  • They have to. Because of the relative orbits, and rotation of earth, if they’re off by even a little, the pod might hit land instead, or be in a completely different location.

    This would be very dangerous for the recovery.

    It’s impressive, but also very necessary. Exact timing = exact landing location.


  • I’m sure it is real.

    There’s probably tons of DoD documents listing tons of unidentified flying objects.

    There’s definitely zero documents with any evidence of aliens.

    Just page after page of “this radar showed a weird blip, but when we looked, nothing was there.” And “this camera showed a strange light, we think it was an optical artifact in the lens train, but we couldn’t reproduce it exactly.”

    People are going to be very disappointed at the release.







  • That’s great and all, but not all batteries need lithium. When another battery technology gets mature enough to surpass lithium based batteries, then we’ll still be stuck on old tech cause the government is subsiding it.

    This also reduces the incentive for making more lithium efficient batteries.

    Subsidies can help, but they need to be more generalized so they don’t create issues moving past current tech. Heck, look at how much trouble we’re having getting past oil, that’s a perfect example.
