Starlink speed and bandwidth is way ahead of any of the existing satellite internet providers.

They still have significant NZ design, manufacturing, and launch operations.

For regulatory and capital raising reasons the parent company has been US based for quite a few years now. They've also been on a multi-year acquisitions spree and picked up quite a large US workforce through that.

Yes, they can after 4 years, although that was only a recent change.

The bigger factor is that Australia and NZ have free movement between the countries for those who are a citizen of either.

> instead of developing that capability in-house or acquiring a few startups with decent engineering talent.

VW has a JV with Rivian. I'd consider that to be similar to what you suggest.

Yeah, I think it will be important to continue improving drone technology and have a plan to scale manufacturing in the event of a major conflict, but the lack of conventional air superiority is what has really brought this war to a stalemate.

But the assumptions should always be that one day someone like that could take power and gain access to that data.

'Cost a LOT' is relative though.

Expensive compared to a 777 flight? Sure. Expensive compared to every other moon capable rocket? No.

You'll need to launch more mass to get there but the technology isn't really any more complicated. It's also a more hospitable environment (reasonable gravity, day/night cycle, some atmosphere, water, etc.)

I love my induction stove with touch buttons. Easiest stove I have ever had to clean. Just like wiping any other part of the bench.

Musk basically did just that with a Mclaren F1.

I think it can be turned around.

Scrap all the moderation changes musk has made, apologise to all the advertisers, keep headcount at a sustainable level (more than they have now but less than they had when musk bought it), and look to launch some new products (reviving Vine is the obvious one).

Not really a big catch for those without many savings.

[Edit]: Also, it's a bit of a stage rule as most of Musk's wealth is still in SpaceX and Tesla.

I think the chance of future generations having the motivation to continue preserving OP's specific website would be quite low but there would be a much greater motivation to maintain a large organised archive.

The cost of administering the trust and paying someone to maintain the website would be far higher than the hosting costs.
