Tesla has faced significant financial losses due to the Cybertruck, with free cash flow swinging to negative $1.09 billion and the stock experiencing a steep decline following disappointing sales and earnings reports. The Cybertruck's sales have been described as the steepest decline of any U.S. EV nameplate, contributing to a broader financial struggle for the company.

We. Told. Them. So.

I wouldn't buy one, would you? :)
 
8.9 million vehicles sold isn't too shabby and he planned on launching 12500 starlink satellites and did it. Why do you hate Musk? Is it a democrat thing? That's too bad because he's probably one of the most famous people on the planet. :)
Musk predicted he'd sell 250,000 Cybertrucks the first year it was on the market. He didn't even sell 50,000. And he sold less than 4000 this year. He doesn't have a good track record of delivering on his promises.

Telsa stock dropped below 300 today.

SpaceX stock is at 115 and falling.

There's not going to be a moonbase.
 
You want to hear something really interesting?

There's a small section of land between Egypt and Sudan called Bir Tawil. No one claims it as theirs. It sits there with no government and is not recognized by any governing body as a country.

It around 100 miles inland from the Red Sea on Africa's east coast. That's close enough to run an underground dual pipeline along the border for cooling water for a nuclear power plant and return it to the ocean. A nuclear plant run/owned/operated by the US.

The purpose of this plant would be multifold:

To provide jobs that require a higher education than herding goats.
To provide permanent infrastructure uncontrolled by either Islamic or tribal warlord/terrorist interests.
To provide energy to a continent lacking in sufficient energy to lift itself from world poverty status.
To create the beginnings of an infrastructure intended to foster economic change and solve some of the ongoing rampant hunger problem in Africa.

And more.

Bir Tawil sits there unclaimed and ready to begin Africa's journey into the future and no one cares. They're not interested in tossing money at it or using it to solve major problems. So the issue is neither money nor logistics, infrastructure, governance, poverty and conflict.

The issue is that no one has figured out how to profit from beneficence.
Or ... hear me out ... instead of building a nuclear plant in the desert 100 miles away from the water source it needs to prevent a Chernobyl-style catastrophe ... why not cover the Sahara with solar panels and run cables north and south?

Way cheaper and safer.

I don't care. I don't hate the man because he can't sell evs. Those I hate. :)
 
So, while I was doing a little bit of clandestine canoodling, my newsfeed decided to tell me that what's going to crash into the moon in a mid section of a Falcon 9 rocket from a previous mission. Apparently the mid section of the booster managed to escape earth's gravity and is not on it's way to punch our nearest celestial neighbor on the nose.

It's projected to impact next Wednesday somewhere near the Einstein crater.

The Moon sustains about 100 significant impacts per year.

Moon's Impact Statistics​

Annual Impact Rate​

The Moon sustains approximately 100 significant impacts each year.

Understanding Impacts​

  • Significant Impacts: These are defined as impacts that create noticeable craters or other geological features on the lunar surface.
  • Impact Frequency: The Moon's lack of atmosphere allows it to be hit by various celestial objects, including asteroids and meteorites, more frequently than Earth.
This high rate of impacts contributes to the Moon's heavily cratered appearance and provides valuable information about the history of our solar system.

Hope that ^ helps.

MAGAts are SO stupid - especially when it comes to science (some even look directly at a total solar eclipse without eye-protection…)

Why crash a rocket into the moon:

Calibrating equipment: Because the exact mass, speed, and location of the rocket impact were known, the seismic waves generated acted as a perfect baseline to calibrate the seismometers left on the surface by astronauts.

Probing the core: Studying how these artificial shockwaves traveled through the ground revealed the thickness of the moon's crust and the nature of its deep interior.

They want to know if it's hollow. Lol. :)

There was a crash into the moon once before during the Apollo missions. It rang for nearly an hour afterward.

That means it's hollow or what we know about the moon is false.

Well ...I heard that but thought it was in my head. Lol. :)

Wrong.

JFC, Derpy. Stop trying to science… or whatever it is you’re trying to do…

We already know the moon isn’t hollow 🙄

We’ve known for over 50 years.
