True, or a plasma jet (highly charged) coming out the back toward the sun. Brussard Polywell Fusion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P... reactors that the Navy is building for next generation of ships (electromagnetic catapults and rail guns) would build a nice infrastructure not only for the interplanetary ship but also for the on-planet outpost.

SpaceX is going to radically change launch costs with reusable fly-back boosters.

+1

I would think this is a waste considering they have Project Morpheus http://morpheuslander.jsc.nasa... and also both SpaceX https://www.youtube.com/watch?... and Armadillo https://www.youtube.com/watch?... already have landers capable of this.

You will be able to in a few years when the Model E comes out!

It's just you.

She seems happy enough, her Firefox works the same and Thunderbird works ok for her.

For my wife's computer was to wipe Windows and install Linux. She's getting used to it, and other than the way it looks sees very little difference. For me, it's way more supportable and stable.

I sell my old phones.

The Tesla Superchargers are not in heavily populated areas. They are along major routes in areas that aren't served by other charging possibilities. Also, if you look at http://www.teslamotors.com/sup... you will see that by 2015 they will have many, many more superchargers than the current cross country list. Eventually you will be able to do a battery swap. $60 and 90 seconds. Or you can wait for a charge and in an hour get a 'free' charge. Yes, I'm a fan, and no, I cannot afford one currently, but by the time the Model E comes out I will definately in the market. I just hope it doesn't look like a Smart and has performance similar to the current Model S.

I agree with this assessment. Be honest. If management doesn't believe you, quit and go somewhere else. Usually when you try to quit they will freak out and realize you were serious and try to keep you, on your terms.
