There are no EBE remains. But net-energy gain fusion has been achieved for the second time.

Dang. Elon turned out to be a transphobic high-school libertarian jackass. I appreciate his contribution to changing the game in rocketry and electric vehicles - but wow... toxic personality.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=groovychk&ditemid=317222" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://groovychk.dreamwidth.org/317222.html surprised public 3 https://groovychk.dreamwidth.org/316996.html Fri, 09 Feb 2018 06:05:47 GMT https://groovychk.dreamwidth.org/316996.html Wow. 2018. Turning half a century old tomorrow. This isn't the future I imagined at all. Thank God for Elon Musk. At least there's a little chance we'll get off this rock. Gen X for the save! <br />Otherwise - what a dumpster fire of a year 2017 was. 2018 doesn't look like it's going to change the trend. I long for those days in the early 1990s when everything seemed like it was still possible and peace seemed achievable. What a sad place we've come to.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=groovychk&ditemid=316996" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://groovychk.dreamwidth.org/316996.html disappointed public 0 https://groovychk.dreamwidth.org/316840.html Mon, 02 Jan 2017 16:44:13 GMT https://groovychk.dreamwidth.org/316840.html Further into the future we go. Closing in on the end of the second decade of the 21st century. Young me didn't predict anything about this future. Lots of neat things (mostly the internet) but I can pretty honestly say that 1970s and 1980s me would have been quite disappointed.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=groovychk&ditemid=316840" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://groovychk.dreamwidth.org/316840.html public 0
