Would be pretty hard to get all that's needed. The metal 3D printer for the engines, capable of printing not just any metal but combustion chamber with one of highest chamber pressures in rocket history. Engine that can be relit at least 3 times and throttled down to 30%, and still provide the needed thrust. Software for guiding the rocket using the grid fins and gimbals of the engines to hit the pad; the precise relighting moment and thrust control to stick the landing (the engines even at the 30% have too much thrust to let the rocket hover, it must brake precisely to stop decelerating at the ground.) Sensors and telemetry systems calibrated to give the measurements needed for that. Logistics and procedures for fast turn-around. Damn complex mathematics to guide the descent precisely to the site without exhausting all the hydraulic liquid. Supercooled LOX infrastructure, plus logistics of fast fueling up so the LOX stays supercooled. Material engineering for the frangible leg inserts. SpaceX lost one booster due to supplier of bolts supplying them made of worse quality steel than usual, so the typical chinesium approach of China's manufacturers won't do, need to establish an entire new QA system to keep materials up to standard. And a good dozen failed landings before they get it right, in a culture where a prototype failure results in heads rolling.

People don't have the appreciation of how vastly different Falcon 9 is from all other launchers. It's only truly revolutionary in a couple respects, but it's simply made different in hundreds of others, and it just won't work if you don't copy them too. The organizational culture of SpaceX and their insane whackjob approach to engineering, more resembling Aperture Science than any aerospace corpo or NASA, are fundamental to their success, and completely incompatible with organizational culture of a dictatorship's government agency. In China a rocket engine blowing up means politbureau's cars taking a dozen of engineers to prison. At SpaceX it means lunch break.

With launches from the US China would be unable to launch classified payloads, never mind transporting any bulkier payloads would be a chore and a half. Plus they'd be dependent not only on Musk (who'd probably take their business just fine) but also on US government which could sanction China by blocking them from launching from the US at a whim.

The alternative would be a SpaceX refurbishment&launch facility in China, which I don't really believe is on the table. Musk would be wary of losing industrial secrets, and China still wouldn't be in full control of the launches, as US could still sanction SpaceX. Although I'd find it a cool trick if SpaceX transported new boosters to the new facility by launching them across the ocean.

I think the only viable option would be China licensing the technology from SpaceX. Which would cost them an arm and a leg, because SpaceX would almost certainly create a much cheaper competitor to itself that way, and lose massive profits long into the future, so the deal money would need to cover all these losses.

President says so.

And you're getting an F for your own research. That was not an event in contention. It's widely documented and you questioning it occurred at all means you live in a well-isolated echo chamber.

They were sourcing it from horse dewormer after CNN called it that when describing what Crowder was taking. Same situation with aquarium cleaner, and with inhaling bleach (Trump spoke about developing inhalant antiseptics. CNN called it bleach, got people hurt, blamed Trump.)

But no, it's not the CNN spreading medical misinformation... they didn't tell anyone to inhale bleach, they only claimed that Trump did.

Except the details of the laptop having been given to FBI months earlier, and to this day FBI has no clue where the laptop is, nor acted upon information retrieved from it in any way.

And the FBI raid on Project Veritas due to allegations of theft of Biden's relative's diary? Once again, a Biden's family member abandons something with spicy data and the finder gets in trouble.

And yet you keep repeating the same propaganda, "horse dewormer".

[Ivermectin](https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/ivermectin-oral-route/description/drg-20064397) is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved antiparasitic drug used to treat several neglected tropical diseases, including onchocerciasis, helminthiases, and scabies.1 For these indications, ivermectin has been widely used and is generally well-tolerated.

Yes, it's also used for deworming horses. Guess what? Lots of human medication compounds are also used in veterinary drugs as well.

You could just as well scoff at people drinking nuclear reactor coolant liquid, dihydrogen monoxide.

Or you can pay $3000 for a $2000 system without that. Just buy a Mac.

Sure if you are interested in reading how Elden Ring failed the minorities because it doesn't have a sufficient black representation among NPCs, and how Blackguard Bogart is a racist stereotype...

During work on my graduate thesis (alongside with another student - we were working on it jointly) if we had a part that required uninterrupted, undivided focus, "in the zone", progressing by strides - after about two hours I literally would feel the moment "my brain ran out of fuel" - minute to minute my cognitive ability dropping by strides, progress grinding to a halt. Half an hour of a break, an energy drink and a sweet pastry, and I was back to full capacity.

It was a money-printing machine. Sell coupons, pocket half the cash, provide a website. One employee could register like 10 bargains per hour, and each of these would rake in a couple $1000s. Add a couple admins to maintain the website, a couple marketing people to reach out and promote the business, and you're raking cash in, with token costs; cost per customer (business to promote) like $20, income like $2000.

It takes some incredible mismanagement to lose out on this business model.

It will support all EV charging standards except for Tesla. Make a grid Musk can't use, kill demand for his cars, Enemy Defeated!

You could probably copyright the entire collection. The individual parts that comprise the monkeys are definitely a creative work of an artist. The fact they were assembled algorithmically may remove copyrightability from the individual images, as the amount of creative input when making "yet another one" is near zero, but the collection as a whole definitely comprises a work of art.

Not that it really matters. No force exists to prevent someone from generating NFT of an illicit copy. The NFT is not the art itself, it's just an URL.

But it does point to a fundamental problem with these NFTs

It does point to a fundamental problem with NFTs. Period.

NFTs don't contain art. They contain URLs. URLs are fundamentally fungible. There goes non-fungibility of NFTs.
