Winning ‘Motor Trend’ Car of the year is probably the closest thing to winning the Oscar or Emmy of the car industry.
You could warm Mars up, over time, with greenhouse gases.
Even if producing CO2 was good for the environment, given that we’re going to run out of hydrocarbons, we need to find some sustainable means of operating.
Boeing just took $20 billion and 10 years to improve the efficiency of their planes by 10 percent. That’s pretty lame. I have a design in mind for a vertical liftoff supersonic jet that would be a really big improvement.
Automotive franchise laws were put in place decades ago to prevent a manufacturer from unfairly opening stores in direct competition with an existing franchise dealer that had already invested time, money and effort to open and promote their business.
An asteroid or a supervolcano could certainly destroy us, but we also face risks the dinosaurs never saw: An engineered virus, nuclear war, inadvertent creation of a micro black hole, or some as-yet-unknown technology could spell the end of us.
My vision is for a fully reusable rocket transport system between Earth and Mars that is able to re-fuel on Mars – this is very important – so you don’t have to carry the return fuel when you go there.
A battery by definition is a collection of cells. So the cell is a little can of chemicals. And the challenge is taking a very high-energy cell, and a large number of them, and combining them safely into a large battery.
You need to be in the position where it is the cost of the fuel that actually matters and not the cost of building the rocket in the first place.
Selling an electric sports car creates an opportunity to fundamentally change the way America drives.
Self-driving cars are the natural extension of active safety and obviously something we should do.
I’m personally a moderate and a registered independent, so I’m not strongly Democratic or strongly Republican.
I’m glad to see that BMW is bringing an electric car to market. That’s cool.
I’m a Silicon Valley guy. I just think people from Silicon Valley can do anything.
I’d like to dial it back 5% or 10% and try to have a vacation that’s not just e-mail with a view.
I think we are at the dawn of a new era in commercial space exploration.
I’m reasonably optimistic about the future, especially the future of the United States – for the century, at least.
If anyone has a vested interest in space solar power, it would have to be me.
Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It’s really counterintuitive.
Nobody wants to buy a $60,000 electric Civic. But people will pay $90,000 for an electric sports car.
