It's kind of perfect that Musk has ended up producing a car, "The Roadster", which will never be allowed on any roads.

Knowing how venal Trump is, it's impossible not to suspect that this Lukoil discussion isn't a big part of his pivot over Ukraine and this diesel nonsense. He's not doing it for the mid-terms (he has other plans for that), he's doing it for the lucre. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

To put another perspective on this 300,000 tons is literally just a couple of tankers worth. Very Large Crude Carriers carry between 160-319,000 tons each and there are 230 of them in the Shadow Fleet! It's a political signal more than anything else. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is so poor from CNN. The reason Spacex lost money and Starlink makes it is that Musk uses an accounting trick to shift his profits. He charges Starlink $0 for it's deployment launches. Everyone knows this, it's shocking journalism to miss this out of the story. CNN share.google/MrINXEWhm0N4...

Quite from CNN saying that SpaceX lost $542 million from it's space segment whereas Starlink made $1.7 billion.

The not so hidden subtext of all this total F.U.D being put out by the Technocrats over AI is that they are, now, or soon will be, more powerful than any Government. Otherwise the Gov's would simply be saying to the CEO's: we will hold you criminally responsible, for the actions of your Agents.

Hey Loganair, what's the point of putting a countdown timer on your TARTAN sale if you don't have the server capacity to deal with demand? It's like trying to buy Oasis tickets, but I'm only trying to get to Birmingham.

The furthest Starship has ever gone from Earth is.. 145 miles. That is 0.000103571428571% of the way to Mars or 0.060706% (1/16th of one percent) of the distance to the Moon. It's barely a space-ship, let alone a star-ship.

I didn't know the BBC doesn't own it's broadcasting network. Those Tory f*ckers sold everything. They sold the IBA (which broadcast ITV), then sold off the BBC's resources to "introduce competition". Who runs both of them now? Arquiva, owned by Macquarie (Australia). Competition my arse.

I don't know what to think about all the alarm calls over Labour's defence plans, but I do know that almost the entire defence sector has been privatised so whatever extra money is found is going straight down the throats of the companies that have been creaming us rotten for the last 30 years.

In Space, no-one can hear you.. burp.

Text block: "It is impossible to burp in space, because in microgravity the human stomach cannot separate gas from liquid and partially diverted food it sits inside, and any attempt to burp expels a mixture of all three directly into the astronaut's mouth."
