The thing is, nobody sane takes an antique Aston Martin on a 4 hour trip. You take one out for 30-40 minutes and then have a rest. Or, you are using the car in an actual multi-day race, in which case you would obviously not undergo an electric conversion.
I expect very few classic car owners would both cruise in the town for fun, and also race with the same car.

Modded up, WHY?

Agree totally. In fact I liked ITS because that was already a cool sounding, functionally correct name for the product.

By naming things excessively or falling to name inflation ("starship" and "super heavy") they are limiting space travel for future psychology I think.

If they play any Jefferson Starship music during the launch video, I may sell my stock :(

That's nothing. They are not getting their AMZN stock anymore.

What has happened to Slashdot?

Yeah, no shit! It''s for staying in touch with colleagues who are not friends, after your employer gets acquired.

I don't make money from it but I lower my risk of unemployment for too long. That is kind of a virtual money I am not going to be losing.

Viracept was developed by Agouron Pharmaceuticals as part of a joint venture with Eli Lilly and Company. Whose seed work did they harvest?
Vancomycin was first isolated in 1953 by Edmund Kornfeld (working at Eli Lilly) from a soil sample collected from the interior jungles of Borneo by a missionary. Who contributed the seed work for that?
Tamiflu was discovered by scientists at Gilead Sciences, Inc.
Sure, there are many game-changing drugs that emerge from university research, but not all of them. I would bet that half of the game-changers since 1990 have emerged from basic, commercial research.

The polio vaccine was not a drug... Corporations do develop drugs.

Who is going to develop new drugs, once you nationalize american pharmaceutical companies?

Can't they?

And who's going to develop new drugs once you decommercialize medicine?

I'm using my definition from memory when I left the USA, which was 2005 :)
That was a reformatted memory from the Microsoft MCSE study materials, which said broadband was a signal split over multiple frequencies (frequency domain multiplexing).

1.5MB DSL *is* broadband...

Oh, and how are ships going to avoid this huge obstruction?
