Es lohnt sich auf so viele Arten nicht: Was uns Elon Musk nicht üner das Leben auf dem Mars erzählt. Ein spannendes Gespräch über all die technischen, finanziellen, biologischen und moralischen Probleme, die Raumfahrt zum reinen Marketingstunt für die Firmen der Oligarchen macht:
Seeing some people read the news about #Boeing and #SpaceX and concluding that Elon Musk should build planes - which makes me wonder if they've ever heard of #Tesla
The biggest problem, as I understand it, is that he and Larry Ellison (another insane nut) hold the majority of the stock so the board can't get rid of him like they need to do.
He needs to get booted out of management of #Tesla and #SpaceX or both of them are going down despite the fact that muskrat has nothing to do with the innovation in either company but the people who are doing it are suffering
Elon Musk uses sci-fi dreams like colonizing Mars to distract us his real business goals and how SpaceX has trampled workers’ rights and the environment to achieve them.
If we ever hope to build a better future, we need to stop falling for false futures.
This galaxy-like ‘SpaceX spiral’ was photographed over Iceland in early March, against a backdrop of the Northern Lights. The phenomenon is caused by sunlight bouncing off frozen crystals of excess fuel as they are jettisoned by a spinning rocket. The rocket — a SpaceX Falcon 9 that had blasted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California — released more than 50 small satellites into low Earth orbit before burning up in the atmosphere over the Barents Sea.
What awful company (for an awful anti-union crusade) to be keeping.
"#TraderJoe’s joins #Starbucks as well as Elon Musk’s #SpaceX and #Amazon, which have all filed legal papers in hopes of shutting down the NLRB for good."
#PPOD: What may look like a strangely nearby galaxy is actually a normal rocket's exhaust plume -- but unusually backlit. Like noctilucent clouds, the plume's brightness is caused by the Twilight Effect, where an object is high enough to be illuminated by the twilight Sun, even when the observer on the ground experiences the darkness of night. The spiral shape is caused by the Falcon rocket reorienting to release satellites in different directions. Credit: Seung Hye Yang
"We are talking abt the possibility of panoptic or near panoptic targeting and surveillance from space."
"China has clinically studied us & our dependency on space, & figured out exactly what they think our architecture looks like & now is rapidly building systems to hold that architecture at risk"
Human civilization is about 6000 years old, & we're still trying to kill each other.
In 📆 2022, the #SpaceIndustry was estimated to be worth US$350 billion 💵 and is projected to grow 📈 to more than one trillion 💰 dollars over the next two decades. Actors such as #SpaceX already own a majority of the #LEO#satellites 🛰️ . In the absence of a concerted global 🌏 dialogue, individual countries are pushing ahead with their own laws. Usually, international arrangements tend to arise 🥱 when there is a real risk of #conflict. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00722-4
