Cont: Musk, SpaceX and future of Tesla II

the rest of the cyber truck is huge and weirdly shaped so the bed looks tiny. lot like a giant tall guy with huge muscles looks like he has this really tiny weiner. it’s actually merely a smaller than average sized weiner that looks a lot more tiny due to the rest of the guy being huge
 
he’s right too by the way. musk bought twitter to try and control speech. cost him a lot of money and made it irrelevant instead
 
Musk hired to destroy ISS space station.
What's he going to do, rename it X?

No lie, though, it's gonna be fascinating to see what they do to decom the ISS. Will they de-orbit one component at a time? Thats what I would do, probably.

I have an image of Musk riding the ISS into the atmosphere, waving a Stetson like Slim Pickens.
 
Seriously, what kind of expertise does SpaceX have in dealing with Space Debris, apart from Starlink at any time being a hair's breath away from triggering a Kessler Syndrome?

Looks to me like a barely disguised trick of shovelling money his way.

I'm not sure deorbited satellites count as space debris. It's probably more about delivering the decom crews and supplying them while they do the work, and bringing them safely home again once they undock from the last remaining module. So, the usual experience for that kind of thing: Crewed spaceflight to LEO, orbital rendezvous, crewed reentry. All things that SpaceX is demonstrably able to do.

It seems like what NASA (or whoever) is saying is that they'd rather have SpaceX service the decom missions, rather than ULA/Boeing. And that seems like a reasonable decision to me.

Please stop with the inconvenient facts - they're spoiling the narrative!

Elon Musk purchased Twitter and refused to continue censoring democrats' political opposition.

Yet more proof that Musk is a malignant narcissist.

I mean come on! Supporting free speech is one thing, but permitting speech we don't agree with is going too far. :mad:

I'm guessing The 'weirdly shaped' bit is what makes you think the bed looks 'tiny'. Conventional pickup trucks have a separate cab and bed body, so the size of each is clearly delineated.

But take a look at this Ford F-150 - which bit looks like huge muscles, and which bit is the tiny wiener?

All trucks are just fashion statements. In sane countries, if you are in the business of hauling building materials around, you don't ue a truck, you use a van like this: https://images.app.goo.gl/Q1vUjaeSvXTn4GCy6

It has vastly more carrying capacity than probably any truck, the convenience of sides that can be lowered and is probably more efficient.

All trucks are basically just penis extensions, pretty much like all sports cars (I say that as an Audi S3 owner).

You can tell the practical tradies by the van they use.

I didn't say **** about the size of the bed, did I? Reading comprehension aside, I'll throw you two a bone:



In non-tech speak, they're **** to use for hauling stuff. I seriously thought that was so clear by what I said, but here we are.

Correct, you did not say **** about the bed and what you did say was very clear, and I will quote you
It pisses me off that it's called a truck. That's not a truck. It's an SUV. If you can't fit anything bigger than a bicycle in the vehicle easily then it's definitely not a truck.

Trucks have an open bed, SUVs are fully enclosed.

I could call the Cybertruck a panel van, but I don't live in a fantasy land where I get to make up my own definitions.

Given Starlink's low orbit, it can't trigger Kessler Syndrome. Starlink satellites are in a low orbit that requires periodic thrust to maintain and without that thrust their interaction with the atmosphere will deorbit them naturally. They can't become space junk.

I have no idea what the hell this even means, but I also don't care. Now that Roger has shown up I'll see myself out. I'm not some Musk hater, I've given him props for things he's done, and I don't use X so I don't care, but there is nothing I hate more than blind fanbois that think Musk does no wrong. Now that we're into the area where implying I give a **** who gets what voice, and you guys enthusiastically patting each other on the back, waiting to see who gets to eat the bread, makes me sad for society. I'll let you all get back to it.

The Cybertruck tray length is not quite that. The length at the rim is only 66". There is a slope at the cabin wall for some reason.

Fact check: true.

The bed dimensions are similar to, Chevrolet/GMC, Dodge/RAM, Nissan, Toyota etc. There have been tens of millions of them sold over the decades. Most people will still call them trucks, not SUVs.
