SpaceX ramps South Texas activity to prepare for 2019 BFR spaceship testing
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: futurism, space travel
At the same time as the hardware for SpaceX’s first BFR spaceship is entering the early stages of manufacturing, the company’s South Texas test facility is slowly taking shape after more than 18 months of what can be fairly described as hibernation.
The likeliest location for a near-future spaceship test stand or pad has also experienced a comparatively vast influx of construction workers and general activity that began earlier this month September, nearly two and half years after SpaceX began preparing the unstable coastal wetland with the addition of several hundred tons of soil.
This viewpoint discusses increased life expectancy and the initiatives to address the risks and unintended consequences of living longer.

Tesla’s massive Powerpack battery in Australia cost $66 million and already made up to ~$17 million
Posted by Bill Kemp in category: futurism
We have already seen several pieces of evidence that Tesla’s massive Powerpack battery project in Australia is quite financially successful, but now we get all the numbers as Neoen, Tesla’s partner in the project, files for IPO.
The giant battery cost ~$66 million and it reportedly already made up to $17 million during the first ~6 months of operation.

These Wireless Earbuds Completely Embarrass Apple’s AirPods
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: futurism
In addition, they sound way better. Inside the completely wireless earbuds, there’s an 8mm custom dynamic driver that blows other headphones’ sound quality out of the water, and as for battery life, you’ll get three hours of it from these buds on a single charge, and the sleek carrying case holds an extra six charges on top of that.
The Axum Gear True Wireless Earbuds usually retail for $299.99. Great headphones don’t come cheap. For a limited time, though, we’ve found them on sale for an insane $149.99. That’s right: they’re exactly the same price as the AirPods right now. It’s clear who the winner is.

‘Deep Creep’ Movement Near San Andreas, San Jacinto Faults Explains Unusual California Earthquakes
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: futurism
Scientists discovered a strange movement deep below the Earth’s surface near California’s biggest fault lines.
Geoscientists who analyzed thousands of small earthquakes that occurred near the San Bernardino basin near California’s San Andreas and San Jacinto faults discovered a strange and unexpected type of movement 10 km below the Earth’s surface.
Researchers think that the movement, known as “deep creep,” could be behind the unusual earthquake formations recorded in the region over the past 36 years.
