I’ve heard of places doing solar panels above landfills as well. So if you tap it for methane, and then put panels over it, you can get even more energy out of the space.
Elon founding spacex in the first place had people laughing at him and the thought of him destroying all his wealth.
Jeff Bezos and his massive overcompensation of a dick rocket that can also land propulsively, but not worth discussing.
In case anyone doesn’t know why… it’s not an orbital rocket. It just goes up and down. Orbital is going up AND sideways very fast.
I tried to explain to someone months ago that SpaceX testing things to failure was part of their success, and gave an example like purposely leaving heat shield tiles off starship to see what happened, or launching a version of starship that didn’t have all the improvements that the next starship had, and they then came back saying that is exactly why they (and other people) hate SpaceX. They don’t know everything up front and they should!
I thought it was the boosters that were in retrospect pointlessly refurbished and would have been cheaper to make new.
Are you sure it was also the shuttle itself being cheaper to make new? The shuttle also took something like 6 months to refurb. Reusable, but not rapid.
Reusing f9, landing F9 on barge, and Stainless steel were his initiatives. The SS one was a particularly hard win for him with a lot of internal push back.
Catching Starship on the chopsticks might have been an idea he heard outside of SpaceX, but that he then championed, again to a lot of internal push back, I’m not 100% about it being an external to spacex idea though.
Edit clarity and below
Those are just examples though. And I’m sure there are times as you suggest that people suggest a difficult idea that he then champions as well.
That he can champion these radical things, his idea or not, is still the key point of his leadership that will be lost.
For example, someone must have suggested they use a full-flow staged combustion fuel cycle for raptor. He had to sign off on that. No one had ever designed and flown a engine like this before. The russians came closest making one, but never flew it. The predecessor to this engine in the 60s or whenever, NASA didn’t even think it was physically possible to make until the Russians made it.
fall of Afghanistan
You mean the fall that he orchestrated via trump?
If you want to consider that the start, Putin started it.
Serious question - is it nasa over spending, or is it congress forcing certain requirements on them making things more complicated that leads to over spending?
People really under estimate how important he is to SpaceX.
Reusing f9 1st stage - His initiative
Landing f9 on a barge - His initiative.
Making Starship Stainless Steel - His initiative
Catching Starship booster on chopsticks - His initiative.
The list goes on and on.
Without someone like him pushing for these radical things that everyone else thinks is impossible or a bad idea we wouldn’t recognize what SpaceX would be.
Instead we have things like starliner which is a disaster, and blue origin which started before SpaceX and has never reached orbit.
SpaceX would slowly transform back into ‘old space’ if he was forced out as there are very few people willing to take the risks he takes.
Edit: and it’s even very possible that the wrong CEO takes SpaceX public too soon which would make all the risk taking and fail fast development cycle they use impossible. Think of the stock crashing when a test flight fails and the pressure from investors around that.
I think the title need a little work…
How can I prove I’m dead?
Someone else can, but the title says I have to.
I mean that’s what the California law is.
If you buy it you own it, but we aren’t buying the games.
A law that says they have to let us buy it instead of license it would be nice though.

You appear to be wearing the wrong glasses. Try these ones one
OP: Tesla BAD! How dare Tesla!
Me: Tesla doing this doesn’t mean it’s going to be bad!
Hope that helps.
(edit: and all those votes came after my edits which were very early on)
He said eventually for the robot price. They’ve been designing it to be cheaper to build, so if they get it to the scale they’re talking (big if) then it doesn’t seem unreasonable to be that price.
Inductive charging has come a long way and doesn’t have to have as big a power loss anymore.
E.g this government research project had 120kw at 97% which is on par or better with existing fast charging methods.

Edit: Also anyone charging on a regular 120v outlet, which is really all most people need for at home charging, is in the low 80’s. Also Wiferon has ones commercially available at 93%.
So I did some looking, and as far as I can tell, there’s no definitive proof of someone testing this and reporting on it. It might just be all rumors and speculation.
Is that why AMD is able to bring out those new amd4 chips for gaming even though they’d moved onto am5?
Or was that just amd having some am4 capacity left?
Ah, gotcha. That would seem like overkill if that’s what would be needed.
In the not so distant future, people will begin turning their houses into faraday cages to ensure nothing can access the outside unless given proper permission.
There were some patent fights involved that resulted in features being altered.
That cant explain it all though.
