And Some People Wonder Why

But what is not a struggle?. It's just about being focused and having a positive outlook and striving to succeed in something.

It's absolutely a nightmare dealing with this large number of huge databases.

Ha, welcome to my world.
Luckily, one of our databases narrowly avoided being classified as SOX...

I know Tesla is in trouble last time I read,as far as his rocket,a struggle too.

Struggle is at the heart of innovation. Without struggle, there is no need for innovation. Manufacturing and innovation are tied at the hip.
This is at the core of the tariffs with China. America is falling behind as an innovative leader and we were losing our ability to effectively innovate.

Financially .I get the mistakes and deaths .

The idea of NASA space exploration was to one up the ruskies.fear of them being able to attack us from space ,not that they also didn't think that but they were power hungry ,not that we can't use said power wrongly.

I live close to nasa ,I have watched elon's failures ,I have photo of a rocket seconds before explosion

Wouldn't you love to see Edison's failures?

The direct current wars,his utility grid idea isn't what we use ,but Tesla .

He visited Stuart ,florida or nearby often

I was just trying to show how far we've innovated since Edison.
For example, electricity has really opened up our world. It made computers possible. In our homes, we went from oil lamps to light our homes, to incandescent bulbs, then cfl and now led. None of this came without many failures. The money that went into R&D was well worth every penny because each failed attempt was a learning opportunity.

When we stop failing, we stop innovating because we've gotten lazy and comfortable.

Luke 5:39 NIV
And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, 'The old is better.'"

Were not called to get comfortable in any aspect of our life, including our faith. Jesus preached innovation and he teaches us immerse our faith in innovative ways.

Where do You get the idea i was anti innovation ?

It has been said my mind is a very much a, computer ,I remember old routes and have read a few without a machine and missed only,one or two .

Water and electric .I,,say that because often our ideas are based on others ,power lines,poles based on,telegraph .also on,a commercial scale Edison did it but many plants ,lumber yards had light and power .

Oh, sorry about that.

So, you actually saw Elon's rockets explode? That would be kinda cool to see. Kinda like a multimillion dollar firework. ?

In orbit was the last one I photographed ,and yes

Well "effective" innovation isn't always what it seems. We spent millions on developing an ink pen that would write in weightlessness of space...so the astronauts could take written notes in space. Today these are the pressurized cartridges that are sold for your high end ink pens.

The Russians used a pencil.

Hard drives in computers that are common today were first developed in the early '70's. The world was using hard drives the size of refrigerators...the technology was shelved until they developed a product to sell it in.

Even your cell phone hard drives were developed in the mid '70's.


A lot of today's tech was developed long ago...

Those are nice. I used to like to lay on the couch and do the New York Times crossword puzzle. Those pens let me write with the pen upside down. Regular ones can only write with the tip pointed in the general direction of the earth's centroid. I use a pen rather than a pencil because the ink is easier to read.

I hope Elon and others do invent useful gadgets.

Ha,
I remember looking at my first terabyte. The drive was the size of a stove and the disc was huge!
Now everything is solid state.

 

[jasonc]

Which most repair techs throw away when bad.

My step daughter wanted to fix her tv and couldn't find the cable connector repair kit,glue in versus solder.

Solid state drives were perfected in 77 I think...my father, working for HP, was on the prototype line...he told us about each of these inventions as they were developed. And promptly shelved.

Unfortunately nothing is the same today as it was yesterday.

It used to be that you worked hard for a company that made something and at the end of 30+ years you retired fat and happy.

The business model that made this true no longer exists.
Employees are now a temporary resource that are considered replaceable very easy with younger cheaper labor who are desperate to pay Whopper sized school loans.
Of course it likely will be a woman as guys have stopped graduating from college these days. And she knows that she will be temporary as she will be looking for a husband and to have a child or two...she might go back if she needs to pay them student loans off.

Even in the military and govt that is true .
The army for a few years had to pay us old timers to keep us from retiring .

i believe this one exploded.i labeled as Arabsat(arab satellite) elon musk launched it for the Saudi nation.

if I had a better zoom lens and they aren't that expensive to get. I would have better photos of that and the moon.

Rocket test goes okay. SpaceX is doing well.
