Flying through space is easier said then done.

This is like the Hyperloop all over again…

Did it achieve hypersonic speed?

How far did it fly? How fast? How high?

Starship has never flown…

You have to have capability to be compared. Currently no rockets have ever done commercial transportation from one place to another.

And he has to buy everything in store. No online shopping. All cash.

> I’m talking about apple employees, the part where I said “They work for apple” probably should have clued you in…

oh duh. and all those apple employees driving to the office causing traffic and increasing housing prices in the local area don't affect anyone else...

In a thread I saw someone say they were looking forward to everyone coming back to the office. But people pointed out traffic would be worse, the office would be loud, and other general annoyances. I’ve been mixed since it started and I can say when I start missing one reality hits and I realize I don’t. Home is just better for a lot of reasons, but for me it’s mostly sleeping in. And traffic just sucks.

> Now in it's 4th year, I'm dying to go back. Socializing with people from behind screens (no one even turns their camera on!) and owning equipment you can't hold or interface with, it's really lost its charm.

I think people are having graduation glasses. everyone starts going back to the office 5 days a week and people will realize it wasn't as great as they remember...

> Not so ‘trash’ is it?

it is when it costs $4k to rent an apartment or $2m to buy a house...

> They work for apple pretty sure they can

you realize housing and traffic affects everyone, right? not just the people working at Apple...

Layoffs are short term stock gain, long term losses. You lose talent, have to pay tons of severance, and lots of efficiency loses due to distractions.

So?

Just pointing out that it will take a decade plus to get enough people and MFG capabilities on the moon before it’s easier then doing it on Earth and sending to the moon.

Cool. But it won’t be viable for 10+ years…

Full jobs, no. But if could cut your workload in half, meaning you need less people to do the same job. It could write product reviews, performance reviews, job listings, real estate listings, etc.

This opinion is what leads to terrible societal decisions at the detriment of the environment. We need food so over fishing is NBD. Plastic is amazing so use it everywhere. Strip mining…. We can do satellites w/o running astronomers view. Space telescopes might be better but land ones are way easier to make…

CNET has labeled the them the most unreliable (out of ~30) for a couple years. That’s terrible for a “high end” brand.

EVs have lower maintenance costs over their life. And they can charge at the office.

sounds right; boring company is vaporware.
