Comment Try the moon 1st, at least they can return (Score 1) 99

an initial human landing that lasts 30 days, followed by an uncrewed cargo delivery to facilitate a longer 300-day crewed mission on the surface of Mars. It's a 1 way ride..death sentence. Let the committee co-chaired by Newman and Linda T. Elkins-Tanton be the first ones to go !!!

Comment Aptera Motors Inc. 2006,but was liquidated in 2011 (Score 1) 31

Aptera Motors Inc. 2006, but was liquidated in 2011 with no vehicles mass-produced. A second company named Aptera USA owned by Zhejiang Jonway Group was launched in 2012 but it produced no vehicles. A third company, Aptera Motors Corp, was relaunched by the original founders in 2019. The company had raised $140 million from 2019 to April 2025, and had planned to start deliveries of its vehicles since 2021. As of April 2025, initial sales of the vehicle are planned for 2026 and full-scale production is planned for 2028. So longest running scam for 19 years....If you read their investor's statement, it has a lot of red flags !

Comment Small death trap in bad accident (Score 1) 204

A kei car can go anywhere from around 60 to 85 mph, though it is most comfortable and recommended to drive them at 50–60 mph. While they can reach higher speeds, it puts significant stress on the engine and is not ideal for sustained driving. The main drawbacks of owning a kei car are safety concerns due to their small size, performance limitations like a lack of power, and difficulties with maintenance, parts sourcing, and registration, especially in countries like the United States. They are often not suitable for highway driving and may have poor sound insulation, lack modern features, and be top-heavy. Safety and performance Safety: Kei cars are more vulnerable in crashes with larger vehicles. Many imported models are old and lack modern safety features, and their compact size increases the risk in front-end collisions. They can also be top-heavy, making them prone to rolling over. Underpowered: Engines are typically limited to $660$cc and \(63\) horsepower, making them feel slow and underpowered, especially on hills. Poor handling: Some models have a lack of responsiveness, with body roll, and can feel unstable, particularly in the rear end in wet conditions. Highway limitations: Their small size and lack of power make them unsuitable for extensive highway driving.

Comment "Trump Accounts" what can go wrong... (Score 1) 163

where the U.S. Department of the Treasury will deposit $1,000 into investment accounts set up by Treasury for American children born between Jan. 1, 2025 and Dec. 31, 2028. And where is this $1,000 coming from ?? Regular tax payers ? The Dells' gift will use the "Trump Accounts" infrastructure to give $250 to each qualified child under 10... that will buy a couple of books, maybe.
