to know about a character in the first episode. Be patient!

I was just about to post this. The Razor Crest was shown flying over the village as he landed. That likely got their interest and they headed to town to see if they could find out more about whoever was piloting it.

I actually really like it, but there is no denying that it is weird.

Did someone say weird spoiler(s)?

At this point, I’m starting to think Lexus and Infiniti are over-rated, and Acura just plain suck.

Given that there is an entire droid character in the Mandalorian that exists to kill other sentient beings, I’d say no.

Wait, what? This is just after Return of the Jedi. The ending doesn’t mean what you seem to think it does.

Unrelated, but wouldn’t “Sprinkle On Civilians” be a great title for an oral history podcast about E-40?

depending on your phone’s charging port to aux port proximity, you couldn’t really charge and listen at the same time without getting all that feedback.

This all sounds really great right up until you remember that Starship is going to do it even more simply with way more lifting capacity.

If you watch the documentary that was made about their “GO” system, the same thing pops up there. The computer made some highly unorthodox moves that they originally thought were the system making mistakes, but actually turned out to be moves as part of a new strategy that the system had come up with on its own and…

If Tesla runs into severe financial difficulties, then their huge valuation vanishes and other automakers would look to acquire them.

I doubt they will actually vanish from existence. They are simply too valuable right now, especially for the supercharger network. Tesla existing as an independent company might still be up for debate, but I’m positive one of the major automakers would snap them up if given the opportunity.

New TIE variant in that poster?

I agree. I think we are headed for “A Star Wars Story” from here on out, which sounds awesome to me.

First was a brown, manual, RWD 1980 Toyota Corolla SR-5 hatchback . A true Jalop special.

Yeah. As it turns out, charging people an arm and a leg for your “revolutionary” products is a lot tougher when the product is tens of thousands versus a few hundred.
