Comment Re: This was already done autonomously (Score 2) 23

The right word is "yet", but with how fast improvements go, I'd expect these (specially trained ai) robots to better handle unexpected situations as real human doctors do, within a decade, even within a couple of years. And that's a good thing, it means healthcare can be so much cheaper and more reliable.

So it takes days or if multiple used, hours. And it would have capabilities to jam communications. That would make them not really useful, as the satellite probably will have some mechanism if it looses coms, or if it is a little bit more advanced, it can communicate through lasers. Also, if it can jam communication of that satellite, it would jam its own communication too, I would recon. But then again, the US will probably also already have nukes in space.

Oh stop bitching about the government contracts and SpaceX, they are a godsend for the government as they provide a solid service and are the cheapest amongst most space contracts given out by the government, look as SLS, look at boeing and its faulty Starliner which had gotten double the money from NASA and has yet still to produce a working version, while crew dragon has delivered multiple missions already over the years already. So you can bitch what you want, but SpaceX is actually the best and cheapest solution at this time for the tax payers..

From the report So what does that mean? Power generating portion ready in 2027 and nuclear in 2030? So the whole thing won't work at least until 2030. So in 2027 you would get a part of the thing, which of course will cost billions of dollars, but in 2030 you will get the needed part to actually use it...

It's sad to say, but that's progress. Why keep people on if you can do it better faster and 24/7 through automation... Here it's another improvement on industrial robots, but AI is gonna replace even more jobs. Society has to change to a form where one does not need to work to be able to live, have a home/food/clothes/healthcare/etc.

That's the whole point, the canadian version is already used for many years and this is merely a demo using a non-practical glider. I do hope the canadian version will be upgraded with solid state soon, but we probably won't hear anything about it here on /. as it's not interesting anymore by that time.
