Comment mind games to condition us (Score 1) 244

It could all be a mind game to condition us to be ok with jet engined powered data centers. We focus on the logistics of it all that we put 10k, 20k, 30k launches a year on the back burner for environmental impact. In 6 months he turns around and states instead he will start with "test" data centers here on earth but to get that 6x solar multiplier he gets in space he needs to supplement with rocket fuel.

Fake it until you make it has become the norm. Stretching the truth knowing you can is not ideal but has been done many times. Outright lies are criminal and should be prosecuted.
Shame on Forbes for rubber stamping these frauds and giving them the air of legitimacy without doing their due diligence. I hope Forbes takes a hit for this as well.

I predict if it ever sees the light of day it will die a horrible death by being overpriced and underwhelming.

128gb, at 5k, 60fps using the Apple Watch battery . The battery will last all day long (18 hrs or so) if you don't do much more than ask for the time. Use the camera it could last 30-45 minutes but you'll run out of storage after about 7 minutes. Dare to stream and your battery will probably last 15 minutes.

Just one more thing.. for only $400 more you can get 256gb of storage (what a deal)

Submission + - Can we afford a space ambulance back to earth

sziring writes: Unless you live under a rock (or in a Moon crater) you are fully aware of the renewed space race. Who will be the first to establish a base on the Moon or Mars? Are we actually ready for such an undertaking both technically and morally? The fact that an astronaut needed to be shuttled back to earth early from the ISS is a telling sign we aren't ready to deal with medical emergencies in the near future. Yes, the Moon and Mars are important first steps to deeper exploration, to what ends I cannot answer. There are plenty of articles and videos out there of all the ways space can kill you. Even NASA has a more friendly article of the "dangers" space presents. We have all seen the articles about knowing that signing up for a Mars mission is a one way ticket, but do we really mean it? What about the Moon? Do we ferry every medical issue back to Earth? Are we ready to draw a line and inform them on Earth you would have survived but due to budget constraints it doesn't look like you will.
