Elon Musk: Rockets to Replace Airplanes?

Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, envisions a future where airplanes are replaced by spacecraft. Imagine traveling from New York to Shanghai in just 40 minutes, London to New York in 29 minutes, or New York to Sydney in 49 minutes.

This bold concept relies on the Starship rocket, capable of reaching speeds of 27,000 km/h. If realized, it could revolutionize long-distance travel, making the world more connected than ever before.

What do you think: Is this the future of transportation or just science fiction?

"The story around China issuing USD-denominated sovereign bonds in Saudi Arabia is generating an enormous amount of buzz in China, and could potentially be immensely important.

"I strongly suspect it's a message to the upcoming Trump administration.

"Let me explain what seems to be going on.

"Ok, that's all interesting but still not the main reason why Chinese social media is abuzz. The reason why is because they postulate that this is trial round by China to demonstrate to the US that they can effectively use their own currency against them, with potentially dramatic consequences."

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.

"We are governed, our minds molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.

"Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet.

"They govern us by their qualities of natural leadership, their ability to supply needed ideas and by their key position in the social structure. Whatever attitude one chooses toward this condition, it remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons— a trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty million— who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world."

Tucker: “This Is The Most Evil Thing I’ve Seen In My Lifetime”

Moon Hammer and Feather Drop
In 1971, during the Apollo 15 mission, astronaut David Scott conducted a famous science experiment on the Moon’s surface. He simultaneously dropped a hammer and a feather from the same height, demonstrating the concept of gravity and air resistance.

The Experiment
On August 2, 1971, Commander David Scott, a former Air Force pilot, performed the experiment at the end of the last Extravehicular Activity (EVA) of the Apollo 15 mission. He held out a 1.32 kg aluminum geological hammer and a falcon feather, releasing them from approximately 1.6 meters above the lunar surface. The objects fell to the ground without any air resistance, allowing them to demonstrate the same acceleration due to gravity.

Results
The hammer and feather fell at the same rate, striking the lunar surface simultaneously. This experiment confirmed Galileo’s centuries-old theory that, in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass. The Moon’s gravity, which is one-sixth of Earth’s, also played a crucial role in the experiment.

Significance
David Scott’s moon feather and hammer drop experiment was a groundbreaking demonstration of scientific principles in a unique environment. It showcased the validity of Galileo’s theory and highlighted the importance of understanding gravity and air resistance. The experiment has since become an iconic representation of scientific inquiry and experimentation.

Key Facts
Date: August 2, 1971
Location: Hadley Rille, Moon’s surface
Objects: 1.32 kg aluminum geological hammer and a falcon feather
Height: Approximately 1.6 meters above the lunar surface
Result: Both objects fell at the same rate, striking the surface simultaneously

Should you be concerned about deliberately provoking a nuclear power to retaliate?

"Donald Trump has a simple mechanism for dramatically shrinking the size of the state: it is conveniently called a Government Shutdown."
